It's Space.com! It's not as if it's going to get slashdotted.
Just above the map it says: Warning! Some subjects might have pottywords in them! Click the map at your own risk
I wonder what does it mean ?
It means that people who are offended by certain combinations of the latin alphabet may not want to click on the subjects. I personally think anyone that's unable to cope with seeing certain combinations of the latin alphabet probably aren't mature enough to be surfing the web, myself.
Oh I don't know. I've found them quite useful for my quantum mechanics experiments. What I do is I leave the cat in a box for a week and see if it's dead or alive when I take it out. Sure all 1000 experiments have resulted in death for the cat, but I'm not convinced that this isn't a statistical anomaly. I'll kill another 1000 cats if I have to!
Does anyone know if Germany has any WMDs it needs to be liberated of? If not, when's the soonest the American government can give it some so they can invade?
I know I'll get modded down for this, it was a joke. But then again some people have had their sense of humour surgically removed.
Good, god! Are Tamagotchie's still around (whatever their latest name)? For god's sake, kill them.
The tamagotchie was never good. It was an impulse buy, a status symbol. All of them were forgotten in less then a month. The fact that Nintendo has tried to revive it is pathetic.
Oh I'm sure Nintendo will make a profit (which I guess is all they care about), but the DS could have offered a new innovation to handheld consoles. But instead, it's being used for tamagotchie rip-offs. Is this the best they could come up with?
Or you could send Tivo (and their new puppeters) a message and go open source. Everytime you use cracked corporate software, you're hurting open source developers.
I'm not sure why this is being reported as a "new thing" because it's most definately not.
What is new is that up until now, computer related companies have been doing the sponsoring. There's nothing computer related about Johnson and Johnson's baby rash powder (at least at the moment. Wait until the new and improved nanobot rash powder is created).
I find it much more annoying to search on a topic only to have 10 websites repeating the content from Wikipedia. I know it's licensed under the GNU FDL, but give me a break! It's gotten to the stage where all of the results are JUST wikipedia mirrors

is Slashdot considered a "blog"?
Sure, it might be considered a blog by some, but it definitely isn't, according to Wikipedia:
The site resembles a blog in many ways, albeit with threaded comments.
(although unfortunately it's in the blog category. But I personally think it isn't a blog).
It seems that any page that is updated frequently with entries of some sort is considered a "blog"
Under that definition, Wikipedia is a blog.
Perhaps the downfall of this service is that what it is supposed to be searching is not very well defined. One cannot do exact searches when the search medium is so undefined.
Perhaps the definition is "if it's found on Blog Search, it's a blog. Otherwise it isn't." Under this definition, slashdot is not a blog.

I'd rather get back to being able to search for useful information without having to wade through ten million "mi pet hampstre had teh babys!!!11!!1!" links.
I guess it depends on what your searching for as to how many pet hampster blog posts you'll get. I personally have never had a pet hampster blog post in my search results.
Wow, so it's okay to be automatically opted in to something when you buy a product (as long as you're warned)? What happened to buying whatever product was best, and all of these opt-ins for services being seperate?
What is the real effect (if there is any) of such an announcement compared to creating a new department within the company or changing their strategy, asidde from the marketing effect ?
What's the effects of making an announcement besides marketing? There is none. Marketing is the only reason the announcement was made.

For those interested in seeing a demo of this impressive family of products click here. The link on the article seemed to be /.ed.
Your links broken. It doesn't work.

Meh, it was never that important to begin with :P (Don't mod this down unless you're a kiwi).

It's already happening here at slashdot.

although that isn't because we're more moral then the rest of the world. It's because we've yet to discover electricity.
We're too busy spamming mailinator.com.au e-mail addresses.
Actually, under Linus's agreement Microsoft can release a software product called Linux.
Pfft, we've been using dead animals to run cars for years and they've never complained before. This is nothing new ;)
Also, pets are killed on a daily basis in the hundreds, at least this way we're putting them to good use.
Gees, God sure does kill kittens a lot!
Is there nothing that can be solved by killing more kittens?
A use for a cat? Who could have imagined it?

WTF is non-game games?
A Cash cow for Nintendo without forcing Nintendo to actually create innovative gameplay for a revolutionary game.
