  1. Who wants to wear glasses to watch TV? on Huge Shocker — 3D TVs Not Selling · · Score: 1

    Absolutely no one, that's who!

  2. How about a maximum cell bill amount, say $500.00? on FCC Will Tackle Cell Phone 'Bill Shock' · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Have all cell phone bills max out at $500.00 PERIOD.

    If you are dumb enough to go to that limit, so be it, but at least you KNOW what your maximum bill will be.

    Then, you can text with reckless abandon!

  3. If you've got nothing to hide, then you don't have on Careful What You Post, the FBI Has More of These · · Score: 1

    anything interesting going on in your life.

    Why not just track people with their GPS-enabled cell phones? Might be a lot less hassle and you even get their actual conversations!
    I'm just sayin'....

  4. People may say OSX 10.7 has a codename Cheetah... on 'Back To the Mac' Media Event On October 20th · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...but everyone knows they're Lion.

  5. Blocked Jobs on Apple Awarded Anti-Sexting Patent · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Steve Jobs can no longer text his own name due to his own pet-peeves.

    He will now be know as Steve Jahbs.

  6. My God, it's full of stars! on Milky Way Is Square(ish), According To New Map · · Score: 1

    Honestly, looks more like a circle/square - an Octagon to me.

    But hey, I am not 100,000 light years away to make that kind of judgement.

    Here is a nice photo of the Milky Way just for fun...

  7. Re:They should've asked the Chinese straight away on Feds Discover 1,000 More Government Data Centers · · Score: 1

  8. The other 1000 Datacenters were found... on Feds Discover 1,000 More Government Data Centers · · Score: 1

    ...underneath the Carribbean Sea built amongst the lost City of Atlantis.

    Seriously, how could the US Government NOT know about or keep track of their own infrastructure and resources??? ;-)

  9. Free Public Wi-Fi on Researchers Test WiFi Access From Moving Vehicles · · Score: 1
  10. Too little, too late on NY Times Confident of 'First Click Free' Paywalls · · Score: 1

    NYTimes should ditch the paywall for more ads, it is the only way to make money unless you give them something truly useful and unique for a subscription.
    People can just use www.bugmenot.com to get around logins.

  11. facebook: what an incredible waste of time on Facebook Introduces One-Time Passwords · · Score: 1

    Hurry! I need my password to I can login and complain about my miserable life and post pictures from the bar celebrating my miserable life!

    Whatever did people do before facebook? Oh yeah, they actually talked to people face-to-face and spent 'quality time' in full 3-D social interaction.

  12. Video evidence? on Erasing Objects From Video In Real Time · · Score: 1

    It is impressive, but not perfect...you can see shadowing and the outlines of the object when the camera moves in certain angles.

    Also, if there is video evidence presented in a courtroom, people should be aware that technology like this exists and it can and will be used.

  13. Ground Control to Major Tom? on Baumgartner's Daredevil Parachute Jump From Space Put On Hold · · Score: 2, Insightful

    FTA: Hogan claims the daredevil stunt would be worth $375 million to $625 million in advertising to any corporate sponsor.
    If this type of lawsuit was as prevalent in the past, NOTHING would be accomplished.
    Again, science and innovation are stifled by simple, unabashed greed.

  14. Another security article boils down to one thing.. on Cyber-criminals Targeting Online Gaming Websites · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...keep your Anti-Virus software updated and running at all times.

  15. Annoying Xerox ad cuts InfoWorld off at the knees on Oracle's Newest Move To Undermine Android · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well I was going to read about this, but all of a sudden some Xerox jerk comes along and spills papers everywhere blocking the text of the article.

    I got so annoyed I just left...thanks InfoWorld/Xerox!

  16. Bacteria for Congress on Gambling On Bacteria · · Score: 1

    "Understanding bacteria's reactions to stressful and hazardous conditions may improve decision-making processes in any human arena from everyday life to political elections."

    Bacteria: Finally, a candidate who tells the truth, never flip-flops, and can really get stuff done!

  17. I was cured all right... on Survey Shows How Stupid People Are With Passwords · · Score: 1

    FTA: "Smarten up, folks. It's really not so hard to setup some solid password practices. Again, since most of our readers don't really fall in this category, at least try to open the eyes of those around you."

    Are we talking 'A Clockwork Orange' style?
    Otherwise, I don't think anything can help.

  18. Indiana Jones-Inspired Intruder Alert! on Robots Guarding US Nuclear Stockpiles In Nevada · · Score: 1

    This is an excellent idea, until someone builds an army of mobile refrigerators with gun turrets.

    Then, NOTHING will be able to stop them! Not even accidental detonations!

  19. Guess he never saw the Creation museum... on Pope Says Technology Causes Confusion Between Reality and Fiction · · Score: 2, Funny

    Talk about confusion! Dinosaurs walking with people, Noah's Ark, a walk through Biblical History...I can't figure out WHO is telling the truth! http://creationmuseum.org/whats-here/exhibits/

  20. Buddhists are geniuses on Computer Defeats Human At Japanese Chess · · Score: 1

    FTA: "Akara is apparently a Buddhist term meaning 10^224"

    I never knew those Buddhists were secretly genius mathematicians with specific words for abstract numbers.

  21. What do you call a lawyer lookin at a webcam feed? on Lawyer Is Big Winner In Webcamgate Settlement · · Score: 1

    Either a total pervert or a pending lawsuit.

  22. First Fantasy I on Final Fantasy XIV Launches To Scathing Reviews · · Score: 1

    Why not just end the 'Final' title and come up with a new game and name altogether?

    Might steer people away from the inevitable comparisons to the previous 13 versions of the game. Just a thought.

  23. Reckoning on Study Finds Most Would Become Supervillians If Given Powers · · Score: 1

    If you used your superpowers to fight evil, you would probably be called the second-coming of whatever diety is currently worshipped.

    That is just wayyy too much pressure for a mere human.

  24. Finally! on Cybercriminals Shifting To Bugat · · Score: 2, Funny

    After years of inactivity and wondering exactly what is its purpose, I have now discovered a reason to having a profile on LinkedIn.
    Meeting new people, discovering professional contacts and getting viruses!

  25. NELL becomes sentient... on Meet NELL, the Computer That Learns From the Net · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...and turns out to be a dirty old man that is a shopaholic and facebook addict with a petabyte collection of odd digital videos and photos.
