  1. Re: Nosedive on Tumblr Co-Founder: Apple's Software Is In a Nosedive · · Score: 3, Interesting

    On the Mac side I get daft things such as this [apple.com], which slowed my 2011 iMac to a crawl until I invoked an obscure command to sort it.

    What was the obscure command to fix this? Have the exact same issue.

  2. I wasn't aware that data caps are considered "innovation".

  3. Re:Why? on Judge Overrules Samsung Objection To Jury Instructional Video · · Score: 1

    Because the first one, "Fucking patents - how do they work?" was thought to be in contempt.

    You and your conspiracy theories. I heard that it didn't have enough double rainbows.

  4. Re:Which is why Apple does product placement on Judge Overrules Samsung Objection To Jury Instructional Video · · Score: 2

    Apple isn't the only company that does product placement, but they are by far the most common computer company that does it.

    Are you delusional? If you don't think Samsung is out spending EVERYBODY right now, then you are nuts. They spend a considerable (http://www.asymco.com/2012/11/29/the-cost-of-selling-galaxies/) amount of money, on not only Ads, but "product placement" (Hello Academy Awards selfie) and other crap.

    It may have been the case a few years ago that Apple out spent everyone on marketing, but this hasn't been the case for a few years.

  5. Sad that it might take a lawsuit... on Target and Trustwave Sued Over Credit Card Breach · · Score: 1

    I wish there were better ways of reporting broken sites. I just tried to inform quicksilver.com that there SSL was messed up, but the told me to reset my cookies. Lol.

    How do you report something like this, if their own "support" is either ignorant or not prepared to deal with these issues. Obviously, someone at Target new of the problems, but couldn't get upper management to listen.

  6. Wow on Apple Demands $40 Per Samsung Phone For 5 Software Patents · · Score: -1, Troll

    How much did Samsung pay for this post?

  7. Um... on Your Next Online Order Could Be Delivered To Your Car's Trunk · · Score: 1

    Some people might not like putting junk in their trunk.

  8. Re:As someone on food stamps... on Doctors Say Food Stamp Cuts Could Cause Higher Healthcare Costs · · Score: 2

    I truly wish people would understand this.

    Pretty much, anything processed is going to be either high in salt, sugar or fats.

    I have no problems with food stamps, but I wish that you could only buy fruits, vegetables, grains and meat with them. Not only would people be healthier, but they would actually be saving money as well. Yes, believe it or not, healthy food cost less. Mainly, because YOU have to prepare it and cook it.

  9. Ben said it best... on Former CIA/NSA Head: NSA Is "Infinitely" Weaker As a Result of Snowden's Leaks · · Score: 3, Informative

    Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

  10. Devil's Advocate on US Working To Kill UN Privacy Resolutions · · Score: 1

    Not to play the devils advocate or anything, but you think China and Russia are on board with this? Don't just point to the big bad U.S.A. on this one boys. It's all the big governments.

  11. Black Friday on Venezuela: Cheap Television Sets For All! · · Score: 1

    I just checked my Daka "Black Friday" flyer ads and I didn't see what kind of deals I can get. Does anyone know?

    Our government began abusing other countries and the media ignored it.
    Our government began abusing it's citizens and the media ignored it.
    Our government began abusing the media...

  13. The abuse of DRM by corporations, governments and people more interested in restricting information, far out weighs any benefit given to the average consumer. I, for one, am totally in disbelief that the W3C caved in on this.

  14. Re:iWatch on No Love From Ars For Samsung's New Smart Watch · · Score: 2

    Have you been living under a rock? You seriously haven't heard any of the gazillion rumors about Apple's rumored secret TV project they've been working on. And no, not the (Even Apple calls it a hobby) AppleTV.

  15. iWatch on No Love From Ars For Samsung's New Smart Watch · · Score: 2

    Wouldn't it be funny, if iWatch was for the name for the rumored TV product that Apple is supposedly working on.

    Like in "Watching TV", not "I wear a watch".

  16. If this was Apple... on Samsung Fudging Benchmarks Again On Galaxy Note 3 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If Apple did this, people would be up in arms!

    ...But, rest assured the LAPD would have burned the boat to the ground.

    How is Blink one of the most popular HTML layout engines?

    What's with all the articles asking me questions, lately?

    I got an idea, why don't you form an opinion on an article and then post that in your summary so I can take the opposite position an attack you with witty comments. Sheesh. Slashdot sure has changed...
