  1. Hockey? on Apple Adds New TV Shows To iTunes · · Score: 1

    Can I get hockey on the ipod tv thingy? Like, LIVE hockey.

  2. They work on Computer Rebates Not As Sinister As You Think · · Score: 1

    I have never had a problem with mail-in rebates. Sure, they take a long time to get a refund, but it's worth it. I have received many free and discounted items this way. Especially for the xmas season.

  3. Just read the article. on IE Flaw Utilizes Google Desktop Search · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And it's really quite interesting how he lays it all out. It seems IE's CSS @import (or more specifically the "addimport" jscript function) doesn't block access to outside domains. So essentially, I can import any stylesheet I want from the web. This also means I can import _anything_ that is mal-formed as a css rule. Javascript comes to mind with it's curly braces. with classic injection attacks, you can inject anything you want, including jscript. Scary stuff. I think I'll go look at everyone's hard drives now.

  4. New exploit techniques on IE Flaw Utilizes Google Desktop Search · · Score: 0

    This could potentially become a problem not only for IE and google, but ALL browsers and plug-ins ("extensions"). It seems that not only do companies need to keep their browser secure, but 3rd party developers need to make sure the interaction between the browser and the plug-in needs to be locked-down. Not an easy task, considering company A doesn't have company B's source code to check against. Of course, open-source would solve this problem ;)

  5. About time on Apple Enters Media Center Domain · · Score: 0

    This thing will be SLICK! Can't wait to make a few scripts for customization on this one. One thing that bugs me is the fact that you're stuck with their display. Apple is way too "monopoly"-like when it comes to their hardware. Maybe that will change once they go the x86 route, but I doubt it.

  6. Pariah or Pirana? on Going From Gator to Claria · · Score: 0

    Should have named their company "PIRANA". It would be more fitting.

  7. Re:Great job, Microsoft! on Vista To Be Updated Without Reboots · · Score: 0

    HEAR! HEAR!!!!

  8. *nix does this already on Vista To Be Updated Without Reboots · · Score: 0

    blah blah blah. you know.. it could have been said once... MAYBE a maximum of 5 times, but filling up a thread with the same damn comment does nothing but make you look like a fan boy. Not trying to be a dick here, but geez, get over yourselves and your love for *nix already. I like Linux too, but you don't see me ranting and raving like a lunatic every time someone mentions Windows.

  9. Re:again and again and again and aga......... on Vista To Be Updated Without Reboots · · Score: 0

    Yeah, I'm sick of it too. I have no time for fanboys.

  10. False Promises on Vista To Be Updated Without Reboots · · Score: 1

    Gee, XP was supposed to have this, wasn't it? Granted, there are fewer reboots with XP, but I distinctly remember XP was supposed to do away with the "reboot" altogether.

  11. Canada? on Doom 3 Reaches Gold Master, Due August 5th · · Score: 1

    What about Canada? I doubt the UK will get it before us!

  12. Is this new or old? on THX-1138: The (Digitally Enhanced) Director's Cut · · Score: 1

    is this the new or old version? It sure doesn't look like something from 1971. http://www.thx1138movie.com/trailers/1/thx480dd3a. mov

  13. Common Sense on Canadian High Court Says ISPs Don't Owe Royalties · · Score: 1

    Wow, common sense prevails in Canada yet again! Imagine that.

  14. Bloatware on OpenOffice.org Hits 1.1 · · Score: 1

    Can you say Bloatware? I installed Openoffice (previous ver.) on my 2k pro machine, and it was like my computer lost a nut. Moaning and gagging like it couldn't perform as well as it used to. I got rid of it right away. WAY too memory hungry or something.
