DISQUS

2 GB RAM, 150 GB HDD, and a great nVidia Go, is what my laptop came with (and Vista of course).

Un-installed Vista a month after purchasing the laptop, and installed XP on it.

:(

Maybe it's just me, but I think that today's GUI operating systems have achieved near perfection. And the next release of Windows better be something radically different.

And can you imagine the fact that Jobs was a hacker back in the 80's?

Completely agree with you there.

EU Court not U.K. court as far as I know?

Yes I know the UK is in the EU, but as far as I know all the main EU courts are in belgium and the netherlands.

Great redesign, I love the front nav menu and the two sentence long definition of your blog. The short definition and picture you have to the right of it really makes your blog stand out, btw your last design also stood out.

Although I was secretly hoping for a logo :o .

Thanks for mentioning me mate! And hey i don't alwaaays take that many vacations :) ? Anyway school is about to start in a few days so I'll be at home all the time.

Can't wait to see it! :)

So true, but I just can't stop laughing at this one - guess why.

Exactly, and that's the whole point.

Sony wants Blu-Ray to win since it brings, or rather said it will bring, heaps of money to them. If, as Sony says, the PlayStation 3 is a "long term investment" then in the case of Blu-Ray's victory over HD-DVD people will want a cheap Blu-Ray player, i.e. PS3. When more people star buying the PS3 as a cheap and reliable Blu-Ray player and media center then inherently more and more will gradually start playing games on it.

We all know consoles last ~6 years, and formats even longer.

So it could be a win-win situation for Sony?!

Well from a gaming & sales perspective the PS3 has not been successful.

But you must look at the PS3's sales from another perspective as well, the PS3 has been an immensely successful console for the Blu-Ray camp.

I fully agree with you, blog piracy can be extremely destructive especially for small blogs (i.e. a more popular blog decides to republish your smaller blog's content without your consent).

Solution?

Hmm, save your text in an image format and add a watermark? :)

There goes the $100 million that was used for security! :D

Actually if I wrote a book, I would submit it to The Pirate Bay immediately.

I like the idea of the new service, but I just hope the webmaster keeps it organized. Requesting an invitation is hard enough, managing a community based on invitation requests is just, funny. :P

I expect invitations for popular services such as Joost to be successful, invitations for smaller apps, and yet unheard of websites or applications, are probably going to be scarce.

Hope it works!

Simplify. Yep. That's the magic word.

*lifts The Pirate Bay banner high up into the air*

*attacks MPAA with an axe*

Seriously the music/film industry has to adapt, you can't stop illegal downloading, it's like trying to stop the usage of drugs in a country ...

... unless of course, the MPAA takes a more Singaporean approach to the whole thing.

What?

Russia closing an "illegal" (yeah the quotations represent my philosophy :) ) webiste?

That's weird, especially since it wasn't a anti Putin site :)

Great list.

I'm off to buy them at Amazon... :)

I haven't read it but they say that We The Media is a great book. Google it for more information.

Gizmodo has live coverage of the event

Well they just redesigned the start page. But could this be a start of a whole Google redesign?

Does it actually have a camera?

Yeah I know, I have to buy myself something like that.

Oh, speaking of phones and tablets... I still use the , works like a charm :) .

Right, so, first of all.

It's not Nokkkkiiiiiia.

Other than that I agree with you, the N770 is a really good tablet/phone. However I think the N800 already exists so you might want to get that considering the fact that the N770 is 2 years old.

Go Nod 32! I've been using since who knows when. As for Norton, which just happens to be preinstalled into every second computer these days, well, I suggest staying away from it.

What really?

YouTube was banned in Thailand? :) . I completely agree with you, never insult monarchs. I suggest a massive anti-British-Queen-YouTube-party perhaps?

DSL, how fast?

Damn, I love living in Europe, we're 3000 miles away from AT&T and AOL over here :)
