    replicate != steal

  2. Adobe's cards on Steve Jobs Publishes Some "Thoughts On Flash" · · Score: 1

    I wonder what would happen if Adobe said: "Allow Flash on the iPhone or we're pulling Photoshop from the Mac"

  5. This concerns me on Apple To Buy ARM? · · Score: 1

    It's like Microsoft trying to buy Intel...

  6. Sounds familar on MIT Researchers Harness Viruses To Split Water · · Score: 1

    Sound's like next week's SyFy movie of the week

  7. Re:Google should buy them on Bloomberg Reports That Palm Is Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    Hmmm...If Google bought Palm, they could release an "Official Palm Emulator" for Android phones.

  8. Re:BeOS! on Bloomberg Reports That Palm Is Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    When was the last time "the original programmers" did any work on OS/2? Isn't it still running ATMs today?

  10. Re:Damn intarweb! on Texas Approves Conservative Curriculum · · Score: 1

    What about:

    "We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions"

    and

    "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

  11. Droid Eris on Nexus One Update Fixes 3G, Adds Multitouch · · Score: 1

    The Droid Eris supports multi-touch in it's browser and photo app.

  12. What have you gained on Verizon MiFi Owned By Simple Attack · · Score: 1

    Isn't the whole point of the MiFi to provide internet access? So, what have you gained? And it's meant to be moved around a lot -- once you hack it, it'll be out of range soon anyway.

  13. Android is a step in the right direction on Why Open Source Phones Still Fail · · Score: 1

    The new Android phones may not be 100% open, but I think they are certainly a step in the right direction. I'm really surprised that Verizon allowed them on their network.

  14. It's not just about skipping commericals on DVRs Help Some TV Shows Improve Ratings · · Score: 1

    I've said it for years -- it's not just about skipping commercials. It's also about being able to see shows that I can't watch while they're on. More people will watch a show if they can see it at their convenience.

  15. Re:Walmart, I mean Google Strikes Again! on Will Google and Android Kill Standalone GPS? · · Score: 1

    It's not "free" if you have to pay for the phone and the monthly data plan.

  16. Well, duh! on Netflix Coming To Sony PS3 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The PS3's not a game system. It's a Blu-ray player.

  17. Re:Back in the day... on RadioShack To Rebrand As "The Shack"? · · Score: 1

    trust me... when a DM asks you (a store employee) why sales are bad, and you give them the logical explanation as to why... then ignores the whole conversation to just say. "We'll your not selling enough cell phones"...

    I know exactly what you're talking about. I used to work there about ten years ago. At one point they changed the process for selling DirecTv units. It went from a quick thing to a complicated process where the customer had to do a lot of stuff before they could leave. They next week I overheard the DM ask (with a straight face) "I wonder why DirecTv sales are down this week".

    I left around the time they started using secret shoppers to find and fire employees who didn't offer every single customer a cell phone AND a satellite TV.

  18. Space trip on Main Toilet On ISS Craps Out · · Score: 1

    If you thought a plumber here on earth was expensive, just want to you get this guy's bill for the house call.

  19. Looks like... on Company Denies Its Robots Feed On the Dead · · Score: 1

    ...PETA got to them.

  20. One question on NASA Releases Restored Apollo 11 Video, But Originals Lost · · Score: 1

    "original footage search committee"?

  21. Re:Is the an English major in the house? on A History of Early Text Adventure Games · · Score: 1

    Non-interactive non-fiction?

  22. Re:sanctions? on Lawyer Offers $1M For Proof His Client Could Have Done It; Oops · · Score: 1

    Maybe that was his plan all along. He goes on TV and says something stupid that hurts his client. His client then gets the judge to delay the case because he needs time to get another lawyer.

  23. Re:Interesting on Atari 1200XL Stacked Up Against a Dell Inspiron · · Score: 1

    The 5200 joysticks weren't that bad. I actually liked them. The problem was that they'd wear out very quickly and then the buttons would become unresponsive.

  24. Re:Interesting on Atari 1200XL Stacked Up Against a Dell Inspiron · · Score: 1

    The Game Gear had a higher resolution screen, but that ended up making the characters/sprites smaller and thus harder to see.

    I remember at camp I had a Lynx and another kid had a Game Gear. He always wanted to play my Lynx.

  25. Re:Which is It? on HIV/AIDS Vaccine To Begin Phase I Human Trials · · Score: 1

    "HIV/AIDS"

    Have you ever heard the media mention the term "HIV" without immediately following it with "the virus that causes AIDS"? It's the media that's bonded those terms.
