Well, if I like a song/album enough, I will actually buy it. I know its an unpopular opinion in many circles on the net, but I have no problem supporting creators of content, whether that be Music, Software or TV/Film. The only issue I real

Hmm, now I wonder if we can calculate the Douche-Bag rating of the guy narrating the video - honestly, I just wouldn't trust putting my details into that site after having watched the video. I know they say "we don't store your info", but I

Actually my point was that your average teenager is more or less attracted to the "latest and greatest" type games (enforcing your point about consoles), which in the MMO arena would be WOW. Its not meant as a negative sentiment aimed at WO

The funny thing about this article, is that if you played EQ2 (or any mmo really) for any amount of time you'd know this kind of information instantly. The researchers found that many players underestimate the amount of time they spend pla

Absolutely - I got on Wired last year by doing this. Also, perhaps sign up to something like Google Alerts for various key phrases that are relevant to your area. When stories/posts pop up that you might be able to add some value/expertise

As with most things I read on the net now, I consider it internet gossip until there is confirmation from someone who is an actual authority on the matter. For all we know (assuming the story is true), Steve has just unplugged to take some

Oh look, yet another article commenting on a public figure's health. Didn't people in general get sick of these when Britney Spears was going through her mental breakdown? All we need is someone like iJustine to do a Chris Crocker ripoff wi

That won't remove the need we have for big cinema. Exactly and to put that into perspective and using recent results, January 09 has been Hollywood's biggest January on record in terms of ticket sales. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-

Agreed, I signed up my mother with Gmail a couple months ago and she couldn't be happier. She's not really picky.

That MP3/Cd player would be awesome if the plastic down the bottom curved around a little so it would essentially be a permanently docked piece of hardware... sort of a set top device for the home rather than a mobile device. It would be re

Well, you can add a little bit of time to one task, then add some more time to another task as per the video, which is essentially for multitasking.

No offence intended to the author of this article (Jason), but this video that he authored talks about how basecamp does time tracking and to do lists, and how you can add additional time to tasks, which as far as I can tell is all for mult

Hmm, I suppose if someone wanted to be truly a dick to quicken, they could have the publicly available figures printed onto a large billboard (the ones that go on the back of trucks) and park it in front of intuit's HQ. That's one way to pr

I'm finding the best way to read these articles on this trial now, is with the Benny Hill theme song playing in the background. Try it - it works.

its been there awhile... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=362240 from 98 days ago refers to it. I also saw a recent comment by pg about 2 weeks ago that referred to it, which is how I learned of its existence.

Its more due to the brand association people have with the .com domain. When you're telling friends about sites "I found this great site, its called facebook" - for those people not in the know, the natural thing people do is to use the .co

Oh great, yet another reason to hate the Oil Industry. Without Autocorrelation there would be no Auto Tune. Without Auto Tune we wouldn't have to suffer the music of Britney Spears. Andy Hildebrand.. you've just made my list sir.

I'm not defending Wordpad whatsoever. He suggested that MS would cop flak from the EU if they included those products in their OS, which they already do. Just because they're not as good as other offerings on the market is irrelevant. The f

Paint I'd partly agree with, but regarding Wordpad I guess that really depends on your interpretation. Wordpad and the Word Processor component of Google Docs are comparable in features and lots of people laud Google's offering as good enou
