  1. One Button on Google Unveils Self-Driving Car With No Steering Wheel · · Score: 2

    The final production version will feature a single "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.

  2. Re:175 isn't quite hot enough on Interview: Alan Adler Answers Your Questions About Coffee and Throwing Objects · · Score: 2

    Perhaps you can combine that with a preheated Joulie: http://www.joulies.com./ You could also dilute with hotter water, just don't use it to brew the concentrate.

  3. They will catch up eventually... on MS Global Strategy Chief: Tablets Are a Fad · · Score: 1

    Just like they did with Internet Explorer. All they have to do is give away tablets for free until the competition goes bankrupt.

  4. Re:Have been prepaid for years now on How the iPhone Led To the Sale of T-Mobile · · Score: 1

    You should check out Virgin Mobile. My wife and I just switched over from AT&T a few months ago. Our Android phones are on an unlimited data/text plan with 300 minutes for $25 per month (per phone). The network is Sprint, and our coverage has been much better than we had with AT&T. Best of all, there is no contract.

  5. Devil's Advocate on HBO Attacking BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    That which costs little is less valued. Just imagine if the same thing had happened to the Firefly DVDs. We probably would not have the gift of Serenity. That being said, I have no reservations about downloading crap that I would not have paid for in the first place.

  6. A Very Moot Invention on Microsoft Invents A 'Play-Once Only' DVD · · Score: 1

    I recently saw the power of the Comcast DVR and On Demand setup, and it is indeed frightening. This technology will most likely replace traditional DVD rentals as well as all other subscription DVRs. It has all of the advantages of Microsoft's proposed distribution method, with none of the waste and potential piracy. Customers get the movies that they want with none of the waiting. I could be wrong, but I also have not yet heard of anyone pirating the Comcast On Demand shows. It seems to me that the Comcast way would please both consumers and the entertainment industry. Eventually, this distribution method might even start to resemble iTunes, as DRM would be very easy to manage. As hard as it is to say being a proud Tivo owner and Netflix subscriber, I like the way Comcast (and others like them) are heading. The only major hurdle I foresee is the cost, but I guess the market will decide that.

  7. Time to Get Rich? on Airport Screeners could see X-rated X-rays · · Score: 1

    It looks like now would be an excellent time to invest in a company that sells anti-Superman jogging suits (i.e. lead-lined clothing).
