  1. Re:Apple Insider? Pah! on Browser-Based Jailbreak For iPhone 4 Released · · Score: 4, Informative
  2. Re:Steve and his FUD on Nokia and RIM Respond To Apple's Antenna Claims · · Score: 1

    what if you are able to connect to more calls because of the supposedly better antenna? Maybe you are dropping calls you would previously never get.

  3. Re:Warranty? on Jailbreaking iPhone Now Legal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There were bricked iPhones due to software unlocks. Granted, they were eventually unbricked

    do you even know what "bricked" means?

  4. Re:Because the competition never lies, right. on Nokia and RIM Respond To Apple's Antenna Claims · · Score: 1

    Between 1 and 2 is not equal to less than 1, so the increase cannot be 100%

  5. Re:Glass, glass everywhere on Apple To Hold iPhone 4 Press Conference · · Score: 1

    It might be more effective if you linked to a picture of the iPhone 4 (Not saying it doesn't shatter, just a tip)

  6. Re:No... on Apple Censors Consumer Report iPhone4 Discussions · · Score: 1

    Censorship is wrong. Period.

    That is ludicrous and you know it. Are you telling me that if you ran a website with comments, you'd leave up all the crappy spam link comments?

    If you do, have you noticed that people hate your website?

  7. Here's some money for a crappy computer... on Do Home Computers Help Or Hinder Education? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ... why aren't you doing better?

  8. Re:iAD on What Developers Think About Apple's iAd · · Score: 1

    I'm genuinely interested in knowing if anyone has a source for iAds being downloaded over the cell network and counting against the limited bandwidth.

    I would assume neither, but I would be extremely surprised if the latter was the case.

  9. Re:iAD on What Developers Think About Apple's iAd · · Score: 1

    :Steve Jobs will deny them all. He could change his mind after he approved it (and frequently does according to experiences).

    I love synecdoche as much as the next person, but sometimes I can't tell if people realize that Jobs doesn't review the apps.

  10. Re:Customer Service on Verizon Makes Offering Service Blocks a Fireable Offense · · Score: 1

    The only problem with that is there is no cell phone provider (that I've experienced in the U.S) that doesn't treat customer service that way.

    sounds like you have totally isolated all the variables.

    Another win for great experiment design.

  14. Re:Born of desperation on A Close Look At Apple's A4 Chip · · Score: 1

    IBM Eventually got the Power line of processors up to 6 GHz in their test labs. Apple just wasn't patient enough to wait for it, though.

    How much did those 6GHz chips cost? How fast did they get their low-power Power processors? What sort of volume were they making them in?

  15. Re:Price point creeping up on Updated Mac Mini Aims For the Living Room · · Score: 1

    I also got it wrong with the redesign for the RAM.

    and you got it wrong with:

    the mouse and keyboard which will be wireless and thus more expensive

    Plus, if the HD crapped out at 1 year 2 months, and you didn't get apple care, then you can go ahead and put a new drive in yourself. It sucks that your HD failed that quickly, but hard-drives fail. It's not like Apple invented a magical hard drive that doesn't fail. And since they use the same stuff "that goes into all the other consumer computers" you can replace it just as cheaply.

    Here's a how-to, took me 12 seconds to find on google: http://www.modmini.com/mod/howto/

    Apple gives you a flat one month warranty

    In what country? Or did you mean "year" where you typed "month"?

  18. Re:A matter of fact, A matter of opinion on The Safari Reader Arms Race · · Score: 1

    the author repeatedly displays his ignorance in TFA. Too bad he will get lots of page views.

    Reader does nothing to the revenue streams of the crappily designed websites it will be used on.

    if people want to use Reader on your site's content, then there is something wrong with your design.

  24. Re:The real reason... on Australian Buyers Say They Were Told "No iPad Without Accessories" · · Score: 1

    The reason this is happening is that apple products are not sold with a markup. Ipods that are sold in stores for $300 are sold TO the stores for $300.

    That's not true.

    Oh, what's that, you want more than just a bald assertion?

    You first.

  25. Re:Apparently it's even faster than Chrome 5 on Safari 5 Released · · Score: 1

    The thing that gets me on chrome is how its URL bar behaves in unexpected ways:

    1. I'm used to starting typing and the suggested url being in the bar so I can just hit enter instead of down arrow, enter (obviously I have to hit down arrow sometimes, but still...)

    2. I'm used to being able to paste something in and then edit it at the beginning by hitting the up arrow and then jump to the end by hitting down. Google broke this in Chrome and in Google.com

    I didn't like the location of the refresh/stop button at first, but now I find myself looking there for it in every browser, so if I just used Chrome all the time I'd probably prefer how it works.
