  1. Customers not polled on Majority Of Customers Prefer Blu-Ray · · Score: 1

    The headline says customers. But unless they bought both technologies I doubt they are customers, just participants in a study. A study which probably doesn't take into account cost and other factors.

  2. VoIP INSTEAD of PSTN on P2P Meets PSTN, With Bellster · · Score: 1

    I thought the allure of VoIP was to replace your PSTN phone?

  3. An open source ad manager and optimizer? on Google To Release AdWords API · · Score: 1

    Does the mean we can expect a whole slew of software for managing and optimizing ads. Perhaps a open source version with some cool, controversial & effective algorithms for bidding and placing ads? Maybe even a real time tool that "looks" for deals/opportunities?

  4. PPC Live CD? on Ubuntu For PPC, And As A Live CD · · Score: 1

    As far as I can tell there is no Live CD for PPC. Are there plans to release one?

  5. Cummulative update skip earlier files? on Mac OS X 10.3.4 Released · · Score: 1

    I just started this 10.3.4 update and it downloaded very quickly. Much quicker than the 41 mb file size would suggest.

    Does this update skip updates that were already released, downloaded and installed?

  6. Only Some Gmail Users? on Gmail Users Get A Storage Boost [updated] · · Score: 1

    I just logged into my Gmail and I still have only 1000 mb.

  7. Re:Any crumbs for an OSX user? on Novell To Release Ximian Connector Under GPL · · Score: 1

    Ya but something a little more groupware like. A client that includes real group calendaring and an server based address book that is more robust than Address Book. Address is a weak Ldap client.

    Currently my small business is using DayLite for OS X. I happy with it but it still leaves a bit to be desired- integrated email, a shared calendar that allows you to invite attendees... And it isn't open. But I do really like is focus on sale force automation.

  8. Any crumbs for an OSX user? on Novell To Release Ximian Connector Under GPL · · Score: 1

    Any chance this will encourage a Exchange connector for something other then Entourage on Mac?

  9. Re:Registering several addresses in the beta? on Gmail Addresses For Sale · · Score: 1

    I am using gmail with safari and it works pretty well, not perfect. It works well with Firefox.

    I got an invite from Blogger, then last week I was allowed to send invites to two friends.

  10. Pop3 Acccess? Blogger Integration? on Forbes Reviews Google's Gmail [updated] · · Score: 1

    Any word on pop3 access or on premium add-ons? How about a spam filter or integration with Blogger?

  11. Re:It's all in the install program... on When Does Usability Become a Liability? · · Score: 1

    It also seems to follow that amateurs with easy to use linux will become unwitting accomplices for spam and various distributed attacks. Their machines will be more open then they think or can maybe understand.

  12. Improve the Finder's Previews too? on iChat AV 2.1, iPhoto 4.0.1 Released · · Score: 1

    I sure would like faster image prview in the Finder.

  13. Mac OSX Too? on Opera Promises Voice-Operated Web Browser · · Score: 1

    Any word on Opera making this work on Mac? Maybe using the built in speech recognition in OSX?

  14. Creates Confusion in the Market Place on Project Gutenberg 2 Raises Some Hackles · · Score: 1

    I don't know if the original Project Gutenburg will pursue them legally but it sure seems like PG2 creates confusion in the market place. Confusion in the market place is the standard judges typically use to decide trademark infringement cases.

  15. Only works through CPU not AP on Sell Your Wireless Bandwidth · · Score: 5, Informative

    What they don't make obvious is you can only sell your bandwith with your CPU acting as the access point. You can't just setup your Air Port base station and rake it in.

  16. Re:even better.... on 'They Can Sue, But They Can't Hide' · · Score: 1

    The medical profession in america is going to hell, and the sue happy population is driving.

    Then the hospitals, state boards and the AMA must be providing the gas. These groups continue to let negligent doctors 'practice' medicine after repeated mistakes. They all cover each other's tails. This creates an environment where patients have no way of knowing who is a reliable doctor and who is careless. Lots of animosity follows.

  17. Re:hmmm on Next Generation Mail Clients Reviewed · · Score: 1

    True True. I recall a slashdot poll not too long ago that ranked outlook pretty darn high

  18. Tell your Representative to oppose... on Do You Have A License For Those Facts? · · Score: 1

    Tell your Representative to oppose unreasonable database protection.

    http://www.publicknowledge.org/take-action/PublicA ction.2004-01-29.5078945128

  19. Some Go Small Some Go Big on Acer Plans A 16 lb. Notebook · · Score: 1

    Apple offers a 17in at 7.9 lbs but you can get Windows for only 10lbs more.

  20. x86 Only? on FreeBSD Based Live CDs · · Score: 1

    I have a Powerbook12 and have not gotten one LiveCd to boot properly. Gentoo has come the closest ,but it too craps out.

  21. How long will the MiniiPod's battery last? a year? on Adventure Story Game for iPod Released · · Score: 1

    Any guesses on the longevity of the the mini's vs. the full size iPods?

  22. Why not carry smaller denominations? on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 0

    The ones without the metal strips.

  23. How do these findings compare with mp3, wmf, etc? on Latest AAC Encoder Comparison Results · · Score: 2

    I would like to see a graph or two comparing AAC, MP3, WMF, and OGG.

  24. Gives Bill Joy a run for Polymath of the Century! on MIT Professor Michael Hawley · · Score: 1

    I love these profiles of 'geeks' who turn out to be renaissance men capable of excellence in nearly any endeavor.

  25. I love getting new features via firmware upgrades on Firmware Upgrades For Everything · · Score: 1

    I love getting new features via a firmware upgrade. It makes me feel like I am getting something for free. And it makes me feel like people are continually trying to imporve the product I invested in. I think the marketing people are recognizing this excitement and are planning on monetizing it.
