Re: How Price Comparison Site Results in Google Hurt Consumers

Angela, the thing about price comparison sites is that they offer price comparisons. Sometimes (most often) I don't want that. In fact I only want the price of something at the end of my purchase-making decision. They just shouldn't show up when I Google for a review or other articles. The worst thing they do, as Devindra said, is that they mascarade themselves as review sites, and that is not only annoying but also wrong.

Re: On The Palm Foleo (What the Hell Were They Thinking?) & Asus Eee

The best thing about the Foleo is that it works wonderfully (supposedly) with the smartphones. I'm sure that many smartphone using people would love the "flip open device, do internet things" concept. Why not make it an USB addon or a piece of software available for normal laptops?

The kind of people who got a PS3 on launch day, not for eBay?
The kind of people who are just too damn rich?
The kind of people who are stupid?
Sony executives? (See above.)

Re: Why Doesn’t Emusic Carry Over Unused Tracks Every Month?

Yup, what Jaxon said was exactly what eMusic explained to its users when it switched to the song/month model. Many people were unhappy, it seems.

The problem I have with eMusic is that it's not weird enough. It's the most indie-friendly music download service out there as far as I know, but it's nowhere near comprehensive enough.

Re: TV Review: Battlestar Galactica Season 4.5 Premiere - What Did You Think?

1 - The whiteboard is actually not too inefficient. All they have to do is track how many people died (and were born) everyday and then update the total. I'd assume that all the captains would make a report immediately if someone died or gave birth of their ship.

2 - Was the FRAK EARTH graffiti the first time we're seen FRAK written out in the show?

3 - Gaeta, the other minor-but-important-voice in the CIC, seems to be breaking down in an even more interesting way. I really hope they'll continue to fuck with his character.

4 - I refuse to believe that Ellen is the thirteenth Cylon model. It feels too disconnected and feels like a red herring. But then again, when BSG characters make a revelation they are almost 100% right.
