  1. Re:But can it run ... on First Android/ARM Netbook To Cost $250, Maker Says · · Score: 1

    I don't think they'll merge the two variants. Rather, I think after there's a transition to touchscreens for most/all Apple devices, they'll just make the iPhone OS default and run older apps in a "mouse/keyboard" compatibility mode. Of course, this is probably quite a few years down the line. I'm sure there will also be some back and forth in features between the desktop OS and the mobile OS (as you're already seeing with the new auto-correct features in Snow Leopard).

  2. Re:This is the end I tell you! on Lenovo Announces ThinkPads Preloaded With XP · · Score: 1

    They should pull a Centrino. Just acknowledge that their latest sucks and go back and optimize and refresh XP. Use what they learned from Vista's development and not make the same mistakes.

  3. Re:Expensive on Japan to Launch Maglev Trains by 2025 · · Score: 1

    That's why its partly govt funded...they believe that the economic benefits will recoup the costs, even if the track itself doesn't make money, the time saved in travel will.

  4. Re:I'll do it on Sony Considers Outsourcing Cell Production · · Score: 1

    The 60 GB version costs $599, the 20 GB version $499...but the real kicker is that in Japan you can get the 20 GB for $320...

  5. Re:corrected link on Wal-Mart Offers Up Downloadable Movies · · Score: 1

    More like bullying tactics and threats to the studios warning them not to sign up with Apple for it's movie downloading service.

  6. Re:Military? on Wii Hacked To Control Sword-Wielding Robot · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Oh snaps!

  7. Re:Military? on Wii Hacked To Control Sword-Wielding Robot · · Score: 1

    Yea and what about outfitting robots with guns and using suits filled with accelerometers and cameras to remotely control them?

  8. Military? on Wii Hacked To Control Sword-Wielding Robot · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I fear the military applications of this...not like it wasn't possible before, but perhaps this might give some people ideas that would ultimately be used to kill people.

  9. Re:There's a slot in the side... on iPhone, Apple TV Headline MacWorld Keynote · · Score: 1

    It has a 2 MP camera

  10. Switch to a Mac on Vista and the Music Industry · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Switch to Macs and use a virtualization solution (Parallels) or Boot Camp to test on Windows systems.

  11. Re:Sony isn't worried on Sony To Go From First To Worst? · · Score: 1

    It's actually 600 bucks...the 500 buck model can only output up to 1080i...

  12. Human Physiology? on Free Online Video Education from Top Universities · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know of any good Human Physiology lectures online? I have a contract with a professor to read and learn the material over the summer independently, and was wondering if there were any free lectures available.

  13. Re:Only once? on Washington Post Reviews its 10 Years on the Web · · Score: 1

    The solution: Google Browser Sync Be sure to encrypt everything

  14. Re:Every kid's dream machine on Project OpenSky Takes Off · · Score: 1

    I'm sure he'd want it to include an S2 engine.

    yay

  16. Re:Regions on Blu-Ray plus a roundup of news on Sony Decides Against Blu-Ray Downsampling · · Score: 1

    Yea, but if you import a Japanese PS3, you won't be able to play your (legacy) DVD movies that are Region 1 coded...

  17. Re:Problem = BluRay on Sony's PS3 Strategy Brilliant or Insane? · · Score: 1

    And besides, you can't compare optional controllers with one which will come standard with every Revolution console. Besides, Nintendo seems to be preparing the killer app for this type of controller to ship before the Revolution does! (Zelda)

  18. Why? on Intel Dumps Iitanium's x86 Hardware Compatibility · · Score: 1

    You know why nobody uses any of that stuff? Because nobody uses the Itanium.

  19. How about... on Movie Studios Unveil New Anti-Piracy Lab · · Score: 1

    not making the content to begin with?

  20. Re:Deer Park !!!!!!!!!! on Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    You can't seriously expect Firefox not to work on Slashdot, can you?

  21. The announcement: on FFXII News Coming At Square Enix Event · · Score: 1

    there will be two versions of FFXII, one for PS2 (the version they have been working on) and one for PS3 (a quick port with highly improved graphics and the same gameplay)...SE was irked when Sony announced the release date for the PS3 around the same time that SE was going to release FFXII for PS2. This is just a way to make the best of a less than ideal situation...

  22. Re:OSX/Win/Linux/FreeBSD on the same machine on Apple Switching To Intel Chips In 2006 · · Score: 1

    That's what most people will do, but many others will go for the Toyota because of what they perceive as better quality and a higher level of support.

  23. Re:OSX/Win/Linux/FreeBSD on the same machine on Apple Switching To Intel Chips In 2006 · · Score: 1

    It's like the price difference between a Toyota Corolla versus a Geo Prism...which would you rather go for?

  24. Re:Price control? on HD-Less PS3? · · Score: 1

    There are ways to format the hard drive so it is usable by both Linux as well as for Games, but it's a long, complex, unsupported process...
