    How DARE you misrepresent the American Businessman this way! This means WAR!

    Always good to see people who are intolerant of Christians.

    You know what really bugs me: people who can't understand the moral principal of being tolerant of everything but intolerance. What is so hard to understand about that?

    ... better get on this to make sure that this technology can't be used in the U.S. otherwise costs might go down. Similar to how we can't import drugs: medically, if it's cheap, it's dangerous.

    That's because they didn't know that it was asinine.

    Obama himself has threatened to arrest the wikileaker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM59bbp0Wsw

    I watched your video: Obama does NOT threaten to arrest the wikileaker in the video. If that isn't what you meant to imply you should make it more clear.

    Just to be clear, I am an Obama supporter, but I also disagree with some of the things that he does. But let's have a debate that is focused on the facts and reasoned opinion, not innuendo.

  6. Re:Motorola Has Crappy UI on Motorola Planning 2GHz Android Phone For Later This Year · · Score: 2, Funny

    It seems like Motorola has the crappiest and most confusing user interfaces ever. If they were loading pure Android, that'd be great. However, Moto customizes the OS with something called "MotoBlur."

    What's wrong with that? It does exactly as the name implies, it 'blurs' the clarity of the user interface.

    There's nothing you can do to make potato chips healthier; there's nothing healthy in potato chips to enhance.

    I rather think the point is to make chips NOT unhealthy: they are something you eat for the pleasure and that's it.

    It'd sorta be like making a cigarette that had no effect on your health and didn't stink. I'd smoke if they had that.

    If you'd read the summary, you'd understand that they're not starting to sell the distribution to customers, but that the "company" itself is up for sale! Didn't RTFA, but that's what I understand reading the summary.

    You're pulling my leg. I'm not going to fall for that.

    Of course it cures vertigo, Steve Jobs invented it! I'm just surprised that no one has come up with an app for walking on water or curing Cancer.

    It is way better than the farting apps though.

  19. Night Vision Systems for Seeing in Darkness on OLED Film Could Provide Cheap Night Vision For Cars · · Score: 5, Funny

    Night vision systems are already available in the higher-end luxury sedans from companies like Toyota, Volvo, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, but it's expensive technology that few drivers can afford, but at $4,000 for the system without a display, it's a pricey upgrade.

    Sometimes I will proofread my comments, and sometimes I will read them over again just to make sure there are no mistakes.

  20. Re:wagging the dog on Pope Rails Against the Internet and Transparency · · Score: 1
    I used to be a Bible thumping Christian. I've read the Bible (the whole thing which a lot of Christians don't seem to do). I've read the book of Proverbs quite a few times (I was trying to memorize it). So to say I need to read the Bible, well, I just don't think it has anything of value to say that isn't said in a more understandable way elsewhere.

    I'm an atheist now. You might be too if you would dare to question some of the things in the Bible. I used to be afraid to question - because I thought that I'd go to hell if I did - but man there sure is a lot in there that just doesn't make sense. I encourage you to read the whole thing, with an open mind, coming from a modern perspective. Don't be afraid to ask why God would do some of the things that it says he did in the Bible. You can try to twist it and invent explanations, but remember: the simplest explanation is usually the right one. The simple answer for me is that the Bible was written by many ignorant (in the sense of not having the knowledge of science that we do) men, over a period of a few thousand years.

    Of course seeing how the passage containing the words suffer not a witch to live and slaughter all the men, women, and children to get your holy land is in the old testament, it belongs to Jews as Moses was a Jew. The laws of Moses are not strictly honored by Christians nor are the stories verbatim outside of a historical context unless they are repeated in the new testament in which the christian covenant is bound to. Remember, Jesus was a Jew, Christians follow Jesus' covenant which is what makes them Christians.

    Let me guess: YOU are the one who gets to choose which bits to "honor."

    A fine bit of moral relativism which you so rail against.

    Note that right now Apple isn't proven to have done anything at all. This story was all over the media, and the San Mateo DA may have decided to press charges without consulting with Apple, or being prompted by Apple to do so.
