No, the problem of misdirected anger is unsurprising. And it's especially predictable with groups such as Anonymous who in their writings come off as pompous, childish, self-centred, and self-aggrandizing. Not the kind of traits that correl

Hmmm. I don't believe people use the term 'iPod' to refer to any old MP3 player.

I'll need to look into that - haven't seen this option surfaced anywhere in the mobile or desktop sites. Edit: I can see it in desktop upload - I must not have used that for a while. I uploaded a big image as 'high resolution' (actually, yo

A version of this where everyone not pale pink wasnt mapped to #000 might be interesting. Asia alone must account for more than 30% of the world's population.

To answer this question, we'd need to know whether various things will change in the future: Will criminals stop wanting to scam people? Will non-technical users somehow get more savvy? Will the Apple userbase get smaller and thus less

No, but they can help solve the problem of gullible people downloading and running installers for known malware. Honestly, listening to some Mac user responses to this problem, it's like entering a timewarp back to when all the measures imp

As the OS gets more popular, Apple will need to add the kind of protective features present in Windows to deal with this sort of problem. Dismissing it isn't gonna work - this kind of malware is the problem these days rather than viruses. A

Well, OK. It's two 'X' ballots compared to one 1..n ballot. You could argue each way which is more complicated. And I agree that neither is sufficiently complicated to disqualify it. What I would say is that the mechanics of AV are more (ps

I have to disagree. It's a list of options, albeit taller than a sheet of A4. Instructions: put a cross next to your choice. If that ballot paper is confusing then you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

I think it's a property of the sentiment itself, rather than the quote. But that's just me - I like it when evil people meet their comeuppance; I thought it was good that OBL was executed, although I'm not the air-punching, brewski chugging

You can claim 'sociological issues' all you like, but when people see you're a fantasist with a laughable view of how the world works, and you're dealing in sly insinuation and race baiting... 'sociological issues' aint gonna cut it. Well,

IE9 is looking pretty dated at this point. 2D acceleration when the competition is doing this? On the positive side, it shouldn't be too hard for them to add this functionality to IE10. They just have to choose between showing a blank pag

Sealed classes , oh the humanity. You should maybe have a lie down. By the way, WebGL doesn't work in my Chrome install (10.0.648.205, ubuntu). Is it something that I need to switch on?

I am liking the pugnacious tone. I suspect that with IE9 shipped, they feel they've earned the right to make a forceful argument on how browser development should happen. " Hey kid. Releasing a new version every few weeks ain't professional
