  1. I'm torned on New Malware Overwrites Software Updaters · · Score: 5, Funny

    On the one hand, it's malware, on the other hand it replaces software from Adobe.

  9. Re:Google's Real Motives on Google Wants To Be Your Electricity Meter · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but why does Google need so much electricity in the first place? Enough to want every American citizen to lower their electric usage?

    I'll tell you why: Google are building a freakin' giant laser, that's why! They plan on attacking Planet Q42 with it!

  10. Re:Not really a comeback on Commodore 64 Primed For a Comeback In June · · Score: 1

    I kind of wish someone would create a mythical NextGen C64. Kind of what Commodore might have made if they had made a better C128.

  13. Re:Nothing "2.0" on Does This Headline Know You're Reading It? · · Score: 1

    Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of Web tech in this country. The Web 1.0 was the Web to own. Then the other guy came out with a Web 2.0. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Web 3.0. That's three point zero with parallel synergetic AJAX. For multimedia. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened—the bastards went to Web 4.0. Now we're standing around with our keyboards in our hands, selling Web 3.0 with AJAX. Multimedia or not, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to Web 5.0.

    Sure, we could go to Web 4.0 next, like the competition. That seems like the logical thing to do. After all, three worked out pretty well, and four is the next number after three. So let's play it safe. Let's make a heavier javascript library and call it the ZQuery. Why innovate when we can follow? Oh, I know why: Because we're a business, that's why!

    You think it's crazy? It is crazy. But I don't give a shit. From now on, we're the ones who have the edge in the Web versioning game.

    What part of this don't you understand? If Web 2.0 is good, and Web 3.0 is better, obviously Web 5.0 would make us the best fucking Web that ever existed. Comprende? We didn't claw our way to the top of the Web game by clinging to the Web 2.0 industry standard. We got here by taking chances. Well, Web 5.0 is the biggest chance of all.

  14. Re:Serious invasion of privacy on Does This Headline Know You're Reading It? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And for an added bonus, the software can tell you if you're a breasts man or a legs man.

  19. Can someone explain this on Google Hands Out Web Security Scanner · · Score: 1
