  1. Squinting on Samsung Develops World's First three-inch VGA LCD · · Score: 1

    That is some small pixels! Now I can really squint my eyes at the display! Honestly, I just hope the design engineeers would design and use some noice and readable icon and fonts when using this type of small but higher resolution display!

  2. Not to be a sexist here, but on What Happened to Media PCs? · · Score: 1

    men decides what goes into the study and women decides what goes into the living room. A big noisy and ugly PC just simply would not do! The truth is there is a big leap from PC to appliances.

  3. Re:There is no TAIWAN on Turing Equation Explains how Leopard Spots Develop · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Go back to your commune and learn how to blog. Do not drag politics in here unless it is related to the subject. By the way, Taiwan is Chinese soil, Republic of China! You fucking commie bastard.

  4. Interesting career consideration, but on Moving from Tech to Trading? · · Score: 1

    Please understand that trading is not for the faint of heart. The pressure is high, numbers are big and the stress level can down right kill you. However, if you want to be a good at trading, most of the traders I knew in NY and HK told me that certain amount of killer instinct is required to be good at it. Please see this interesting article: http://www.nber.org/digest/mar02/w8508.html

    Apple has found that the stains on the Mac Book are usually on teh right hand side and returned customers are usually male......

    Hey, Kid, There is no way to get most of the fat and grease out of food, no matter how you cook it. Unless you flame it with a plasma canon and eat the charred remain. Fast food is fatty and unhealthy, period. You just have too high of a metabolism to know what I am talking about at this stage of your life. Check out the calories and fat content of a properly grilled burger with tomato slices: http://nutrition.about.com/od/rateameal/a/whopperm eal.htm

  7. Re:Too bad it doesn't work with the PC... on The Mighty Mouse Has Lost Its Tail · · Score: 1

    Simple, BT mouse is expensive compared to the proprietary RF technology, even without a dongle(if NB has it built-in). People usually does not want to spend a lot money on mouse unless it is really ergonomically comfortable.

  8. Re:Screw the Q, give me an A1200 running linux! on Unmaking Motorola's Q · · Score: 1

    I am sorry to inform you that Ming may never come to US. It is specifically made for the Chinese/Asian market with superior handwriting recognition technology according to Motorola. Which means I should start buying it in Taiwan and selling it on eBay!!!!

  9. May be, on Worst Tech CEOs Earn the Most Money · · Score: 3, Interesting

    just may be some of these CEO are mentally ill. Narcissist and psycopath as CEO's. http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/96/open_boss.h tml

  10. True profit on Apple to Announce iTunes Movie Rentals? · · Score: 1

    It is well known that iTune does not make a lot of money, but iPod does for Apple. Following the same logic does that mean people will start buy Mac mini and the true Video iPod everyone has been talking about? Well the rental system work with a $399 PC from Fry's with iTune and QuickTime installed? This is very interesting......

  12. Re:Where are those anti-trust advocates now? on Intel To Lay Off 1000 Managers · · Score: 1

    I agree pretty much with what you said. However, I do not think IBM's PC dividion was a failure. They had solid market share, good products, loyal users and great quality. By anyone's definition it is a good business. But to IBM, the PC division is just a divsion with lousy margin and the people at the division are often at odds with IBM's top management. So, IBM's top brass decided to sell the division to get on with other truely money making business.

  13. Re:About this OT comparison of Hitler and Stalin on Enron's Kenneth Lay Dies · · Score: 1

    Hmm....
    You are probably speaking as a person who never has his family business taken away, assets seized and relatives killed. I can only forgive you on that ignorant comment. By the way, both my parents' families are the victims of above mentioned crime in 2 countries, China and Vietnam.
    Injustice in the name of anything is still injustice.

    Someone should start telling the blindman in the fish market joke about now.....

  15. Re:Or realize it's always fixable... on Coping with Exam Panic Attacks? · · Score: 1

    I totally agree with the parent here. By going well beyond expected performance in training, you will perform well in the crux situation.

    I would like add more thing, immerse yourself with the task at hand. Focus yourself on the present moment of doing the particular question, block everything out, even the fact that it is an exam. I know it sounds a zen kind of thing, but it works with martial artist, mountaineers and others. Oh, just to be sure you do not loose the track of time.

    Good luck.

  16. Steve is not in the movie business on Hollywood Against Jobs' Movie Pricing Plan · · Score: 1

    He is in it to sell iPod. He took the music industry on a wild ride and made money on iPod, he think can do the same thing with movies.

    Only time will tell if it is going to work.....

  18. The arrogance! on Sony Fakes Blu-Ray Demo? · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is the problem with large companies. When they think consumer's IQ is something they can toy with, that is the time they will pay!

  19. Re:Wha...? on Creative Sues Apple · · Score: 1

    There are no companies will raise pricing to pay for a patent fight. It would be really bad PR. The regular math would be counting the cash pile Apple has and look the negative income statement of Creative, http://finance.google.com/finance?fstype=ii&cid=65 6231 Apple will just out spend them in court. It is as simple as that!

  20. Re:Wha...? on Creative Sues Apple · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yes, Creative is a sore loser!
    The reason the waited for so long to sue is that it took them a long time to found the lawyers with enough balls to take on Apple!

  21. Wait...... on Apple vs Apple -- Judgment Day · · Score: 2, Informative

    Looks like Apple Corp. is appealing the decision! You think Apple Corp. would know their limitations. See here http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/05/08/apple_to_a ppeal_verdict/

  25. PP is expensive! on Apple Dumps PortalPlayer Chip · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Portal Player solution is very expensive. Last time I checked, it requires 2 ARM 7 chips with an external auio codec chip to run the the non video version iPod. There are plenty of more cost effective solution from the competitors such as Sigmatel, Philips or Freescale.

    It is probably just a cost cutting move for Apple.
