  3. Iron content of spinach myth due to a typo. on Kids Who Watch Popeye Cartoons Eat More Vegetables · · Score: 1

    An 1870 report in Germany listed the iron content of spinach with the decimal place one spot too far to the right, in truth the iron in spinach isn't much different from most other fruits and vegetables.

  4. Re:How many blew away the box office? on Filmmakers Resisting Hollywood's 3-D Push · · Score: 1

    People then loved the 3D moves, and sense-o-rama films, and every other gimmick thrown at them.

    I played Decent and Doom in full 3D many years ago. It didn't catch on then, it wont now.

  5. Re:3D frenzy will peter out on Filmmakers Resisting Hollywood's 3-D Push · · Score: 1

    Its cyclical it seems. Still got a copy of "cat women from the moon" in 3D and my old LCD shutter glasses around here some place. There have been 3D moves since the 50s. People think they're great for a while, then it fades out. Then ten years later it all gets dusted off and we start over.

  6. Re:WebKit on Hands On With the BlackBerry Torch 9800 · · Score: 1

    Well yea, but the news is that the platform is so out of date that its just now getting a WebKit based browser. Like the commercials they're running these days, it smacks of a desperate attempt to be "cool".

  7. Chinese knock offs. on Hardware Hackers Reveal Apple's Charger Secrets · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most third party chargers I see for Apple hardware are Chinese knock-offs purchased for under 20$ from eBay. I somehow doubt these manufacturers signed anything.

  8. Re:When a pool fails... on Officials Use Google Earth To Find Unlicensed Pools · · Score: 1

    Ideally they would have said "no license for you till you get nails. No, staples wont work".

  10. 'wrong by default' people are wrong? on Tribalism Is the Enemy Within, Says Shuttleworth · · Score: 2, Funny

    People who think people from another group are 'wrong by default' are wrong!

    If this was Startrek the androids head would now explode.

    Legal or not, there are emulators and rum dumps out there of every system I can think of.

  15. Re:The iPad is not that bad on iPad Owners Are 'Selfish Elites' · · Score: 1

    So apps you paid for being uninstalled without your consent because Apple changed their mind, feels like freedom?

  16. Re:How many Android users know what they're using? on Android Users Aren't As Disloyal As Reported · · Score: 4, Interesting

    And in the UK "Android" phone sales are up 300%.

  17. Re:How many Android users know what they're using? on Android Users Aren't As Disloyal As Reported · · Score: 1

    I have a Droid as well, great phone. Thats not the point, the point is that if you get (for example) the backflip by Motorola for AT&T it really doesn't look much like an "Android" phone. It looks like some funky Motorola specific interface. Hell, AT&T even replaced all links to Google search etc with Yahoo. I dont think it says "Google" anywhere in the device.

  18. How many Android users know what they're using? on Android Users Aren't As Disloyal As Reported · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I know a number of people who have "that cool phone" or "the phone I saw on that tv show". They dont know its Android since thats not really a brand name. This is expounded by how different the UI elements are on different brands Android phones. HTC looks quite different from Motorola (stupid moto-blur) and so on. Some manufacturers are even rebranding Google funconality, see the "Genius Button".

  19. Re:WHOOSH! on Behind the Special Effects of Inception · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The ambiguity of the ending is important, it implies the possibility that not only was his wife right, but still alive and awake.

  20. I cant read your crazy moon language! on The Puzzle of Japanese Web Design · · Score: 4, Funny

    He's right! Those sites are full of meaningless glyphs and contain almost no words!

  21. Re:Depends where you live on Survey Says Most iPhone Users Love AT&T · · Score: 1

    So your comparing a brand new iPhone 4 (based on your comment about the antenna problem) to an old, discontinued Android phone. Sounds like a fair and unbiased comparison all right.

  22. How would they know? on Survey Says Most iPhone Users Love AT&T · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Its not like they had the opportunity to try an iPhone with another carrier.

  23. Re:retire it on What To Do With an Old G5 Tower? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sad, but true.

    I'd use it for a practical joke, will it with cement and put it outside with a "free" sign on the side. Sit back and watch the hijinks.

  24. Re:Not safe enough for my work on Playboy Launches Safe For Work Website · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that explaining to the HR department that "its a safe for work playboy!" wont work too good.

  25. Re:Why are we still obsessing over this? on Nexus One a Failed Experiment In Online Sales · · Score: 1

    The reason is that it was not intended to sell well. It was a developer phone intended to be the basis for the Android 2.x platform that other people such as Motorola and HTC could copy. Nothing more.
