  1. Well here they are: on New Games Journalism: Ten Unmissable Articles · · Score: 4, Informative
  2. Corrected Link List on A Concise Guide to the Major Internet Bodies · · Score: 0, Redundant
  3. Neat List of Relevant Links on A Concise Guide to the Major Internet Bodies · · Score: 3, Informative
  4. An idea... on TiVo vs Microsoft vs HDTV Cable · · Score: 4, Informative

    Myth TV anyone?

  5. Wait a minute... on Having Fun With PowerBook Motion Sensors · · Score: 1
    "Another utility creates windows that rotate in opposite directions to the physical machine to appear always straight."

    Wait just one minute...Wouldn't that just look like regular 2-D windows on a flat monitor?!

  6. Re:Here we go... on New Vulnerabilities Discovered in Firefox 1.0 · · Score: 5, Insightful
    "How long before Microsoft jumps all over this, and uses it as yet another FUD related reason not to use Open Source software..."

    Try this one: How long does it take for Linux people to jump all over Windows vulnerabilities that have already been patched as a reason not to use Microsoft products?

  7. Re:Stealing MP3's? on MP3 Download Prices to Rise? · · Score: 1

    Right exactly....The bank still has your records on file so if you go in they can pull up all your information right there(it's not missing). It's the very same way with .MP3s.

  8. More Information on GUI Pioneer Jef Raskin Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    Here is the most recent interviews before he died. He is a very creative guy, that's for sure.

  9. Secure Hash Algorithm 1 on PGP Moving To Stronger SHA Algorithms · · Score: 1
  10. How it works. on Smart Holograms Used as Biosensors · · Score: 1

    "The image is stored in a thin polymer film that is chemically sensitised to react with a specific substance in, for example, a bioassay or a sample of body fluid. During the test, the target substance reacts with the polymer leading to an alteration in the image displayed by the hologram. The test result is a change in the optical: brightness, image, wavelength or position." -SmartHolograms

    So in other words this new tech could have big implications in the development of diagnostic and medical devices.

  11. US Secure Hash Algorithm 1 on SHA-1 Broken · · Score: 4, Informative
  12. Keyboard? on Motorola Announces E1060 Phone With iTunes Support · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No QWERTY? Won't that limit all that instant messaging and e-mailing you could do with it, and before someone tells me about the size being a consideration you should check out my phone: the Motorola A630. Small does not mean no keyboard.

  13. What?! on Digital Life and Evolution · · Score: 1

    First Cisco and now this?

  14. More Information on Simulation Explains Supermassive Black Holes · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here are tons of the most recent research papers on black holes. Definitely an good read for anyone with an interest in physics.

  15. Plural forms? on Does the Octopus Hold the Key To Robot Design? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Lesson on the correct plural version of Octopus. Very interesting read.

  16. Re:Not needed. on Yahoo! Releases Firefox version of Toolbar · · Score: 1

    Yahoo and gmail notification plugins for Firefox. So what functionality does the Yahoo toolbar add again?

  17. Re:Is it just me or? on Google Donating Bandwidth and Servers to Wikipedia · · Score: 2

    "Why do they allow anyone to edit that content? I could click edit and save changes to that page."

    Umm I believe that is the point. Anyone can edit the articles so it is basically open source encyclopedia style. It has the strengths and weaknesses as any other CVS style set up.

  18. Quartz anyone? on KDE 3.4 Beta 2 ('Keinstein') Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My only question is when is it going to have the ability to offload some of its graphical heavy lifting to the GPU so we can get a good speed increase. That is one area OSX really does very strongly in, that KDE is extremely weak.

  19. Mac Version on Doukutsu Monogatari Translated into English · · Score: 1

    Here is the link to the Mac version of the game.

  20. Review Link on Finding a Reliable Laser Printer? · · Score: 1

    Here is a pretty decent review of most of the mainstream color laser printers.

  21. SoundJam on Apple's Focus is Still Software · · Score: 2, Informative

    I heard once that iTunes is actually built on top of SoundJam MP code.

    SoundJam MP converts music quickly into high quality MP3s from CD, AIFF, QuickTime(TM), and WAV formats, and allows you to play MP3 streams over the internet. SoundJam MP takes full advantage of the 10:1 compression of the MP3 format allowing you to compress your music collection to a fraction of its size, while maintaining near CD quality. You can quickly and easily create customizable play-lists, and organize your music by artist, track, song, and music style. It also includes a 10 band graphic equalizer that allows you to control the quality and tone of your music manually or by using preset music styles: Jazz, Rock, Classical and more. Includes a selection skins to change the look and plug-ins for cool visual effects.

    # Play music streams over the Internet

    # Play MP2, MP3, AIFF, Q-Design AIFF, QuickTime, WAV, Sound Designer, MOD and 'snd' music files.

    # Manage your playlists

    # Use CDDB lookup

    # Use CDDB submission

    # ID3 Tag support

    # Apple Script support

  22. Exeem! on BitTorrent Community After SuprNova Shutdown · · Score: 1, Redundant
    Exeem is the declared heir to the SuprNova throne. But yeah there are new Bittorent trackers opening up daily.

    Conclusion: BT is not going anywhere anytime soon.

  23. From the article: on Why Does Windows Still Suck? · · Score: 1

    "By the way, yes, I own a tiny handful of Apple stock."

    I'm glad to see he's not in this for personal gain... But on a more serious note there are plenty of reasons not to switch to Mac: PC games being one of the biggest reasons I can think of.
  24. Ummm.... on State of the Union · · Score: 1

    "Too much of a boon for the private sector; rolling dice with your money."

    Rolling the dice with our money? Tell me what is worse: putting money into a low-risk investment and getting a small return or giving the money to the government just to have them spend it immediately and never seeing your money again? That's what I thought.
  25. More Information on Dark Matter Discovered · · Score: 3, Informative
    Here is a link to some of the more recent papers written on dark matter kinematics.

    They are extremely interesting for anyone fascinated with physics.
