  1. Re:I welcome our OS IX overlords on 'Back To the Mac' Media Event On October 20th · · Score: 1

    well, Snow Leopard and Leopard were used separately, so that leaves Lion and Cougar

  2. Re:meanwhile, I'm stuck with an iBrick on Verizon, 4G and iPhones · · Score: 1

    that's not what brick means

  4. Worst /. Article Title Ever... on Apple Accepts, Then Rejects BitTorrent iPhone App · · Score: 1

    ... or just more of the same?

  5. How much local storage? on AppleTV Runs iOS, Already Jailbroken · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How much space is there for installing apps?

  6. Re:Lies, damned lies, and web statistics? on The Surprising Statistics Behind Flash and Apple · · Score: 1

    and while it is a little buggy, it is definitely MUCH better than flash. I'd probably cancel my netflix subscription if they switched.

  7. Re:Floppy drives anyone? on The Surprising Statistics Behind Flash and Apple · · Score: 1

    it wasn't until the third gen that the imac got firewire... Bondi, 5 colors, then the iMacDV

  8. Re:Oh thank god on The Surprising Statistics Behind Flash and Apple · · Score: 1

    Put simply, blame the ad producers, not the conduit they use to display ads.

    You have part of a point, but the conduit also really sucks: Browser crashing/freezing and CPU overuse

  9. Re:Jobs reality distortion field on Looking Back At OS X's Origins · · Score: 1

    BeOS was ready to provide backwards compatibility with OS9?

  10. Re:T-Mobile not major? on IOS 4.1 Jailbroken Already · · Score: 1

    it is by far the smallest of the big 4.

  11. Re:Raise the white flag, Steve? on IOS 4.1 Jailbroken Already · · Score: 1

    they seem to be doing fine there

  12. Re:Raise the white flag, Steve? on IOS 4.1 Jailbroken Already · · Score: 1

    If you don't make the former happy first, you don't get a chance to make the latter happy.

  13. Re:Raise the white flag, Steve? on IOS 4.1 Jailbroken Already · · Score: 1

    Because T-Mobile isn't a major carrier, and it is the only one that offers that in the U.S.

  14. Re:Raise the white flag, Steve? on IOS 4.1 Jailbroken Already · · Score: 1

    That would make the negotiations with media and cell companies go well, I'm sure.

  15. Ping might finally kill MySpace on Ping Could Be Apple's Social Networking Backdoor? · · Score: 1

    that's the good news

  16. Re:ew quicktime? on New QuickTime Flaw Bypasses ASLR, DEP · · Score: 1

    Is the "interesting" mod referring to how interesting it is that you are bad at understanding/discovering causes?

  17. Re:Why really does Apple behave this way? on iPhone App In App Store Limbo Open Sourced · · Score: 1

    AC's on slashdot

  18. Re:Subscription service on Apple In Talks To Bring $0.99 TV Rentals To iTunes · · Score: 1

    yeah, why don't they offer tv shows to their iAds clients?

    that will never be used

    "If you don't like it, don't buy it..." ... AND shut up.

  21. Re:Yeah nothing works anymore on Throwing Out Software That Works · · Score: 1

    which sounds better "Go to this url to interface with our business" or "FREE App!"?

  22. Re:Android on iPhone vs. Android Battle Goes To Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    not due to software or hardware superiority, but due to the sheer size of its battery

    what exactly do you mean by hardware superiority then?

  23. Assumptions on Abandon Earth Or Die, Warns Hawking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster on planet Earth in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand, or million.

    Right, because space and non-earthlike planets are so much less prone to disaster.

  24. loads in a stopped state? on Flash Ported To iOS and iPhone 4 · · Score: 1

    how about doesn't load unless you ask it to, so that it doesn't hurt those other performance factors: load time and bandwidth.
