    Monster Cable TOSLink?

  2. Re:Thicker and heavier than the iPad 2 on Apple Unveils New iPad · · Score: 1

    0.07 pounds = 31.7514659 grams

    I think most people won't notice a difference of 32 grams on a 652 grams device, that's only 5%.

  3. Re:First with 4G on Apple Unveils New iPad · · Score: 1

    Awaiting the usual "fuck everything, we're going to 5G" comment.

    All reports? Really? Take a look at the 9th bullet at that screenshot:

  5. Re:Upgraded Apple TV announced on Apple Unveils New iPad · · Score: 1

    They also announced a software update for the 2nd-generation Apple TV. It's supposed to be available today.

  6. Re:Upgraded Apple TV announced on Apple Unveils New iPad · · Score: 1

    The older Apple TV supported 720p, not even sure if it supported 1080i. I wish we dropped all that interlaced bullshit when we moved to digital, to be honest.

  7. Re:Of course on US Asserts Super-Jurisdiction Over Dot-Com, Dot-Net, and Dot-Org Domains · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, after this rule changed, I know that a number of cities in California registered .ca domains. They appear to have since switched to using .ca.us; I'm not sure why.

    I'm guessing they thought .ca meant California.

    Maybe he's nuts?

  9. Re:"25% off whole grain cereal" on Kinect Grocery Cart Follows Shoppers Around the Store · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We need a new "That meme is not funny anymore" moderation choice.

  10. Re:This is a pointless invention. on Kinect Grocery Cart Follows Shoppers Around the Store · · Score: 1

    What we need is a huge physical network... Tubes, perhaps? Yes, a series of tubes would be perfect.

  11. Re:Yeah, more stuff we don't need! on Kinect Grocery Cart Follows Shoppers Around the Store · · Score: 1

    I'd be interested in the shopping assistant to warn me about allergies and help me find items around the store. The automated, follow-me-around part of the idea, not so much.

    Then again, if someone made a mistake in entering the allergies information about the products, I won't trust the system anyway. Just because there's no "milk or cheese" doesn't mean it's dairy-free. There's lactose in salt and vinegar chips, as a random example.

  12. Re:Aardvark the extension on Google's Rules of Acquisition · · Score: 1

    What made me switch to Google was because their search page wasn't loaded with news, weather, stock prices and banners.

  13. Re:You used to be cool, Canada on Canadian Music Industry Wants Subscriber Disclosure Without Court Oversight · · Score: 1

    1) Shorten copyright to 5 years (to be able to "concede" to 10 years).
    2) Remove levy on all blank media AND all devices (portable or not)
    3) (same as you wrote)

  14. Re:That's all we need ... on PHP 5.4 Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    No idea, but a sheet of Bounce would probably solve that problem.

    Webcrawler forever!

  16. Re:Why is there throttling in the first place? on After Complaints, AT&T Solidifies, Increases Data Limit · · Score: 1

    What would you do if I sold "unlimited monthly data" internet access at 300bps?

    Yes the data is unlimited, but 300bps is so slow that it's basically useless in 2012.

    Currently AT&T doesn't seem to specify the speed of the connection once you go over your 3GB/5GB/whatever. It should be a percentage of the maximum speed, written in the contract.

  17. Re:As a spoiled sprint user on After Complaints, AT&T Solidifies, Increases Data Limit · · Score: 1

    My iPhone is about 70MB.

    Really? I thought the iPhone was 4.54 x 2.309 x 0.37 inches.

    You're counting on Sony to provide backwards compatibility? Didn't you learn anything from the PS3's history?
