  1. Not sure why on Google Testing Voice Calling In Gmail · · Score: 2, Informative

    Calls would only be being placed with those in your contacts book. Your contacts would have to be poisoned first somehow, and not everyone who emails you is put into contacts unless you compose mail to them, or reply to them (ergo creating a discussion).

    PS: in a literal mood, but i did recognize you were being humorous ;)

  2. double-edge sword on Toyota Adds External Speakers To Warn Pedestrians · · Score: 1

    Could come in handy for car-jacking with a 2 person team..

  3. failure due to expandibility on Throwing Out Software That Works · · Score: 1
    From TFA by Winer:

    He's right that the lack of a removable battery and slots did not hinder the adoption of the iPhone. But I don't recall people saying it would be a failure because of its lack of expandability in hardware.

    He obviously does not hang out on /.

  4. Re:Passwords on 75% Use Same Password For Social Media & Email · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So... being gay is both offensive and embarrassing?

  5. please please no on Internet Explorer Turns 15 · · Score: 1

    Do it Microsoft, I wont mind trying out IE9 on my Mac or Linux box.

    From a developer standpoint, it sounds like a nightmare. Anyone remember IE6 on Mac?

  6. What is the motivation on Drunk Driver Mugshots Featured On Facebook · · Score: 0, Troll

    From the pig point of view, what is their motivation for doing this?

  7. Re: How does on Obama Wants Allies To Go After WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    My kingdom for a mod point.

  8. Mile High Music Festival on Music Festival Producer Pre-Sues Bootleggers · · Score: 1

    One less concert I'll be going to from here on out.

  9. Re:The problem with first posts on Browser Private Modes Not So Private After All · · Score: 1

    /. abhors a vacuum.

  10. Re:Lesser of two evils? on Google & Verizon's Real Net Neutrality Proposal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If voting could change anything, it would be illegal.

  11. Rightful Owners on Pentagon Demands Return of Leaked Afghanistan Documents · · Score: 4, Insightful

    return them to their rightful owners

    Rightful owners? They must mean the American people who paid for all of this, right?

  12. before that can happen on Pentagon Demands Return of Leaked Afghanistan Documents · · Score: 2, Informative

    You need to download the internet before you can delete it.

    I appreciate your use of the é

  14. black market on Google CEO Schmidt Predicts End of Online Anonymity · · Score: 1

    That would inevitably trigger a broad demand for "internet passport" credentials, illegitimately obtained from others. And they would probably be easier to get than CC numbers and/or SSNs (which are all rather easy already).

  15. but... on Google CEO Schmidt Predicts End of Online Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Don't you have to have a FB account to begin with, to even appear in the tagging dialog overlay that appears for that process?

  16. Re:Heh, suckers on Steve Furber On Why Kids Are Turned Off To Computing Classes · · Score: 1

    It's not my fault. Our regular CS instructor died of snakebite, so the business course chick took over and made us learn Excel.

  17. steve furber on Steve Furber On Why Kids Are Turned Off To Computing Classes · · Score: 1

    I'd have certainly enjoyed my comp sci courses more if Steve Furber had written all my textbooks. He's completely lucid and hits the balance between technical and readable. His ARM SoC Architecture title is a freakin' gem.

  18. Re:It'll Pass. Flawlessly. on Tech Specs Leaked For French Spyware · · Score: 1

    Jeez. Sounds like a certain operating system I know.

    No-one ever got fired for choosing Hadopi. Well, not yet anyway.

  19. thermodynamics on Tech Specs Leaked For French Spyware · · Score: 1

    How? Is it a closed system?

  20. nods on Tech Specs Leaked For French Spyware · · Score: 1

    Exactly. It's got to be much less of a PITA to get the ISPs to roll over for them instead of deploying known snoopware client-side.

  21. ISPs? on Tech Specs Leaked For French Spyware · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't they have better luck getting the french ISPs to roll over for them instead of deploying known snoopware client-side?

    Brazil and India seem to be ~70% of the total orkut users.

  23. orkut demographics on Why Wave Failed · · Score: 2, Informative
  24. 140 countries on Why Wave Failed · · Score: 1

    Google Checkout is (was?) only available in three countries, not even close physically to one another.

    Google Checkout allows buyers in over 140 countries to purchase goods and services using a credit or debit card through our fast, secure checkout process.

  25. errr on Vonage Makes Free Facebook Phone Call App · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That you called it a 'universe' might answer your own question.
