  1. Re:What about migrating phones? on Google Announces Android Device Manager For Later This Month · · Score: 2

    It doesn't, sadly. It just reinstalls all your apps you've purchased. At Google I/O this year they did however unveil a way to devs to store your saved games in a secure section of google drive including features like conflict resolution (merging saves from 2 different devices). It's up to the devs to actually make use of these features however.

  2. Re:More bloat... on Firefox 3.2 Plans Include Natural Language, Themes · · Score: 1

    Not to let Firefox off the hook, but the link in that bug loads a tag list, which the page writer geniusly decided to non-breaking space the entire thing. It's essentially treating almost 1 Mbyte of text as a single word 90,000 letters long (850,000 including font sizing tags). I replaced one of the non-breaking spaces with a normal space and the page loads instantly and type ahead search works perfect.

    You can't necessarily blame Firefox every time a web designer makes a bad choice.

  3. Re:DVD Player? on Unofficial Homebrew Channel For the Wii · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's not that Nintendo is worried about the platform being secure, it's that every console sold would incur a lisencing fee for DVD's Copy Protection (CSS), therefore increasing the cost of each Wii for Nintendo, and directly then for the consumer. Given this decision was made long before the Wii's success was known.

    There are also people who mention the Wii's DVD drive is not meant for continious access, and that DVD playing would cause the drives to wear out faster. Why ruin a $300 system instead of a $30 DVD player?

  4. Re:You forgot some big ones on the list... on Smash Bros. Brawl Music, Composers Detailed · · Score: 1

    Dug these up off a web page I must have made almost 10 years ago, complete with horrendous background images and music. Lets see if I can link these in properly.
