  1. PayPal not sucking? on Paypal Agrees to Consumer Protections · · Score: 5, Funny


    Does it mean that PayPal will stop blocking accounts (and the money in them) for peregrine reasons like, in my case, your name sounding similar to Al Qaeda's terrorists? And I'm not even in the same continent nor religion as them!

  2. Power analogy on Mistrust of Today's Technology · · Score: 1


    I don't buy the power-is-gone analogy, because while a power out is really bad, how do you explain your customers you can't do business because you preferred to store your valuable emails/docs/spreadsheets/data at the last über-hyped dot com beta and it's down on maintenance?

  4. Impressed on Microsoft To Enable User-Created Xbox 360 Games · · Score: 1


    Am really impressed by this cool move from the Redmond's boys, but got a lot of questions over it. How will it bypass the anti-copy game protection? Will it be a true SDK with full access to all the key components or a crippled down OS with no ability to get the juice from the optical disk nor 3D CPUs like the SONY's attempt with the ps2?

    The folks at Google never cease to amaze us!

    The bring out new programs and almost ever hit the mark, with a great rate of success, but without hesitating to remove from the net their fiascos, like that Google Accelerator thing.

    Just please don't be sooo US-centric and release your goodies for all the world, for example, I'd love to throw out my paypal account, but non-Americans are not able to log into Google CheckOut still!

  15. Clever on Prognosticating E3 · · Score: 5, Insightful


    Although I am not a gamer myself, I've had a couple of consoles along the time and am very pleased with the 'nunchuck', as is clearly, to me, the most natural controller ever.

    Nowadays is hard to find someone that has never played with a console, but, back in the day, when the nes was the rage (no ataris for us Europeans!) almost everybody who was playing for the first time... o first month in some cases... actually moved phisically the controller as like they where trying to 'push' the Italian plumber, or the Contra fighter, or whatever.

    I'm in no way a nintendo fanboy, but I hope it works.
