  1. Don't worry, Microsoft is on it on New Alureon Rootkit Takes Malware To New Level · · Score: 3, Informative

    "We're closely monitoring Alureon to ensure that our users are always protected. In fact, Alureon has been part of the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) since April 2007."

    I am putting my full faith and hope in to the Microsoft security team to eliminate it with their latest Malicious Software Removal tool.
    I have given up on being paranoid about viruses, and I am much happier now!

  2. The full range of corporate, I mean, US interests on US To Release International Cyber Strategy Today · · Score: 1

    Clinton's remarks "will address the role of cyberspace in advancing the full range of US interests and the importance of international cooperation in advancing cyberspace as a foreign policy priority."

    The 'full range of US interests' include, but are not limited to, a two-tiered internet, painfully slow transfer speeds, and uncontrolled spying and invasions of privacy.

  3. Lobster for breakfast as a last meal? on Space Shuttle Endeavour Blasts Off On Final Flight · · Score: -1

    3 of the astronauts had lobster for breakfast, maybe they thought it may well be their last meal on Earth?

  4. Re:Uncontrollable global bazaars for contraband... on BitCoin, the Most Dangerous Project Ever? · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Hedge fund managers aren't really producing anything, are they?

  5. Uncontrollable global bazaars for contraband... on BitCoin, the Most Dangerous Project Ever? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Bitcoin is a P2P currency that could topple governments, destabilize economies and create uncontrollable global bazaars for contraband."

    I hate to tell you this, but this has already happened with regular-government issued legal tender.

    Look at druglord Mexico, most 3rd-world countries, and the US with its billion-dollar Wall Street bailouts and ponzi schemes. Bitcoin would be a little late to the game.

  6. ISP now stands for... on Thousands Marched Against Censorship · · Score: 2

    ...Internet Surveillance Protocol

    Watch what you say, or they will be calling you a radical, a liberal, fanatical a CRIMINAL.

  7. Internet Censorship begins with Comcast on No Pirate Bay for Comcast Customers · · Score: -1

    You read it here first.

  8. Apple Patents Keyboard That Uses Tactile Air on Apple Patents Keyboard That Knows What You'll Type · · Score: 1

    But it doesn't know what you are going to type in advance, just when your finger tips are close to the keys you want to physically depress. It then sends back air pressure as a tactile response. There, did that sound as confusing as the original post?

  9. All you need is Glove on Glove Emulates Musical Instruments · · Score: 1

    Watch out! The Glove is really a weapon of the Blue Meanies.

  10. If Windows is torture on Sergey Brin: Windows Is "Torturing Users" · · Score: 1

    90% of the world MUST be masochists.
    But seriously, until someone offers a better, cheaper, and more useful OS than Windows, people will use Windows.

    What do you mean you can't install and configure Linux? What do you mean you don't have $1200 to drop on an Apple macbook?

  11. privacy piracy on Facebook Admits Hiring PR Firm To Smear Google · · Score: 1

    “The American people must be made aware of the now immediate intrusions into their deeply personal lives Google is cataloging and broadcasting every minute of every day-without their permission.”

    Never mind the immediate intrusions that facebook allows by making everything public by default, until you navigate to each individual item's options and raise the security settings to ensure not everyone can see it. But that was 'with your permission' I guess?

    But we at facebook who brag about 'the end of privacy as we know it' want to be the ones to pretend to warn you about your privacy.

  12. Nuclear power by candlelight! on Alabama Nuclear Reactor Gets 'F' Grade · · Score: 1

    "The Browns Ferry Plant is known in the industry as the site where a worker using a candle to check for air leaks in 1974 started a fire that disabled safety systems."

    See? Even high-tech nuclear facilities STILL use candle power to help them run properly.
    ANCIENT POWER TECHNOLOGY for the win!

  13. Simply Amazing ~ Free Energy on New Sunlight Reactor Produces Fuel · · Score: 0

    I find it truly amazing that we can utilize this gigantic ball of burning energy that shows up every single day to help power things on Earth. Why haven't we thought of taking advantage of this abundant, renewable and FREE resource before????

  14. AT&T's motto: Trust Us on Criminal Charges Filed Against AT&T iPad Attacker · · Score: 2

    AT&T has the fastest 4G network....trust us.

    AT&T would NEVER compromise your data...trust us.

  15. US Sanctions once prevented nothing on Google Releases Software To Iran · · Score: 1

    I am sure they didn't prevent anything, people have learned to get around sanctions as a way of life. Like the flow of water, it finds other routes around the sanction dam.

  16. Beating Piracy is easy... on Sony, Universal Hope To Beat Piracy With 'Instant Pop' · · Score: 1, Informative

    Beating piracy is easy. Pay musicians their fair share so they will make music with originality, creativity, and integrity featuring talented musicians using actual instruments without autotuning bad vocals.

    You know, music that people actually want to BUY.

  17. This news is greeted with the loud sound of... on Intel Plans Windows 8 Phones · · Score: 1

    *crickets*

  18. Why is Palin using a Yahoo account? on Palin's E-Mail Hacker Imprisoned Against Judge's Wishes · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Is there something she wants to hide from the public?

  19. Now to use it to win the lottery on Jeopardy-Playing Supercomputer Beats Humans · · Score: 0

    Now that Watson has mastered Jeopardy, let's just see how well it does picking winning Powerball numbers. Or, it could just write my thesis paper and all my applications.

  20. Sue the trailer park while you're at it... on Florida Man Sues WikiLeaks For Scaring Him · · Score: 1

    ...because we all know that trailer parks are liable to cause depression, anxiety, and feelings of desperate isolation.

  21. Apple's core problem on Jimmy Wales Declares App Store Models a Threat · · Score: 1

    Don't download just any app, don't change the OS, don't share your books or music with anyone, and NEVER develop unauthorized software or be ready to be remotely disabled!

    If you don't like it, buy something else!!!

  22. dual battery on Dual-Core Chips Coming To All Smartphones In 2011 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Dual core with a dual battery would be nice

  23. codec nightmare on Ars Thinks Google Takes a Step Backwards For Openness · · Score: 1

    Just come out with one standard codec or include all codecs to every browser...problem solved.

  24. There's no place like home... on Apple May Remove the Home Button On the Next IPad · · Score: 2

    ...but five fingers will work when you are in a pinch. (iPinch?)

  25. Environmental win on Sony Closing 18M CD/Month Plant · · Score: 1

    No more Sony dumping their byproducts into our ecosystem, its a win-win
