  1. This must have had the endorsement of.... on Pneumatic Tube Communication In Hospitals · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... Sen. Ted Stevens.

  2. I might have missed the memo.... on iPhone 4 Rumors Rumble · · Score: -1, Troll

    ..But when did /. become an Apple rumor site?

  3. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.... on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ... But doesn't Universal Pictures own the rights to many Marvel comic book movie properties? How's that going to work?

  4. The price drop is interesting..... on Microsoft Drops Xbox 360 Pricing · · Score: 3, Interesting

    .... When they get the reliability improved so that they don't have a 54.2% failure rate, then I might consider buying one.

  5. One question.... on Time Denies Issuing DMCA Over Obama Joker Image · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why so serious?

  6. The only real security.... on Vulnerability, Potential Exploit In Cisco WLAN APs · · Score: 1

    .... Is a wire from the computer to the network.

  7. Re:expensive on Apple To Ship Mac OS X Snow Leopard On August 28 · · Score: 0

    Given that it dumps Power PC support among other items listed below, methinks it's a bit more than a service pack:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_v10.6

  8. It would be really nice... on Sony Announces PS3 Slim, Price Cut, Improvements To Home · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ..... If Sony restored backward compatibility with PS2 games. That and not the price nor the size of the console is why I haven't bought one yet.

  9. I wonder how long.... on Genetic Mutation Enables Less Sleep · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... Before we get Gustav Graves?

    Someone better tell MI6.

  10. There is one difference.... on How Microsoft Has Changed Without Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    More chairs have been tossed since Gates left.

  11. Re:Sperm Shortage? on Human Sperm Produced In the Laboratory · · Score: 1

    Here's one reason. According to this article, 85% of sperm is damaged which leads to all sorts of "bad" things. So IMHO, something like this can perhaps help to fix damaged sperm or better understand why it is damaged.

  12. My comment can be summed up in four words.... on FTC To Monitor Blogs For Paid Claims & Reviews · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Good luck with that.

    There's no chance that this would ever work and the only people they would catch are the most blatant offenders. One other thing that springs to mind, what about blogs run by people outside the US. Does it affect them if they write a review about a US company?

  13. If you don't want to pay $99 for MobileMe on Tracking Thieves With 'Find my iPhone' · · Score: 1

    ....Perhaps this would be an alternative:

    http://www.orbicule.com/undercover/iphone/

    Not nearly as cool as MobileMe, but likely as effective (and perhaps safer too).

  14. In the absence of any evidence of any sort..... on Could a Meteor Have Brought Down Air France 447? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ... In this case, is it fair to the loved ones on the flight in question to speculate about the cause?

  15. Oracle is now the new Apple on Ballmer, IBM Surprised By Oracle-Sun Deal · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They control the Oracle experience from end to end and lock everybody else (read: Microsoft) out. Ballmer likely came to that conclusion and said "oh shit." That's why he's at a loss for words.

  16. Based on this story..... on BT Blocks Access To Pirate Bay · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ....It sounds like people will have to start using Tor in the "free world."

  17. Do these effects..... on Australian Study Says Web Surfing Boosts Office Productivity · · Score: 3, Funny

    .... also include surfing for pron?

  18. Oblig... on Tigger.A Trojan Quietly Steals Stock Traders' Data · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does it make your computer bounce up and down on its tail too?

  19. Apple has a problem with this...... on Apple Claims That Jail-Breaking Is Illegal · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ..... Because they could potentially make no money off the apps that are installed via jailbreaking. The rest of their reasons are just a smokescreen. Plain and simple.

  20. The dude.... on Jack Thompson Attacks DoD, ESA, GTA With Utah Bill · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... Really needs to have some hot coffee.

  21. Microsoft and Security in the same sentence.... on Microsoft Surface To Coordinate SuperBowl Security · · Score: -1, Troll

    ... Does anybody else see that as an oxymoron?

  22. I guess it's time.... on Sniping Could Be the Next Killer iPod App · · Score: 4, Funny
  23. If this bothers you.... on Diskeeper Accused of Scientology Indoctrination · · Score: 5, Informative

    .... Wikipedia has a list of software that defragments disks. Take out Diskeeper and you have a bunch of options. Nothing changes behaviour like the loss of sales.

  24. Maybe they should test the sharks to see.... on Researchers Test Whether Sharks Enjoy Christmas Songs · · Score: 1

    .... What happens if they get Rickrolled instead.

  25. Re:ACTRA/SOCAN on Canadian Groups Call For Massive Net Regulation · · Score: 4, Informative
