  1. I switched because of FF memory usage/leaks on Mozilla's Nightingale: Why Firefox Still Matters · · Score: 1

    I finally had enough of endless Firefox updates that never fixed the memory leaks... it always gobbled up all my free memory in a very short time. Once I made the switch to Chrome, everything was running smoother and I can leave it running for days without memory problems. I bet it's difficult to win back customers who left...

  2. Apple might not like this... on HiJacking the iPhone's Headset Port · · Score: 2

    Won't Apple just reject any app that tries this kind of "mis"-use of the headphone jack? I doubt that they would allow this...

  3. I was curious and bought it... here's my review: on Yahoo! Sells, Advocates DRM-Free Music · · Score: 2, Informative

    After some trouble with their website (a big fat banner was blocking access to any name between b and g) I was able to get my "personalized" version of the song. The name gets inserted twice in the middle of the song, but sounds kinda sloppy and she's not singing it, rather a backup singer / overdubbed. The mp3 is in 256kbit, but it's extremely quiet compared to other mp3s. I compared it with the version on iTunes and that one is at least 3-4 times louder. It's almost as if they used a non-mastered version of the song... not good...

    btw: the instrumental of the song is so blatantly a ripoff of Madonna's Holiday that I wonder if they will get sued over it... ;)

  4. Why not E-Ink on The Optimus Mini Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why they don't consider E-Ink for the Key Labels... sure, it doesn't look quite as flashy as those OLEDs, but I'm sure it lasts longer than 5000 hours and color E-Ink might be developed as well some day...

  5. A scary look into the future... on The Ethics Of Data Brokers · · Score: 4, Interesting
  6. Re:Self Defense? on Reminding Customers Patented by Amazon · · Score: 1

    Very good point... however, if he is finally the king of all patent kings, greed might just take over... I still would favour a patent reform.

  7. Re:Glossing over the actual money maker. on Animal Cloning Comes to Hollywood · · Score: 1

    I just had the same thought... instead of lifeless cheapo plastic replicas of our favourite Movie and TV Pets, we could now own an exact genetic replica. This would be quite a new way of francise business...

  8. Re:Captured in a single image... on Time Lapse of Lunar Eclipse · · Score: 1

    ...maybe a bit late for this thread, but here's a picture I took: http://www.huelsbeck.com/pics/lunar_eclipse.jpg
