  1. Now personalize the main page on Google Adds News Personalization · · Score: 1

    I really don't like the images popping up on certain searches on the main page now. The new functionality really takes away from the clean, minimalist Google feel. At least make it an option to disable it.

  2. In other news on 'Make' Premier Issue · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Today Microsoft announced nmake. Instructions free, diagrams only available after signing NDA.

  3. Oh Dvorak on Dvorak on Google and Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Can't take anything he says without a grain of salt after all the time he spent pimping OS/2 and declaring the "Death of Apple" every other week.

  4. It will take a revolution, not evolution on Can Microsoft Beat Google? · · Score: 1

    Nobody is going to beat Google at the search game unless they can significantly one-up them. Perhaps Microsoft can produce 0.6838% better search results if they really try but who cares? Google is here now and it works just fine. Something a "little better" won't make anyone jump ship. It will take a Altavista->Google size leap for anyone to take notice.

    All MS can really do is force MSN as the IE default page and hope the non-technical users stick with it.

  5. $250 for a handheld? on Sony Announces PSP Launch Date · · Score: 1

    That's steep. I would grab one for $150 unbundled. $250 is too much for a console, much less a handheld.

  6. Leans more toward the DB side on Build a Database Driven Site -- Quick · · Score: 4, Informative

    As the title suggests. Nothing about PHP templating technology (like Smarty) which can lead to some pretty gnarly PHP code. I'd recommend following this book up with Advanced PHP Programming by George Schlossnagle as it focuses more on PHP.

  7. Excellent on Google Moves Into Video · · Score: 1

    This tool will undoubtably aid me in countless intarweb arguments. I can now quote verbatim Jack Bauer's dialogue from last night's 24.

  8. Forza Motorsport BSOD on Gates Nose-Dives at CES · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Seek to 1:13:25 in the video to watch the Xbox game Forza Motorsport blue screen with an "out of system memory" error.

  9. Try this term on MSN search on Is Microsoft Crawling Google? · · Score: 5, Funny
  10. Halo2 is next... on Game Developers: Stop Overpromising · · Score: 1

    If internet rumors from people who have played it are correct, the final game falls WAYYYY short of what was promised in Frank O'Connor's weekly updates.

    If only Valve released Half-Life 2 09/30/2003 it would have been the exact opposite of what happened with Fable, etc. No hype, just game.

  11. Can we find out something really important now? on I Love Bees Coming to an End · · Score: 1

    Who's the hottie who plays Dana?

  12. This one's got a bad motivator! on George Lucas to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award · · Score: 3, Funny

    <Wilhelm-Scream>AHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHH!</Wilhelm-Scream>

  13. Color scheme on Bill Gates Gives $20M to CMU for New Building · · Score: 1
    Some faculty have suggested that in acknowledgment of Mr. Gates' profound influence on the computer software industry, the building should be painted bright blue."

    Don't forget the HUGE puke-green doorbell!

  14. Big thanks to the Firebird Team! on Batch-o-Moz: Firefox, Thunderbird, Suite Released · · Score: 1

    I switched back and forth from Firefox to IE during the Pheonix/Fire(bird|fox) betas and I have to say there's zero incentive to use IE at this time. Firefox is just plain leaner and meaner. IE's lack of extensions is just the killer.

    Thanks to the Firebird team for keeping at it all this time. I will be the first to admit that I thought it was impossible to dethrone IE when Firebird was announced. Thanks for proving me wrong. Great work guys.

  15. Re:Xbox2 Mod? on Xbox 2 Concept Designs Leaked? · · Score: 1

    My Xbox is used as an emulation station. I have no desire to play any Xbox games, but I certainly use it for NES, SNES, Genesis, and arcade games.

    I wish it had a tad more juice and memory under the hood to handle the more powerful arcade games. Alas 733Mhz and 64MB RAM does not cut it.

    If rumors are true, Microsoft is neutering the Xbox 2 by removing the hard disk and backward compatibly in an effort to thwart piracy and "non-standard use" of the console. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

  16. Slow news day? on Xbox 2 Concept Designs Leaked? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Slashdot has taken to posting the fake Xbox2 pic of the week now?

  17. That's Apple innovation for ya on Tiger Slideshow: Pretty Mac OS X Pictures · · Score: 1

    Can someone say porn site friendly mode?

  18. If you use IE... on Dept. of Homeland Security Says to Stop Using IE · · Score: 1

    ...the terrorists have already won!

  19. Ouchie on Microsoft Offers A Peek At New Search Engine · · Score: 1

    MSN Search is temporarily unable to process your request. Please try again in a few minutes. EID: f:1658889542 - 1041:1041:10004:1059 HC: 71d61b14

  20. Re:I can't take a security sight seriously that... on PHP and SQL Security · · Score: 1

    Yeah I caught the spelling mistake after I hit post, oops :)

  21. I can't take a security sight seriously that... on PHP and SQL Security · · Score: 5, Funny

    uses MS Comic font for their articles. Sorry.
