  1. RSS feed.... on Use Google Earth To Track Santa · · Score: 1

    I've already subscribed to the googleblog rss feed. /. doesn't need to act like one rss reader for google blog.

  2. Re:Very useful, but... on Free OpenOffice.org Training Videos · · Score: 1

    So what do you expect of the them, to wait till they fix it and then release it.
    I'm sorry to say that doesn't happen. It's the way open source works.
    Open source application development is an ongoing process where the whole community contributes and overtime we have a nice working version.
    And by releasing the videos, even if they can get a small number of users. It'll be useful, it'll be useful for Open office, for the user and for the open source community.

  3. Who cares? on Xbox 360 Backward Compatibility Finalized · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why care about backwards compatiblity et'all.
    If i'm goin to buy a xbox 360 then i'll go for the new titles they are bringing. When you buy a next gen console then y go for some old games which won't put the new hardware to ne good use.
    And if i already own a lot of xbox games then i'll simply plug in my old xbox and be happy playing them.

  4. what about GOOG on Official BitTorrent Search Opens · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I wonder how the BT search is better than good old google search with filetype as .torrent.
    If what the BT search enging does is simply crawl the web and index sites with .torrent files than... that's what google has been doing for yrs.

    Same stuff with a new packaging...

  5. How about combining it with a cellphone?? on A Cheap and Portable Word Processor? · · Score: 1

    Combining simple word processor functionality with cellphones might not be a bad idea. I think cellphones are the only devices which people don't want to forget when they leave home. That is..now everybody carries them.
    With this u can read your fav eBook on your cell whenever you have a little spare time. That might be a bus stop ,train or even loo.

  6. Re:It was just a .com trying to legitimize.... on Time Warner to Spin Off AOL? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    it was not a matter of getting legitimate but how a corporation needs to change with time. innovation is the key for a company. either you change the world or the world changes you. aol didn't do it and paid for it.

  7. Re:There is still a problem ... on Microsoft to Introduce Faster Security Disclosures · · Score: 1

    Once a security flaw is detected u never know how much time it'll take to address it. That is to release the necessary patch for it. So if a threat is detected by MS's own engineers it makes sense to not make it public coz it might not be possible to counter that flaw without a patch rather than making it public and falling prey to the hackers who might try to abuse that flaw.

  8. Re:Why is he so upset? on Gates on Google · · Score: 1

    Not only users are going to Google but lately many core developers from MS have joined Google. And now the fad among engineers is that the coolest place to work is Google and not MS which used to be a few years back. So, now google gets the best of the breed both in terms of expierence and new talent. And as google has shown in the past it keeps on innovating, rolling out new, innovative ideas every time. So it seems a obvious strategy for google powered with many experienced MS brains and best new brains to try and build some really gr8 desktop apps which, not now, but may be 5 years down the lane threaten the monopoly on MS on people's desktop.

  9. Re:out of hand on ATI Announces 512MB Graphics Card · · Score: 1

    The point is not being able to do "most" of your work but its the remaining 5 % which gamers like me die for. If you just want a comp which can do your office work efficienly than ofcourse your config is more than enough. But for a next generation game enthusiast that doesn't work. As far as the cost is concerned, yes, it's a bit foolish to spend 500 bucks every six months but once in a while upgrade is definitely worth it.

  10. Re:How? on John Dvorak Hypes Skype · · Score: 1

    protocol is proprietary and only Skype knows how it works. it bypasses all NAT's Firewalls and everything u put in between without your even knowing it. What else the end user wants or should i say skyper.
