  1. Reponse to the article... on The Case Against Web Apps · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Dvorak: wrong, again. on Apple to 'Switch' to Windows? · · Score: 1

    I suspect that his tactic (perhaps more than most because his output is so volumnous) is to make any hairbrained predication that will get attention (360 posts in this thread and counting). There is only upside for him: nobody counts the number of times he's wrong, they are far too numerous. And on the occasion he is right (a la Mac Intel), he can crow about it.

  3. Canon LiDE 500F on Searching for a Decent Scanner? · · Score: 2, Informative
    Got a LiDE 500F about two months ago. I've been very happy with it:
    • Very small and light; Can stand inclined, taking up very little desk space;
    • Requires no separate power supply (gets power from USB);
    • Has configurable "hard" buttons";
    • Driver and tools software are decent, has multi-photo and auto-cropping;
    • Works very nicely w/ OSX;
    • Resolution and image quality seem very good;
  4. Not quite ready...? on A Camaro That Leaves A Wake · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Odd that none of the videos on the site show transitions. The shot of the car driving into the water fades into a full speed shot, and the video of the car driving out never shows it with panels down...

  5. Re:gmail beta testing on Gmail Addresses For Sale · · Score: 1

    Hmm...I've found it very fast (on IE, Mozilla, Firefox). I also love the interface. I've posted a review here. On the negative side, spam filtering still has a way to go. I get about 50% of spams (that get past spam assassin on my primary mail server, which redirects them to gmail).

  6. Re:Doesn't a FireFox kinda look like a... on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 1

    The toolbar icon has an unfortunate resemblence to a fetus...

  7. Re:I suppose reading the article is too much. on Photoshop Fails At Counterfeit Prevention · · Score: 1

    Whether they developed it or not, it took significant time and resources for them to integrate the product. Clearly they've been trying to integrate it for some time now, and haven't because their testing indicated performance problems. That type of testing and integration is costly.

  8. Re:Can you say, "Pump and Dump"? on SCO Calls GPL Unenforceable, Void · · Score: 1

    Fortunately, there is a better chance that these former high politicos have IBM stock....I doubt their portfolio managers would go far recommending SCO.
