  1. The Yellowish Orange Dusk Alert on Cellphones Get Government Chips For Disaster Alert · · Score: 1

    So, while we're all suppose to be looking for a late model Ford, will we be getting an ad for the new Lexus? Will the flood warning be sponsored by Gary's Sump Pump? I miss the days when the stuff we needed to know was sponsored by the letter S and the number 3.

  2. Point, Click, Pray on Ubisoft Launches Movie Studio To Make Movies of Its Games · · Score: 1

    *large square on screen after the credits* - *hold phone up and push button* - Your friend asks, "What was that for?" - You reply, "All Ubisoft movies let you access downloadable content not seen in the film for $5." - "What did you get?" - *looking at phone*, "A plot."

  3. Re:News at 11... on Samsung's Happy Galaxy Tab Users Are Actors · · Score: 1

    Nothing. It's just that the spin doctors keep passing him off as a medical authority when he's not. It's interesting how the only time I've ever heard someone describe themselves as a PhD is in academia. Everywhere else, the title of Dr. is to be left unquestioned.

  4. Re:News at 11... on Samsung's Happy Galaxy Tab Users Are Actors · · Score: 1

    Except many people still think Dr. Phil is an M.D. when instead he has a PhD. Marketing is everything. Ignoring the truth is everything else.

  5. The new mohawk. on Apple To Unveil Light Peak, New MacBook Pros This Week? · · Score: 1

    Apple gets Light Peak. Microsoft gets Widow's Peak.

  6. Re:Remember, not illegal! on Verizon iPhone Is Now Jailbreakable · · Score: 3, Funny

    You are only supposed to use your computer in the manner dictated to you by its manufacturer

    So that's why I got a cease and desist from TI when I turned my calculator upside down and spelt BOOBS.

  7. Another day, another... on IRS Nails CPA For Copying Steve Jobs, Google Execs · · Score: 1

    The rich aren't different from us. They just have more cents than we do.

  8. There is nothing wrong with your television set on Living Earth Simulator Aims To Simulate Everything · · Score: 1

    Outer Limits Season 2 Episode 8 "Wolf 359" http://www.tvrage.com/The_Outer_Limits_1963/episodes/200967 You've been warned. ;)

  9. I smell Oscar! on George Lucas to Resurrect Dead Movie Stars? · · Score: 1

    Great. Joan Crawford and Mel Gibson can do a remake of Trog.

  10. Ruth Buzzi Rules on Big Brother Barbie · · Score: 1

    Damn, now I'm having The Lost Saucer flashbacks. Just put the video screen on the front. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Saucer

  11. Re:He should be jailed! on FTC Taps Ed Felten As First Chief Technologist · · Score: 2, Funny

    Without the repeated extensions of the copyright periods, there will be no incentive to produce new versions of Snow White. 75 years is just not enough time to make back the money invested in making a song or a movie!

    Finally someone has a clue! If my landlord can make money off of something 100 years old then so should Scott Joplin!

  12. Re:not according to Meatloaf on Early Review of 11" Macbook Air · · Score: 5, Funny

    I want you I need you But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad

    Am I going to buy one? Let me sleep on it, baby, baby Let me sleep on it... Let me sleep on it, I'll give ya my answer in the morning. Apple Clerk: "I gotta know right now!"

  13. Repeat After Me on Apple Announces New iPods, iTunes 10, Social Network, AppleTV · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    *holds up the new iPod Touch with Red leather lockscreen* The People's Republic of Ping...on AirTunes we sing...

  14. I blame Kanya on What 'IT' Stuff Should We Teach Ninth-Graders? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think it would be very important to include a section on ethics. Yes, it can be funny to anonymously include funny messages in your code...until your boss reads them. Yes, it's sometimes considered appropriate to do a half-ass job of fixing a coding error...until you realize that code controls someone's pacemaker. Ethics, like good manners, haven't followed us into the 21'st century as much as I would have liked.

  15. The forest from the trees on Apple Patent Points To iMac Touch Running OS X and iOS · · Score: 1

    90+ comments and no one has mentioned that the 'touch' part could mean they're making the iMac like Wacom's Cintiq? http://www.wacom.com/cintiq/cintiq-12wx.php?gclid=CL7b1ebB0qMCFVjW5wod8DD0ug

  16. And she didn't have to burn her bra on Music Festival Producer Pre-Sues Bootleggers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think it's wonderful that women are now considered equals when it comes to violating copyrights. You go girl!

  17. Free Lightsaber with every new account on Darth Vader Robs Long Island Bank · · Score: 5, Funny

    "I find your lack of interest in your savings accounts disturbing." --- "The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant to a well diversified IRA."--- "Asteroids do not concern me, Teller. I want that ship, not excuses. Now get me a low percentage loan."--- "When I left you I was but an accountant. Now I am the bank manager."

  18. Daddy, drive slower! on Crack the Code In US Cyber Command's Logo · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you don't know : whose data not to touch : you must not value : your freedom very much : Burma Shave

  19. This reply smells like feet. on Homer Simpson Named Greatest TV Character · · Score: 4, Funny

    I would have said Al Bundy. *shrug* Peg: Miss me? Al: With every bullet so far.

  20. Re:DMCA still makes it illegal on In Defense of Jailbreaking · · Score: 1

    "No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title."

    I guess I better stop covering the holes on my VHS tapes so I can record over them.

  21. Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump on Energizer USB Battery Charger Software Infects PCs · · Score: 1

    Remember the commercial where the Energizer bunny is hooked to the UFO? That was Jeff Goldblum's idea.

  22. "Need chicken bones? There's an app for that. on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 1

    I think it would be great if Apple's website releases the iPad and it says "And by the wayit also runs OSX." Of course, we all go to the Store page for it and see the OSX version is $999. But still ;)

  23. Re:To be fair on School Spying Scandal Gets Even More Bizarre · · Score: 1

    But wouldn't this justify the administrators having the kindergarten class' guinea pig arrested as a drug mule?

  24. Dinner and a show on School Spying Scandal Gets Even More Bizarre · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What are the chances Mr. Schooladministrator will be asked, "Why did you watch Billy Beatnick supposedly taking drugs for 30 seconds and then watch Chelsea Cheerleader for the next 3 hours?"

  25. Is this a remake? on Swarm of Giant Jellyfish Capsize 10-Ton Trawler · · Score: 2, Funny

    Great...can't wait for the Syfy movie. *rolling eyes*
