The idea that you can patent something like "sending files from servers to computers and media devices" is kind of farked up in the first place ... the patent system in this country needs to take a very long look at itself ... is it protecting true inventors and innovators like Apple? Or is it...

I have a 1.6GHz Core2Duo HP notebook that runs just great -- faster than the 2.2GHz AMD Athlon 64 (single core) that's in my desktop, for sure. I'm not advocating a 1.6GHz proc for gaming, but for business use or web surfing use, you don't really need that much raw clock speed when the...

Wouldn't be the first time an embedded Radeon chip had a problem in a Mac though ... tons of dual-USB iBooks had problems with the Radeon graphics chip that caused a massive motherboard recall. And I have a Radeon 2400PRO from MSI in my PC, and occassionally I get screen freezes and activating...

Who the heck can afford to be without their cell phone for 3 days? And I'm assuming it's "business days" too... I doubt that a Friday sendoff would result in a Monday return. That being said though... in the past, when I've sent my iPod in for server, I'd get a 1-2 day turn around and even got...

According to Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi, only the Dark Side deals in absolutes.

I hate that copyright holders are winning this battle, particularly when older content is involved. I loved how I could go up on YouTube and catch old episodes of TV shows that aren't even airing anymore -- now a lot of that stuff is gone, and while legal services may have better quality video...

In Sony does this, I don't think there's any chance I'd ever buy the PS3. My PS2 is dying, I don't have $600 right now to replace it with a PS3 but I can't see buying another PS2 so I'm hoping for a price drop. If the price drop costs us PS2 compatibility, though, it's not worth it.

So... it's YouTube's fault that some sick fuckers are out there exploiting people? As far as I know, YouTube doesn't encourage such behavior, they just host user uploaded content. 99% of the internet would count as "unqualified" user uploaded content, you might as well just pull the entire...

Unreal Tournament with Mega Man characters would rock... particularly if it could be an online multiplayer with the ability to pick your own character, choose from all sorts of good guys and bad guys with different abilities, strengths and weaknesses ... it could be a pretty cool game.

I wish they'd do a movie with a joint DS9/Voyager cast, personally. At least have it in the time period where we might get a guest appearance by Admiral Janeway or have Odo suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Wonder what'd happen if the remote control for the pigeon got the blue screen of death...

I don't think any money changed hands, honestly. If I was to guess, I'd say that Cisco and Apple reached some sort of cooperation agreement. I don't know if Apple will open the iPhone itself to Cisco, but each company has a lot to offer the other regardless. Cisco spends billions of dollars a...

It's still the most fun console I've ever been privileged enough to own, aside perhaps the original NES.

In all seriousness... it's amazing to me how the US government, among others, are promoting technology over parenting and guidance. Instead of VChips and ratings boards and Parental Controls and laws like these, how about parents and teachers actually watch and keep track of the younglings...

Wow... you did it and you did it with style. That was sweet, zek :-) Bravo!
