Comment Re:Crony Despotism in Action (Score 1) 133

I can't even imagine what would have to fall into place so there would be even the most remote possibility that Ellison's job could ever be taken from him. I'm pretty sure he can have whoever he wants as his #2 and his job will be secure until he wants to give it up and then he'll probably pick his own successor.

Comment Re:Bumper solves and creates a problem (Score 4, Informative) 435

What I didn't realise until I read a review recently is that although the Bumper solves the antenna issue, it means that you cannot plug in your standard iPod/iPhone connectors!

I have my iphone plugged in with the bumper now. There's a clearly defined hole of which to plug in the connector. Perhaps your reviewers got the bumper installed upside down?

Comment Re:Now websites choose terms on browsing (Score 1) 315

Weren't we just a few years ago complaining that browsers displayed pages differently and we were looking for all browsers to adapt open standards so they would look alike?

Now we have someone upset because he wants to make someones page look different and they don't want it. My how times change

Comment Re:So what? (Score 1) 466

There is a poster on every other general tech site who says "" loves Apple". If every tech site except the dedicated windows/linux site loves Apple, isn't there the slight chance there is a decent reason for it? I'm guessing you aren't the biggest fan of Apple since you felt the need to make this routine Apple bias post.

I can't wait till someone makes it possible to filter out the hate from any and all threads that pertain to said company. Threads would be probably less than half as long :)

Comment Re:So the obvious solution is... (Score 1) 405

The idea seems good enough but then they might just start making stuff up to get settlements since their income is based on it. . i'm guessing dealing with the SEC is similar to the IRS where you're assumed guilty until you can convince them you're innocent. If the lawsuits start piling up, a cost/benefit analysis might show its easier to settle and pay a small fine to the SEC and not admit wrong doing instead of fighting it.

Comment Re:Huh- why? (Score 1) 278

Most people probably can't explain the "WHY" of a stocks movement from day to day. Are you expecting people to not buy stocks? If everyone was on the same page about financial products, we'd be pretty close to 'perfect markets' and no one would make much money. It's because so few have any idea why something is worth what it is in a market that people bother to get in to it: to make money off someone else's misunderstandings.
