  1. Re:Vertical tabs? on Google Releases Chrome 5.0 For Win/Mac/Linux · · Score: 1

    Here's a power tip if you're in Windows, start Chrome with the --enable-vertical-tabs parameter. It's experimental so remove any custom skins before you do it.

  2. Re:Enough with the "I got ripped off!" whining on Asus Confirms Specs, Price of Eee PC 904 and 1000 · · Score: 1

    I always thought the point of the Asus Eee was a cheap laptop you could just throw in your bag and take to a coffee shop without freaking out about breaking it (ie. carrying a $2000 laptop in your bag). Or maybe a beginner laptop for kids. I can't see why someone would want to use it as their primary laptop. The small keyboard would give you bad wrist problems in a matter of months.

  3. Bad direction... Just another laptop. on Asus Confirms Specs, Price of Eee PC 904 and 1000 · · Score: 1

    I don't like the direction of the Asus Eee laptops now. I was thinking they were trying to introduce an ultra-portable, ultra-inexpensive laptop. I'm seeing new models popping up for $599 and $699? Obviously turning in to "just another laptop." Where is the ultra-compact, wifi, durable $200-$250 laptop we're all clamoring for?

  4. Mac? on Real-World Firefox 3 Memory Usage Leads the Field · · Score: 1

    Very much looking forward to similar tests running on Mac OSX. Webkit -vs- Firefox3 -vs- Opera -vs- Safari, etc... So far FF3 on the Mac has been A

  5. Treo 700p? on Google Maps GPS Simulator · · Score: 1

    Anyone have any luck getting this to work on a Treo 700p? The update doesn't seem to be applying to mine :(

  6. Re:Labels or Folders? on Free IMAP On Gmail · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I do hope I'm able to log in through Thunderbird and see all my labels represented as folders....

    And vice versa. If I create a folder in Thunderbird and move email in to it, this should create a label within Gmail.

  7. My favs... on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    Well, I am on Windows, for better or for worse. There are a few i really like.

    1. Total Commander - A super-fast and powerful file manager.
    2. UltraEdit - A text editor.
    3. MiniAim - a 74k AIM client.

  8. Wachowski "Brothers" ? on Wachowski Brothers and the Speed Racer Movie · · Score: 1

    Uh, they're not the Wachowski "Brothers" anymore. One of them had a sex change and is now a woman.

    Seriously.

  9. Am I missing something? on Google Expands to 'Universal' Search · · Score: 1

    The results look the same as they always have... There's just a new nav bar in the very top of the search results to toggle between news, videos, etc.... And that isn't even persistent on every page, which is utterly annoying... So if I'm searching web results and I click the nav to go over to "News" for instance, the nav is GONE!! Lame.

  10. Access.... on Google Docs to support Powerpoint · · Score: 1

    Now all they need is a web-enabled database solution.... That's a tricky one.

  11. Riiiight... on Zune Business Dev Executive Moves On · · Score: 1

    in other words: "I'm getting off this sinking ship while i still can."

  12. Netvibes Customization with Firefox... on Netvibes May Give My Yahoo Run For Money · · Score: 1

    I wrote this article about how to take customization to the next level with Netvibes and some firefox extensions. Check it out: http://www.pecknology.net/netvibes/index.html Cheers, Daniel

  13. Re:Confused. on Democrats Take House, Senate Undecided · · Score: 1

    Quite a paradox :(

    They can't be disproved any more so than they can be proven.

  15. Confused. on Democrats Take House, Senate Undecided · · Score: 1

    How can there be voter fraud if the Democrats are winning?

  16. Re:The Netherlands on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    FYI, Cocaine is psychologically addictive, not physiologically.

  17. Mmm.. on Wal-Mart Leaks Zune Price · · Score: 1

    Ahhhhhhh, you just gotta love competition!!

  18. Well, anyone know what Steorn used to be? I do. on Irish Company Claims Free Energy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, the problem with The Internet today is anyone can put a very compelling and persuasive website together to claim anything they want to claim. Many people don't recall that Steorn is a former e-business company that saw its market vanish during the dot.com bust. It stands to reason that Steorn has re-tooled as a Web marketing company, and is using the "free energy" promotion as a platform to show future clients how it can leverage print advertising and a slick Web site to promote their products and ideas. If so, it's a pretty brilliant strategy.

  19. Wow... on An IE-Based Tabbed Browser from China · · Score: 1, Funny

    That's great and all, aside from the fact that it's built upon Internet Explorer.

  20. Nice... on Teen Sues MySpace Over Sexual Assault · · Score: 1

    Nice. I bet this settles out of court for millions. FoxCorp can surely afford it. Stupid myspace... I hate that site.

  21. how does that song go? on Would You Wear Video Glasses? · · Score: 1

    "the future's so bright... but I gotta wear shades!"

  22. 4 8 15 16 23 42 on Judge Creates Own Da Vinci Code · · Score: 3, Funny

    i'm pretty sure it has something to do with those numbers in Lost...

  23. Well!! on Why Game Movies Stink · · Score: 1

    These people OBVIOUSLY never saw Doom! A cinematic masterpiece!

  24. Meh. It's ok, but . . . . on Preview Google's New Search Results Page · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When you click on, say, "Images" on the left of the search results, you see the images, but then the sidebar is gone.... You should be able to click on Images, then Groups, then back to Web without it taking away your sidebar. It breaks the paradigm. But perhaps that's due for this being a beta thing.

  25. It's not the unknown, it's the age... on U.S. Internet Growth Stalling · · Score: 1

    Actually, part of it *IS* the age. People who age without exercising the analytical regions of their brain will begin to lose the ability to think in the way necessary to operate a piece of technology. It's a natural process of brain degredation attributed to lack of 'creative' usage, being locked into a daily routine, etc, etc. The brain is just like the physical muscles in our body. If you don't use it, you lose it.
