  1. And an anonymous coward on Tribute To Steve Jobs: a 21km Apple Logo in Tokyo · · Score: 0

    Is an anonymous coward.

  2. What about... on Amazon's Android Tablet Expected This Fall · · Score: 1

    Improving colored Kindles? Amazon seems to be doing fine with progressing with the E-ink in their Kindles, why on earth would they want to try to compete with Apple? They should try to complement Apple. This Android Tablet will be yet another HP Touchpad boondoggle. As everyone knows, Apple has the supply chain fixed, no one can under price them. It just seems odd to me, that a wholesaler discounting website seems to think they can compete at Apple's bread and butter. Unless of course that it is not meant to really compete, just distract.

  3. Real or not on Apple Puts $383 Million Handcuffs On CEO Tim Cook · · Score: 1

    The man is sick. The mind is willing, but the body is flesh and mortal.

  4. 1,000,000,000 shares? on Apple Puts $383 Million Handcuffs On CEO Tim Cook · · Score: 1

    That's some mighty fine booze money there my friend.

  5. Re:This is a sad day for the tech world on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    I agree with everything you said. Just goes to show that cancer can and does strike anyone.

  6. Re:This is a sad day for the tech world on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Steve Jobs is the embodiment of the American Dream, there are scant few individuals on this earth than can attest to the scale of success that he has achieved. Others can better write platitudes of the specifics than I; however it is always a sad day when a great leader is forced to step down, especially when they are at the height of their success. Such is the human condition I suppose.

  7. Re:This is a sad day for the tech world on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    I think iOS is set for the next 10 years. After that, the path is obscured by the sands of time. Well...unless Steve made some super secret long term development plan that is...

  8. Oh, and ONE MORE THING on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 2

    Not this time... ;(

  9. This is a sad day for the tech world on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Well on one hand, its better to do these things while everyone is still healthy and of sound mind. It's a sad day for sure, but on a positive note, Steve has set a high bar for Apple to maintain. Combine this news with the fact that Steve's official BIO has been pushed up to be released sooner than expected...it doesn't look good. Be well Steve!

  10. Freeze dried stawberry icecream rationing on Russian Supply Vehicle To ISS Burns · · Score: 1

    Just make sure to use the small straw for the roast beef dinner, it'll last longer that way.

  11. Pocket change on Russia Approves Siberia-Alaska Railway · · Score: 1

    The US spent more than a trillion bailing out the bankers....

  12. It would work on Russia Approves Siberia-Alaska Railway · · Score: 1

    If it was underground! "Mind explodes"

  13. What percentage on Using Tablets Becoming Popular Bathroom Activity · · Score: 1

    Wash their hands and disinfect their iPad...afterward?..

  14. I'm not surprized they are not progressing on No Higgs Just Yet · · Score: 1

    They need more energy credits. I know that Chairman Yang has repeatedly suggested that a series of three boreholes are completed near the capital, which would allow the commencement of discovering the secrets of pre-sentient algorithms. Once this happens, it's only a matter of building enough condensers to harvest the required food to grow a larger population of Thinkers. With a viable mind/machine interface in addition to the overwhelming benefits of telepathy in battling the the Hive drones, transcendence is assured. The discovery of the Higgs will be a happy coincidence, not to mention the realization of finally being able to live peaceably with the mindworms.

  15. In the NOT so distant future.... on Google Launches Identity Verification Badge Scheme · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We will 'purchase' an identity from a low jurisdiction country, like the Cayman Islands for a small price. The privacy package will come with artificial DNA linked to a new persona, a physical identity realistically rendered with the latest human image algorithms, and a voice-box culled from a combination of our favorite movie stars. Using such an Alias will be most beneficial to individual privacy, but won't help Google's bottom line. Increasingly, those who care about the integrity of their identity will have to be social by proxy!

  16. I don't know about you Mr. Anon Coward on New Mexico Spaceport Nearly Ready For Business · · Score: 1

    But I'm going to build a Taco Stand at the entrance for the crowds of onlookers when these things take off.

  17. All caps expresses my out-rage to all on DARPA To Sponsor R&D For Interstellar Travel · · Score: 1

    Great response. At least there are a few moguls out there who are trying to make a business out of space. Tourism is a noble business, if not as romantic as groundbreaking scientific exploration. I can't wait for the space hotels. Once big business figures out how to get the infrastructure in place, other advances should follow in quick succession. There will be a tipping point.

  18. WHERE ARE THE PRIVATE INVESTORS? on DARPA To Sponsor R&D For Interstellar Travel · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Where are the private investors? The billionaires with more money than they know what to do with? How come none of them are sponsoring anything related to space? Is it just too high risk? How much would $20 billion buy? Or even $10 billion, or $5 Billion?

  19. India is already buddy buddy with US on Pakistan Lets China View US Stealth Technology · · Score: 1

    They have the nuclear technology agreements and other cooperative agreements. It's all good. China, Iran, N. Korea are the REAL future threats -- and India just so happens to be stuck in the middle.

  20. So China has samples of the stealth skin? on Pakistan Lets China View US Stealth Technology · · Score: 1

    It's useless without the formula for the secret serum! It'll make a nice paperweight though...

  21. Are we to believe... on Flawed Evidence In EU Apple vs. Samsung Case · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That there were no physical tablets to compare in person? Was the judgement made solely based on 'pictures?...

  22. Only one problem on Google To Acquire Motorola Mobility For $12.5 Bill · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    No one plays Apple's game better than Apple. When iPhone 5 and iPhone Lite come out in a few months...game over man! game over!

  23. Physical buttons; how quaint on How Apple Is Beating Nintendo At Its Own Game · · Score: 1

    Apple already has patents on 3d touch technology, physical buttons are history. The future is touch, sensors that can detect where you are in a 3d space and adapt to your movements. With this technology perfected, any interaction can be replicated. It's the future, and Apple is leading the way.

  24. Obviously on Lightning Strike KOs Amazon, Microsoft EuroClouds · · Score: 1

    They should have had three generators!

  25. Good thing most people aren't like you on Comcast Launching $9.95 Low Income Broadband Plan · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Access to internet is as essential now as access to drinking water and electricity. Selfish bastards such as yourself can go back in your hole.
