    So, I just carry a rug around and wipe it to get a static charge into the car every once in a while?

    They've never innovated a single thing on their own.

    As far as I know they're the only ones who where clever enough to put "Shutdown" in their "Start" menu.

    Oh wait.

  13. It will be fixed on Facebook Confirms New Cookie-Tracking Issue · · Score: 1

    Facebook has confirmed this is indeed a bug, but says that it is limited in scope and that it will be fixed today.

    Once it's fixed, it won't be limited in scope anymore.

  14. Re:50,000 a day? on So Far, More Than 50,000 Kindle Fire Pre-Orders Per Day · · Score: 1

    What do you mean by "Amazon gives you an old fashioned MP3 for music"? Do you think you can only get music from the iTunes Store? All the iPods, iPhones and iPads as well as iTunes have always been able to playback MP3 files gotten from various non-iTunes sources. You can even re-encode tracks into MP3 if you so desire. The default format for audio files is AAC because it's better per bitrate but nothing prevents you from making MP3 or WAV the default file format.

    I want a neutrinos modem so that my downloads are finished before I click on the links!

  22. Does that include Netflix Canada? on Netflix Signs Exclusive Deal With Dreamworks · · Score: 1

    You don't expand a thing like Netflix worldwide by letting all the middle men in control of someone else's works. I hope Netflix are smart and signing world-wide deals, not only USA-only rights. Maybe that's why they went to Dreamworks directly, to bypass all the layers of middle men?

  23. Re:Nice slashvertisement on Netflix Signs Exclusive Deal With Dreamworks · · Score: 2

    It pioneered how networks, shows, actors, writers and workers don't get paid a single dime.

    It might work in the short term for a small number of viewers, but unfortunately it's not a viable plan in the long term for all viewers.

    Even so, eight dollars per month for 6 new movies per month isn't that high if you compare it to the prices your cable or satellite company demands for on-demand movies.
