Positive vs Negative

On: Yelp For People To Launch In November

Positive reviews will be published instantly. Negative ones will go to a private inbox for 48 hours. How do they tell the difference?

The script is not the blocker

On: Ask Slashdot: Are AdBlock's Days Numbered?

Advertisers need to realize that *I* am the ad blocker, not the script I installed. The script just makes it *easier* to manage.

On: Facebook Gives Free Voice Calls a Trial Run in Canada

I for one would not be upset at all if/when Facebook fails. Another thing to consider: is your data plan advantageous? I tried VOIP on android over wifi once, it was terrible... almost unusable. With ideas like this, I am amazed FB is still in business.

They're certainly proving they are NOT too big to fail. Grasping at straws lately.

So long Avast!

On: Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0 Released

I have switched to MSE and so far am happy with it. Got tired of the Avast nags to upgrade. Poor approach on their part.

Re:Last time I checked

On: Federal Court Issues Permanent Injunction For Isohunt

Living in a border city, we cross several times a year from Windsor to Detroit (shopping, sporting events, etc) and each and every time we enter the US my ass puckers up. I HATE entering the states even though I have absolutely nothing to hide... it's brutal.

Vacationing is a pain in the ass too. We usually fly out from Detroit metro, so we always have a hard time in the airport coming back home. They just can't seem to grasp why Canadians from Windsor would fly out of, and into, Detroit.

Can you imagine the precedence this will create for disgruntled eBay'ers?
