  1. The real question is! on When Art, Apple and the Secret Service Collide · · Score: 1

    Where can we see the pictures! :p The real reason apple was so aggressive was they didn't want the public to see pictures or videos of people looking like morons while using their devices. Imagine if everyone knew how unintuitive an idevice was before living with it for months/years :o

  2. What i havent seen mentioned on Facebook "Like" System Devalued By Fake Users · · Score: 1

    There seems to be large groups of these fakes users who are connected by a few different command and control centers . I see a few use cases .... Scenario 1. You as a buisness pay for "likes" from them and real users stumble upon your page and think wow they are liked by 222,000 people they must be good/legit. Scenario 2. They use the fake users to like their own buisness/product/service to make it seem more legitimate. The business could be real or it could be FAKE and used for nefarious purposes Scenario 3. They use the fake users to help drive up stock prices in a pump and dump scheme.

  3. microsoft up to their ld tricks? on Microsoft Engineer Discovers Android Spam Botnet, Google Denies Claim · · Score: 1

    This doesnt start off sounding fishyatall “a mircosoft reasearcher” no MS has nothing to gain bymaking android look bad. And then this gem “Security expertGraham Cluley, from anti-virusfirm Sophos, said it was highlylikely theattacks originated from Android devices, given all available information, BUT THIS COULD NOT BE PROVEN.” Wait whatit hasnt been proven to come from android phones? REALLY? And then we learn even it it is happening its people in the third world SIDE LOADING PIRATED APPS. So as usual its not an android security flaw but a bunch of morons who may or may not have installed a supposed maleware wich came as a payload on side loaded pirated software. LOL And now Google and other security researchers are saying no it didn't come from the phones so guess my hunch was right Ms up to their old tricks again

  4. Wait a minute! on Nokia: Google's Nexus 7 Tablet Infringes Our Patents · · Score: 1

    Doesnt broadcom make the wireless chipset? Doesnt broadcom pay for a license and pass the costs on to manufacturers when they buy said chipset? Why doesnt google just buy nokia pay double what its worth if they have to dump windows phone and stop the insanity?

  5. Re:Really? on Locked-Down Tablets Endanger FLOSS For End Users · · Score: 1

    Isn't it true that Microsoft strictly prohibits "custom" mode in uefi on arm based devices. Ms calls them RT devices. Which makes it so you CANT load what ever you want . On a side note does anyone know what rat stands for? Restricted tablets?

  8. i have a problem with this on More Malicious Apps Found On Google Play · · Score: 1

    The problem is "security" companies who make "proof of concept" code and release it into the wild . Instead of helping the companies with which they've found the flaw. This reminds me of the mob asking for protection money they release the code then they say look look android isn't secure UNLESS you buy our product.

  9. Re:What 4G? on Sprint CEO Defends Company's Decision To Bet It All On the iPhone · · Score: 1

    T-Mobile is GSM sprint is cdma so that won't work

  10. this is why i left on Sprint CEO Defends Company's Decision To Bet It All On the iPhone · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Same as others have already posted long time sprint user paid the early termination fee. Tired of waiting for them to get their act together. Bad decisions constantly....... Never using the money to upgrade their network properly. Funny thing is he talks about 4g that most people can't get on sprint and the iPhone isn't even 4g so its a bad comparison shows he is a fool. Get out while you can its a sinking ship...

  11. WOW open standards! on Inside Netflix's WebKit-Based UI For TV Devices · · Score: 1

    So it it uses webkit and all these open standards why cant i use netflix on my linux box?

  12. amazon blew it on Hands-On Account of Amazon's Upcoming Color Kindle · · Score: 1

    what many people were looking for was a tablet with stock android especially icecream sandwich as it solves aloft of problems. People like the google apps especially mail and maps and dont want to have to root or sideload. Amazon blew it

  13. What i was Looking For on Chrome Extension Adds Facebook, Twitter To Google+ · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There are a few G+ extensions that work with Chrome and Firefox but none that handled both facebook and twitter that works in this manner. It will help those who have slow or stagnant feeds stem the tide while G+ reaches critical mass. Google should allow facebook and twitter users to be added to circles (twitter) (facebook) and have the features of this plugin baked right in. That way when you post from G+ to facebook or twitter users will see an abbreviated post...... and be redirected to G+ to read the rest instead of being allowed to remain in Facebook and twitter to Read the posts. Once enough users are posting this way they will be compelled to switch to G+ because they have to go there anyway to read most posts.

  16. Guess ill be shopping elswhere on Motorola Sticks To Guns On Locking Down Android · · Score: 1

    all those people lined up to buy the xoom tablet just got the major incentive not to. This is what they call artificial obsolescence, they used to do it with feature phones youd have to get the newest hardware to have the newest software.(the old phones end up in landfills) But we all know now that our old hardware is more than capable of running the newest software. This is done to drive sales and to force you to keep lousy things like moto blur. The the votes are in motorola and no one wants motoblur they want stock android!

  17. MS COST LESS? on Open Source More Expensive Says MS Report · · Score: 1

    Proprietary software especially Microsoft is not meant to work with other software by design. Unlike its open counterparts that are flexible and able to be integrated more easily. Maybe they are concluding that the time it takes to do these integrations costs more than if you had an all MS shop But i find it hard to believe.

  18. Re:Putting the snideness of the summary aside... on Ars Thinks Google Takes a Step Backwards For Openness · · Score: 1

    What this is really about is wich format gets chosen as THE defacto standard for the html video tag. Now no one wants an encumbered format to be choosen because it will hinder how video is used/viewed/shared/sold redistributed. There HAS to be ONE codec chosen you cant have multiple contenders because it would cause sites considerable bandwidth and hosting costs to have videos encoded multiple ways. Also you pay the "h264 tax" when you buy cameras dvd players etc. Once webm is ported to those devices youll stop paying that tax.

  19. Just like Android on Apple May Remove the Home Button On the Next IPad · · Score: 1

    So Apple is copying Android "honeycomb" and allowing for no buttons at all? Will they allow for your own custom "soft button" setup?

  20. Thieves All of them! on Flash Can Rob 2 Hours From MacBook Air's Battery Life · · Score: 1

    when you see the ads you are paying for the content. This means apple users who don't install flash are thieves. And in iOS powered devices Apple is condoning piracy!!!! :O

  21. open hmm on Yahoo! Opens Floodgates On Homepage To Devs · · Score: 1

    will they be open sourcing anything? will they stop using windows only codecs and standards? will that message "your platform is unsupported" go away when i login to my mail under linux? will their search engine actually return hits for things im actually looking for? If they use open standards their technology would work on every platform and they would actually save money in the long term IT only makes sense since their company was built on top of opensource

  22. How about REAL reasons to fork on Pidgin Controversy Triggers Fork · · Score: 1

    They should fork to get REAL AUDIO AND VIDEO options. Millions of people use msn and yahoo yet the voice chat features and video dont work. And you cant use the audio channel in the yahoo chat rooms which millions of people use. (gyachi can do it so they can grab the code from there its gpl)
