  1. Re:Great..... on Apple Wins Patent For "iWallet" · · Score: 2

    Losing this would generally be safer than using your wallet (when it comes to someone less than honorable finding it) if you have a decent pin/passcode on your phone.

  2. Re:Lovely and Intuitive? on Microsoft Launches Windows 8 Consumer Preview · · Score: 2

    You don't have to wait for the desktop to load. Apparently Metro and the classic desktop load at the same time and are always there.

  3. Re:My desktop is not a tablet. on Microsoft Launches Windows 8 Consumer Preview · · Score: 2

    You know, I'm not so sure about this. Do you have a source? I know you can go into a 'classic' Windows desktop mode, but from all the videos it looks like it behaves more like an application (meaning certain Metro style 'Windows' or panes or whatever can pop up OVER the Windows desktop mode). People keep saying you can just stay in this classic Windows desktop mode, but I don't know if that's the same thing as disabling the Metro interface.

    It was a joke man.

  5. Re:Use cases? on Apple's Secret Weapon To Win the Tablet Wars · · Score: 1

    It's for consuming things. Books, TV shows, movies, music, web pages, etc on the go. Not that hard to understand.

  6. Re:html5 on Julia Meets HTML5 · · Score: 5, Informative

    The canvas tag is a part of the HTML5 spec. So it is an HTML5 application.

  7. Re:Kudos to Mozilla on Mozilla Posts File Containing Registered User Data · · Score: 1

    They didn't just say sorry. They informed users and tried to fix the problem. That's more than a lot of companies would bother doing in this case.

  8. Re:Mozilla's public disclosure on Mozilla Posts File Containing Registered User Data · · Score: 1

    Why don't you just incorporate the first couple of letters of the site used into the password?

  9. Re:"Progress" on Stallman Worried About Chrome OS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The progress is having your data accessible from any computer. The example given in one of the Chrome OS promotional videos was having your machine break and picking up a new one, logging in, and continuing your work like nothing happened.

    That's not true at all.

  11. Re:wow... on Facebook Usage Hits 16 Billion Minutes a Day · · Score: 1

    Communicating with people is a waste of time?

  12. Re:So why should I care? on Google Wave Out of Beta · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just like there are advantages to email over postal mail (speed, ability to easily send to multiple people, etc), there are advantages to Wave over email (the ability to see what the others are saying as they type, gadgets and robots that can be embedded into the Wave, etc).

    People seem to be dismissing it before actually checking it out just because what they have seems good enough. That kind of thinking is not really good for technology.

  13. Re:So why should I care? on Google Wave Out of Beta · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can already send data through the US Postal Service, so what exactly makes email worth my time?

  14. Not like lpr or Samba on Google Drafts Cloud Printing Plan For Chrome OS · · Score: 1

    This is supposed to be for devices that don't have ports (small netbooks running ChromeOS or something) and/or use web apps. Google wants everyone to easily be able to print from Google Docs or some other web based software and not have to think about the hardware involved.

    There are definitely privacy concerns, but it's not supposed to be like lpr or Samba sharing.

  15. Re:wtf on Apple Approves Opera Mini For iPhone · · Score: 1

    It doesn't really have tabs on the screen. It has different windows that you can switch to.

  16. Re:Still sounds shittier than OpenOffice.org. on Google Rebuilds Docs Platform · · Score: 1

    What makes you say that? I'm sure Google is using something similar to their Google Web Toolkit to write the applications in Java and have the code compiled into JavaScript. When you do that, the fact that the browser is interpreting JavaScript really doesn't matter. All the development and organization is done in a language that IS suited to large-scale application development.

  17. Women don't know what they want on Researchers Say Women Secretly Desire Hairy Geeks · · Score: 3, Funny

    So... women don't know what they want. I thought that was a well known fact.

    How do you know data plans are profitable?

    Wow. You sound a little like a crazy paranoid person.

  20. Re:Look, it's actually not bad on Bing Gaining Market Share Faster · · Score: 1

    You don't have to wait for the picture to load to do your search. Notice how the search box comes up before the picture?

  21. Re:You're right - the tools are stupid. on HTML 5 Takes Aim At Flash and Silverlight · · Score: 1

    I've been wondering about this... I use IE8 at work at I've been noticing the same thing. Just now I decided to check out the site in Chrome, and I'm still seeing the same colored dots and widgets all over.

  22. Re:Why would Apple care? on Palm Pre "iTunes Hack" Detailed By DVD Jon · · Score: 1

    Let's say Apple successfully blocks this. Later when a person looking for a new phone walks into a store (or looks online) and asks, "Hey, does this Palm Pre sync with iTunes?" And they hear that it doesn't, they'll get an iPhone instead.
