Comment - A salute to a true managing editor: Walter Cronkite (1916-2009)
(Jul 18, 2009 - 8:51 PM)

A broad statement somewhat related: at least, internet news makes it harder for certain countries to spew straight propaganda without there being an available counterpoint at hand for citizens to determine what they think rings true.

Yeah, Cronkite really stuck it to Mudd, didn't he?

Ditto, here too.

Maybe cell phones should just be banned altogether
Comment - Opera 10 beta sports a new look, 23% boosted performance
(Jun 3, 2009 - 7:51 PM)

Well, that's good! I'd use Opera as a secondary browser, if it weren't for a couple things concerning the interface & RSS feeds.

Browser competition's good and users reap the benefits...esp., people on dial-up like me. I like my Minefield with my custom theme & multiple row bookmarks toolbar- with the bottom loaded up with RSS feeds for quick surfin'.

I'm always going over & checking on Opera, though.....maybe, one of these days....
Comment - IE8 loads pages faster, but not fast enough, in Microsoft test recreation
(Mar 26, 2009 - 6:56 AM)

A better comparison than previous articles; nice job.

So that makes Chrome about even w/the new trunk builds per your test, which sounds about right. I honestly, didn't see chrome loading pages very fast, when I tried it for the last several days- but that wasn't a "factory build"- rather, an ad-blocking "hack" full of scripts for site surfin'. So- like I said: "sounds about right".
Comment - Diebold admits serious design flaw in e-voting machines
(Mar 21, 2009 - 12:19 PM)

"that the lame @ss voting function means something" is prob, an over-generalized statement, IMO. Clinton prob, thought along those lines 'til the elections of '94, when busloads of comrades departed.

Paraphrasing (short hand)-"He said- she said"....the bottom line is that the machines can be/possibly,were compromised(doh). Yep, I agree.
