  1. I thought G-town was a social network on Google Preparing To Launch G-Town · · Score: 1

    that Google was launching to counter Facebook. Guess I was wrong. People don't live on a virtual network when they could live in a real one.

  2. Chinese on Which Language To Learn? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You should learn Chinese.

  3. Firefox 4 beta 7 uses twice memory as 3.6.12 on Firefox 4 Regains Speed Mojo With No. 2 Placing · · Score: 1

    Plus the Aros interface of the menu/tab bars really makes the fonts unreadable

  4. of course it could on Can Windows, OS X and Fedora All Work Together? · · Score: 1

    just use fingers to touch OS X and feet to run Windows, while voice-controlling Linux.

  5. Re:Article dated 21st Dec 2005? on US Army Develops Tooth Cleaning Gum · · Score: 1

    I guess the /. submission backlog is really as bad as the Immigration and Neutralization services

  6. The Chinese counterpart on Google Asks Users To Complain Against Facebook · · Score: 1

    QQ-360 Battle Escalates into War.

    Always fun to watch.

  7. That's better than convincing him he was in dream on Man Loses Millions In Bizarre Virus-Protection Scam · · Score: 0, Redundant

    and he had to kill himself to wake up

  8. Google's China strategy has always been a mess on Chinese Ad Resellers On Anti-Google Hunger Strike · · Score: 2, Insightful

    and I don't think Larry and Sergey will give to damn to those Chinese resellers.

  9. Re:Pay as you 'go' plan on Pee On Your Phone STD Test · · Score: 3, Funny

    Pee as you 'go' plan

    There, fixed for ya.

  10. Re:We'll call it Yaol (pronounced yowl) on AOL, Yahoo Mulling Merger · · Score: 1

    Or Aohoo.

  11. I see this as a good thing on TSA Bans Toner and Ink Cartridges On Planes · · Score: 1

    We need new technology that could take a person anywhere in the world without having to spend 2 hours in the airport waiting to get onboard.

    With the help of TSA and terrorists, this could well be achieved in our current generation, because airflight will soon be too inconvenient, if not cost prohibitive, to be economically viable.

    We need to step ahead of the terrorists and eliminate the threat model entirely.

  12. They should ban humans on TSA Bans Toner and Ink Cartridges On Planes · · Score: 1

    Only synthetics should be allowed on flight. That's easier to scan anyway and will drive the cost down.

    Oops, I think I played too much Mass Effect.

  13. Why not install Flashblock by default on Flash Can Rob 2 Hours From MacBook Air's Battery Life · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Block all flashes by default but allow user to enable one specifically. Problem solved.

  14. Apple will steal Cisco's brand again on Cisco Social Software Lets You "Stalk" Customers · · Score: 1

    Just like iPhone, Apple will start rolling out iStalk soon.

    I heard Apple has been testing it internally for a while. Those email replies from Steve Jobs' account really all came from a beta version of iStalk, not Jobs himself.

  15. Re:Thanks for the warning. on Microsoft Outlines Windows Phone 7 Kill Switch · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Now I have no need to even consider getting one.

    I doubt you would get one anyways.

  16. I see a new Hitler video in works.. on iPhone Alarm Bug Leads To Mass European Sleep-in · · Score: 1

    Commander: The iPhone 4 failed to wake European users here, here and here.
    Hitler: I am sure Steve Jobs will fix this promptly.
    Commander: ...Sir, the same bug existed in 3GS.
    Hitler: ...those who use Android phones and were waken up on time please leave the room.

  17. Re:I'm sure that... on FTC Ends Probe of Google StreetView Privacy Breach · · Score: 1

    The fuck is that the world is not ideal. There are good guys, bad guys, corporations, governments, investors and shareholders. Google, as a for-profit corporation, has been acting with good intentions, and in fact doing as well as a corporation could possibly do. Punishing someone without legal basis is not the way to make the world better, especially after he himself reported the incidence to the authorities and the public instead of covering it up.

    If you truly believe what Google did deserved punishment, lobby for a law that prohibits collecting data in unsecured networks that broadcast themselves onto the public space. But this time, leave Google alone.

  18. Re:Simple Solution on Real Reason Why the White iPhone 4 Is Delayed · · Score: 1

    The funniest comment for the day

  19. White noise on Real Reason Why the White iPhone 4 Is Delayed · · Score: 3, Funny

    The press don't get it, do they? The reason is that so many people are already complaining about iPhone 4's signal issue, that the white version is only going to make it worse by introducing white noise.

  20. I find this not hard to understand on Xbox 360 Jailbreaker May Need Real Jailbreak · · Score: 1

    Phones have other uses than playing games (playing games is rather a minor functionality), but the only real usage of jailbreaking game console is, you guessed it, playing pirated games.

    Go figure.

  21. Lesson learned from a previous incident on Facebook Ads Could 'Out' Gay Users · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I sometimes hang out on a web forum, and they have a special forum where you could post anonymously - it's not really anonymous, as you still need to login and post, but the postings do not show your user id or IP addresses, so it appears totally anonymous, except to the web admins. So people post a lot of random crazy stuff there which would embarrass themselves if it had not been anonymous.

    Then one day the forum upgraded their software, and due to a bug, all posts inside that anonymous forum suddenly showed all user IDs - including the old ones. That quickly turned into a sh*tstorm as people ran around screaming in panic with their underwear.

    The lesson: do not post anything if you don't want others to find out it's you.

  22. Re:Things people do... on Vint Cerf Keeps Blaming Himself For IPv4 Limit · · Score: 1

    My thought exactly.

    It's like "Sue me, and make me famous, again!".

  23. Obligatory Jobs comment on Meg Whitman Campaign Shows How Not To Use Twitter · · Score: 1

    You are tweeting it wrong!

  24. Re:Shelf Life on The Case For Apple Buying Facebook · · Score: 1

    More accurately, Jobs doesn't believe in hypes. Even those he created himself.
