  1. Bill's last keynote on The Final CES Keynote From Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    It's too bad it's over. Bill making fun of his own nerd personality never got old. I could watch him pretend to play Guitar Hero for many more years. That was so funny. I wish the keynote was just Bill sitting there pretending to play a video game.

  2. GT HD demo alone worth a PS3 on Gran Turismo HD for PS3 Impressions · · Score: 1

    This is by far the best driving game I've ever seen or experienced. If you live for driving games and have an HD display the free demo is worth the cost of a ps3. Nothing comes close. Keep up the good work Sony!

  3. Re:Where are all the replies? on Wii Pre-Orders at EB Games and Gamestop · · Score: 1

    In Seattle wireless joe, we post from our laptops as we wait outside game stops drinking coffee from the next door starbucks.

  4. the real answer on The Engineer Behind Microsoft's TV Strategy · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Mr. Gates, Apple didn't release their remote until we had already gone to manufacturing."

  5. Services wave will be very disruptive on Leaked Memo Gives Microsoft New Direction? · · Score: 1
    Thank God Microsoft got the I.E. team back together just in time for this Internet strategy 3.0. "What luck!" Says the new Microsoft Internet Strategy Manager. Brainstorming, she asks herself "what worked last time?"

    Step 1
    Add Office features to I.E. and start charging for Internet Explorer Professional.

    Step 2
    I.E. Pro needs a few features that throw small errors with any google sevice. This is the hidden message from Bill's "This coming 'services wave' will be very disruptive."

    Step3
    Profit

    Step 4 (optional)
    Payoff the Government

  6. I can't comment on this on Are Media Writers Biased Towards Apple? · · Score: 1

    right now because I'm using an OSX machine at home. But when I get into work -I will comment from my 03 server (if it stays up long enough).

  7. Re:monkeyboy needs thorazine on Balmer Vows to Kill Google · · Score: 1
    Capitalism -even in practice- has long known what breaks it. Monopolies are characterized by a lack of economic competition for the good or service that they provide as well as high barriers to entry for potential competitors on the market.

    But if the Government says, "ok", well hey -let's kill all the interesting ideas that are pushing computer science forward.

    Must be hard to be Gates or Ballmer. Smart enough to know the truth but acting more like Denny's Managers out for revenge. What do they do, sit around and find new ways of cheating?

  8. Re:CES keynote, a bad infomercial at 2am? on Microsoft's Technical Glitches at CES Explained · · Score: 1

    If Microsoft doesn't have a specific demo Microsoft can Rely on 2-3 months before the release date, I suggest Microsoft spend more time on the game and less time marketing it.

  9. CES keynote, a bad infomercial at 2am? on Microsoft's Technical Glitches at CES Explained · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Fake questions, with broken demos? Gates must of had a stong drink back at the hotel that night. I was laughing just like I do at those bad 2am infomercials where the blender doesn't work.

    All year I read about how Bill Gates is the wealthiest, most successful businessman in the world. I don't want to hear about internet access challenges when you are showing off technology that uses the internet. At that point in the keynote I began to wonder why is Microsoft even at the show (nevermind the keynote address)? Shouldn't the keynote be given by a person from Sony/Apple or some other vender that can deliver reliable hardware and software?

    The Forza Motorsport demo should have been a slam dunk. Who wants their console gaming experience to be more like a pc experience? With the Xbox Microsoft is introducing unreliability in the gaming console market. Bravo.

    They should only have a small booth in the back of CES in my opinion.

  10. only use what Microsoft gives you? on How Can I Trust Firefox? · · Score: 1

    Anyone notice the article stopped soon after he started using firefox? Not much to talk about after you have it running? The article just ended. I wanted him to write about how great a web experience is when you have i.e. set to the highest security level.

    So is the lesson to only use what Microsoft gives you?

  12. reset button positioning on Ultimate Automotive Computer Installation · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Great install. I give this carmac project 9 out of 10.

    only -1 for the position of the reset buttons (upper left towards the open space in the trunk). They need to be on the dash, or enclosed in the trunk.

    -brady

  13. i'd buy an xbox if osx ran on it on More On IBM's Next-Gen Xbox Chipset Win · · Score: 1

    microsoft are you listening?

  14. Free with every aol 9.0 win 03 server! on Microsoft to Pay AOL $750M in Settlement · · Score: 1

    I'm already tossing out aol disks. Windows 2003 server cd's are about the same value to me.

  15. power on/off via remote on PS2 Getting DVD Upgrade & Progressive Video? · · Score: 1

    Sony should include this feature at least for the American market :-)

  16. dear iSync team members on Mac OS X 10.2.5 Update Available · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There's a new phone on the market called P800 from sonyericsson. It's pretty cool, it does have bluetooth support (as you're aware of since 10.2.4) -but it also has these other applications called Calendar and Messages. You should check these out too. I think these two apps would go great together with iSync.

  17. msft's just waiting.... on Microsoft Wants to Take on Google · · Score: 1

    to see who gets into office before they try to kill another innovative company... Have you noticed that when you search for 'google' on msn the results list has MSN second from the top with a pretty picture beside the link? It use to be first, before google.com so they are getting better.

  18. Possible New WWDC Slogan on Apple Updates to Java 1.4.1 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "Come for the Java and stay for the Cocoa and the Java." Last year it was just "Come for the Java stay for the Cocoa".

  19. BMW should 'Switch' on When Appliances Revolt · · Score: 1
    So no surprise here. I downloaded the clips using XPPro/IE6/WMP with everything up to date and I get "can't load error number####". Then relaunching WMP and trying again -more errors "can't find file".


    I then download all the clips in OSX/Safari beta/WMP loads and plays just fine.


    I don't even want XP Pro in my house never mind CE functioning in my car. I'll keep my 3 series thank you.

  20. More Software Flexibility on Microsoft Tries a "Switch" Campaign · · Score: 1

    On the mac I can choose AppleWorks or Office? I'm going to switch to a mac then.

  21. did you really find it interesting? on Pentium-Based Macs The Future of Apple? · · Score: 1

    The author covered no new ground, had nothing specific to say other than the obvious. I was hoping he'd mention something about Apple not being around in a few years.....
