  1. MobileMe? on Thieves Clear Out NJ Apple Store In 31 Seconds · · Score: 0

    What no MobileMe accounts on those stolen iPhones? That would have made for some great PR if they used it to bust a bunch of criminals... Maybe the free trial expired.

  2. Disturbance on CRIA, MPAA Demand Expanded DMCA For Canada · · Score: 1

    I felt a great disturbance in Canada, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly served with Lawsuits.

  3. Duke Nukem... on Earth's Period of Habitability Is Nearly Over · · Score: 2, Funny

    Do you think this gives them enough time to get it out???

  4. If the cat is found guilty... on Man Accuses Cat of Downloading Child Porn · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...will he be sentenced in Cat years?

  5. Shatner... on Is a $72.5m Opening Weekend Enough For Star Trek? · · Score: 1

    I thought the movie was well done, no real complaints... I actually thought it would do a bit more than that. I was it in IMAX and it was out of this world (sorry). I did think that a great way to get Shatner involved in some way would of been to have him read the "Where no man has gone before" schtick at the end of the film...

  6. IBM About To Buy Sun For $7 Billion on IBM About To Buy Sun For $7 Billion · · Score: 5, Funny

    wow that's one hot piece of real estate.... (sorry)

  7. The second robot... on Robot Makes Scientific Discovery (Mostly) On Its Own · · Score: 1

    was named Eve and frequently asked Adam why he spent all his time in the lab wasting his MIT education when he could be making real money and take her somewhere on vacation...

  9. Re:Unfortunately... on Implant Raises Cellular Army To Attack Cancer · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "You can imagine that if 99% of the cells in a tumor do have it, the tumor may be killed by the primed cells, but that 1% that doesn't will repopulate a while later".

    It seems this new treatment, if able to eliminate 99% of said tumor would work well in combination with current treatments like chemo and radiation where you could then use much lower doses to kill the remaining % with less harm to the patient.

  10. Yeah.. on 26 Million Chinese Gamers Online · · Score: 1

    And they're all farming on my server in Wow...

  11. Re:For purposes of consistency... on Stem Cells Restore Feeling In Paraplegic · · Score: 1

    He's not against stem cell research. He's against destroying embryos. Huge difference

    Isn't that like saying i'm not against reproduction, just against sex...

  12. Re:Terrorism Act on London Tube Dangerous for Technophiles? · · Score: 1

    well then it should be pro-some life, and the liberal pro-choice "mob" as you label them really haveit right with the pro-choice thing. I guess rational people just believe that a person has a right to do what they will with their own body AND fetuses and untl the time in that pregnancy comes where abortion is not an option any longer.

    but hey, my party isn't the one that preaches less gov't intrusion into people's lives, that would be the one proposing and passing legislation on how to better roll back people's lives and tell them what is right and wrong...

    ahh crap...this is definitely flamebait..oh well, i got myself all worked up...

  13. Re:Terrorism Act on London Tube Dangerous for Technophiles? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, aint it funny how the terminology changes depending on your side of the debate?

    estate tax vs. the death tax
    pro-choice vs. pro-life (although i find it funny how alot of "pro-lifers" are for the death penalty here in the US)
    and i am sure there are COUNTLESS more examples...just shows how spin and PR really rule the day...

    So, what's the problem? At least now i can combine my 2 largest sources of spam into one!!

  15. Pretty damning... on Activision Accused Of Trying To Kill Off Indie Studio · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If this proves to be true, anywhere near the level of the complaint, i think it will really tarnish Activision's name in the industry when it comes to working with indie development houses (which has been pretty good so far.

    Of course we only have one side as we get the usual corporate response of "we dont comment on pending litigation", but this looks pretty calculating on Activision's side. Hire the developer, feed them BS after they develop a top selling game, make they sign reduced agreements, slowly break them down, have them submit ideas, reject them, then hire away developers and cancel their contract... I am surprised they only sued for $10million...

  16. Re:From a Skype user, on Microsoft to Launch "Skype Killer" · · Score: 1

    For some reason i dont think MS cares too much. I will step out on the ledge and say that MS doesnt much consider marketing it's "niche" products to the /. crowd... The people who rally against these products and MS on this site make up, i dont know, .0001% of their actual target audience. That same target audience who love their MS boxes and software and have no clue as to VoIP or Skype will eat this up as usual.

  17. What's the point... on Capcom May Be Prepping Street Fighter 4 · · Score: 1

    It wont be any fun if i can't cut high school classes to pump my life savings (in quarter form) into that machine...

  19. Re:lmao on The 360's Towering Pricetag Explored · · Score: 3, Insightful

    maybe if they had a package and let you pick 2 games from that list instead of forcing specific titles on you. I am sure i aiwll get the 399 package, and then a game or 2, so i would love a package, i would just want to pick the games...

  20. lmao on The 360's Towering Pricetag Explored · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ...and thats all i have to say about that.

  21. R&D? Remake & Distribute? on EA Banking On The Future · · Score: 2, Interesting

    EA spent $633 million on research and development in fiscal 2005 Ok, then why is it that all we get is "Sims 12: Surfin The Web", and a host of other Great sequals? Do you need to pay $633mm to finally come up with "Oh yeah, we can put out another Battlefield and NEed for Speed". Or is that $633mm spent on buying exclusivity and licenses of established brands?

  22. Launched in a hurry... on PSP Usage Lower Than Expected · · Score: 5, Interesting

    They definitely should of waiting until a larger game library would be available before the launch. I think this is clearly a case of Sony not wanting Nintendo to have an even greater amount of lead time than it had.

    I think Nintendo might win the war on this round of handhelds (yet again). Their games are more fun so far, and with the launch of Nintendogs (which appears annoying to me at first, but it was kinda fun after 5 minutes), it will attract a MUCH larger casual and female gaming audience than the PSP. Thats where i think Sony will lose the war on PSP, they might get more on the hardcore gaming market, but casual and female gamers will make a big difference.

    Not to mention the DS is still about half the price of the PSP...

  24. These are gonna pop up all over the place... on XBox 360 Bundles Top $700 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    People get so freaked out over what is a package at a retailer. It's not like the EB death squads will be coming around to collect your $700 for the evil M$FT!!! Buy the console, get a game or two if you like and relax. These packages are gonna be all over the place, hopefully we are only seeing hysteria because it is more or less the first one out there.. Do you honestly think these packages are gonna make up a large percentage of 360 sales? I really can't see that being the case.

  25. Good for NYC on Lockheed Martin Hardware to Protect NYC Transit · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Lockheed is a quality defense contractor, and they Already do good work in NYC with the NY/NJ Port Authority (bridges and tunnels). So alot of the work probably overlaps in the homeland security realm. Nothing wrong with a keeping things under one umbrella. One less layer of problems to deal with...
