  1. Microsoft Anti-Virus Software? on Microsoft to Buy Anti-Virus Software Firm · · Score: 1

    The "home" version of the software will retail for $89, but it will not actually fix any of the virii it finds.

    The "pro" version will fix any virii that it finds, but will retail for $159.

    You won't be able to update your virus definitions, either. You have to wait for the next version to come out in 2 years, and pay full retail price for it.

  2. Neat on Hacking OpenOffice · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's pretty slick.

    It's neat to see something like this being done. It really shows the true versatility of open standards.

    Perhaps more projects like this will open up some eyes to the fact that open standards really do have practical value.

  3. All good until it starts writing by itself on Leapfrog Talking Pen · · Score: 1

    "Stuck in a pen factory. Please send help."

  4. Err... on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    The iPod Shuffle is pack-of-gum sized, no screen, weighs less than an ounce.

    Incomplete sentences which have grammatical errors make me very.

  5. I'm messing up the averages! on Internet Use Cuts Socializing Time · · Score: 1

    A lot of times when I'm on the computer, I'll have the TV on in the background. It's usually low volume, or even muted. Most of the time on CNN or some other news channel. It would look like I watch probably 3 hours of TV a day, just because it's on so much. But it rarely has my full attention. Am I the only one who does this?
