  1. Chromium on Chrome 38 Released: New APIs and 159 Security Fixes · · Score: 1

    My Chromium is on version 40.0.2180.0 and so is my Chrome Canary at home.

    Why is everyone still praising an older browser?

  2. Bollocks on Complain About Comcast, Get Fired From Your Job · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I know it's cool to rip on cable companies, but this story smells fishy from where I'm sitting. I want to hear the other side of this story.

  3. Electric tape to the rescue on 2014 Nobel Prize In Physics Awarded To the Inventors of the Blue LED · · Score: 1

    I've lost count of times I had to cut tiny pieces of electrical tape to cover these damn useless LEDs, especially on gadets in my bedroom where I try to sleep.

  4. Whatever happened to... on Facebook Ready To Get Into Healthcare · · Score: 1

    the advice "never get medical or legal advice from the internets"?

  5. Re:Tech Companies have become warring fiefdoms on Will Apple Lose Siri's Core Tech To Samsung? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    There was never a "community feel." You were too young to understand how businesses work.

  6. Re: Missed opportunity on Microsoft Announces Windows 10 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    But coolest things have 3 X's.

  7. Nice, but... on Facebook To Start Testing Internet-Beaming Drones In 2015 · · Score: 1

    Will I be able to do non-Facebook stuff with it? (Google, Spotify, Steam, etc.)

  8. Re:Funny how this works ... on Netflix Rejects Canadian Regulator Jurisdiction Over Online Video · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Classic example of regulation only getting in the way of the free enterprise without offering any benefit to the customer.

  9. How many players online? on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Premieres On Linux, 2 Years After Windows · · Score: 1

    Considering it's multiplayer, it's important to consider how many people actually buy this, instead of just bragging about "Linux on the Desktop."

    Methinks Linux gaming is pretty niche at the moment, so any multiplayer game wouldn't benefit much from going Linux, unless there's cross-platform integration.

  10. Reviews follow sales to get more eyeballs on Phablet Reviews: Before and After the iPhone 6 · · Score: 3, Informative

    The original Galaxy Note got some pretty bad reviews, some even calling it a fad, due to its size. But then it sold like hot cakes, flying off the shelves.

    Then review sites learned ther lesson and gave the Note 2 a decent spin and gave it the top reviews it deserved. Now the LG G3 is getting all the 4.5-star reviews.

    It was always meant to be the other way around (i.e you read reviews to help you make an informed purchase), but sites need ad money and realized it's un-cool to hate on phablets.

    I replaced my old broken Note 2 with a tiny Nexus 5 and I'm suffering with the cramped 4.95" screen. Next time, I'm going medieval on screen size.

  11. Did the maestro consider that several ISPs still don't support these new fangled TLDs yet?

  12. None, seriously, none. on Ask Slashdot: What Smartwatch Apps Could You See Yourself Using? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Wake me up when a smartwatch is a standalone device that does everything my Nexus 5 does now with decent battery life and an affordable pricetag. We're making progress, sure, but nowhere near primetime.

  13. Regulation, regulation, regulation on Why Phone Stores Should Stockpile Replacements · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What's wrong with you people? Can't you take care of your own fucking problems without crying to dad..., er, I mean, government for help???

    Get something through your thick skulls: regulation is ALWAYS bad!! But you'll only get once some regulation affects you in a negative way.

  14. Re:Not worth it on New Windows Coming In Late September -- But Which One? · · Score: 1

    Right, because all PCs are black boxes that won't let you wipe the HD clean and install your own Windows.

    Oh wait.

  15. Re:MADMADMAD on Amazon To Buy Twitch For $970 Million · · Score: 2

    Correct. Bezos isn't a billionaire by chance. He definitely saw the writing on the wall before everyone else.

    And keep in mind that Amazon sells digital games for BOTH hardcore gamers (Steam customers) AND casuals (Android).

  16. Re:Left or Right? on Google's Driverless Cars Capable of Exceeding Speed Limit · · Score: 1

    You jest, but that's a prety big deal in places like Thailand, which's a left-handed, but borders right-handed countries. How will an autonomous vehicle handle crossing the border?

    Same fror French Guiana in South America.

  17. There Ain't No Such Thing As... on China Smartphone Maker Xiaomi Apologizes For Unauthorized Data Access · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A cheap high end smartphone. Apple couldn't do it, Nokia couldn't do it, Blackberry couldn't do it, Samsung couldn't do it, etc.

    If you're not paying with dollars, you're paying with something else...

  18. Re:All good until someone simulates biometrics... on DARPA Wants To Kill the Password · · Score: 2

    Pink eyes, eh? Don't go to work stoned, then..

  19. Re:No they cant. on Planes Can Be Hacked Via Inflight Wi-fi, Says Researcher · · Score: 1

    Yeah, remember that when you're flying with your family and someone is hacking the plane away while everyone else is asleep.

  20. Facemoooo on Animal Behaviour Specialists Map Out the Social Networks of Cows · · Score: 3, Funny

    I see an IPO on the horizon..

  21. Wow, amazing... on Siberian Discovery Suggests Almost All Dinosaurs Were Feathered · · Score: 0

    Pre-historic animals in Siberia mutated to grow feathers and withstand the blistering cold. That's called evolution. It still doesn't mean all dinossaurs were feathered. I bet in Australia they wore bathing suits.

  22. Pedos, drug lords, and terrorists take notice!! on Researcher Finds Hidden Data-Dumping Services In iOS · · Score: 5, Funny

    Everyone else, every law-abiding citizen, may move on, nothing to see here...

  23. Slashvertisement for a 1984 game? on The Video Game That Maps the Galaxy · · Score: 1

    As I started reading TFS, I really was expecting the announcement of a new space combat sim or 4X game, but... Elite? really?

  24. Re:Google+ has taken off? on Google Kills Orkut To Focus On YouTube, Blogger and Google+ · · Score: 1

    It's taken off in the sense that it gets shoven down your throat every time you sign up for a Google service.

    Of all the Google+ accounts (basically all Google accounts), how many actually log into that specific service?

  25. This news piece has been greatly exagerated on Facebook's Emotion Experiment: Too Far, Or Social Network Norm? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Seriously, come on. Do you PERSONALLY know ANYONE who was affected by this? Neither do I.

    TFS and TFA should include something like: This news brought to you by our scaremongering overlords, courtesy of privacy nutjobs all over the globe.

    This isn't legal documents we're talking about here, anyway. I'm also pretty sure this is covered under Facebook's EULA/TOS you didn't read.

    Life goes on. Don't like Facebook, don't use Facebook.
