  1. Re:My prediction for the Apple Watch's success on Apple Watch Launches · · Score: 1

    That's probably hard to say until we see what kind of apps are developed for it. I don't think we have any way of knowing what it's capabilities are yet.

  2. Re:Solution looking for a problem? on Apple Watch Launches · · Score: 1

    That's why I bought the cheap one to start with. I fully expect to upgrade it in 18 months or so, and then I might be willing to buy a nicer one.

  3. Re:*beta* program on Apple Will Let Users Test iOS Beta Versions For the First Time · · Score: 0

    Really. I've been using Yosemite since the first beta release and have only had a couple of minor glitches.

  4. Confused on Cops 101: NYC High School Teaches How To Behave During Stop-and-Frisk · · Score: 1

    I thought stop and frisk had been eliminated when the new mayor took over. Did I miss something? (I think the program described is a good idea, though.)

  5. Re:Bennett Haselton on the Ebola outbreak on NY Doctor Recently Back From West Africa Tests Positive For Ebola · · Score: 2

    People don't care about the real risk, they'd rather get their panties in a bunch about some scenario they read about in a Tom Clancy novel.

  6. Yosemite on OS X 10.10 Yosemite Review · · Score: 1

    The official release must have been the same as Beta 5--no update showed up for me. I've been running it since the first beta without issue, although I was hoping they'd redo the Trash icon.

  7. Re:(Re:The Children!) Why? I'm not a pedophile! on FBI Director Continues His Campaign Against Encryption · · Score: 2

    I'd be a little more sympathetic to his position if it were not for the massive abuses of various govt. agencies which were recently revealed.

  8. Re: In other words... on Consumer Reports: New iPhones Not As Bendy As Believed · · Score: 1

    You missed the /sarc tag, I think.

  9. Re:IvePhone a Distaster on Apple Yanks iOS 8 Update · · Score: 1

    It's such a disaster they sold 10 million the first weekend? Right. I won't be worrying about Apple for a while yet.

  10. Re:If the Grand Ayatollah's against it.... on Grand Ayatollah Says High Speed Internet Is "Against Moral Standards" · · Score: 2

    That would be the No True Scotsman argument.

  11. Re:Yeah sure on Court Releases DOJ Memo Justifying Drone Strike On US Citizen · · Score: 1

    And if we had still had a draft, the public outcry against these bullshit wars would be noticeably louder, maybe even loud enough to slow down the idiots promoting them. The only reason we're not bombing Syria was public resistance to the idea--too bad they didn't do the same for Iraq and Afghanistan.

  12. Missing IRS emails on IRS Recycled Lerner Hard Drive · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    At this point, it's hard to take seriously any of the right wing complaints against Obama. Even if a particular one might be justified, there has been so much fake outrage from them that they just look like clowns.

  13. LOL. That will have the wing nuts frothing at the mouth. BENGHAZI!!

  14. Re:Gotta wonder on Obama Says He May Or May Not Let the NSA Exploit the Next Heartbleed · · Score: 1

    I doubt they have anything on him. He's just frightened of something happening and his political opponents claiming that he "weakened" us somehow, which they would in a heartbeat.

  15. Re:Big Bang's Smoking Gun Found on Big Bang's Smoking Gun Found · · Score: 2

    Except your quote says exactly nothing of any use about what happened.

  16. Re:Change on "Microsoft Killed My Pappy" · · Score: 1

    It's only been a few months since Balmer left, hasn't it?

  17. Re:Radioactive paranoia on Mexico's Stolen Radiation Truck: It Could Happen In the US · · Score: 1

    Did the guys who stole the truck and opened the container ever turn up in a hospital?

  18. Re:Next time.. on Obama Praises NSA But Promises To Rein It In · · Score: 1

    I doubt Rand Paul has the interest in rolling back these abuses that his father does.

  19. Re:Eric Holder on US Promises Not To Kill Or Torture Snowden · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I voted for him twice and am disappointed, but have to admit he is still better than the alternative.

  20. Deal with a reputalbe merchant. on Consumer Strikes Back at Crooked Online Retailer · · Score: 1

    Why even consider dealing with anyone other than B&H or Adorama? It's not worth the potential hassle to save a couple of bucks.

  21. Re:Looks like they crossed the threshold... on Bad Day To Be Sony · · Score: 1

    I'm not all that surprised. He rolled over and signed off on the Microsoft agreement, and now he's planning on a run for governor.

  22. Re:Shhhhhhh on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April · · Score: 1

    I think this falls well within realm of speculation.
