  1. Been there done that.. on Microsoft Invents A 'Play-Once Only' DVD · · Score: 1
    Let's compare this to the now defunct Divx (Digital Video Express) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIVX/:

    Limited play time.. Check

    Limited to special players.. Check

    New proprietary standard that thumbs nose at existing standards.. Check

    Likely to fail.. Most definitely a check

  2. Jumping through Hoops? on Adobe Acrobat Toolbar Worse than Malware? · · Score: 1

    So would you say that Acrobat makes you jump through hoops or bend over backwards to uninstall their toolbar? Ahem.. yes, its a very bad joke.

  3. I recommend listening to the MP3 recording instead on Mozilla Foundation Chief Mitchell Baker Replies · · Score: 2, Informative

    The transcript has numerous error in transcription that actually change what Mitchell says, so please instead hear her actual words.

  4. New Glasses for Viewing... on Lucas To Redo Star Wars In 3-D · · Score: 1

    Oh Ya, Lucas forgot to mention that he has full rights to the new 3-D glasses to be used. Each one will be priced a low,low price of $199.95.

  5. Losing to another version... on Windows XP Starter Edition off to Slow Start · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's called Windows XP Asian Street Corner Edition. Available either free or next to nothing in most metropolitan street corners in Asia.

  6. The Sad Fate of SuperHeroine Movies on Joss Whedon to Write/Direct Wonder Woman · · Score: 1

    Must they all suck? I remember Supergirl (1984) and I didn't even bother to watch Catwoman due to horrid reviews. Let's hope this breaks the trend...

  7. MMMM. Mexican Food! on Saturn's Moon Enceladus Has an Atmosphere · · Score: 3, Funny

    Homer: Mmmmmm.... Moon Enchiladas.

    Comic Book Guy: For your information, my corpulent comrade, it's "Enceladus," who in Greek mythology was a giant who was defeated in battle and buried under Mount Etna by Athena.

  8. Typical Opera "Soap Opera" on Opera Lays Down Acid2 Challenge · · Score: 1

    We should all realize this is typical Opera behavior: Make broad claims against Microsoft in order to attract attention to itself. Works well in politics and now in browser wars...

  9. Microsoft Responds... on Apple Developing Two-Button Mouse · · Score: 2, Funny

    In other news, Apple also announced a future mouse using six buttons. Steve Jobs was quoted a saying, "We want to be ahead of the curve, since we screwed up last time and waited 20 years before catching up with other 2-button mice. Besides, we want to anticipate demand when humans grow an extra finger approximately half a million years from now.."

    Microsoft has already responded by announcing a 10-button mouse, though speculation is that it will be released too late, when humans no longer require limbs and already have started using brain waves to control the world.

  10. Re:If you are using Firefox, you won't need to use on IE Vulnerable to Cross-Browser Spyware Attack · · Score: 2

    I stand corrected.

  11. If you are using Firefox, you won't need to use IE on IE Vulnerable to Cross-Browser Spyware Attack · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Moot point. If you are a Firefox user, you most likely don't give a rat's ass what happens to IE anyways.

  12. Ready for Their Close-Up on The Return of Wallace and Gromit · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wallace: Cheeeeeese!! Gromit: [Shrug with Upturned Eyebrow]

  13. The end.. on Star Wars Episode 3 PG-13? · · Score: 1

    Use the fork Luke... this series is done.

  14. The Star Trek Angle... on Google Punishes Self for Cloaking · · Score: 1

    Google was just playing Klingon to Microsoft's Borg...

  15. Next Match... on Arm Wrestling Robots Beaten By A Teenage Girl · · Score: 1

    To really draw interest, they should organize matches between women and other types of polymer-based artificial extremities commonly available in shady stores emblazened with neon lights...

  16. AOL already has a free Webmail service... on AOL Plans to Offer Free Webmail · · Score: 1

    It's called Netscape Webmail and it sucks even more than AOL's own service. Yes, they upped the storage limit to 500mb, but the interface is still so late 90's. Alas, in desperate attempts to get something to stick, AOL seems to be releasing two or three versions of every service, all which compete against each other... Netscape browser vs AOL Browser; Winamp vs AOL Media Player; AOL vs Netscape Online vs Compuserve; Radio@Netscape vs Radio@AOL Poor AOL, it has multiple personality disorder.
