  1. Re:BooHoo on iPhone Users Angry Over AT&T Upgrade Policy · · Score: 1

    People should just suck it up and fulfill their contract before upgrading. By the time their contract runs out, a 4th gen iphone will be out. Even better! A blessing in disguise.

  2. accutracking on Making a Child Locating System · · Score: 1

    www.accutracking.com Works on just about any GPS enabled device. Virtually real time tracking (you define how often the device updates it's location to the server.) It has google maps integration and has a "covert" install option for some evices. All that for $6 a month and no minimum contracts or autorenew subscriptions. Damn I sound like a salesman but I'm not, really. I've used it to bust my teenage son ditching class and driving off with friends in locations I specifically told him not to go.

    I think you read too far into the flash comment. :-) Light is light. Liek you said, it all depends on how you apply it.

    Thanks for the compliments guys. As far as the flash site goes, It's a script called simpleviewer. http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/

    This is a shamless plug to my photography site but I taken some hardocre photos of spiders, wasps and mantises over the years. If you have a fear of spiders and wasps, this might be the gentle exposure you need.

  6. whaaa? on MediaSentry Hired By People's Republic of China · · Score: 1

    What you say? China concerned about piracy? There will prolly be a "commemorative" DVD of the games available next week.

  7. Re:Brakes. Not breaks. on Experiment Shows Traffic 'Shock Waves' Cause Jams · · Score: 1

    In Germany, you can flash your high beams at the car ahead of you and they will kindly move over to let you pass. If you do that in Los Angeles, you'll get the finger or possibly shot!

  8. Better late than never. on Duke Nukem Forever 'Confirmed' For Late 2008 · · Score: 1

    Sheesh. Better late than never. Let's hope that Spore doesn't take this long.

  9. Re:You'd think so... on Steve Jobs Hates Buttons · · Score: 1

    It's all so clear now. The Freudian theory behind all of this is that Jobs wasn't breastfed enough as a child. He wants each of his devices to be a breast.

  10. Re:Downloading. on The 10 "Inconvienient Truths" of File Sharing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    OMG. Buy an iTunes gift card from just about any brick and mortar store and purchase DRM free songs from iTunes.

  11. Re:Where to get decent photo editing done [a bit O on Adobe Lightroom Review · · Score: 1

    My off-topic question that sort of remains on-topic is this: With all the cheap labor available online (from students, amateurs and those trying to build portfolios of work), does anyone know of good websites where I can upload my photographs and let others "compete" openly to making them look better? A turd can be polished till it's shiny and bright but it will always be shit. I highly recommend fine tuning one's photography skills instead of "cleaning it up". I recommend joining Photosig http://www.photosig.com./ It's a site where you can upload your photos for the photography community to critique. Improve your photography skills by constructive criticism. Besides, most people enjoy editing their own work.
