  1. Re:Nice, however.. on The Next Phase of Intelligent TVs Will Observe You · · Score: 1

    With the bodbug, what's its interface to your PC/Phone? Could you reverse engineer it?

  2. Re:Horrible link... on What's Killing Your Wi-Fi? · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Price way too high on Motorola's XOOM Tablet To Cost $799; Wi-Fi Requires 3G Activation? · · Score: 1

    Try a rooted Barnes & Noble Nook. $250 - mine's currently running Honeycomb tethered to my phone for connectivity.

  4. Re:Lovely. on GOG.com Not Really Gone · · Score: 1

    they don't have this level of open contempt for their customers (yet)

    Ever tried asking for a refund from Steam?

  5. Re:Good Example: GTA4 on Tensions Rise Between Gamers and Game Companies Over DRM · · Score: 1

    As far as I know, Steam recently removed the Rockstar Social component from their version of GTA4.

  6. Pity. on BFG Tech Sending Out RMA Denial Letters, 'Winding Down Business' · · Score: 1

    So that leaves XFX and EVGA to duke it out.

  7. Re:Dirty Apple tricks w MacBook chargers.... on Hardware Hackers Reveal Apple's Charger Secrets · · Score: 1

    This is probably to allow some smarts on both sides - IIRC the 85W charger is the Macbook Pro charger, but it can also work with the standard Macbook.

  8. Re:wired? Don't bother. on Why Intel Wants To Network Your Clothes Dryer · · Score: 1

    Hey. I couldn't find a way to contact you but I'm interested in your use of Zigbees - the site you linked seems to only sell to utility companies (?)

  9. De ja vu on F.E.A.R. 3 Announced For This Fall · · Score: 1

    Poor Monolith, first the whole drama with FEAR 2/Project Origin, and now this.

  10. Re:I'll follow them here too. :D on Microsoft's CoApp To Help OSS Development, Deployment · · Score: 1

    Please, please, please, please make it easy to roll a python app into an MSI.

  11. Re:the cloud? on Ubuntu One Gets iPhone App For Contact Sync · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly, this is a layer on top of a SyncML server - install one on a local box and you'll have the syncing you want.

  12. Re:futile..! on New Litigation Targets 20,000 BitTorrent-Using Downloaders · · Score: 1

    From what I remember, Bittorrent usage over TOR routinely cripples exit notes until they block the traffic. Leave TOR for the people who really need it.

  13. Re:Why are banks wasting effort on things like thi on Can Ubuntu Save Online Banking? · · Score: 1

    http://www.abc.net.au/tv/newinventors/txt/s2622746.htm Finally, something smart out of Australia!

  14. Re:Another Reason to Love My Employer on Who Should Own Your Smartphone? · · Score: 1

    So what usage have you seen among your co-workers? Are they "responsible"?

  15. Re:f1rst p0st on Ubuntu's "Lucid Lynx" Enters Beta · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is possibly more insightful than it seems. Canonical seem to be pushing more and more in their own direction, rather than anything the Ubuntu community does. This is good for Ubuntu, but potentially bad for users as more and more changes are made to the GNOME interface, the browser etc etc.

  16. Re:Fox Sunday/Friday victims of the early 2000s on Details Emerge On Futurama's "Rebirth" (and Return) · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly sure the networks in other countries killed it in the same way. I never quite know which episode they're going to show in Australia.

  17. Re:HTML5 Video on Wikipedia's Assault On Patent-Encumbered Codecs · · Score: 1

    Did you actually try Fennec on the N900? It's horrific.

  18. Re:I will never pay for DLC on BioShock 2's First DLC Already On Disc · · Score: 1

    I bought the game this time. I won't make that mistake again.

  19. Re:Pop Ups on Window Pain · · Score: 1

    Valve's viral marketing does not require additional help.

  20. Re:The top hit on Google... on Schooling Microsoft On Random Browser Selection · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it's worth it in this case to let the top site know that their information isn't great.

  21. Report data with less crap on BlackBerry Bold Tops Radiation Ranking · · Score: 1
  22. Re:Unclear point on Aussie Film Industry Appeals ISP Copyright Case · · Score: 1

    Which is why I still like Australia.

  23. Re:Bring back compact mode! on Steam UI Update Beta Drops IE Rendering For WebKit · · Score: 1

    *Now* is the time to tell Valve about it - on the forums they've set up for the beta.

  24. Re:Interestingly... on Twitter Hit By BZPharma LOL Phishing Attack · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Worth reporting to Mozilla/Google?

  25. Re:Sandisk suck on Quality Concerns For Kingston microSD Cards · · Score: 1

    In the latest U3 drives it's actually a separate thing controlled by SCSI commands.
