  on If Your Product Placement Is Obvious And Awkward, You're Doing It Wrong
  It's so awkward it hurts.
  I do like when 30 Rock does product placement though, it always makes me laugh.

  on Don't Blame Your Community: Ad Blocking Is Not Killing Any Sites
  I pay over $100/month for internet.
  I paid for my computer.
  If I don't want ads displayed on my computer over the connection I paid for, I won't.

  on Facebook Restores Accounts Of 3 Critics It Mysteriously Deleted
  Facebook has got to be one of the most schizophrenic companies out there. On one hand they delete profiles on a whim. On the other hand, they won't let people delete their own profiles via Web 2.0 Suicide Machine. Make up your mind Facebook. Sheesh.

  You'd be surprised how many lonely geeks out there fool themselves in to believing otherwise.

  Why not....

  on Awkward Stock Photo Blog Hit With DMCA Claim
  Maybe I glazed over this point, but why didn't he just buy the photos? iStockPhotos' prices are pretty reasonable. He could've spent a buck or 2 a photo and been legit.

  on PayPal Suspends WikiLeaks Account Yet Again; Freezes Assets
  Paypal is not a federally insured bank, thus they do not have to play by federal banking laws. They play by their own rules, and is why any money I end up with in Paypal is immediately transferred out. A few years ago I had a nightmare experience where Paypal decided to freeze my account for an eBay auction which I had sold an item over $1k. There was nothing wrong with the transaction other then Paypal wanting proof I had sold what I said I had in the auction. It seemed very odd that Paypal would step in on it's own accord with no issues from either party and just freeze an account like that, but that is what they did, and since then I have never trusted them with my money.

  on So Is Verizon Cutting Users Off Or Not?
  Because if you are doing as you say you are, then you would never be accused of illegal file sharing, thus you have nothing to worry about. Upload away good seeder.

  Home users wouldn't use DRM features... so I fail to see your point.

  What, you couldn't get your favorite buzzword "draconian" in this article? I thought for sure I was going to see it...

  "Fanatic"?
  Hardly. It takes 5 minutes to set up a program like httrack to rip a website daily or even hourly.

  The Heart of the Matter

  on Modern Warfare 2 Shows How To Piss Off Fans
  Someone at IW or Activision made the decision to NOT make a PC version. They have simply ported over the console version.
  I feel like this is the real reason why all of the missing features.
  They are trying to cut corners and they will pay for it with poor sales on the PC platform, which they will see as a reason to abandon PC gaming like others have.

  on Time For Palm To Drop WebOS And Embrace Android
  Of course they are, they are HTC's. HTC has done this in every single device it has ever made. They have a reputation for using last-gen under-powered chipsets and MINIMAL amounts of storage and ram to operate what ever goliath mobile OS they are trying to cram on their devices.
  It's time for someone to step up and slap HTC in the face and say "THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE"
