  1. Actually the weatherman... on Firefox Users Surf Safer · · Score: 1

    Actually the weatherman and the traffic guy of our local radio station discussed FireFox a lot, I have never heard them talked anything about "mozilla suit" or Linux.

  2. and adjustable screen backlight on 'True' Video iPod Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    So I can save some power when I am looking at notes or something.

  3. SOI? 65nm? on Apple Switched Chips Too Soon? · · Score: 1

    So could some one explain the difference between this kind of modification and Silicon On Insulator (SOI)?

    BTW, they mentioned 65nm, but one of my friends in this business told me they were making 9nm feature in their research facility about one month ago. And some Japanese company have been "touting" 20+nm scale transistor since last spring. So what's new here?

  4. Re:trees trees trees on The Future of Digital Camera Technology · · Score: 1

    A lot of chemical and polymer is also needed to produce photo paper.

  5. trees trees trees on The Future of Digital Camera Technology · · Score: 1

    We need more trees to produce photo paper. A direct result of future DC.

  6. FF will integrate useful extension on Microsoft IE 7 Goes (More) Beta · · Score: 1

    Never forget tab function was a extension at mozilla days, after some discussion, it become a basic function of mozilla and then firefox. So this will happen again.

  7. Re:Jobs's strategy? on Intel Makes 45nm Chip · · Score: 1

    I am only hoping Steve Jobs hasn't announced when he could get 4G CPU from intel, otherwise there will be no 4G CPU at all.

  8. Re:network security - not really on Fiber Optic vs Copper · · Score: 1

    A smart intruder may want to do some remote work on the routers or the computers of telephone companies.

  10. cost is $50 per pod on iPod nano Owners In Screen Scratch Trauma · · Score: 1

    is there anyone want to pay that amount of money for a possibly better iPod?

  11. Re:Polycarbonate scratches easily on iPod nano Owners In Screen Scratch Trauma · · Score: 1

    Polycarbonate has also been used at bullet proof glass, astronaut face pieces and aircraft windows. It is strong because the phenyl ring on its backbone can spin, this absorbs energy. However this behavior makes polycarbonate easily scratched.

    The problem with acrylic plastic like plexiglas is that they are brittle, flammable and also easily scratched too. The flammability is a big thing. To protect people of US, the US government require those electronics sold in US made of inflammable plastic. Polycarbonate is naturally inflammable. If you want to use plexiglas, you need to add flame retardant, which in turn maybe harmful to people and maybe forbidden in other countries.

    I propose use a layer of PETE instead of acrylic polymer because PETE is less brittle.

    As light weight, high modulus, impact resistant, beautiful and cheap materials, there is no such a thing yet. If one /.er has several billion spare US dollars and 20 years spare time, I may be able to make one for him/her.

  12. If you must have x86 on Mini-ITX Computing For Everyone · · Score: 1
  13. The other story on Firefox Exploit Adds Fuel to Browser Security Feud · · Score: 1

    One of my friends told me that after several large scale worm/virus outbreaks and one prolonged FBI investigation about a hacking of NASA from their IP address, (which turn out to be via their IP), the IT guy of that company only agree to buy Mac and unix machines.

  14. But Apple doesn't buy current Intel CPU on Why Apple Picked Intel Over AMD · · Score: 1

    They are buying CPU in future. There are things we don't know but Steve Jobs know.

  15. Then all iPod batteries die... on Apple Launches Video Podcasting For iTunes · · Score: -1, Troll

    Every body asks for an exchange, and Apple files bankruptcy.

  16. Other OSes on IE UI Designer On His Switch To FireFox · · Score: 1

    So in your opinion, this behavior should be Windows only or appliable to all OSes?

  17. Ctrl+Mouse wheel scroll on IE UI Designer On His Switch To FireFox · · Score: 4, Informative

    I like it better.

  18. Re:Defection on China's Second Manned Space Flight · · Score: 1

  19. windows see windows, macs see macs on iPod nano, iTunes 5, iTunes Phone · · Score: 1

    that's it.

  20. They are making IM-NexGen on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1

    They can claim that they are not working on IM today. And tomorrow they step out and say, "Say HELLO to the world beyond IM! This is not IM anymore! You can blah blah..."

    They don't lie. We don't know. That's marketing.

  23. Re:But why did they do this? on IBM Donates Code to Firefox · · Score: 1

    If the big blue wants to save a bunch of money on desktop OS by switching to Linux, it needs a good browser for its 60+ years old CXOs.

  24. Tim Rowley is also from IBM? on IBM Donates Code to Firefox · · Score: 1

    The SVG master of mozilla, isn't he from IBM? Isn't he contributing code to mozilla continuously?

  25. Maybe thread performance on Google Gives Reason Why it is Built on Linux · · Score: 1

    I assume they need to bring a lot of threads on those machines, so performance difference may be a factor.
