  1. Re:Natural thing to do for a business on Apple Rips Off Rejected App, Says Wireless Sync Developer · · Score: 1

    And maybe they would have hired him or bought him out sooner if he hadn't gone to Cydia with it.

  2. meh on Richard Dreyfuss Reads the Apple EULA · · Score: 1

    He should have tried to use the same voice style as he did in the old Apple commercials, rather than this annoying, ambiguous Shakespearean accent voice.

  3. linking to el Reg from /. is Fire+Oxygen on Apple Rips Off Rejected App, Says Wireless Sync Developer · · Score: 1

    Um, the app violated the SDK, which is basically Apple saying "we reserve that stuff for our own core functionality, now or in the future." And the Logo? nope, those are two of Apple's existing logos, and the industry standard for wifi and sync, so sorry college boy, go cry to your fraternity bros.

  4. stupidity still required on Mac Malware Evolves - No Install Password Required · · Score: 1

    Like a total stranger walking up to your door and saying, "here eat this turd." Password or no, only the stupid will fall for this one.

  5. No on Is Canonical the Next Apple? · · Score: 1

    Will a New Holland B95B Tractor Loader Backhoe be the next VW Beetle?

  6. well, they're already saying it everyday in school on Utah To Teach USA is a Republic, Not a Democracy · · Score: 1

    "and to the Republic, for which it stands" and then there's the "under God part" but we can talk about that later.

  7. Re:Fine young cannibals on Why Mobile Innovation Outpaces PC Innovation · · Score: 1

    yes, but not with you, in your pocket.

  8. let him finish his sentence on XML Co-Founder Joins Google, Blasts iPhone · · Score: 1

    "The people who create the apps serve at the landlord's pleasure and fear his anger..." and make a shitload of money.

  9. both on Will You Stream Or Download Your Mobile Music? · · Score: 1

    I'll download it to my computer, then stream it to my iPhone using Simplify.

  10. stupid question on Apple vs. Google, Who Will Control the iPhone? · · Score: 1

    of course Apple will control the iPhone. Google is a search engine company that has written some web apps and a shaky mobile OS, and may have a full OS sometime soon. But they won't control the iPhone. And Apple has every right to make sure of that.

    btw, you mods need to learn how to use the offtopic button a little more.

  11. inaccurate, misleading, incomplete garbage on US Cell Phone Plans Among World's Most Expensive · · Score: 1

    I've lived in the US and in Europe, and you can't compare the plans, use or utility between them. The US is huge, its population is huge, and most urban Americans use their cell as their only line, and they use it alot. 2000min a month is nothing, plus heavy data, You can't compare this to anywhere else. The UK has better rates, but doesn't cover nearly as much area or population. Try driving 30 hours away and make a call home and see how much it costs. In the US it's the same rate as it is if you were at home.

  12. settings... on Tracking a Move Via "Find My iPhone" · · Score: 1

    *switches Find my iPhone off*

  13. In case you're wondering, on Planck Telescope Is Coolest Spacecraft Ever · · Score: 1

    that's colder than a witch's titty (-273.04C).

  14. and security? on The Future Might Be BIOS and Browsers · · Score: 1

    This is a nice idea but they'll never get it secure enough. I think the future is VPN and cloud computing- each with his own cloud. I want a home server that I can access from a remote dumb terminal/thin client. Browsers aren't reliable enough, and web apps are secondary and weak, a step backward. The OS is irrelevant, just a matter of taste. Plus the infrastructure will never support wandering from the current trend as long as there's money to be made.

  15. $29B and layoffs on Apple Rumored To Want To Buy Twitter · · Score: 1

    Apple would be better off taking their money elsewhere,- like inside their own doors. Didn't they just let go of several software teams?

  16. USA #1 on Cablevision To Offer 101 Mbps Down, No Caps · · Score: 0, Troll

    suck it Europe!

  17. Re:And that's why... on Zombie Macs Launch DoS Attack · · Score: 1

    I am a checksum.

  18. The internet is no place to get all moral on Zombie Macs Launch DoS Attack · · Score: 1

    Nobody got what they deserved. The shitheads who dl'd the trojan don't even notice it, which is why it works. Random people with bad luck are the ones who will notice it, and they didn't deserve it.

    I often thought Adobe and the other popular hack targets should take an approach like this to discourage illegal dling, even though I don't care if they do or not, as I'm also a pirate from time to time. It would be the best way to thwart, if there were direct consequences, like a trojan that trashed the pirate machine. But this is totally displaced here, not that it's Adobe or Apple doing it.

    And this has nothing to do with the OS, btw. Not that I care about that either.

  19. Re:Why not just block their ads? on Adbusters Suggests Click Fraud As Protest · · Score: 1

    same here. I just though "oh yeah, ads online, haven't seen em for a while".

    um, looks like the latest Macbook isn't up to spec. nice one, Apple.

  23. Re:Want a job? Get on LinkedIn on Linked In Or Out? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...until they figure out that LinkedIn is just MySpace wearing a suit, and you don't really *know* the people you know.

  25. Re:Someone call the wambulance on Apple Claims That Jail-Breaking Is Illegal · · Score: 0

    I hope somebody hunts your biggot ass down and bludgeons you to a bloody whining pulp with a, iPhone, and then I hope they can get a warranty replacement on it. You fuck.
