  1. Too soon to announce it? on GM Says Driverless Cars Will Be Ready By 2018 · · Score: 1

    Isn't it too soon to announce this? Wouldn't another car company release their "driverless-car" model before GM?

  2. PlayStation 3 is a major factor... on Warner Backs Blu-Ray. End Times For HD-DVD? · · Score: 1

    As we know the PS3 has a Blu-ray drive, according to WikiPedia, 5.59 million units have been sold as of Sept. 30. I guess all of the consumers aren't currently using the console mainly for movies, but they are potential costumers. So this could be another major reason for Warner and other studios to release their movies only in Blu-ray.

  3. Re:Don't have to give real information on Name-Your-Cost Radiohead Album Pirated More Than Purchased · · Score: 1

    True, but is faster just clicking a torrent and let it download instead of going to radiohead's site, adding the disc on the basket, waiting in queque, entering your information and then start the download. So this is why I think people are downloading it ilegally instead of going to the process I mentioned.

  4. people don't want to give their information... on Name-Your-Cost Radiohead Album Pirated More Than Purchased · · Score: 1

    In order to get it from radiohead's site you must enter your personal information, even when you aren't paying, so many people don't have the time to fill the form or simply don't want to.

    According to WikiPedia there are other companies working on "Air Car" models and also it states that the MDI model, is not in production yet.

  8. Bug message... on April to See Month of MySpace Bugs · · Score: 1

    Once they post the bugs, until they get fixed, we'll get this message: "Sorry! an unexpected error has occurred. This error has been forwarded to MySpace's technical group." Remember when the music player was hacked? They fixed it in less than 24 hours, I think the same will happen with these bugs...

  9. OMG! on NASA May Have Killed The Martians · · Score: 1

    Oh my God they killed the Aliens! - You NASA Bastards!

    Rhapsody isn't the only one, there's also eMusic, the development of the Linux version of the download manager has been discontinued, but it works.

  12. Real is being the pioneer... on Web Based Rhapsody Targets Linux · · Score: 1

    They could be the first real subscription music service for Linux, but if other companies see that it's working they will follow.

  20. Nice addition to GMail on GMail Adds Virus Protection · · Score: 0

    I've been using GMail for about 2 months now, and I like it better than any other free e-mail service because of its features. Personally I don't open any e-mail attachments without scanning them first, but now they add virus scanning to their service, many end users that don't have an anti-virus on their system will benefit from this feature.
