    Best Buy Employee Fired for Stopping Laptop Thief

    swampratThe correct response is to wait until they're out of the door (and thus have committed a crime) and then tackle them (being America I guess that means shoot them in the back and then ask them to return the stolen goods... no offence intended, of course). I worked for a company as a loss...

    T-Mobile Cuts Unlimited Plan to 2GB

    huskerWhat strikes me is logic over emotion. Just because they slow you down, doesn't change the fact that it is unlimited. Slow, yes, but still no absolute cap. You might argue that since it is slow there is a finite amount of content you can download until your next billing cycle, which is...

    Marco925If that was the case, why after so many tax cuts, we're in recession? we should be jumping in pools of money right now.

    Obama Admin Wants to Allow Web Wiretapping

    tleavitSeriously people! Did you read the part where it says "If served with a legal wiretapping order"... This is NO different then what they can do today with a "search warrant". Dont confuse this with the Bush administrations ok to record and monitor every single cell call made in the USA...

    Obama Admin Wants to Allow Web Wiretapping

    I would first like to thank Jane for doing a much better job of covering this than the much too political Anandtech "tech" site. It is really getting ridiculous over there... Yes the ability to trace your communications have been in place in the US since 1994, but this seems to be a grey area...

    Law Proposed to Track All Pre-paid Cell Phones

    kingnoobeNo it's not easy to take the picture out of context. If the first thing you saw was color, and screamed racism chances are you're the racist one. I'd put money on it if it was 4 white guys nobody would claim racism. And why is it only racism why isn't it also discremantion. Are there no...

    Android 2.2 ''Froyo'' Brings Better Graphics, RAM

    dman3kErr... No. Java cannot make calls to elements not contained the API. The Android NDK does not upgrade any Java API to make those calls. However, one can build his/her own API with the Android NDK to make those OpenGL calls. But that doesn't mean Froyo added an API for Java developers for...

    Android 2.2 ''Froyo'' Brings Better Graphics, RAM

    dman3kAndroid NDK is C/C++ not Java. Java developers won't get anything unless it's a java Android sdk. The NDK allows you to use C/C++, but it is to be used in conjuction with the SDK (Java). I think what they meant is that now you will be able to use Java to make API calls to access OpenGL...

    Steve Jobs: Folks Who Want Porn Can Buy Android

    ceejerWhy do people here always think it has to be ideological when it comes to Apple's decisions? There's a much simpler answer. Apple is a corporation, just like any other. They have a brand image to define and maintain, and the image they're going for would clearly be tarnished by the...

    Steve Jobs: Folks Who Want Porn Can Buy Android

    dannyaaHuge Props to Steve. I fully support keeping porn off the iPhone. It is sad to me that our culture has slipped so much from the times when pornography was a shameful thing to something that is widely supported and OKed. It's perverse and disgusting.Sex is beautiful because sex is about...
