  3. Re:A normal book store? on Publishers Thank Google for Book Sales · · Score: 0

    there is no one yelling at you for reading the entire book while sitting int he middle of the isle at the bookstore. google is granting access to a few pages not the whole book. so its more restrictive than the bookstore or libary. a libaray is public, so is the net.. u can make copies of books there only paying for the copy machine fees... (granted is similar to piracy.. one person buys the item and millions have access) there is noone stopping you there. why does everyone have a grudge against anything on the net?

    not to mention a nice stake in the console market.. Xbox and PS owned by the same company? if this happens nintendo and atari wouldn't have a chance there should be a quota on how many companies Microsoft can buy a year :)

  14. undecisivness on Apple MacBook Pro 'Fastest Windows XP Notebook'? · · Score: 0

    let me try to make sense of all this... there is micosoft, os x and *nix. most of us complain about M$ yet here we are installing xp on a Mac running x86 hardware like its a miracle.. we use os x and *nix to get away from the M$ regime, but here we are doing the opposite. i dont see anyone trying to load xp on the xbox 360 or on the ps2 and praising about that. i understand that we are doing this to prove a point, that it can be done, but, how can a OS run better on a non-native platform? or are we encouraging people to spend $4k on a mac just to run winxp and photoshop because it has better performance??? WTF? not too long ago everyone is praising apple/os x for being the best when it comes to photoshop type uses. but xp on a mac.. thats got to be a joke.

  15. Re:network neutrality on Does Faster Broadband Matter? · · Score: 0

    it seems to be hapenning right now. with other countries using QoS to prioritize their services over the competitors. the question i have is... whats the point of all the bandwith (aside a false sense of speed) when the bottleneck is in the infrastructure or the target servers.

  16. .44 on Apple Holding Back the Music Business? · · Score: 0

    why are people freaking out about not even half a percent drop in sales? half a percent!!!! and you are holding back? WTF! everybody spent their money getting the latest xbox and other xmas gifts... lets see... more music, or a game system?

  25. nothign is free on MS To Limit Security Fixes to Legal Copies of Windows · · Score: 0

    microsoft just found another way to rip ppl off. even if you switch to linux, most distros are still 'free' but there is usually a catch involved. such as if you want support or a prepackaged version you have to pay for it. and if you think that is bad... look at apple. you are paying $130 everytime they release a new version of OS X.
