  1. Re:I hope the WiiU is Nintendo's Dreamcast... on Nintendo WiiU Price and Release Date Announced · · Score: 2

    The 3DS hasn't been a success? You do realize that it's out-paced the original DS as far as sales figures when you compare their first years after release date and has already sold 19 million units worldwide as of July?

  2. Re:Not for me yet. on OS X Mountain Lion Review · · Score: 3, Informative

    Pick up Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Both will allow you to run an instance of 10.6 within Lion or Mountain Lion.

  3. Re:This is just scary on Siri Gives Apple Two Year Advantage Over Android · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yet you've probably had no problem with Google collecting your data over the past decade?

  4. Well, Slashdot hates the Wii U... on Nintendo Announces New Console: Wii U · · Score: 1

    therefore it's going to be a resounding success.

  5. Re:But what if... on Apple Negotiates For Unlimited iTunes Downloads · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, since the music you download from Apple is DRM free, I would say yes.

  6. Not an actual iPad 2 on Covert Video of Apple IPad 2 Just Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    You can clearly tell that it's only a mock-up; a shell of what could be the new case design and a printout of the screen pasted on the front so I wouldn't call it a 'leak' of the device.

  7. And they say... on The Kafka-esque Nightmare of Palm App Submission · · Score: 3, Funny

    And they say that Apple's App store process is a pain in the ass. Looks like Palm is emulating more of Apple than we thought. :-)

  8. Nice article but... on Linux as A Musician's OS? · · Score: 1

    Why bother when most I/O devices on the market come with 'Lite' versions of already tried and proven software from MOTU, Albleton, Steinberg, etc? For just the purchase price of a cheap USB or Firewire box you've got a really good software and hardware solution for creating music.

  9. Re:I might give it a try... on The Reinvention of Zelda · · Score: 2, Informative

    They are supposed to be a bit "role playing" but are very linear.

    Um, pretty much all of the Zelda games are linear. Go to this dungeon, get this item & defeat this boss, get direction to the next dungeon to get that item & defeat that boss, wash, rinse, repeat. I don't know what games you've been playing to make you think that they were anything but linear.
  10. Best Buy Says... on Windows Vista Launches To Mixed Reactions · · Score: 1

    I heard a comment while listening to the news on my radio from a Best Buy manager early this morning in which he stated that today will be like the release day for the Nintendo Wii with sporadic availability of Vista in stores for months to come. Somehow I doubt that people will be lining up and fighting for copies of this operating system like they did for Windows '95. The Hype Machine(TM) has started.

  11. Re:This raises some important questions... on iPhone, Apple TV Headline MacWorld Keynote · · Score: 1
    I think that Cingular will yet switch to this phone while you are still under a older contract from them.
    Yes, they will "upgrade" you at the cost of an additional 2 years tacked onto your current contract.
  12. WOW. on iPhone, Apple TV Headline MacWorld Keynote · · Score: 1

    I seriously put off upgrading my crappy mobile phone based off these rumors and since it's not going to be available until June, I guess I'll have to suffer with the piece of junk for another 6 months. I can't wait.

  13. Re:Hmm... on Weird Al Premiere Cancelled Due to Net Leak · · Score: 1
    He's releasing a "dual disk" CD that has a DVD of videos on the back side of it. Somebody probably swiped one from a pre-release stock room and ripped it.

    No. The DVD released with the CD has 6 different animated music video on it (Read the first question's answer) and not this new video. This video was shot after the album was sent to production.
  14. Re:I don't care for these commercials on New "Get a Mac" TV ads · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It makes the PC look productive and serious, instead of the slacker Mac OS X.

    Yeah, and I'm sure that Apple's trying to market these commercials towards those that need office applications at home as opposed to the Mom-and-Pop types who just want a computer to surf the internet, and check/send e-mail from/to their kids.

  15. Re:One thing... on New Version of Mac OS X Leopard Leaked · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's Universal Binary.

  16. DDO? on DDO Goes Solo · · Score: 1

    All this acronym overload is killin' me. The first thing I thought reading the title was: "WTF... Dance Dance Ovulation?"

  17. What I don't get is... on Small Cable Groups Seek To Break Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Why charge the content providers? They are already getting their money for the use of the cable lines through their customers.

    Buncha money grubbers, I tells ya.

  18. Re:It'll never happen... on Star Trek's Synthehol Now Possible? · · Score: 1

    true, but my group of friends all smoke MJ and are against the smoking of tobacco.
    Basically we recognise the dangers of smoking, and cant figure out the benifits of smoking tobacco.


    And you don't recognize the dangers of smoking marijuana and only the benefit of getting high with it?

    Smoking is smoking no matter what it is, all with the same dangers. You need to be less hypocritical.

  19. Re:The big guys need to invest in a new payment sy on Digital Music Sales Skyrocket in 2005 · · Score: 1

    Um, Apple helped lead the way in getting the big Credit Card Companies to accept special, reduced charges used in micropayments.

  20. Of course publishers are positive.... on Higher Game Prices Explored · · Score: 5, Interesting

    They are the ones making most of the money.

    There's a reason why I only buy a game or two a year... I can't afford to keep up. :-\

    I'm off to the used game store.

  21. Registration-Free Link to article on Apple Hedges Its Bet on New Intel Chips · · Score: 5, Informative

    Google Link and just click on the url that shows up on that page. Worked for me :)

  22. Re:And made sure to not to prosecute too successfu on Mac OS X on x86 Videos Get Apple's Attention · · Score: 1

    If Apple has individually serialized each Developer Preview of OS X for x86 that they have given out, maybe they waited to get a copy of it themselves so that they can find out who leaked it and go after them, too?

  23. Translation on George Dantzig, 1914-2005 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Translation for today's college students. :-)

    Link

  24. IGN TV? on IGN TV? · · Score: 1

    Now that's a thought. It would probably be much better than the crap known as G4. Hell, almost anything would be better than that channel.

  25. Geez on Magic Supersecret Anagram T-Shirt · · Score: 1

    Even the Dupes aren't even funny.

    *YAWN*
