  1. Sleeper? on Sleeper: LG G2 One of the Fastest Android Smartphones On the Market · · Score: 3, Informative

    How is it a sleeper? It's not made by Apple or Samsung, but it is being heavily marketed on TV and has solid reviews (aside from the atrocious Android skin) all over the Web...

  2. Why!? on Wikipedia Bans Church of Scientology · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hmmm... but according to my research, it's just a harmless religion based on love and understanding of others. Why would Wikipedia ban such a group?

  3. Re:Slashdotted on Putting On a Show For the Google Streetview Camera · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's not Slashdotted, but here's a link anyway.

  4. Expect to see... on New Law Will Require Camera Phones To "Click" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Expect to see a lot more ads for: "UPSKIRT SHOTS OF DEAF CHIKZ!1one." They should really require a strobe light to go off at the same time as the shutter sound.

  5. What's up with Alzheimer's and helmets? on Scientists Claim Infrared Helmet Could Reverse Alzheimer's Symptoms · · Score: 1

    Interesting... similarly... "New technology developed by Emory and Georgia Tech researchers could aid the early identification of people susceptible to Alzheimer's disease. A portable device called Detect may provide an easier, less expensive way to test for mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which often leads to Alzheimer's. The test could provide potential Alzheimer's patients the chance to slow the disease's progress with medication before serious symptoms set in." Check out the nearly identical picture.

  6. At what point do these posters become registered? on Infrequent Anonymous Cowards Reliable on Wikipedia · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Another interesting study might determine how many posts a person usually makes before becoming registered...

  7. Another Arrest on Couple Who Catch Cop Speeding Could Face Charges · · Score: 3, Funny

    The couple then placed the entire Bartow County Police Department under citizen's arrest for intimidation...

  8. Poster needs to look up the definition... on Word of the Year - "Truthiness" · · Score: 5, Informative

    Ironic that the post here misuses the word...

  9. Imagine... on Make Linux "Gorgeous," Says Ubuntu Leader · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A person who has never used a computer turns on three which are arranged in front of them... A Windows box, a Mac box and a Linux box... all look identical on the outside. They receive no prompting. Which do they begin to try to learn to use?

  10. IMHO on Seagate To Encrypt Data On Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    It seems to me the only people who really need this and happy about it are already or should be using truecrypt and the like. If only a niche market has embraced the current technology, shouldn't that be a tip-off that we don't want it shoved down out throats?

  11. Re:For those lawyers out there on LimeWire Sues RIAA for Antitrust Violations · · Score: 1

    "Failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted"? I can think of some "relief"... the $476 million the RIAA is trying to part Limewire with.

  12. iTunes v6 FairPlay DRM crack fixed? on Apple Announces iTunes 7, Movies, Set-Top Box · · Score: 1

    I wonder if iTunes version 7 fixed the iTunes v6 FairPlay DRM crack. Has anyone tried it?

  13. Re:Locked in on Why the iPod is Losing its Cool · · Score: 1

    It's also worth noting that just because you're in an un DRMed format doesn't mean you'll be able to keep it forever without converting. When the next big thing rolls around for portable music players, MP3 can just as easily be left unsupported. True but it's a heck of a lot easier going from a widely used format with universal support (MP3, etc.) to the next format (so long as it's digital) than from a proprietary system that could be illegal to work around the DRM to the next format. Either way, I'm glad not to be locked in.

  14. Locked in on Why the iPod is Losing its Cool · · Score: 1

    It will be interesting to see how many people stick with the iPod/Apple even as it loses popularity since their entire music collection is based on iTunes Fairplay music. Hopefully this could serve as a warning to the masses about DRM.

  15. Re:been there, done that on iTunes v6 FairPlay DRM Cracked · · Score: 1

    If by generous, you mean you can only play it on an Apple MP3 device... then yes, it's extrememly generous...

  16. In other news on IBM to Buy ISS for $1.3 Billion · · Score: 1

    In other news... the Fisher Space Pen Company's stock is skyrocketing...

  17. The real reason behind the purchase... on IBM to Buy ISS for $1.3 Billion · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Can anyone honestly think of a better tax-haven than space? I mean really, what's the rate up there these days?

  18. Cambrian House? on The Open Source Business? · · Score: 1

    Isn't that sorta the idea behind Cambrian House? "Within the crowdsourcing model, contributors to software projects earn royalties in the form of royalty points. If developed products are profitable, profit is shared among contributors based the contributor's share of the total royalty points."

  19. Re:Oh, but... on Napster Going Back to Free Downloads · · Score: 1

    It works in Linux (Ubuntu tested) through Firefox so long as Ad-block is disabled.

  20. And the audio quality is... on Napster Going Back to Free Downloads · · Score: 2, Informative

    garbage. Even if I could rip this straight from the stream, I wouldn't want to.

  21. I for one welcome our young newt overlords on Planning Dapper +1, The Edgy Eft · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I for one welcome our young newt overlords.

  22. Re:stick it on the web on Condensing Your Life on to a USB Flash Drive? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm willing to bet Gmail isn't stored in a single location and Google has some sort of backup storage location.
