  1. Re:Nice one on Is Facebook Going To Buy Opera? · · Score: 1, Troll

    oooo imagine it, access to literally dozens of Opera users browsing data...

  2. Re:Just like Siri... on Siri Envy? Iris Brings Some Voice-Assistant Features to Android · · Score: 1

    There is a Swype clone available for cydia, and it mostly sucks http://lifehacker.com/5819207/swype-beta-now-available-for-jailbroken-iphones. It is fun to begin with as a novelty, but dragging your finger around that small screen obscures most of the letters making it hard to actually form words, and it is not that accurate.

  3. Re:How come there are enough apes to take over? on Review: Rise of the Planet of the Apes · · Score: 1

    SPOILER ALERT the smart monkeys in the monkey pound escape, there must be say 30-50 of them? They then bust some regular ones out of the zoo (another 20-30?) as well as busting some more out of the research labs (100?), then they all escape into the forest via a bridge, and get lucky that it is a bit cloudy and the humans cannot see them to kill them. A few get killed along the way, then I guess the remaining procreate in the forest or something, then take over the planet. I suppose the humans could just nuke the forest or something, but maybe the monkeys would outsmart them again I dunno.

  4. Re:"Open Media" on Major Release of Miro Aims to Compete With iTunes · · Score: 1

    No iTunes equivalent for Android? http://www.doubletwist.com/ has been around for a good while now, I'd say it fits that description...

    Yeah of course. I was pointing out that NZs first female PM got in without winning an election, just like Canada, just like Australia.

  8. Re:The student edition is now $47 more on OS X Leopard Ships On October 26th · · Score: 1

    Here's a suggestion...

    Find 4 friends, buy a family pack. 4 of my friends at school are doing the same. Thus, $40 apiece.
    what is there to stop one using a regular (i.e. non family-pack) version of OS X for multiple upgrades? I recall when i upgraded to tiger there was no serial or activation required, and the disc certainly didnt dissolve or anything after installation. do you get 4 discs or sumthing with the family pack?

    Does the Kottke one count? As in: I don't want to start a holy war here but what is the deal...

    ... that accommodates a lab-grade folded square filter filter paper? does this not impart a flavor in the same way that metal or plastic might? (p.s. i am not being facetious in case this comes across sounding so)
  13. Re:I like Ubuntu on Will Dell Be Bad For Ubuntu? · · Score: 1

    yes those are my sentimonies exactly. i am hoping that with ubuntu pre-installed on dells, we will finally get better driver support for that poxy dell/braodcom mini-wifi (whatever it is called) card i am currently struggling with. /rant>

  16. Re:The Nazis where looking for this kind of stuff on Reflectivity Reaches a New Low · · Score: 1

    OK fine. It was a poor attempt at a joke, but at least now i have verification of the necessity to explain a "joke" being inversely proportional to its hilarity. i will go now.

  20. Re:Or... on Microsoft Threatened With Fines By EU Again · · Score: 0, Troll

    It seems scarcely a week goes by where they dont fine someone or threaten someone else for doing business on "their" turf. They talk of anti competitiveness, but i think much of it is in reality clandestine protectionism.

  22. Re:Not sure all of these are correct...exactly on 15 Things Apple Should Change in Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Informative

    the terminal entry is not even required, just activate the dashboard, then click that "+" thing in a circle that reveals all the widgets available on your mac. Then click and hold any widget and drag it out of that widgets list, and then press F12 to deactivate the dashboard while still holding on to the widget. you should then be able to drop the widget on to your desktop. next time you activate the dashboard, your desktop widget will be subsumed into the actual dashboard thingamagig. good times
