  That's funny, because I haven't used my DVD queue for 8 months...

  Any kid with Microsoft Word can use the Find and Replace functionality better than he did... and you would think that someone that was so experienced in the industry would be better at lying. :P

  Re: Hmm

  Hahaha yes. That.

• On the post: Will People Pay CNN To Help Them Report The News?

  

  Xyro TR1 ( profile ), 01 Oct, 2009 @ 06:37am

  I don't think that's the point

  Well, following your formula, CNN is connecting with fans (allowing them to report for CNN) and giving them a reason to buy (the extra content on the app), and seems to be doing well from it.
  
  Now that dosen't mean they can't also implement the "report for CNN" elsewhere, but at this time, the current strategy seems to be the winning one.

• On the post: Court Dismisses Case Against Yahoo From Woman Upset How She Appeared In Results

  

  Xyro TR1 ( profile ), 01 Sep, 2009 @ 04:33pm

  Well...

  She got her wish anyways. Entries from this case as well as other results have shown up on the first page of a Yahoo! search of her name.

• On the post: US Gov't Briefing For All Employees: All Music Downloads Are Stolen, Risky

  

  Xyro TR1 ( profile ), 27 Aug, 2009 @ 06:54am

  I guess they forgot how P2P is also used to download and share legitimate things, or how some music groups are using it to spread their newest works, etc.

• On the post: Doctor Who Uploaded Rorschach Images Now Being Investigated

  

  Xyro TR1 ( profile ), 25 Aug, 2009 @ 11:50am

  I disagree with nothing in this article.
  
  The only one performing "unprofessional actions" is the organization conducting the investigation. This should not be necessary at all.

  Re: I'm impressed

  I'm so impressed, in fact, that I just bought a copy.

  I'm impressed

  This is one of the most unique ideas I've seen implemented in a long time. Props to him for coming up with such an impressive marketing technique.

• On the post: iPhone Haters Are Stick-Shifters In An Automatic World

  Keys

  I'm just going to say this:
  
  If the iPhone had a slide out QWERTY keyboard (a la HTC smartphones), I would own one. But not until that time.

  Re: Tyranny of the Markets

  Too bad the V8 niche market is getting more expensive by the day :(

  Re: Re: But, there are two kinds of automatic transmissions

  Uh... hello? They had DSG before it was adapted for the Porsche lineup? Facts. Check 'em.

  Re: But, there are two kinds of automatic transmissions

  Actually, it's a dual-clutch manual, not a convential Autotragic transmission (think torque converters)
  
  DSG is one of the best transmissions on the market.

• On the post: What's Next? Can Senators Ban Stupidity While Driving?

  

  Xyro TR1 ( profile ), 30 Jul, 2009 @ 06:57am

  You have no idea

  You have no idea how thrilled I would be if there was a ban on stupidity while driving. I would feel so safe...

• On the post: If You're Addicted To World Of Warcraft, Why Not Get Therapy For It In The Game?

  

  Xyro TR1 ( profile ), 30 Jul, 2009 @ 06:55am

  Haha

  I wonder if they, themselves, might become "addicted" to the game.

• On the post: Asus The Latest To Recognize That BitTorrent Is Quite Useful

  

  Xyro TR1 ( profile ), 22 Jul, 2009 @ 07:48am

  I haven't looked into it much, but I assume they're offering a torrent as an option, not exclusively requiring users to run a torrent to get the files they need. I hope they don't start moving toward the latter.

• On the post: Google To The World: Don't Be So Sure YouTube Isn't Profitable

  

  Xyro TR1 ( profile ), 22 Jul, 2009 @ 07:37am

  Well...

  Unfortunately, YouTube has been bending over for the record companies as of late. Countless videos have been "ruined" due to their background music being muted.
  
  Doing this is shooting them in the foot, because it causes many people (like me) to explore other services that will meet the needs of the customer base.
  
  Glad to hear Google is doing well, though. They're one of those "little big companies" that just works well.

  Xyro TR1 ( profile ), 26 Jun, 2009 @ 01:51pm

  You may recall a few years back Zango sued security software maker Kaspersky for calling its product software.

  There are some things best left un-blogged. That is epic.
