  1. Bluetooth headphone support on Nintendo Plans New Version of Switch Next Year (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Support for Bluetooth Headphones seems like a no-brainer for a portable gaming device. Couldn't believe the current one doesn't support this.

  2. What could possibly go wrong?

  3. Re:Sports are the key on How Netflix Eats the Internet · · Score: 1
  4. Get a tall office chair on Ask Slashdot: What's Your Take On Stand-Up Desks? · · Score: 1

    How about getting an office chair that is tall enough to use to sit at the standing desk?

  5. Re:Steve's Right on Apple Intends To 'Digitally Destroy' Textbook Publishing · · Score: 3, Funny

    They've literally got students (and to a smaller sense, professors) by the balls.

    You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

  6. Re:Fuel efficiency on Mazda Stops Production of the Last Rotary Engine Powered Car · · Score: 1

    I think he's using gallons from the other side of the Atlantic from you. 42mpg (US gals) for an AWD turbo diesel is very respectable

  7. Re:Why trust your ears? Unless you're blind that i on Electric Cars May Be Made Noisier By Law · · Score: 2

    lastly but not least... unless the car is accelerating the biggest noise is the road noise (pavement vs vulcanized rubber). Last I checked, electric cars don't solve this problem. If you're relying on Engine noise to determine if a car is coming, you're already fairly screwed.

    This is really just not true. I spend a lot of time on a road bicycle during the warmer months, so cars are passing all the time; and hybrids in electric mode are dead silent coming up behind you, frequently scaring the crap out me and my team mates. All other vehicles make audible noise. Not sure if it's the engine, the engine fan, or what. But you definitely hear it on internal combustion engines and not on hybrids in full electric mode.

  8. Re:Will Yahoo! follow suit? on Gmail Moves To HTTPS By Default · · Score: 1

    In that respect, there's no such thing as "LAN security." THe cafe is really no less secure than anything else WRT your email's readability. Even if you're at work behind a corporate firewall, you should be similarly nervous. That email was in the clear across the internet. Even if it came form another coworker, a 3rd party at work could be snooping. Treat unencrypted email as if anyone could read it. 'cuz they can.

  9. Apparently web servers also matter on Framerates Matter · · Score: 3, Funny

    she's dead, Jim

  10. Re:Just like we never use desktop apps anymore... on Firefox Mobile Threatens Mobile App Stores, Says Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Sure is, but I check my gmail with an IMAP client. Facebook with an iPhone app (and sometimes their web page, too.)

  11. Just like we never use desktop apps anymore... on Firefox Mobile Threatens Mobile App Stores, Says Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's why the vast majority of apps we all use on a daily basis on our computers are web apps. Or not. In fact, for me, there's not a single web app I use on a daily basis...

  12. Re:Uh-oh, they're catching up! Someone tell Apple! on Apple To Face Challenge At WWDC · · Score: 1

    Maybe he's typing on a Pre. I hear the keyboard sucks. :-)

  13. There are other ways... on Linux Not Supported For Democratic Convention Video · · Score: 1

    You could just go watch CNN's flash video instead. Presumably the other networks each have one as well.
