  1. Re:Hey Ted on FBI, IRS Raid Home of Sen. Ted Stevens · · Score: 1

    As opposed to the big internet companies that want net neutrality? Oh right, they're not evil because they say they aren't.

  2. Re:Competition for emusic on Apple To Grant All Labels DRM-Free Distribution · · Score: 1
  3. Re:What is "push email"? on RIM Offers BlackBerry Service Without the BlackBerry · · Score: 1

    Microsoft's scheme for push email also drains battery much faster that RIM's.

  4. Re:Wide Screen on iPhone, Apple TV Headline MacWorld Keynote · · Score: 4, Informative

    It has an optical audio out jack.

  5. Re: Better Distribution System? on Zune Sales Not So Bad After All · · Score: 1

    Very few people could even name one artist that isn't signed to a major label, let alone care enough to buy an album from them.

  6. Re:Apple doesn't make computers on Apple Should Get Out of Hardware? · · Score: 1

    $78.99 after last night's stellar earnings.

  7. Re:It wasn't great, but Mencia wasn't entirely rig on The Decade of the N64 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think he mean Rouge Squadron

  8. Re:hmmm? on Early Testers Say Vista RC1 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    Apple's versioning scheme is just semantics and marketing. It really doesn't hold any meaning.

  9. Moms are playing just now? on Is the Xbox 360 Really Mom Friendly? · · Score: 1

    My mom played NES while I slept many years ago. She loved Zelda.

  10. Re:Woah on Microsoft To Release 'iPod Killer' at Christmas? · · Score: 1

    Yea, because customers will be rushing to use a service that charges twice as much for the music.

  11. Re:Decision made on 27 Playable Wii Games At E3 · · Score: 1

    Because it was supposed to be out in november :(

  12. Re:static_analysis++ on Programmers Learn to Check Code Earlier for Holes · · Score: 1

    Oh right, computers run on ideas.

    All code is mathematics applied and thus can be proven or disproven to work in the way it was intended.

  13. Re:Standards? on Apple Dumps Most of Aperture Dev. Team · · Score: 1

    Their interfaces look totally out of place and make no sense in a Windows environment. The way to lure Windows users to OSX is not by totally disrespecting the UI rules of application design of Windows.

    Now that's funny. Every other Windows media player I've seen (WMP, Real, WinAmp) has had a terrible, non-standard interface.

  14. Re:Doubleplusgood! on Apple's All-Seeing Screen · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Not true.

    The commercial also aired on December 15 at a small TV station in Twin Falls, Idaho. This was so it was eligible for the 1983 advertising awards.

  15. Re:Amazing on Apple Officially Releases Beta Dual Boot Loader · · Score: 1

    They also produced a 7300/180 PC Compatible. It was a hot little machine at the time. 180 MHz 604e and a 166MHz pentinum-class chip. Unfortunately, it only shipped with 8MB (maybe 4) for the PC card, so Windows 95 ran like a dog. The card itself had a VGA and game port on it. You could either use two monitors or they had a special cable that would use one.

  16. Re:For all you DRM neysayers on The State of Digital Music in 2006 · · Score: 1

    In fact, DRM is probably the reason online music sales are as low as they are

    Not it's not. Very few people know what DRM is, let alone it's implications.

  17. Re:Wait a second... on Theaters Unhappy About Faster DVD Releases · · Score: 1

    My school had a different movie 4 or 5 times a week, each generally showing 3 times (LOTR and Star Wars got more). All for a dollar. Usually the big, recnet movies were only on Friday and Saturday, with the other days showing indie/cult films. It was awesome.

  18. Re:I don''t agree either. on Dual-core Systems Necessary for Business Users? · · Score: 1

    Because a Ferrari is FUN.

  19. Re:The Trade-offs on 1 Billion iTunes Contest · · Score: 1

    hey should just hold these kind of contests all the time.

    Dilution.

  20. Re:My problem... on Apple Launches 1 GB nano, Slashes shuffle · · Score: 1

    I use a 1GB Shuffle for snowboarding. Even that is probably overkill. I don't listen to more than 1GB worth of music in a single session. That and it's cheap, so I don't have to worry about breaking anything.

  21. Re:What? Marketing != Truth? on What is the Intel Switch Costing Apple? · · Score: 1

    Apple didn't switch to the Pentium. They switched to the Core Duo, which is a very different chip.

  22. Re:Just wait a couple of days! on Intel Macs May Boot Windows XP After All · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not true. I had a 7300 PC compatible. The Mac side was really fast for the time - 180MHz 604e. The PC card had a 166MHz Pentium clone. and only 8 MB of RAM. You could run both side by side and hit CMD-Return to switch between the two. You even have the Mac display on one monitor and the PC on the other. You did have to boot in Mac OS first, but that was more because the PC was on a PCI card.

  23. Re:OMG! on iTunes is Malware? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Both features are both missing from iTunes.

    Wrong.

  24. Re:A possible merge in store, perhaps? on KDE 4 to Support Apple Dashboard Widgets · · Score: 1

    Um, no. The clones failed to expand the Mac market; they just took share from Apple.

  25. Re:why did they choose windows first, instead... on Google Earth Beta for Mac · · Score: 2, Informative

    Because they bought an existing Windows product?
