  1. Re:No Free Market in the EU? on EU Plans To Make Apple, Adobe and Others Open Up · · Score: 1

    No, it's more like create an API that anyone can use, or find anothet place to sell your stuff!

  2. Re:Dell = Faulty, by definition on Dell Selling Faulty PCs · · Score: 1

    I have...

    and my company has 12k dell workstations + servers in 24 different offices all over the world.

    And I can only say one thing - I love Dell!

  3. Re:I think I know why it's external. on Seagate Releases 3TB External Drive for $250 · · Score: 1

    Operating systems are run from the SSD - this is just the /home drive!

    Who cares? 85% of all statistcs used on the Internet is just made up as you go anyway!

  5. Re:set-top boxes available to access iPlayer and I on BBC To Create Internet Protocol TV Standard · · Score: 1

    There's a reason why there are region locks. It is because iPlayer is there to support the UK citizens, as it's their money being spent producing the programmes. Yes - it's free for them online, but they've already paid for the shows with taxes.

  6. Re:Neat, but... on The Fastest ISPs In the US · · Score: 1

    are ISPs still using gigs per month? Last month, I went above 3 TB....

  7. Re:But that is now on Flight of the Desktops · · Score: 1

    Laptops were popular a few years ago, but I find that people are actually going back to desktop computers after a while. They might have a laptop as well, but it is not the computer they use for their day to day business.

  8. Re:Not just for Linux on Google Introduces Command-Line Tool For Linux · · Score: 1

    you can run it on my game console, my GPS, my DVB-S2 tuner and my phone! I don't have an iPod, but if I wanted one, it would be one that could run it as well....

  9. Re:is it just me? on Iceland Votes "Já" To Proposed News Haven · · Score: 1

    Yes

  11. Re:No blu-ray on Microsoft Unveils Smaller Xbox 360 Model, Kinect Details · · Score: 1

    The big reason the PS3 having Blu-Ray was so great was because the console cost $500 or $600, and a Blu-Ray player cost $400 to $700. It was like buying the Blu-Ray player and getting a console for free. The PS3 also supposed updated profiles that older hardware wouldn't.

    So it's not because of more space available for games on the discs?

  12. Re:I Have To Agree on A Battle of Wits On the Net's Effect On the Mind · · Score: 1

    Kind of like BP's execs and their oil rig's safety mechanisms.

    You mean Transocean and Haliburton don't you? Better stop skimming as well!

  13. Re:depends on a person on A Battle of Wits On the Net's Effect On the Mind · · Score: 1

    Most people have never been, are not and will never be deep thinkers able to contemplate beyond the moment,

    I have staff to do that for me!

  14. Re:Who the hell would trust this? on Lenovo Trying Face Recognition For Logins On New Laptops · · Score: 1

    It's not like this is new for Lenovo either. They've had it for a long time. And no - I haven't managed to fool it with a photo of myself yet.

  20. Re:Decrease, not increase on Solar Cell Inventor Wins Millennium Prize · · Score: 1

    but the engergy used to produce those new gadets are not taken in to the calculation, is it? Also, a lot of the people by more new gadgets instead of upgrading for a more energy efficient place at home. Your statement is valid for some, for others, not at all.
