  1. Re:Indeed, this is the free market at work. on DoubleClick Warns Against Ad-Blocking Browsers · · Score: 1

    Maybe this will show us that text-ads (like google) really is the way to go

  2. It's more likely that...... on Next-gen Game Boy to Hit Stores This Year? · · Score: 1

    It's more likely that we'll see an upgraded DS than a GBA2. something like a GBA SP equivalent.

  3. I was hoping..... on Star Wars Episode 3 Play-By-Play In Pictures · · Score: 1

    I was hoping that we'd get to see darth vader in his bad-ass ways (like choking a few officers). If these screenshots are true to the story - then we wont be getting any of that. Still, its got potential to be a good movie.

  4. Re:Forced to rethink? on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    I remember all so many years ago when i got my first pc (with windows 3.1). Having two mouse buttons that did different things was an easy concept to grasp, no one needed to tell me they did different things. But double clicking was something that just didn't occur to me without being shown.

  5. Re:Small Percentage on Gates Pledges $750M to Vaccinate Children · · Score: 1

    Some info for comparison

    did you know the average american gives over 2% of thir income to charity. pretty good considering the government gives less than 1 percent

  6. Re:It's just a bloody name on Next-Gen Xbox To Lack Backwards Compatibility? · · Score: 1

    Just Something that occured to me when looking at the past consoles. Although the SNES didn't have backwards compatibilty, the genesis didn't either. My point is, if the Genesis didn't have this feature (out of the box) it therefore didn't have that edge over the SNES. it's almost like saying my pc has a 3d gfx card and yours doesn't back in the 486 days, no one had it and it wasn't something you compared between PCs when purchasing. However in todays console world, the PS2 and the GBA (Both market leaders) have backwards compatibility and it would only make sense that the competition have it also.

  7. When the SMS is incorrect on Secondary Exam Results In India Mean An SMS Flood · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Below is a link to a story of teenager who commited suicide after receiving an sms telling her she had failed, when in reality she had passed. It just goes to show the pressures some of these teenagers face in India today.
