  1. Sorry, they do cure cancer on Ballmer - Trusting Vista and Battling Google · · Score: 1

    ...Or at least trying to. Google compute helps folding@home out, which does some work in cancer research.

  2. Same with cell phones? on The Problems with Broadband in America · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the US in a similar position when it comes to the coverage of the wireless phone network, as well?

  3. Re:I'm curious... on 300 Years to Index the World's Information · · Score: 1

    If there's someone looking for a blog of a thirteen-year-old girl, Google is probably determined to help them find one.

    I think Google's problem will be determining which information is actually worth indexing, I for one wouldn't give a damn if they opened a search index for lorem ipsum text.

  4. I'd like my house indexed on 300 Years to Index the World's Information · · Score: 5, Funny

    How long until Google decides that your house is information? Just imagine an army of small robot spiders invading your home every night, registering the position, name and contents of every single object you own, making it searchable from house.google.com. Unless you nail a robots.txt to your front door, that is...

  5. IQ on The Intelligent Door Handle · · Score: 1

    They say you need an IQ of 10 to use a door. I suppose that number rose a bit now, eh?

  6. Re:That's how aggregators work on Google Launches Google Reader at Web 2.0 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    We all know most bloggers are statistics whores who love waving that 90's style hit counter around :) But yeah, all that's needed is a word limit on your RSS feed.

  7. Might not be popular with bloggers on Google Launches Google Reader at Web 2.0 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    It seems to be loading entire blog posts into the reader, this could steal some readers that would just 'feed off the feed' instead visiting the blog itself... Also, for some screenshots: http://obli.net/item/255

  8. R.H.I.N.O? on Review: Ultimate Spider-Man · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What does that acronym mean anyway?

  9. Competition is good on Yahoo Competes with Google in Book Scanning · · Score: 1

    With all this competition it won't be long until they start indexing comic books, then I'll finally be able to find that awesome Donald Duck comic I read back in 1996 and couldn't ever find again.

  10. Re:Sim Ant? on Google Ant · · Score: 1

    What if someone hoarded a lot of money to call it spanked monkey, then?

  11. Some pictures on Google Techs, Webmasters Mingle · · Score: 0

    Some blogger found pictures of the party hosted on google's own servers. looks like they haven't come around to releaseing them yet...

  12. omg plz on Google to Include iTunes? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    http://omgplz.org/ is the shit

  13. Re:One name that will always live in infamy on World of Warcraft For The Win · · Score: 0

    JEEEENKIINSS!!!!!!

  14. Re:In China ?.. on World of Warcraft For The Win · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Maybe that's why they've got their own servers, wouldn't want to get any new and exciting words such as 'freedom' slipping in, now would we?

  15. The gMail invite spooler's been shut down, too on First Google Maps Hack Takedown · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Google's been shutting down the gMail invite spooler , too, but according to the creator and owner of the site (http://isnoop.net/gmail/) his legal notification from the legal team was quite friendly, it's pretty cool that google isn't the kind of company that keeps rabid lawyers around to sue people. See thread on Somethingawful.com for more: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?s= &threadid=1580408

  16. It's all fine until... on Hobbit Hole + World Class Fallout Shelter · · Score: 0

    It's all fine until the water chip breaks, I tell you!

  17. sweet on Logitech Gives A Mouse A Laser · · Score: 0

    Sweet, looks like I won't be using my 5 year logitech warranty to its end after all.

  18. petitions actually work? on After Petition, Farscape Miniseries Trailer Online · · Score: 5, Funny

    I thought petitioning was a way to raise the hope for people by making them feel like they actually were doing something to help, I'd never think they'd make a difference. Well, it's always nice to hear about a succeeded one :)

  19. ooooo, an expert on Internet Meltdown Predicted for Tomorrow · · Score: 0

    Out of all experts in all fields, I think the computer experts are the ones with the least knowledge, he's probebly just playing Nostradamus to get attention, and if there is no attack, he'll claim that his announcement made us aware of the attack to we would prevent it.

  20. Re:Not the first time... on How 8 Pixels Cost Microsoft Millions · · Score: 0

    There was a similiar case in Sweden a couple of year s ago, an italian car named "fitta" was to be introduced, fitta means "cunt" in Swedish, surprisingly enough, it slipped, and people are driving around in their small, yet comfortable cunts.

  21. woohho on Transparent Aluminum Is Here · · Score: 5, Funny

    The whales will have a safe journey home!

  22. Flamed out by apple fanbase? on Real Feels iTunes Backlash · · Score: 0

    Looks like Real got a spanking from apple/iPod fans, too bad they don't have any fans to defend themselves with.

  23. other way around? on Free Can Mean Big Money - The Open Source Economy · · Score: -1, Troll

    I thought free software meant not spending any money on software, not getting money from it...

  24. More like... on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...revenge of the shit!

  25. what? on Are You Annoying? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I answer questions I know the answer to with "what?", then I answer it. Seems to piss lots of people off. =\
