  1. "Flat Earth conventions have begun popping up all on YouTube To Blame For Rise in Flat Earth Believers, Says Study (cnet.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    ..over the globe"

    We all saw what you did there.

  2. It's The Mandela Effect! on Math Shows Some Black Holes Erase Your Past and Give You Unlimited Futures (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Those experiencing it claim the past really did change and it's not their faulty memory. It's name comes from them remembering Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 80's.

  3. Re:Clicks resulting in sales on Is Online Advertising Worthless? (zerohedge.com) · · Score: 1

    Sure, Coca Cola & a zillion other instantly concoctable clones would go for that.

  4. Godless is actually a family of malware on 'Godless' Apps, Some Found In Google Play, Root 90% Of Android Phones (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Some variants are just the bare bones needed to install a payload which then waits for remote C&C instructions.

  5. These "ads" you speak of, "shaping my life" on Your Data Footprint Is Affecting Your Life In Ways You Can't Even Imagine (fastcoexist.com) · · Score: 2

    They appear where? Oh, wait, *that's* what the ABP icon in my toolbar is saying - its been there so long I'd kinda gotten used to it. I must have become ad-blocker blind, if such a convoluted concept exists.

  6. Is there an echo in here? on Check Point Introduces New CPU-Level Threat Prevention · · Score: 1
  7. Advertised on YouTube? on Nasty Business: How To Drain Competitors' Google AdWords Budgets · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hey, so I don't get to see those "your content will play in 5 seconds" prompts if I use their service? Cool!

  8. It's just another way to sell phones on Slashdot Asks: Do You Want a Smart Watch? · · Score: 1

    Noticed these all need to be tethered to be useful? Anything which sells more huge-margin smartphones is just gonna be rammed down consumers throats, so expect tons of "buy this handset and get this hugely discounted smartwatch" type bundles any time now.

  9. The solution is obvious on Software Uses Almost 1/2 the Storage On 32GB Surface Tablet · · Score: 1

    Just do what this guy did and use two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-pMZd1fupw

  10. Total Recall [2012] on $1 Billion Mission To Reach the Earth's Mantle · · Score: 1

    Never would I have thought science could be kicked out of the park regarding journeys beneath our feet further than The Core until ... I saw the "elevator" in TR 2012.

  11. If Windows 8 is a dud, WP8 will suffer too on Even Windows 8 Users Prefer Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Making UI uniform across all devices is a risky strategy. If consumers, familiar with Windows 7 & XP, hate Windows 8, how are they going to be sold Microsoft's new phone on the strength "it's the same as our new PC desktop" ?

  12. Nixing backups isn't the smartest move on Microsoft Wants To Nix Data Center Backup Generators · · Score: 0

    What would this guy have done without one?

  13. Isn't the real story here that multitouch is core? on Samsung: Android's Multitouch Not As Good As Apple's · · Score: 1

    We were told recently the Samsung slapdown by Apple was because of Samsung mods to Android.

  14. Re:GPS Logger + CarCam on Ask Slashdot: Best Use For an Old Smartphone? · · Score: 3, Informative
  15. Speaking of those precious pixels on a handset on Former Xerox PARC Researcher: Windows 8 Is a Cognitive Burden · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Why waste a quarter of them with a stupid huge black bar running down the full length of the homescreen, making it look all lop-sided and amateur?
    Are we supposed, like, dig this as the trendy new way forward?

  16. This is how extorting $5 per Android handset began on Microsoft Picks Another Web Standards Fight · · Score: 1

    Just say no. Seriously - why don't the people responsible take the past history of those "contributing" into account?

  17. Could work... on Why Intel Should Buy Nokia · · Score: 1

    Nokia is in imminent danger of leaving the mobile phone industry in favour of becoming an outsourced excrement distributor. This could be their last chance of avoiding that and giving their customers what they really want, thereby surviving: Nokia Android handsets/tablets.

  18. You have to rely on IE for Javascript? on Should Developers Support Windows Phone 8? · · Score: 1

    This guy showed the world how well that works out.

  19. Makes a change from their CEO scaring us on Microsoft, IBM Want to Seal Patents Agreements With Samsung · · Score: 4, Funny
  20. Both of them? on Microsoft Surface Release Date Confirmed · · Score: 1

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-pMZd1fupw

  21. Nokia still do phones? on Nokia Aborts Meltemi Linux-Based Feature Phone · · Score: 1

    I thought they'd moved wholesale to the outsourced excrement distribution business.

  22. Re:crash faster on Windows 8 Graphics: Microsoft Has Hardware-Accelerated Everything · · Score: 4, Funny

    You can use Windows as a server? Gosh, next you'll be saying they do phones too.

  23. Re:YASIR on Windows 8 Release Date: October 26th · · Score: 1

    Wise words indeed.

  24. Lists and docs on a touchscreen phone on Apple Wins Mobile Patent On Displaying Lists, Documents · · Score: 1

    How fondly I remember them from the Ericsson R380 back in 2000. I guess it wasn't patented then because not only was it so freaking obvious, it had been done before with various other PDAs. Still, there's a reality distortion field to combat now, so let's see the epic battle betwixt that and prior art begin!

  25. Wait ... we've been here before on Steve Ballmer: We Won't Be Out-Innovated By Apple Anymore · · Score: 1

    He demonstrated his stunning visionary abilities a while back - how'd that work out for you, Steve?
