  1. Re:Legality difference between NES and SNES on OUYA Android Game Console Available In June · · Score: 1

    Your first paragraph made my brain hurt.

  2. Re:Good on Apple Angers Mac Users With Silent Shutdown of Java 7 · · Score: 1

    Actually it is continuing to do this as of today, right from the java.com page. If you have a super secret link whereas the java installer does not come with ASK checked by default by all means share share share!!

  3. BC's Quest for Tires! on Solowheel is for People Who Think a Segway is Boring (Video) · · Score: 1

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeMSqUpWMMU reminds me so much of this game.

  4. Re:Irrational on Messenger App Brings Free VoIP to US Facebook Users — At a Price · · Score: 2

    Right, you have to have the app installed but you dont need to give them your phone number. Facetime can bet setup to use either your phone number or an email, not sure about yahoo.

  5. Re:The proof is inverted in an airplane on FAA Device Rules Illustrate the Folly of a Regulated Internet · · Score: 1

    I see your point but I agree to disagree. Although I think both of us are on the same page where it would be nice to not have to look at that crappy skymall magazine, have a great new year hawguy.

    How is it not time taken away? It's time I *could* be using my iPad, but I'm not allowed to because of some regulation that may have no reason to exist.

    Its not time taken away because you never had that time to play with your electronic devices. Everyone who has flown before knows that there is a time at the beginning and the end of the flight where you have to take out the headphones and read the awesome deals in sky mall. Now as I stated above if there is no viable reason (yes I have left my phone on once or twice and no the plane did not come down but a little more science would be nice) then it should be allowed. I also think that during the safety briefing everyone should be paying attention, in the very slight chance that my plane goes down and the very very slighter chance that I don't turn up as crispy hamburger right off the bat, I would prefer not to be delayed by the guy in front of me trying to save his laptop. I just think this is kinda a silly non-issue for people to be breaking out the pitchforks and torches for currently.

    that's $730M of productivity (or leisure time) taken away.

    That is not time that was taken away, that is time you never had to play/work with you gadgets. I agree if there is no viable reason it should be allowed but this is not something we were able to do and then it was taken away. This is $730M of productivity or leisure time you did not have.

  8. Re:The proof is inverted in an airplane on FAA Device Rules Illustrate the Folly of a Regulated Internet · · Score: 1

    I agree and I think that it probably causes no issues. What is funny is that people are getting that pissy over not being able to use something for 15 minutes at the start and 15 minutes at the end of a flight... really this is an overblown non-issue.

  9. Re:walled gardens don't work on 'Connected' TVs Mostly Used Just Like the Unconnected Kind · · Score: 2

    There is a huge difference in doing something and doing something the right, first out of the gate is not a guaranteed win.

    newer versions of Windows can't really run on older hardware.

    I hope you are talking about WIN PHONE 8 and not Windows 8 as in runs on computers.

    I think this is pretty much the case with the PS3 & 360 as well at least for most of their life. The controllers were/are $50-$60 for OEM.

    but native 48fps will have to be a whole other world better than what the 120hz tv's software intrapolation does to 24fps film, cause that's distracting as all hell.

    I think its distracting as hell for just a short time, once I was used to it, I can't even tell its on.

    This is a feature if it is not your only option. Do like the Apple TV does, include a remote and give you the option to use your phone/tablet.

    Wouldn't that be a big liability for these manufactures to have and store and safeguard your personal medical information even if it just settings on a device?

    So you're saying less competition is in the public interest?

    I think he is saying that a stay on this import ban would be more in Microsoft's interest then the public.
