  1. Re:Wait... on Subscription-Based 'Hulu Plus' Is Now Official · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Wait... on Subscription-Based 'Hulu Plus' Is Now Official · · Score: 1
    I would wager that it is better than torrents.

    Convenience: hulu plus allows watching on the ipad/iphone/ps3/xbox360/internet enabled samsung blu-ray players and tv. Video starts immediately with a small buffering time. Torrents require you to finish your download and plan your watching ahead of time.
    Price: $10, torrents win at free (but you have the risk of getting an MPAA letter) Quality: 720p HD streams with hulu plus. I would say that with compression they are probably on the level of the divx streams available on torrents.

    What would you say would make hulu beat torrents in your opinion? make it cheaper? no ads? seems like it'd be more expensive than your liking... making content costs money.

    oh, and i guess it isn't mentioned in the summary, but the port that intel is working on is for 2.2. (but it is mentioned in the article, as well as android-x86)

  6. Re:Is it just me? on Developers' New Opportunity — Retailers' Open APIs · · Score: 2, Informative
    I assume they would embed them into existing applications.

    Let's say I have an app to look up movie times. I could check to see if the movie soundtrack is for sale on amazon.

    Or maybe one of those barcode scanner apps. You could then immediately purchase from the app itself.

  7. Re:I'd rather hear about a next gen console on Project Natal Renamed 'Kinect' · · Score: 2, Informative

    DRM on console doesn't impede normal or expected usage of the game on a console

  9. Re:theories on how guitars with strings will work on Rock Band 3 To Include MIDI Keyboard · · Score: 1

    How will it detect different notes? It can't just be a simple mapping of one string to one color, because then the fretboard becomes useless. Maybe there are sensors in the fretboard?

  10. theories on how guitars with strings will work on Rock Band 3 To Include MIDI Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Please post them. I'm curious how it will register the notes without constantly making sure the guitar is perfectly in tune? Robotic autotuning?

    FTFA, Nero claims that MPEG-LA has not abided by the license and changed it's policies against what there was previously written agreement of.

  13. Re:This was the ONLY episode I watched on Lost Ends · · Score: 1

    because of what christian said as well as a lot of other characters' dialogue, you know that the island was not purgatory. They all died at different times and not all at the same time on the plane.

    Wouldn't you want your swap space to be stored on the faster SSD rather than the slower spinning media?

  15. Re:Correlation is not causation on Justice Not As Blind As Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    Even if they do (which I'm not sure of), I don't think that factors into this. I assume the percentages are based on respective party's amount of crime.

  16. this doesn't happen to me on Chrome Private Mode Not Quite Private · · Score: 4, Interesting
    tried it in 5.0.375.38 beta. my hypothesis is that he had other incognito windows open as well (probably with porn in them) that kept the incognito session going while he was open and closing the elephants.com window.

    all incognito windows share the same session

  17. Re:Nice try on Google Stops Selling Its Own Phone · · Score: 4, Informative

    if you pay full price, you could get $20 / month off the t-mobile plans for people who are not on 2 year contracts, that worked out to be less than getting the 2 year plan over 2 years. i think they didn't advertise that well enough.

  18. Re:1 big bit vs many many little bits on Call In the Military To Blast Rogue Satellite? · · Score: 2, Informative

    many little bits have much more surface area which increases friction to cause it to fall to Earth much quicker and have a much much higher chance of burning up completely on the way down.

  19. does this fix flash sandboxing? on Looking At Google's Flashified Chrome · · Score: 1

    previously plugins were not sandboxed, meaning that both regular and incognitos windows using flash shared the same flash cookies and cache. is this fixed with integrated flash?

  21. Re:How does this work? Native or links to java? on Firefox Arrives On Android · · Score: 1

    Maybe certain libraries were ported over using the NDK or just ported to java, but I doubt any porting of the front end was done. It was probably just a new browser written for android with Mozilla vision, not a port of the desktop version.
