    Blame the marketing department directors asking for more bells and whistles. Blame browser makers for creating insecure software. I mean give me a break, you shouldn't be able to compromise someones system with some markup language code and javascript in the first place.

    It is also loaded with spyware. Sharman Networks (creators of Kazaa) wrote this software. Use at your own risk.

  3. no for typical smokers on Battery-powered Cigarettes? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I really don't see an average smoker buying one of these. Many tabaco companies experimented with these years ago and failed. There is not substitute for the 'cancer stick'.

  4. Re:Duh! on Many Internet Users Happy With Dial-Up · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What if you opt to drop your land line? I quit my local telephone service last year and decided to use my cell phone. I pay $43 for cable (would be more if I didn't have cable tv). It cost me about the same to have dial up and a regular phone as it does to have broadband.

  5. Re:Well, duh! on Linux's Achilles Heel Apparently Revealed · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure that would make sense for a company to publish claims like that. Linux users are still a small minority of users, but they are usually a lot more technologically savy. I'm sure this is something they would spot and and bash away on public forums, news sites, etc. I would think claiming "Linux support" and botching the implementation could hurt the company a lot more. IE. Seems that NVIDIA isn't doing too bad with their drivers. ATI is jumping in the game and hopefully will catch up. Not everything has to be opensource.

    Even a binary driver would help a lot. Hello Creative, get a clue!!
