  1. Khan Noonien Ballmer on Steve Ballmer: We Won't Be Out-Innovated By Apple Anymore · · Score: 2

    Can I compare this to Khan's tunnel vision on the incapacitated Reliant as he's still going after the Enterprise at the end of Wrath?

  2. Funny on Hungarian Sequencing Company Vets DNA For 'Gypsy Or Jew' Genes · · Score: 1

    She doesn't sequence druish.

  3. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on Planetary Resources Confirms Plan To Mine Asteroids · · Score: 1

    I thought I read somewhere they are going to pull a small asteroid (17–22 meters) into moon's orbit, not the earth's, then mine it.

  4. Re:Rotational Speed on Monster Solar Tornadoes Discovered · · Score: 1

    To put another spin on this, the earth's velocity around the sun is 107,300 km/h (67,062 mph). It's easy to let the environment force restrictions on the fathomable.

  5. Nope on Lost Russian Mars Probe Phones Home · · Score: 0
  6. OS X Server on Apple WWDC: iOS 5, Lion, iCloud · · Score: 1

    OS X Server is now integrated in the Lion OS. It does not say, but it once speculated to cost extra for the service. But Apple's site leads me to believe it does not.

  7. Re:This is good to know on Man Unknowingly Tweets the Osama Raid · · Score: 2

    I wish I had mod points for you.

  8. Re:Bug? on Apple Updating iOS To Address Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Wasn't a design flaw in software once called a "turkey"?

  9. Feed Me on Rumors Pointing to September iPhone 5 Ship Date · · Score: 1

    Aren't Apple rumor posts basically slashdot mods trolling anymore?

  10. Re:This won't work on Ballmer Turns To Geeks For Salvation · · Score: 1

    The problem is while engineers ... make money but are roundly hated. (ok, over simplification but still).

    I don't know why you are modded funny, as that is truly an insightful perspective.

  11. Re:Feel Around on Has Christopher Nolan Turned the 3D Argument? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Oh come on! Why was I modded troll here? This is from a cult classic film "Kentucky Fried Movie!" I thought it was funny, anyways.

  12. Feel Around on Has Christopher Nolan Turned the 3D Argument? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    3D: old and busted. Feel Around: new and hotness.

  13. Re:Damn Netflix! on Blockbuster Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    Talk about ad placement. There was a Netflix ad underneath this post in the RSS feed.

  14. Shake up on GoogleTV, AppleTV and the Battle For The Living Room · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I pretty much basically watch public television (PBS) and Netflix. I don't have cable or satellite service.

    The media is prime for a shake up. But I'm not sure anyone can deliver us from hundreds of channels of crap. I mean, if Hollywood is already out of ideas, now banking on remakes, neither Apple or Google can help much, but only serve us classic reruns with a better user experience. :/

  15. Re:Facebook dead on Apple Announces New iPods, iTunes 10, Social Network, AppleTV · · Score: 1

    I don't think Facebook is going anywhere. Especially a coffin. Maybe you are being sarcastic, but what Facebook has encompassed is a one-stop-shop. But even being the closest thing to online social perfection, everyone still struggles to find the importance of staying on top of it everyday. If it doesn't feed your needs, then it can't cater to everyone like breathing air. Although, there are those that breath Facebook like air.

    Sure, I see this Ping being useful for expanding music tastes, but covering high school reunions and what you are doing right now? No. It will all merge one day. It's natural like precipitation that falls from the sky will make its way to the ocean.

  16. Re:Market Dominance on Apple Announces New iPods, iTunes 10, Social Network, AppleTV · · Score: 4, Informative

    OT:

    "Going to war without the French is like going deer hunting without your accordion." ~General Norman Schwarzkopf

    I liked that quote so much, I had to look it up. According to Snopes, Jed Babbin said that.

    Carry on.

  17. Re:Apple Insider? Pah! on Browser-Based Jailbreak For iPhone 4 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Now, just need a fix for iOS4 being slow and shit on the iPhone 3G....

    Try doing a hard reset to the 3G phone x2. My wife's phone was unusable after the iOS4 update. This did the trick. It's worth a try.

  18. Re:Troll article. on iPad Owners Are 'Selfish Elites' · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It is trollish. But the Slashdot community certainly has changed their opinion of Apple over the past year or so. Once cheering for the underdog, is feeling suppressed as the hacker within its walled garden.

    We must feed the trolls.

  19. Re:You have to wonder? on Apple Quietly Goes After Mac Trojan With Update · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sometimes a trojan prevents a virus.

  20. Re:That's All? on Over a Third of the Internet Is Pornographic · · Score: 0

    I'll play troll and make this political. And people were outraged because Steve Jobs won't perpetuate it on the App Store. I mean it's like he depriving his clients! Steve knows the porn industry doesn't need his help. Wow, a third. That is a lot of porn.

  21. Re:Yes and No on Can Transistors Be Made To Work When They're Off? · · Score: 0

    I think this could be considered a paradox. Until we reach the goal, this research shall use energy to preserve energy. This application can apply to many things.

  22. Re:Hilarity on Adobe Stops Development For iPhone · · Score: 0

    Apple's cash reserves ($41.7B) covers Adobe's market cap (18.38B). If Apple had to, they would buy Adobe with a checkbook. Besides, last I heard, 60% of Adobe's revenue is from Mac OS software. That would be a big plug to pull out of spite.

  23. Preorder Now on Review of Adobe Creative Suite 5 · · Score: 0

    Ships within 30-days.

  24. Re:Giving back on Google Donates $2 Million To the Wikimedia Foundation · · Score: 0

    IMHO, Google searches Wikipedia better than Wikipedia searches itself.

  25. Re:So... on Using a Sausage On Your iPhone · · Score: 0

    I works better unprotected, but you run the risk of making a mess.
