  1. Re:Mid-air mouse... on Five Ideas That Will Reinvent Computing · · Score: 1

    I have to admit, I did not read the entire FA. I found it boring... A long "what if we had freeking lazers" article imho.

    However the idea of a 3d mouse is not a bad one. Strike that... the idea of controling a pointer with a wave of your hand (think mid air gestures like your casting some arcane spell). Combine this with speech control software (like Mac OS X has), and there could be really something special.

    I also have to admit that I the computer mouse (and trackpad for that matter).

  2. Re:WiFi on iPhone Doesn't Surf Fast Enough for Jobs · · Score: 1

    Your only Data option with the iPhone is unlimited Data (at a dirt cheep price may I say). AT&T would actually prefer you to use WiFi if you have it available, cause they have your money already. There may be an issue if someone creates a VoIP app for the iPhone, but AFAIK there will not be any 3rd party apps because there is a lack of an SDK.

    Perhaps Justin has bad Karma, or God may have cursed him.

  15. Re:To the summary on Voice Chat Can Really Kill the Mood · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Whats your point? The summary is postulating that voice chat kills the immersion of a game, the "Role Playing Feel"; not that 11yo can't play video games.

    We all know that 11yo are the best at video games.

  24. Re:Why not start debunking FUD now? on Linus Responds To Microsoft Patent Claims · · Score: 1

    Implementing an HTTP stack is obvious yes, and prior art exists... but Microsoft is trying to tell you that they are doing things in a unique way. This is multithreaded HTTP stack that has specific timing hooks. If I understand correctly, Microsoft thinks they can improve performance in the situation of having multiple datastreams by scheduling the datastream's packets (thus setting a priority) inside the stack and doing DNS lookups in parallel. Is there prior art in this specific instance?
