Please ignore the start-up stealing the OS from Microsoft

ryan

superb idea.

I'd expect the IP to get bought up soon enough by one of the larger players.

i wouldn't be entirely surprised to see somebody like Yahoo! come out of leftfield to bid on this either. it'd be a helluva way to get your search engine back in heavy use.

wonder how long before Apple sue them for the object dock thingy?

"You work with computers?"

"can you just take a look at my PC a moment? it wont start, and sometimes it makes a buzzing noise, and i want to install this VOIP phone thingy? it won't take 5 mins i'm sure"

I don't normally have the heart to tell them that as a web designer, i know fuck all about computers. i'm going to invest in a "NO! I WONT FIX YOUR COMPUTER" t-shirt.

Paris Hilton

what i can't figure out...

is what the RIAA actually do?

beyond suing people disproportionally large sums for alleged copyright infringement, and forcing intrusive DRM upon us.

i'm sure the women's lib movement is grateful for your support.

a bit of support being something i'd imagine they could do with, what with burning all those bras and everything.

eBay: Botnets are Linux-happy

fanboys!

being a fanboy about anything is a bit sad, but an *operating system* fanboy? that's on a par with text-editor fanboyism.

disturbing stuff.

Jack Thompson sets about Halo 3

ryan

@Hayden Clark (again...)

Thompson's 'thing' is that videogames turn normal, well adjusted people into psychopathic killers. clearly this isn't true, and Thompson becomes a joke.

the shame of it all is, if he dedicated his time to educating parents about the existance of the classification system for games, and encouraging shops to enforce this policy properly, he'd be doing a great job.

personally, i'd be inclined to believe he's in it to get his mug on TV.

copping a feel. etc. etc.

This story has left a nasty taste in my mouth.

Firefox hits 400m download milestone

ryan

Firefox backlash in full swing. Lynx developers optimistic.

Firefox is clearly far to popular to be cool anymore. any browser with a similar level of performance but a smaller user base is instantly MUCH BETTER.

Not only can it do all the things Firefox can do with little discernible difference, but it also lets me roll my eyes at anybody silly enough to use a browser that is *shudder* mainstream. And in the end, that's what matters.
