  1. Apropos on Americans Hate TV and Internet Providers More Than Other Industries · · Score: 1
  2. Just saying.. on Samsung SSD 840 EVO MSATA Tested · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Shouldn't this submission feature an orange "Ad" image similar to Google's paid results instead of the "Hardware" image?

  3. Re:800MM seems impossibly low on Judge OKs Class Action Suit Against Apple For E-Book Price Fixing · · Score: 0

    Not when you're the plaintiffs. Do you think they have the public interest in mind or their wallets?

  4. Re:Only one page of comments on Chinese Moon Rover Says an Early Goodnight · · Score: 1

    So you're only 10% sure it's a troll?

  5. Re:Prior art on Apple Files Patent For New Proprietary Port · · Score: 2

    It's not just Lenovo. My MSI laptop has the same port.

  6. Another ephemeral product from Google on Google Gets Into Politics With Civic Info API · · Score: 1, Troll

    Don't get too attached to this new API, it will probably go the way of the Dodo in a couple years, judging by Google's track record.

  7. Re:Gee...The Daily Show? Wrong? Why I never! on Fed Gave Banks Eye-Popping Emergency Loans, Without Telling Congress · · Score: 1

    People who depend primarily on the Daily Show are better than people who depend primarily on Fox News, but not a lot.

    Sold!

  8. Re:You mispelled nucular on Mitsubishi Hack Stole Nuclear, Defense Data · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Right. After all, this is the week when the Treehouse of Horror episodes are usually shown on TV every day. And in my area we have The Simpsons on three times per day so that's a lot of Treehouse of Horror episodes! Best week ever!

  9. Re:The idolism is suffocating on Was the iPod Accessory Port Inspired By a 40-Year-Old Camera? · · Score: 3, Interesting
  10. The idolism is suffocating on Was the iPod Accessory Port Inspired By a 40-Year-Old Camera? · · Score: 1

    (I'm typing this on a brand new Macbook Air :)

    This editorial is a must read: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/08/jobs_funeral/

  11. Questions about existing WiMAX coverage improving on Sprint Details Shift To LTE · · Score: 1

    Commenters here say that existing WiMAX areas will continue to be supported long enough for existing users, but does this mean that Sprint will not continue to upgrade and expand their coverage area for WiMAX? I just bought a Sprint 4G phone a few weeks ago (coming from AT&T), and the 4G coverage/speed in the Chicago city limits isn't as great as the marketing had led me to believe, but I hoped that it would only get better in time. Now that Sprint is moving to LTE, can I expect that the device will still be supported but that, unfortunately, coverage and speeds won't improve at all for my Motorola Photon 4G?

  12. The only solution? on Facebook Cookies Track Users Even After Logging Out · · Score: 1

    What about NoScript? I frequently see the option to allow facebook.net et al when browsing sites (it's even on the list right now on /.). Doesn't this prevent my info from being sent to FB provided the scripts are not allowed to run?

  13. Re:Yeah. on Famous Wildlife Photographer Busted For Using Stock Images · · Score: 1

    ...Helleso, who is famous not only for his art, but also for being a strong advocate of keeping digital photography real and speaking out against manipulation or theft of material...

    Ha ha is right..

  14. Hmm.. saw it originally on Hacker News.. on Mario Gets a Portal Gun In New Indie Game · · Score: 2

    ..And rolled my eyes. Did not look fun to play despite the novelty.

  15. This sounds and smells like a kdawson post on Another CA Issues False Certificates To Iran · · Score: 1

    To two links to forum-type sources?

  16. A huge thanks on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    I'm a man who is challenged by verbosity. Thank you for the great site you started.

  17. Re:In other [future] news on PS Vita Specs Announced · · Score: 1

    As the others have already replied to your post, gaming stinks on the Android and iPhone platforms. Without physical controls it's not very much fun to game on a touchscreen unless all you do is play sudoku.

  18. Firefox will matter to me again... on Mozilla's Nightingale: Why Firefox Still Matters · · Score: 2

    ..when it gets rid of all the bloat. If the Mozilla foundation isn't willing to streamline the Firefox codebase they should release a stripped-down no frills version. They can call it something like Phoenix or Firebird to distinguish it from Firefox.

  19. Re:Or they can continue... on Android Market Upgraded, Buy eBooks and Rent Movies · · Score: 1

    I bought a nook and put cyanogen mod on it. It has really performed well below my expectations. So much so that I haven't even bothered charging it in the last 2 weeks. Given the choice again, I probably would have spent a little more for something like the new Dell Android tablet that was reviewed on el reg today.

  20. Re:torrent plz? on The Humble Indie Bundle 3 Released · · Score: 0

    With that kind of salary you'll never afford proper treatment for your subluxation. A proper chiropractor should have self-diagnosed you on the street long time ago.

  21. Re:Link to the paper on Cornell Software Fingers Fake Online Reviews · · Score: 1

    If you are one of the millions suffering from subluxation a slide show would be the least of your concerns.

  22. Re:Dumb? on Former Google CIO Suggests 'Do Dumb Things' · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Dumb is not getting your subluxation problem diagnosed by a fully bonded, insured, and licensed clinical chiropractor.

  23. For crying out loud on BlackBerry PlayBook First Tablet To Gain NIST Approval · · Score: 1

    The submission was clearly written by a RIM PR rep. Simon says "SILENCE"

  24. Re:Permissions on 8% of Android Apps Are Leaking Private Information · · Score: 1

    but that isn't much of a "leak" when users agree to it.

    But that's the point! With such course-grained controls users will accept most anything. Don't tell me you never downloaded a simple app that required "Read all SD card contents" or whatever it's called.

  25. Re:apple lawsuit on BiPod Flying Car Makes (Short) Test Flights · · Score: 1

    Not to mention all the lawsuits bought by those not properly diagnosed with subluxation prior to their first flight/drive.bought
