    Rumor: iPhone 5, iPad Mini, New iPods Coming

    You have to commemorate Macintosh for at least one thing: They have unbelievably effective marketing. Maybe Steve should come and sell ice for $500/kilogram in Canada, surely someone would pay.

    Feds Abused Privacy by Storing Body Scan Images

    warezmeFrom someone who fought in those wars, I disagree. There should be a reason for me or anyone else to be taking up arms and laying our lives. That reason is to protect your rights or we just become a war mongering fascist state. +1 to you, my kind sir.

    iPhone 4 Hacked for Jailbroken Carrier Unlock

    paigeinfullAm I the only one that thinks comments like these are a little too over the top? You're abusing a great man's speech in the civil rights movement to compare to AT&T (not apple) restricting a phone to their network. I realize it was done in humor but it's kind of offensive To some...

    Your Cell Phone is Way Dirtier Than a Toilet Handle

    I used to work with waste management. I phone fell into garbage a few times. I've never cleaned it (except for oils off the LCD). My keyboard is likely far worse though (several roomies that use it). I use to clean my old keyboard often, but my new keyboard takes a while to disassemble, so I...

    Town Uses Google Earth to Look for Illegal Pools

    nezzymightyUltimately, you can choose which laws to obey. But this doesn't preclude you from those laws. These individuals committed crimes. They must pay the penalties according to those offenses. They are harming society because they are not following the letter of the law. Case in point - if...

    Town Uses Google Earth to Look for Illegal Pools

    back_by_demandAs no-one was asked permission for Google to photograph from orbit, could the usage of the pictures constitute an illegal search?See you in court. I support this. If I want to build a pool in my backyard, they only thing I'll do is call the city to make sure there isn't any...

    Holographic Radar Promises Better Mine Clearing

    How To Restore Your Beige Retro Hardware

    I tried buying some high concentration hydrogen peroxide, but no one would sell it to me. Screw this 3% stuff at home or 20% you buy in chem shops. I wanted the 85-90% stuff. :( Cool to know though. Think a couple lil UV cold cathodes in my case would be enough?

    Procedure to Root Droid X Revealed

    ShloaderYou say that but you offer no real supporting argument. Good business for who? Their sources of sponsored apps? I'll try and better explain my stance on this. I see the Android OS much along the same lines as I see Ubuntu. I think the two are somewhat comparable, maybe even very...
