  1. Oh Al ! Say it aint so! on Man Claiming He Invented the Internet Sues · · Score: 1

    Oh Al ! Say it aint so ! Don't worry, you'll always be the inventor to me !

  2. Re:deh on Selling Used MP3s Found Legal In America · · Score: 1

    Because those minute..err mp3s are new! Once they have been listened to, they are used. Eww, the tarnish alone should be an obvious clue that there is a difference. Can't you see the yellow bits there as it goes down the pipe?

  3. Padewan Fail You Do on Jedi Master's Hand-Made Lightsaber Stolen · · Score: 1

    Is this a double epic fail? 1st fail, playing with a lightsaber and pretending it to be real. Second fail, not following your own fantasy fetish and keeping it on you in case Stormtroopers happen to show up. Double Fail..

  4. Let me translate that for you on Central Europe Countries Continue to Oppose ACTA · · Score: 1

    The government wants to further analyze the issue.Loosely translated means RIAA/MPAA needs to pay us more money.

  5. What a coincidence on Oklahoma Politician Wants To Tax Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    What a coincidence, I want to tax Oklahoma Politicians!

  6. Re:Uhm on Google Begins Country-Specific Blog Censorship · · Score: 1

    The fact that you can bypass it has nothing whatsoever to do with if it is censorship or not. You can rob a bank by bypassing security, does that mean that they are not trying to keep you out?

  7. Wow.. Bono has to be getting up there but on Aging U-2 Will Fight On Into the Next Decade · · Score: 1

    "Aging U-2 Will Fight On Into the Next Decade" Well, Bono has to be getting up there but compared to the Stones, they still got a ways to go. Good for them ! lol

    Al would never lie to me !

  9. Well combine this with googles other news on Android Malware May Have Infected 5 Million Users · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, combine this with Googles recent news of privacy policy changes and Android's shine really is fading fast. I hate Apple, not for the products, I love Macs. It's the overused domination attitude I just can't deal with. So, that said, what's left? Win phone? Omg no. Maybe RIM and Nokia still have a niche after all... Just something to consider.

  10. It's a secret plot by apple on Google's SPDY Could Be Incorporated Into Next-Gen HTTP · · Score: 5, Funny

    Its a secret plot by Apple to fix the lag in IOS 5 Safari by getting Google to find a way to speed up web page loads to cover it up!

  11. The Response on MPAA-Dodd Investigation Petition Reaches Goal · · Score: 1

    All Obama is going to do is say Chris Dodd does not work here anymore. He can say what he wants. Free Speech etc... Now I wonder if Laundered MPAA/RIAA Monies have made it into the Obama Election Funds...

  12. Except the driveway on A Data Center That Looks Like a Mansion · · Score: 1

    Will fit right in except for the driveway with 13 Smart cars, 11 Prius, and 17 BMWs.

  13. In other news..from Cali..of course.. on Adafruit's Open-source Wearable Platform, Flora · · Score: 0

    California Strip Clubs now required to post signs warning "staring at G-Strings can cause Epileptic Seizures..

  14. Gold on Is Facebook Becoming a Central Bank? · · Score: 1

    ""Facebook's 27-year-old founder, Mark Zuckerberg, isn't usually mentioned in the same breath as Ben Bernanke, the 58-year-old head of the Federal Reserve" -- And that might be because there is a reason the US (at least, among others) Use Gold to back their currency. It helps to stabilize inflation, deflation, basically it means the dollar won't be worth 10 cents overnight. Read about it some time.

  15. now its a party on Anonymous Takes Down DOJ, RIAA, MPA and Universal Music · · Score: 2

    Now it's a party. Too bad they forgot to invite Sony...

  16. I can smell the lawsuits already on Microsoft Patents Bad Neighborhood Detection · · Score: 1

    So, imagine getting "on the list". Rightly so, or just by mistake. So I'm sure they will base it on crimerate etc... But still, Now Microsoft will be influencing housing prices etc.. and judging quality of life for you.. hahaha sry..

  17. In other news on Judge Dismisses 'Other OS' Class-Action Suit Against Sony · · Score: 1

    California Judge buys new $40 million dollar mansion. Has been overheard saying "I just saved my pennies for a long time, that's how I afford it".

  18. Never underestimate on Discouraging Playstation Vita Details · · Score: 1

    Why high priced proprietary memory? Never underestimate the greed of a corporation that cares nothing about its customers. In fact they are part of an entire industry that blatantly accuses its entire customer base of being thieves on a regular basis. Read the warning on every Sony movie or music cd. Why on earth would ANYONE be surprised that Sony went the low road and did what's best for them instead of the customers? Better question, why in hell do people keep supporting these business practices by purchasing Sony products? It just tells them we would rather be treated like dung than go without call of duty. Pathetic but true.

  19. Re:Yeah Baby on CyanogenMod 9 Working On the Nexus S · · Score: 1

    Umm.. no. Everything is right except the unlock the bootloader. You don't have to wipe anything. Just unlock it.

  20. Why is this /. worthy ? on Legend: Tabletop Gaming For a Good Cause · · Score: -1, Troll

    I mean, cmon, I'm all for the charitable aspect of the gaming but is this really /. worthy? Slow news day? ok.. just saying..

  21. All this and nobody complained about the obvious on More On Why It Stinks To Work At Zynga · · Score: 2

    All this and nobody complained about the obvious: Having to get your hands dirty working that plow and driving the tractor all day, getting up with the chickens, not to mention shoveling S#!T all day to clean up after the animals.. Farm Work Is Tough! No wonder they don't like working there!!

  22. Yeah Baby on CyanogenMod 9 Working On the Nexus S · · Score: 2

    Sweetness. Guess I haven't been over on Cyanogenmod for a little too long as I didn't realize Koush was this close. I just happen to have a Nexus S and am a Cyanogen Advocate. I've been running Cyan Roms since about ver3 on my G1 way back and have found that if bugs appear, it usually gets fixed or a workaround is posted fairly quickly. I can actually say I trust most of the Cyanogen stuff to not brick my devices but I do reserve that I have a little experience with this type of thing. Can't wait to go get me an Ice Cream Sandwich !

  23. First thing I want to see.. on Doom 3 Source Released · · Score: 1

    First thing I want to see is someone please add some light to the dam game!!! It's just plain to dam dark!

  24. Re:Glad I'm safe! on Internet Water Army On the March · · Score: 1

    Umm yeah.. good luck with that. I'd be a little more careful. Even Bablefish is pretty good now a days. Just saying...

  25. Unfortunately this is the status quo on Internet Water Army On the March · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unfortunately this is the status quo. It's been long known companies like IBM, Microsoft, and Blockbuster, have been paying hordes to scavenge google or bing for posts like " Win 7 sucks" or Win 7 just as bad, and then post things like " I don't know, I have 3 computers running it and have zero issues like you say. Might be your hardware. This is just bringing it to the mainstreams attention IMO. I guess the days are coming to an end when I go to Best Buy to get something and look it up on my phone to get reviews. Now the kicker: How many times have you went to buy something from a non name brand and looked them up before using your credit card? Say you Google " mom and pop xx widgets R us" and the word scam or fraud. Well, when do the scammers start flooding the results to show stellar listings for the latest fraud sites? Kind of changes the whole community concept doesn't it? .. Just something to think about.
