  1. Santa on Hacking Santa · · Score: 2, Funny

    Awesome! Just what you can expect from a real Santa!

  2. Fraud on eBay Slammed Over Levels of Fraud · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You would think that by the nature of the business, Ebay would be better prepared to handle this type of thing. I have never been defrauded by the website as I don't buy anything from it for that very reason.

  3. Wow on Google, Microsoft, Sun to Fund New Internet Lab · · Score: 1

    All I can say is WOW. I would have never guessed that MS and Google would be teaming up to complete ANY task.

  4. Banks on Korean Banks Forced to Compensate Hacking Victims · · Score: 1

    I think this is a good move. Although I don't care much about Korea, people who have become victims should be compensated by companies who can write that crap off.

  5. Hmm on DirectTV to Pay $5.4M in Privacy Fines · · Score: 1

    And I thought the Do Not Call list was a joke because nothing had really taken place since it's inception.

  6. OS on Torvalds Says 'Use KDE' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How about this? Use whatever makes you happy? Only users that have no idea on the installation of a Window Manager shouldn't have the right to choose.

  7. Distruct on This Text Message Will Self Destruct · · Score: 2, Funny

    Excellent! No more waking up in the morning feeling guilty that someone might have some incriminating evidence on you while text messaging drunk! I see the definate benefits!

  8. Wow on The 3 Billion Dollar Typo · · Score: 1

    Now why isn't I can't get in on something like that? Man, just think how much money you would make!

  9. .NET on Building Intelligent .NET Applications · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Intelligent .NET applications... Is that an overstatement? We have some .NET applications at work and although some work pretty well, they are always fixing them.

  10. MS on South Korea Fines Microsoft $32 Million · · Score: 1

    And so it begins. Others will follow in the suit. I do feel somewhat sorry, though, because it is MS software and they can do what they please. Company's need to contribute more to the OS market.

  11. Google on Google Fixes IE Bug · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Way to go Google. Fix issues that Microsoft would fail to address in a timely manor.

  12. Re:Patents are force on Blackberry Maker Facing Infringement Case In U.K. · · Score: 1

    Couldn't have been said any better. I agree with your statements 100%. I was actually born and raised in the community were RIM is located and I feel a little let down that a company can collect on someone elses hard work. Patents need to be re-evaluated because one could patent anything and the idea will eventually become reality and they will collect.

  13. Flaw on Trojan Exploits Unpatched IE Flaw · · Score: 1

    One could make updating IE a full time job. It's rather annoying that you have to worry about this type of thing while browsing the internet.

  14. Advertising on 2005 The Turning Point For Online Ads · · Score: 1

    The way things are shaping up on the internet, it's no surprise that people are going to utilize the available traffic for benefit. Online advertising is and will become and even bigger industry.

  15. Ray on Is SETI a Security Risk? · · Score: 1

    I fear the alien death ray!

  16. Microsoft on Microsoft Loses $126 Per Unit on XBox 360 · · Score: 1

    That's a lot of money to be lost on a console. Hopefully they don't continue with problems or they're not going to sell.

  17. Code on How To Write Unmaintainable Code · · Score: 1

    I think everyone at Microsoft has been given the ability to write unmanageable code. Everyone can learn from them. :)

  18. Intel on Dell Finally Goes for AMD · · Score: 1

    Of course it had to happen sometime, and unfortunately for Intel, this is a big happen. It's great to see AMD's impact on the market.

  19. Sales on Apple iTunes to End Flat Fee Pricing? · · Score: 1

    Wow, only 4.9%? I would have thought that number would be a lot higher.

  20. Spam on British Spammer Gets 6 Years · · Score: 0, Troll

    Hopefully, this will strike some fear into spammers and some of the spam will be reduced!

  21. MS on Microsoft Announces CableCARD Support · · Score: 1

    There will be issues, as you can imagine!

  22. US on US Keeps Control of the Internet · · Score: 1

    Good win for the US. Who knows where the control could have went.

  23. AMD on Cray Supercomputers to be Based on AMD Opterons · · Score: 1

    Wow. Go AMD. They're definitely have a huge impact on the market. Intel needs to get back in gear.

  24. Analytics on Google Launches Web Traffic Analysis Service · · Score: 1

    Wow, this seems like an interesting service. Knowing how Google is, they probably thought of everything. Look forward to using it!

  25. Spyware on Three Companies Shut Down For Spyware Bundling · · Score: 1, Redundant

    It's about time some of these companies are shut down. There is no real value in spyware!
