  1. RIM on AppleBerry Predicted? · · Score: 1

    Wow, what a partnership for RIM. RIM would gain another chunk of the market share.

  2. DMCA on Death By DMCA · · Score: 1

    Wow. I'm much more of a fan now... NOT. This is almost as bad as the patent office.

  3. PB on The Pirate Bay Is Back Online · · Score: 1

    This is interesting because when a raid happens, aren't the owners of the sites typically taken too? How did the site get reestablished?

  4. Firefox on Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4 Released · · Score: 1

    When they fix the Windows Media Player plugin for the MacBook (Intel) then I'll be impressed.

  5. ATI on AMD-ATI Merger on the Way? · · Score: 1

    It depends on the value that AMD can bring to ATI. ATI was a great card and has since declined. AMD could change that around and save money on the buyout and gain some technology.

  6. Online on Two-Tier Internet & The End of Freedom of Speech · · Score: 1

    I can almost gaurentee that this will pass. Reason being is that one can't hamper online speech as much as they can speech in reality.

  7. Re:NAS on A Look at FreeNAS Server · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure how this would operate vs. a web server but I can only speculate that it would operate in some what of he same manor and if that is the case, then serving up any files is very CPU intensive. I had a video site that would die under any type of medium load. Of course, we're talking about 200-300 people at a time, but 20-30, but the idea is still relative.

  8. NAS on A Look at FreeNAS Server · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Would a NAS device not require some pretty good processing power under a bit of a load? I know of course it would be scalable based on the usage, but still, the notion that it runs on 'any old system' wouldn't be entirely true.

  9. Automation on Freshman MIT Students Automate Dorm Room · · Score: 1

    I want to install some automation devices in my new house. I'll be seeing what I can take from this article. ;)

  10. Rover on Mars Rover Upgraded · · Score: 1

    That's pretty interesting. Wonder how they would do that?

  11. Myspace on Teens Arrested in MySpace Extortion Scam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And so it begins. Myspace will be the next online target such as the gambling sites were a couple years ago.

  12. MS on Microsoft in Talks To Acquire Ebay · · Score: 1

    Man, MS is just trying to get a hold of a bunch of new business areas. Does anyone feel they should just stick to what has made them what they are? Windows? I mean, Vista needs to be secure, stable and highly functional. Work on that.

  13. MS on Who Will Join Microsoft in the Portal Wars? · · Score: 1

    Bring on AOL! :)

  14. Inventions on Steve Wozniak Honors Innovative Inventors · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm down with the dog clipping invention. Man, has anyone hit the dogs skin under the nail? That thing bleeds FOREVER.

  15. Vista on Windows Vista - Not So Bad? · · Score: 1

    You know, it won't be so bad. Once they get some feedback on the system it'll turn out fine. I don't think Windows will allow a totally defunct product to be released.

  16. MS on Vista Beta 2 has Major Problems · · Score: 1

    As much as I don't care how this operating system does, I have to say; who cares if it had problems? It's a damn BETA of a system that was completely overhauled. It's not like a little application that might have some mis-typed words. This is a whole operating system. BETA testing is part of the process. Deal with it.

  17. .MOBI on .Mobi Could Spur Wireless Web · · Score: 1

    I agree with the comment about .mobi vs. .mob but I don't browse the internet using my cell phone enough to care. .Com still works for me.

  18. Bush on Zimmermann, Encrypted VoIP, and Uncle Sam · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Yeah, the Bush Administration hates this... No more spying!

  19. NSA on Wired Releases Full Text of AT&T NSA Document · · Score: 1

    And so it begins. As more information becomes available, more people are going to request disclosure.

  20. NSA on NSA Chose Invasive Phone Analysis Option · · Score: 1

    You know, I have to give them credit for trying to step around the laws, but man, that definitely hurts this investigation.

  21. GBook on Google: The Missing Manual, Second Edition · · Score: 0

    I would think this would be a good read. Could add some insight to some new ways of utilizing some of Googles services.

  22. Re:I knew this would eventually happen. on Google Releases AJAX Framework · · Score: 1

    It's going to be interesting what ideas for new web development will come of this. I'm excited to see the next new thing.

  23. Skype on Skype Offering SkypeOut Service for Free · · Score: 1

    Great move on Skype's part in trying to increase market share... Wait... Don't they already own that market?

  24. Phishing on People Suck at Spotting Phishing · · Score: 1

    What's not taken into consideration is that the majority of people using the internet do not know much about computers. More so, I think it's funny that people can't spot phishing based on the URL that is displayed before clicking in the status bar. It doesn't take much common sense to know that the a URL from www.blah.com/html is not the same as the bank they visit on a daily basis of www.mybank.com.

  25. Choke on HD Video Could 'Choke the Internet'? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't spam account for most of the internet traffic? I'd be more concerned about that before HD.
