  9. The wasp and the thistle on Sony Leaks Reveal Hollywood Is Trying To Break DNS · · Score: 1

    This story reminds me of the wasp that landed on the thistle. One of them is going to get stung but I really don't care which. It's bad that anyone gets hacked but it it Sony after all.

  10. Governor Sununu on FBI Seizes Los Angeles Schools' iPad Documents · · Score: 1

  15. Re:Does not Affect Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, 8. on Microsoft Releases Out-of-Band Security Patch For Windows · · Score: 1

    Why does MS explain the risk in a footnote instead of the chart of affected software? Why not just say "Unaffected" or some similar term in the chart itself.

  17. Preventative medicine on Google Developing a Pill To Detect Cancer · · Score: 2

    My doctors don't believe in doing any tests that aren't indicated by an existing condition. Why cause concern if something is found? What about false positives? Is it going to cost a lot of money? Will insurance pay for it? Once a condition is diagnosed then insurance will pay for it but not before. Prventative medicine is not practices here.

  24. Follow the money. on Dell Exec Calls HP's New 'Machine' Architecture 'Laughable' · · Score: 1

    Of course the software guy at Dell is going to make noise about anything that competes with Microsoft. If it wasn't for them he wouldn't have a job.
