  1. nokia on Google Hiring Android Devs To Close the 'Apps Gap' · · Score: 1

    I wish Nokia would do something like this. The Ovi Store is enemic and Nokia's been providing some paid programs as "free" (ad supported) to make their store more enticing. Nokia's been trying with their "beta labs" http://betalabs.nokia.com/ but some stuff is only compatible with their latest phones, not for their older phones.

  2. Re:Cut-scenes themselves are not the problem on Game Breakers · · Score: 1

    You probably already know your answer, but basically it makes a 4-8 hour game seem more like 24-48 hours.

  3. increased RAM prices to help Rambus out? on Samsung To Pay Out $300 Million In Anti-Trust Suit · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just did a little bit of searching when I read the article. According to wikipedia, the first motherboards with Rambus were in 1999, and Intel had an agreement with Rambus to use their RAM until 2002. These are the same years quoted in the article. I wonder if there are other players in this game other than Samsung?

  4. it's already been done! on Dissecting Songs Down to Their 'Musical Genome' · · Score: 1

    http://www.musicbrainz.org/ Musicbrainz already has music fingerprints. Albiet, it's not exact, but it's there. Easy to add your own music and fingerprints.

    http://last.fm/ Last.FM already is a place where you can listen to music based on music you like, for free, with no commercials.

    At least at those two sites I can find more than just the top 40.

  5. Re:But will it still be ATI crap. on Sneak Peek at ATi's CrossFire Graphics System · · Score: 1

    You can still download the latest drivers with the old control panel.

  6. Re:Must....resist... on Hip-e All-In-One PC · · Score: 1

    Actually, I keep reading it as "hippy". But, probably "hype" is how they'd pronounce it.

  7. Re:Firefox Bug? on Microsoft Unveils A Designer Mouse · · Score: 1

    I saw the error, but just pressed the Go button on the URL and it displayed fine. *shrug* Could be that it's giving a 404 error from the /.'ing instead of the actual picture.

  8. leather mouse on Microsoft Unveils A Designer Mouse · · Score: 1

    I like their "Black Leather" mouse better....

    Product Info (if it doesn't work, search for "black leather")

  9. books or movies on Turbine Starts The Spin For Middle-Earth Online · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Anybody know if this game has the license from the books or movies? Hmmm. Probably doesn't really matter, though, but I would think the book license would have more content and more original visuals while the movie license would probably have to include the main characters some how. Too bad this has been pushed off, but since Turbine is already a veteran at this, I'm sure they'll be able to release a good, polished game. I'm just glad VI (eVIl) isn't doing it.

  10. Re:DoS on Latest SP2 News · · Score: 1

    Actually, no, not a 200 MB patch. What you will download from Windows Update is supposed to be only the fixes you need. That's one of the reasons why they haven't put it up on WU (or so I've heard).

    But, still, you are correct. They are going to DDoS themselves. I have no idea why they couldn't have setup a random time or defaulted to the current time for Auto Updates.
