Who cares if the video of snapping a Samsung phone in half is real or not? Even if a rival company paid to have that spot made and distributed, it HAD to come from somewhere. Samsung says it was rigged, but they didn't just invent the fact the phone is cheap. It was probably based on complaints and testing. If it was completely made up, it wouldn't rise in popularity. It's like stereotypes - you might not like them, but there's SOME basis in fact. Or else it would never catch on.
What if someone whose Samsung phone broke made that video versus a rival company making it. Would it matter? I don't think so. Because again, SOMEONE had to have problems with that phone breaking. Whether a rival company made and paid for it or the pissed off consumer did it for free, I don't think it matters...
People get mad about not knowing when they're being advertised to. They shouldn't. Everyone has agendas. Do your research and listen to more than one source.
Here's my idea... Someone should create a program that will go through a user's e-mail box on MySpace and back everything up. The program could also make MySpace's e-mail system better. Kinda like a front end for it...

In an 8 hour day, this is just under 30,000 pictures a day per employee.
I pretty much do this now in my free time. Might as well get paid for it...
If You drive them to a pay link then most will just pass on the vid.
It does not cost money to watch videos on Lulu. Only to contribute. (and I think you can actually contribute for free, but if you want to make money (if you want to be part of the co-op) then you have to pay).
"...you could just upload and watch movies for free on Google, You-Tube, etc."
You can watch videos for free on Lulu. You have to pay if you want to be a contributor. So why would you want to pay to contribute when you can contribute for free on YouTube and Google? Because those sites don't pay you money based on the share of audience you've attracted.
I believe the increase in the size of storms on Jupiter is due to global warming, caused by an increased release of greenhouse gases from fuel hungry aliens driving around in their gas guzzling Sports Utility Spaceships (SUSs).
Geez, first we had the "i" prefix invade everything Internet/tech related (such as iPod and iMac). Now we have the "double i" in the middle, such as "Wii" and Intel's "Viiv".
If Apple's move to Intel has the effect of increasing Apple's market share expect Microsoft to withdraw Microsoft Office.
Why? Microsoft makes money on Office for Mac.
Everyone who buys a Mac is a lost sale of Windows for Microsoft. But Microsoft still has a chance to make a profit by selling Office to that Mac user. Why would they want to lose a Windows sale AND an Office sale? The profit to Microsoft for a Mac user buying Office retail is probably greater than the profit from an OEM copy of Windows anyway.
There's no way Time Warner's cable system will change its name to Adelphia after all the scandal and bankruptcy that rocked Adelphia in the first place. They'll come up with a completely new name.
"When your commercials come on, I will either watch them -- the first couple of times -- or else I will converse with my wife, go to the bathroom, check my email, or grab a snack from the kitchen."
If you're posting on Slashdot, there's a good chance you're going to do the latter.
At first I thought you pointed your camera phone at the graffiti, took a picture, sent the picture to a special address, and got some content back. Now that would be kinda cool. Some type of picture recognition thing...
"Volcanoes of the Deep Sea," an underwater epic about the bizarre creatures that flourish in the hot, sulfurous emanations from vents in the ocean floor.'"
Um, I am a relgious fundamentalist and I'm having a hard time seeing how this particular film would be controversial... Please don't tell me it's supposed to have anything to do with Hell.
This analogy sucks. The correct analogy would be akin to this person buying a car and driving straight into the middle of the highway and expecting not to be hit by another motorist.
So does the "Mac car" magically push the traffic out of the way?:)

Wow, amazing how much power Apple has to just decide they're going to switch chip makers and therefore crush a company.
The suit, which Patterson wants certified as a class-action, seeks compensation for unspecified damages and upgrades that will make iPods safer.
Apple has made upgrades. It's called ADJUSTABLE VOLUME.

Wow, only on Slashdot would that be considered "Funny". We are dorks.
I'm adding that to my list of things to do before I'm 30.
Why do I need Windows to listen to Internet radio? Gay.
Only a patent filing by Apple could launch over 500 comments on Slashdot...

HD content was never mandated. What was mandated was broadcast stations switching to a digital signal. Digital != HD.
The public is already confused about this, but I figured the Slashdot crowd would understand the distinction.
Happy April Fool's Day!

I don't think Apple is trying to compete with Microsoft on that front yet. Sony is with its Playstation line.
Oh, good, we need more of those.

But how do they taste?
