Has Apple Bitten Off More Than It Can Chew?

Comment in News (21 diggs, 2 replies) - 16 hr 46 min ago
faultlessly executed? No copy and paste on the iphone. Bluetooth stack for the iphone missing most profiles, even handy ones like A2DP (high quality stereo so you can better listen to music). Or is this faultlessly executed as in the recent worms and t … (see comment)

Researchers Want Tiny Refrigerators Cooling Your PC

Comment in News (5 diggs, 0 replies) - 18 hr 8 min ago
yes, if its cooler it would consume less energy, unless you are using energy to cool it, then the 2nd law of thermodynamics kicks in which states you consume more energy making cold than the heat energy you offset. In essence "leave the refrigerator door … (see comment)

Comment in News (-6 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/25/2008
So? ok they decided they wanted to prevent as much as possible people using a particular operating system on their hardware. The solution is quite simple, if you want to run linux dont buy one of their bios enabled systems. This thread however seems to … (see comment)

Malware Authors Take Aim at Growing Number of Macs

Comment in News (3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/24/2008
It most certainly is not the case that there are no current viruses or malware for mac. As edwardmluk showed 2 years ago there was an exploit that utilized ichat to propagate. The whole "macs cant get viruses/worms/trojans/etc" and the false informati … (see comment)

Malware Authors Take Aim at Growing Number of Macs

Comment in News (8 diggs, 1 reply) - on 07/24/2008
indeed, if osx is secure then its secure regardless of the habits of the users. If it takes the user to make it secure against threats, then the same could be said for windows, dont fix the system, replace the users. It is funny though that someone woul … (see comment)

Malware Authors Take Aim at Growing Number of Macs

Comment in News (3 diggs, 2 replies) - on 07/24/2008
I agree it no less or more secure than it has been, its the same. That however does not mean its secure or immune. I wrote a virus for linux 15 years ago because someone said a similar thing about how linux cant get viruses. Some other AV authors have … (see comment)

Face off: Windows vs Linux real world RAM and disk tests

Comment in News (-1 diggs, 1 reply) - on 07/22/2008
wow their memory usage is higher than mine, at least in XP (they did vista, but my laptop only had a experience of 2.3 largely due to the vista DRM in the grfx holding it back severely). I get it to below 60MB ram and its 100% usable, except for certain … (see comment)

Ubuntu hits new high in Linux boredom

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/19/2008
An alternative often overlooked by many is instead of seeking for one thing to rule the rest, encourage differences, encourage options, encourage choice. An operating system is a tool, much like a wrench, and as such it should be considered differently. … (see comment)

Nabbed for speeding? GPS data could get you off the hook

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/19/2008
well one thing to remember, the average speed in a 30 second window has to be low enough, so lets say he was 17 over, he would have to have been 17 under for the same duration out of that 30 second window. That may have happened, but then again, maybe it … (see comment)
