4. Comment - RadioShack calls itself 'The Shack' in attempt to modernize image

   Beta 1 (Aug 3, 2009 - 4:57 PM)

   The problem with RadioShack isn't their name. The problem is that nobody knows what the hell the brand stands for these days. What is it that RadioShack actually specializes in? Nothing.
   
   You walk into their store and they have a small inventory of known-brand products in a variety of categories: Home networking, Home theater, Electronic toys, Cell phones, and a variety of batteries. None of these ranges are extensive, they're not necessarily experts across all of them, and I don't see much price differentiation.
   
   Why would I shop there? I wouldn't, and I don't.
   
   On the few occasions I've actually gone into their stores looking for something specific that I'd expect them to carry I'd say a third of the time they haven't carried it or they've been out of stock.
   
   "When a brand becomes a friend"? That would imply me knowing what your brand represents and having a positive experience around that.

5. Comment - Microsoft calls omission of IE8 CSS rendering in Office 2010 a 'powerful' feature

   "Word also provides security benefits that are not available in a browser: Word cannot run web script or other active content that may threaten the security and safety of our customers," he wrote."
   
   Sure. On the other hand doesn't Word run VBScript and didn't Melissa worm in fact leverage this in past? Or did Microsoft change all that...

6. Comment - Nvidia's licensing situation with AMD is just as bad as with Intel

   Beta 1 (Apr 23, 2009 - 8:23 PM)

   Intel, AMD, and nVidia should not be able to lock each other or anyone else out of platform interoperability at this level.
   
   Monoculture is dangerous and leads to stagnation of innovation through poor competition.

7. Comment - Confirmed: Time Warner Cable users impacted by DDoS attack

   Beta 1 (Feb 27, 2009 - 9:46 AM)

   What about teleworkers in SoCal who can't do their job because of these attacks? What about people contributing the the US economy by making purchases online, students doing research, people selling on eBay? The list goes on.
