  1. Only new Games on Top Japanese Sellers of 2005 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Isn't it true that these numbers only count toward new games. If someone bought a game new, then sold it back. And some other person bought the used game... it still counts as 1 unit sold.

  2. Re:Bah on New Rubik's Cube World Record Set · · Score: 1

    Why don't we give the award to the people who came up with the twist pattern/algorithm to solve this at light speed. Really, doesn't everybody else just have fast hands.

  3. Re:Dell is the only one who should be concerned on Intel Macs May Boot Windows XP After All · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And this might be the biggest reason why Dell should jump ship to AMD..... just in case.

  4. Re:I for one... on Robot Lawyers Solve Problems · · Score: 1

    Got to change it up a bit.

  5. Re:Weight on New Fatal1ty Gaming Mouse · · Score: 1

    Yes! Personally my wrist get tired fast without a very light weight mouse. I am currently using an optical ultra lightweight mouse, and in FPS games it has outperformed every other mouse I ever owned. Including ones with far more buttons and features.

  6. Re:I for one... on Robot Lawyers Solve Problems · · Score: 1

    Make sure they never manufacture the T-1000 model.

  7. Re:BS on More Cookie Investigations · · Score: 1

    LOL forget weblogs. He's got his personal crew of geeksquad.

  8. Re:One question: settling for more DRM? on Sony to Settle Spyware Suit with Downloads? · · Score: 1

    There will never be a remedy cause the DRM cycle never ends.

  9. Re:MP3 market penetration on Digital Music Enjoys Golden Week · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about the numbers of new Rhapsody and Napster subscribers? Nothing in the report.

  10. Laptop Standard on Macworld to Bring Updates to Laptop Lines? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If iPod is the defacto standard for music players, it's going to be difficult to raise the iBook to be the laptop standard. Everywhere I look companies are too heavily invested into Dell and other big name PC laptops. But I'd like to see Jobs try and win this one.

  11. Re:A 3d-clone of tetris.. on The Casual Game Clone Wars · · Score: 1

    I do not remember seeing BlockOut in the arcades. However I do remember it on the Sega Genesis. And thought it was strange to have a 3D tetris game on a system with no scaling capabilities. It would not have been underrated if they got the licenses for a 3D tetris name title.

  12. Go after PSP on Take-Two Takes Financial Hit · · Score: 1

    There is no competition in the PSP game market. Take-two can make all the games there and be in a win-win situation. Help Sony and help themselves.

  13. Altoid Box on 50 Fun Things to Do With Your iPod · · Score: 4, Funny

    Alright the #35 one should not count. That sounds like something fun to do with an altoid box, not an iPod.

  14. Re:Yeesh.. on The Softening of a Software Man · · Score: 1, Troll

    Gates would like to go to his grave with some RESPECT. Besides the financial people watching his money, the tech community will have him go down in history as the one who made bad engineering acceptable.

    When he took such an obvious path as creating a nonprofit organization (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) and pumping in record billions of $$$ to avoid tax and into a country that is a outsource heaven. Really, who didn't see this coming. But some will give him credit for it. OOps did I mention the Bush proposal to eliminate the federal dividend tax right when Gates cashed out on a 99 million US dollar dividend. These people all have hidden agendas.

  15. Re:Come back on Microsoft Challenges Linux's Legacy Claims · · Score: 1

    I didn't see a list in TFA that showed what exactly was tested. This is interoperability claims that any marketing department can do.

  16. Re:Thrill Kill Wasn't that bad on Three Games That Didn't Make It · · Score: 2, Informative

    Really bad games become really great games after a couple beer.

  17. Re:Wild West?!?! on BloodRayne Hits Theatres · · Score: 1

    There is no way this can be worse than mortal kombat annihilation, double dragon and street fighter the movie. There is a limit... I think.

  18. Reading Blogs on Dental School Blogger Punishment Reduced · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There are a million blogs out of each school. What is the chance that this one gets picked out, read and taken seriously.

  19. Re:57 Channels (And Nothin ON) on The Engineer Behind Microsoft's TV Strategy · · Score: 1

    The best windows DVR solution from what I have seen is the combination of Snapstream BeyondTV 4.0 + Beyond TV Link + Hauppauge MVP. This will allow you to record on the PC, watch on the PC, watch on a TV, and watch over a wireless network on a laptop. Record with a TV guide with no subscription fee.

  20. Re:GooglePC on Slashback: Wikipedia, Netwosix, GooglePC · · Score: 1

    Their stock (GOOG) immediately jumped yesterday from $420 to $445 at the point of the GooglePC news release on slashdot. Today the stock price plateaued right when MSNBC announced http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10708514 that Google will bust at a $600 stock price when it can no longer maximize that same revenue source. To be honest I see no sign of stopping at $600.

  21. Re:Amazed on Infinium Phantom Lapboard Coming to PC? · · Score: 1

    Any product with the name Phantom is now categorized as vaporware. Note to any marketing team.

  22. Re:HVD due Q3 2006... on Fujifilm Blu-ray & HD DVD Media Mid 2006 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The original holographic storage was supposed to be in the form of a cube. After the 300GB HVD "disk" we are just scratching the surface of what's to come.

  23. Re:I worked @ CompUSA for a few years on Game Retailers Make Money On The Margins · · Score: 1

    Are you implying Compusa and Bestbuy are losing huge because they don't sell old games? I find it odd that they continue to stock the latest and greatest when they keep losing money. Everyone knows they don't sell every game in stock.

  24. Re:GRUB! on The Boot Loader Showdown · · Score: 1

    A number of the enterprise distros have discontinued LILO unfortunately. There is something good about being able to run "lilo" after making .conf changes and knowing your box will come back after a reboot.

  25. Make Public on The Patent Epidemic · · Score: 1, Insightful

    There should be a law to make public the patents that are in dispute in plain English. Like Billion dollar Corp vs Little joe's pet project etc.

    I think if people can see how ridiculous some of these claims are, they will actually think twice before abusing their power. Usually the one with the deepest pocket wins anyways.
