  1. There can be only 2 on Nokia Selling Its Headquarters To Raise Funds · · Score: 1

    There are only two phone companies: Samsung and Apple. All others will disappear soon.

  2. Catepillar already knows this on In the World of Big Stuff, the US Still Rules · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I see the typical idiot USA bashing going on here but anyone who needs to use construction or mining equipment world wide already knows this. Likewise anyone dealing with oil and gas discovery-recovery and industrial farm equipment. But slashdot faux Marxists are free to buy those Angolan built passenger airplanes.

  3. Re:Industrial espionage on The Trouble With Bringing Your Business Laptop To China · · Score: 1

    No not really since the French Secret Service openly and publicly states as part of its charter than one of its roles specifically IS corporate espionage inside and outside of France.

  4. Working with the Belarus secret service on Julian Assange: "Online Totalitarianism Is Near, Entire Nations Are Intercepted" · · Score: 0

    Wikileaks openly works with the Belarus secret service to round up dissidents. Belarus is Europes last dictatorship and Wikileaks is a neo Stalinist front.

  5. Lemme Guess, Only Win8 will be certified. on Microsoft Security Essentials Loses AV-Test Certificate · · Score: 1

    Oh no that could never be, could it?

  6. Get real for a second on British Skylon Engine Passes Its Tests · · Score: 1

    The FAA won't certify airplane engines to run on unleaded fuel because of the potential hesitation and reliability problems. They're not going to certify this. Oh maybe in a hundred years.

  7. So no more fixes and SP's? on Windows Blue: Microsoft's Plan To Release a New Version of Windows Every Year · · Score: 1

    Great just do a new non-upgradable install each year.

  8. Your rage will never be slaked on BP and Three Executives Facing Criminal Charges Over Oil Spill · · Score: 1

    So just admit that. Kill all the executives? Fine them a petatrillion dollars? Outlaw all oil? Pay everyone who lives on the Gulf a billion dollars a head? Arrest charge and imprison everyone on the planet who can spell "BP"?

    Feel free.

  9. Secret? We've known this for 35 years on Silicon Valley's Dirty Little Secret: Age Bias · · Score: 5, Funny

    What secret? IT is and always been age biased. The perfect IT employee is a 24 year old with 15 years experience in a 2 year old technology.

  10. Holy Shit kill Java script and burn the blueprints on Firefox 18 Beta Out With IonMonkey JavaScript Engine · · Score: 1

    For fuck's sake - 5 layers deep of scripts? Six? More? No Script has become nearly useless when I have to turn on 5 or 6 LAYERS of scripts and 45 different scripts just to format a page. And on a good day they slow everything down to level of running it on a 486DX100 machine circa 1996.

  11. You misunderestimate the consumer on Hello, I'm a Mac. And I'm a $248 Win8 PC. · · Score: 1, Insightful

    95% or more really only want to connect to facebook, yelp, twitter, instagram, etc. email as a stand alone application is dead. Web browsing is dead. In so far as consumers actually need to find something, all they want is the first hit they see when they type "Gimme hurrp durrp whars Twilight playing?" in the Bing search field. And EVEN THAT is going away because MS will put what it thinks you should know or want or need on a crawl that you can stab at with your sticky fat finger.

    I am hoping Windows 9 does away with words entirely and uses icons like the cash registers at McDonalds. You want pizza, stab the pizza button. That's all people want anyway. Larnin's for them funny Asian people, bubba.

  12. Is this the thread on Legislators Call On Twitter To Ban Hamas · · Score: 0

    Where all the freshly scrubbed white liberal middle class college kids who are totally in favor of peace love free weed Marxism and gay marriage call for a new holocaust against the Jews in the name of peace and tolerance?

    Awesome.

  13. They'll be doing PIXAR storyboards next on Disney Research Robot Can Juggle, Play Catch · · Score: 1

    Although the animators will always be Korean slaves. Thankfully they can't take those jobs away from us meat.

  14. Really? REALLY? on THQ Clarifies Claims of "Horrible, Slow" Wii U CPU · · Score: 1

    We are so fucking beholden to console vendors that we can't even call them on their bullshit anymore?

  15. Don't have massive distros in the first place on Companies Getting Rid of Reply-all · · Score: 1

    There is nothing short of the motherfucking Declaration of Indefuckingpendence that requires an epistle from Sub Commander D. B. "Brotard" Stalin, SVP of Pointless Bullshit to be sent out to all 50,129 drones in the first place, opening the door to using Reply-All.

    Seriously, corporate email on mass-distro is spam, trash it.

  16. If you're a Sprint customer, it doesn't matter on Nexus 4 Includes Support For LTE · · Score: 5, Funny

    Because maybe when Sprint gets it's 12th LTE tower up and running everyone else will be doing quantum teleportation.

  17. 3rd place in a two horse race on BlackBerry 10 Preview Looks Positive · · Score: 2

    BB isn't in the top 5 in unit sales anymore, or if it is, it's barely hanging on to 5 place. And HTC is 3rd place with barely 4.2% and it's almost entirely piggybacking on Android.

    There are two phone companies now: Samsung + Android, and Apple iOS. And everyone else is or will soon be irrelevant.

    Sony, Panasonic, Sanyo, Nokia, Motorola, Blackberry, ZTE (in the US at any rate) are all going to the Le Brea Tarpits.

    And if MS doesn't pull the plug on Win 8 Phone in 20 months it will be because Balmer has lost what's left of his mind.

  18. easier to track people for sure on The Internet Has Transformed Modern Divorce · · Score: 1

    easier to ignore their lies and find the actual truth.

  19. We need to brand people with logos on Ad Blocking – a Coming Legal Battleground? · · Score: 1

    Actual hot metal branding of corporate logos. I see nothing wrong with that business model.

  20. Re:Nullified on Stratfor Hacker Could Be Sentenced to Life, Says Judge · · Score: 1

    LA's Nightstalker serial killed languished for 3 years before trial. He should have been released I guess.

    You DO realize that w/o trial and w/o charge are two different things, yes?

  21. Who's Tim Cook suing over this? on 1976 Polaroids of an Apple-1 Resurface · · Score: 1

    Did they invent solder? Keyboards? Carbon?

  22. No of course not on Could Testing Block Psychopaths From Senior Management? · · Score: 2

    Because the people giving and scoring the tests are in Corporate HR and they are hands down the worst of the bunch.

  23. Behead all those who insult the Prophet on Saudi Arabia Implements Electronic Tracking System For Women · · Score: 1

    Is now an official policy statement for western industrialized nations too.

  24. Let's just call it oligopoly and be done with it on US Judge Orders Apple To Share HTC Deal Details With Samsung · · Score: 1

    Or just merge them all into a single company.

  25. Because Fake Viagra? on Senate Bill Rewrite Lets Feds Read Your E-mail Without Warrants · · Score: 1

    That's 97% of my email. Feds wanna read that be my fucking guest.
