  1. Re:Greenpeace is not credible on Apple: Greenpeace's Cloud Critique Driven By Bogus Numbers · · Score: 1

    They also did not seem to understand that Wind Turbines are great bird whackers and kill more birds per year than lit up skyscrappers in Toronto.

    What exactly is the correlation here. Are wind Turbines supposed the replace skyscrappers. Wouldnt it make more sense to compare the numbers of birds killed to the enviromental effects of othes ways to produce energy?

    They also did not understand that the fabrication of solar cells required extremely toxic chemicals such as Selinium and also required large tracts of land (thus cut down the trees or plow under farmland) to power entire cities.

    Yeah i guess those hippies had crazy ideas like putting solar panels on rooftops or put large amounts of them into desserts.

  5. Re:iOS now has more marketshare than Android on Exploits Emerge For Linux Privilege Escalation Flaw · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It's official: iOS now has more marketshare than Android. Reuters reports that Apple completely erased Android's marketshare lead, confirming earlier reports by both Nielsen and NPD. Over 150 Android smartphones couldn't outcompete the iPhone 4S. With 37 million iPhones sold last quarter, Apple is the largest smartphone marker, and their profits exceed Google’s entire revenue, $13 billion to $10.6 billion. Finally, with 15 million iPads sold last quarter, the tablet market is now larger than the entire desktop PC market.

    The clock is ticking, Fandroids.

    Funny that you mention the f word, after the expected RETURN of Apples marketshare lead has been comented as a "complete erase". Note: Apples marketshare accoring to the quoted market researchers is 44.9 versus googles 44.8. Wow. Beaten into the ground eh? And then.. 10.6 isnt Googles entire revenue. It s their profit. http://investor.google.com/financial/tables.html With all that said. Even if Apple had a marketshare of 70 or 80 percent or more on smartphones (NOT:all mobile phones): thats totally not a reason to buy their product. It would be a reason to worry bout market domination though. But besides that, for many people there are other more valid reason to decide for another phone.

  9. Why dont you just patch it? on Standards Make Rapid Software Releases Workable · · Score: 1

    The real problem is that organisations/the enterprise/etc.. are still THIS carefull with upgrades. My has alot of pc pools. All those still run XP.. which might be ok. All of them also run outdated versions of Firefox, Java, Flash and whatnot. (and not even like a few days outdated, it s worse. They dont even run the most current version of Fx 3.6. Why is this a problem? Because of the internet, the existance of security holes and the fact that exploting these has another dimension than 10 years before. It s organized crime these days and tons of scriptkiddies instead of just few hundred. Yes that s still original hackers around.. but those never were a real risk to begin with. So as long as you re letting a pc in your organizations network connect to the internet, having security software running on the client and the gateways just is not enough. While not being enough aswell, it s also neccesary to have all known security holes patched (if there is a patch available). PERIOD. The paradigm you may not risk to have incompatibilites and instabilities and patch more conservative might have been the right conclusion at the end of the 90s or at the beginning of the millenium. But it s different these days.Even more if your organisation is a corporation which needs to have buisness secrets protected.

    [i]"A follow-up experiment with the eye-tracking equipment showed that we only see one clear image when reading because our brain fuses the different images from our eyes together."[/i] Wait... they neeeded a follow up experiment to discover something that is so well known that it s rather common knowledge? I mean.. the other stuff isnt actually news either but this... and how does eye-trracking lead to a RESULT about what the brain does. I mean... an eye tracking experiment leading to a thesis.. or supporting a thesis about bain function... that sounds logic to me. To sum this up.. this slashdot article is badly written in multiple aspects.

  15. So what on Walmart Rejects Firefox and Safari · · Score: 2, Informative

    Lauch.com still doesnt support Firefox for their audio streams and goes the more than doubtful way of attempting to install a flavor of the Mozilla ActiveX Plugin (bases on this one, just with the WMP ActiveX Plugin and their page in the whitelist) This gets more funny when u go to a european MTV side and start thier "Overdrive" plattform, which will attempt exactly the same. I guess this wide use(without contributing to the code at all) is the very reason why there isn't any ActiveX Plugin for Firefox 2.0 yet on the original page.. But going back it s just idiotic to try to get the user to install it at all.. it s not stable enough.. it s more a proove of concept than mission critical code.. and it s more to bypass the problem of sites that are coded in an IE only way... There is a WMP plugin for Mozilla Browsers!!! You just have to script it properly (with JS that is) it s not rocket science. Why am i telling this all? My point is: if Yahoo and MTV can't do this, why should out of all Walmart be able to? (okay it seems like MTV_com is better.. i just cant open any video cause it seems to check the IP and then says they cant show me that in my country... IP block cause of IP rights.. isnt it ironic? i know, proxy is the solution) On a sidenote AOL doesnt seem to be any better.. right it s AOL... hey guys... if your new strategy really shall work you better.. ah hell we have told you a million times...
