  1. Re:Apple Is Absolute Panic Mode Over Android on iPhone OS 4.0 Brings Multitasking, Ad Framework For Apps · · Score: 1

    i don't think his planet has a "sky" - yes, it's THAT alien (this coming from and android phone owner - i like my android phone, but apple has nothing major to worry about yet, i am sure they do see android as a competitor, but not one that is necessarily winning... yet)

  2. Re:How to Search Android Market from a PC on Android's "Flea Market" Needs Urgent Attention · · Score: 1

    Well going to apple's App Store web site only shows me featured apps in certain categories and not a search feature to find everything (that I could find) - like Android's market site. To browse and search everything, i think you still have to use iTunes.

  3. Re:There's an even bigger problem with the market on Android's "Flea Market" Needs Urgent Attention · · Score: 1

    I think maybe a compatibility section for each app in the market would be a start, even if user reported

  4. Re:How to Search Android Market from a PC on Android's "Flea Market" Needs Urgent Attention · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... and, it's not that much worse than installing iTunes!!

  5. Re:How many fucking more April Fools posts? on First LHC Data Hint At New Particle · · Score: 1

    come back tomorrow - the rest of us will laugh - you can be a party pooper

  6. Re:Just a low-end PC with HDMI out... on What's the Best Way To Get Web Content To My TV? · · Score: 1

    I agree with the above completely. This is the simple way to get PC stuff on a TV.... have a media-center compatible remote and/or wireless input (like keyboard/trackball combo suggested above).

  7. This is info the govt already knows... on Will Your Answers To the Census Stay Private? · · Score: 1

    ... and other people can EASILY find out. Age, name, race, ethnic background... this crap is nothing. The only thing I did NOT fill out was my phone number, the rest, hell, i'm sure the IRS has it already... if a some sort of investigative body needs to go there for that info, I'm sure they'll find a way to get it, if they didn't already know that basic info already. If they asked for account #s, SSNs (again, something the IRS know too) and stuff like that, I would have protested. Mostly, this form is pretty benign as far as information collection goes.

  8. Re:Wow... stupid... on Designer Builds Coffin For Xbox's Suffering RROD · · Score: 1

    some art is pretty stupid then

  9. Re:Final Fantasy XIII on The Problems With Video Game Voice Acting · · Score: 1

    Also FXIII is probably pretty linear compared to many western RPG or open-world titles. The dialog can be more refined and less bits of choppy elements (barring all the "poke every retard in town and see what one-liner they give you" dialog lines seemingly present in every single RPG ever)

  10. Wow... stupid... on Designer Builds Coffin For Xbox's Suffering RROD · · Score: 1

    If my XBOX was bricked and no warranty coverage was left, the LAST thing I'd want to do was to pump *more* money into an even MORE useless "accessory". Also, as mentioned before, the controller is probably still good....

  11. Re:Rule 34 on "Skinput" Turns Your Body Into Your I/O · · Score: 1

    you *assume* this will be abominable

  12. Re:Activision on Infinity Ward Lead Developers Axed Unexpectedly · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you hate your job...

  13. Re:Who give a turkey? on LG's Windows Phone 7 Series Early Prototype · · Score: 1

    Agreed, I am not a fan of WinMo 6 at all - but it never gave me any real problems (regarding crashing or rebooting). Just ugly and hard to use at times - also, the Palm Treo wasn't exactly an eye-catcher (which I ran for a long time).

  14. Re:Actually anti-spam/botnet? on US Lawmakers Set Sights On P2P Programs · · Score: 1

    this is /. - so, probably the latter

  15. To repeat - ad nauseam on The Sad History and (Possibly) Bright Future of TiVo · · Score: 1

    TiVo looks like a great device, however it always seems to have an unusually large price tag and that damn monthly fee. I know hardly anyone in my city with one, primarily becuase Dish Network, DishTv and our cable provider (Cox Communications) provides DVRs that work with their system for a fairly low lease per month ($10 or less - however, i concede that this does compare to the monthly fee of the TiVo - except I don't have to BUY a TiVo at all). They work well enough for most people.

    I suspect Apple sells way more iphones and ipods because: 1) lower price (iphone only when subsidized with a contract) and has more functionality than a TiVo; 2) portable; 3) better marketing; 4) ipod has NO monthly fee (iphone does because it is a mobile phone)

  22. Re:LOL. Or you could just buy an iPhone! on Nexus One Update Fixes 3G, Adds Multitouch · · Score: 1

    FYI - you do NOT have to install apps from the Market on an android phone, you can turn on a setting to allow installation of packages from other-than-Market sources. Any .APK file can be downloaded and installed then... of course, at your own risk.

  23. Re:What about Flooz? on Facebook's HipHop Also a PHP Webserver · · Score: 1

    And Flooz is good for JimbaJamber and JimberJamber is good for Thwakdondling

  24. Consequences on Getting Company Owners To Follow Their Own Rules? · · Score: 1

    A lot of management that I have worked with do not see the forest for the trees. They break policy all the time in little ways, but, until they are held accountable for their actions and given consequences, they have little motivation to follow the rules (not all management is like this, I have been fortunate to work directly under some really good people who did thing right most of the time - we all make mistakes - we shouldn't do it all the time and on purpose).

  25. Re:chrome is werid on Why Firefox's Future Lies In Google's Hands · · Score: 1

    ok awesome, why do i need press a button for that when the browser could give me more screen real estate by default? I bet F11 was designed to hide UIs that were too busy (esp. when mointor resolutions were even smaller). again... however, all preference.
