  1. Slashdot on Apple website on Jobs Previews Displays, Tiger at WWDC · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Looks like /. got a little shout-out from Apple.
    The Apple website page

  2. Re:...but why Starbucks? on Newsflash: Gourmet Coffees Have Lots Of Caffeine · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You're right. It's wrong for a company to put together a business model, work hard over the years, be competitive, and ultimately succeed. It's fine to support a company, so long as they're not greatly succesful and have locations in more than one county.

  3. Coffee is a great business on Newsflash: Gourmet Coffees Have Lots Of Caffeine · · Score: 2, Funny

    Coffee - a great tasting addictive drug, that's legal and trendy to boot!!! What a great busine$$ to be in. Guranteed repeat customers. If there weren't so many coffee joints already (I live in WA) that's the first business I'd start.

  4. California Girls Die?!?!?! on California Grills Diebold Over E-Voting Foul-Ups · · Score: 1

    I read that title a bit too quick. Glad I was wrong.

  5. Nasty Orange Design on Amazon's Search Engine Goes Live · · Score: 1

    What are they thinking making every graphic and headline a shade of the same pukey orange color? Just beacuse they have an orange arrow as part of their logo doesn't require every freakin' thing to be orange!

    I won't use A9.com just because I'd become nauseated looking at it.

  6. People in Hawaii are collecting spam on Celebrating Spam's Ten-Year Anniversary · · Score: 2, Funny
    Mmmm... nothing tastes better than Hawaii collectors edition Spam

    I know, I know. Offtopic. Lighten up though, it's SPAM!!

  7. Flybar on The Toy Fair's Top 10 Strangest Products · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've got to say, that Flybar teaser photo is pretty effective

  8. Please explain this... on Explaining the Mars Photo Colorization · · Score: 1

    Forget Mars.
    Explain to me how Uranus got to be that color!

    can't resist... must post Uranus joke

  9. We had a saying back in school too... on Mailing Disks is Faster than Uploading Data · · Score: 5, Funny
    We had a saying back in school too --

    "If you're driving a station wagon around you ain't doin' too well with the ladies"

  10. Dog Whistle on Repel Bugs With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think some smart ass cell phone employee should have all their company's cell phones emit the same frequency as a dog whistle. Just think what hell would break loose...

  11. Re:One reason why we need to absolve money on "Quick 'n Dirty" vs. "Correct and Proper"? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What you describe is not a social problem - it is a human nature problem.

  12. Additional News Story on 'Extraordinary' Soundtrack Will Be Apple-Exclusive · · Score: 1
    I am sooooo uncool! I had to do a search to find out what movie this was. Here's a bit more about the movie and the soundtrack composer:

    League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' soundtrack found only online

    July 5, 2003

    You won't find the soundtrack to the upcoming film ''The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'' in any U.S. store.

    The music will be an online-only release, available exclusively at Apple's iTunes Music Store. It will not be issued on any physical medium or associated with any label.

    The soundtrack will include portions of the score, composed by Trevor Jones ("The Last of the Mohicans'') and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. Also featured on the soundtrack will be two new, previously unreleased tracks by African vocal combo Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

    ''The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'' stars Sean Connery and Richard Roxburgh in a tale of a group of superheroes joining forces to fight an evil industrial baron who has developed world-threatening weapons.

  13. I'm giggling... tee hee hee. on X-Box Hackers Trying to Blackmail Microsoft? · · Score: 1
    I don't know what it is exactly, but this just strikes me as hilarious.

    Yes, I understand the legal ramifications, but in light of all the serious issues in the world (terrorism, SARS, famine, etc.) a bunch of nerds threatening to fiddle with a box that runs video games makes me giggle. Doesn't make it right of course, but it's still humorous.

    Maybe when this little mystery group is done playing with the Xbox they'll do something better with their talents that is actually worthwhile.

  14. The author of this link... on Comics On The Net - A Business Primer · · Score: 1
    The author of this link has met some very famous people:

    Todd once appeared on MTV in a futile attempt to explain computers to Pauly Shore.

    WOW!!! He actually met the weasel!!

  15. Re:The fastest computer in the world is worthless. on Apple Hardware VP Defends Benchmarks · · Score: 1
    I think you're in the wrong thread.

    You must have wanted the "I'm a loser and have nothing really intelligent to say" thread.

    Hope this helps.

  16. G4 story icon on Apple Hardware VP Defends Benchmarks · · Score: 5, Funny
    /. had better get with it! We're talking about G5s now and the G4 chip icon is still up in the story post.

    The G4 is so last month.

  17. New keyboard and mouse?? on New G5 Power Macs "Fastest Desktop In The World" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Small details in light of the mighty new G5... but I haven't seen any new accompanying mouse or keyboard with the new G5. Anyone else??

  18. Re:It's the economy stupid! on The Downward Spiral of Music Retailing · · Score: 1
    Not insightful enough.

    Sure, during times of personal or national financial downturns people reduce the amount of money spent on entertainment, but the real factor is the amount of options people have now compared to just a few years ago.

    I don't see music stores ever returning to the sales levels they held before because they aren't the only game in town anymore. Plus it's insulting to be charged $19 for a CD at a music store when you can dowload (legally or illegally depending who you are) just the tracks you want.
