As nebulous as it is, it's more well defined than where the 700 billion bailout money would go.

<![CDATA[bpatten commented on Cat Motorcycle is, Well, an Interesting Idea, I Guess]]> Thing is, you're not really riding the jaguar. It looks more like you sit right behind the jaguar with your legs around it.

I mean, depending on your view, maybe violating a jaguar IS badass, i dunno. Seems kinda weird to me though.

<![CDATA[bpatten commented on iPod Taking Some of the Blame for Problems with Metallica's 'Death Magnetic']]> Well it's good to hear that they recognize that there's a problem, and just decided that they would rather be part of the problem instead of part of the solution.

Typical Metallica style.

I can never take them seriously after that DVD they made. It was on cable one night, they all sound like a bunch of pompous whiney bitches.

This is coming from a metal fan.

<![CDATA[bpatten commented on Rumor: Apple and AT&T Developing iPhone Tethering Plan]]> I don't understand the phobia of jailbreaking. Why pay another $$$ fee every month to tether, when you can jailbreak and do it for free?

Venture into the gray area a little bit people. Att's sticking it to you, you can at least pretend to not like it.

<![CDATA[bpatten commented on Kite Surfer Goes Out During Tropical Storm, Learns Valuable Lesson About the Power of Nature]]> I don't feel bad for him one bit. I feel bad for the guy who is hurt somewhere by no fault of his own, and isn't getting medical attention because the trauma crews are being tied up by kite surfing morons.

There's a reason it's called a natural disaster. If you're doing anything other than ducking and covering, you're wasting the hospitals time.

<![CDATA[bpatten commented on Palm Treo Pro Revealed (Lookin' Good)]]> Does anyone honestly use IR?

I've had 5-6 smartphones, all with IR. Never once used it for anything real.

5 years ago it might have made sense, because you probably didn't have a data plan, but when $20 a month gets me unlimited data, why on earth would I "beam" something when i could just email it?

I'm pretty sure like a week ago we were told if we so much as mentioned the word blend on giz, that we'd get the banhammer.

You ask for it, then punish those who deliver? wtf?

Just one question.

Where is my damn A2DP? MMS? seriously guys, how did "tilting scientific calculator" get priority?

]]>
<![CDATA[bpatten commented on Microsoft Spending $300+ Million To Tell Consumers Vista Doesn't Suck]]> I'm wondering why even advertise?

They already end-of-lifed XP, which means if you buy a new non-mac, you're getting vista. Combine that with the fact that the average user isn't going to go through the hassle of downgrading to XP, and it's gonna sell no matter what.

It's like good-year advertising for the tires they put on your new car, who cares? you already bought the car!

It's less than 10 min from Cincinnati.

Coincidentally, it's probably equidistant from Cincinnati and the Cincinnat Airport, which is also in KY(!?)

<![CDATA[bpatten commented on Classic Clips: Bill Gates Chews Out Microsoft Over XP]]> Say what you want about Bill, but the fact of the matter is he saw these things, and he said something about them.

You think Ballmer would have done that? F no, All Ballmer cares about is the share price.

This is why things are likely to go downhill for MS for a while now. Bill gone, Steve in charge, things arn't looking good. If you ask me, they need to go find a guy like Bill to run the company again for a while.

Measuring NASA's contributions to mankind in medicine is no different than measuring Stanford Medicine's contributions to mankind in space exploration.

Regardless, what's your contribution that's so great? You cure cancer or put a probe on mars yet? Didn't think so.

<![CDATA[bpatten commented on Nintendo Suing Nyko Over Wireless Nunchuk]]> @Stang70Fastback: IANAL, but I'm not sure how you would go about suing somebody for developing something, because it would be pretty hard to prove that it had harmed you somehow.

I don't get how companies in the electronics industry get away with this. You never hear about Honda suing some company that makes those ricer muffler tips or shift knobs.

If i buy a sprint phone, I know it's sprint. I don't need the logo to remind me every time I look at it.

Even apple at least puts their logo on the back.
