WsAMP would be a more appropriate, recognizable, brandable and less clashing name.

"MTV Scratch — a corporate cousin of the TV network responsible for Jersey Shore", I like how they say "responsible" akin to a criminal action. +1
"The court did not allow Samsung to use any prior evidence showing that Apple copied others"

wow. but they all know dont they. system of law that accommodates and encourages process over problem is what needs to be eradicated.

Vast majority of the "copies" that Apple is accusing Samsung of doing in the exhibits Apple has shown so far are in the UI.

I do not think Apple has grounds in accusing Samsung of Hardware "copying". Design is nothing but organised copying and perhaps a little improv as well.

"Apple take ideas from Braun and put them into different contexts" -> that nailed it.

mute ambient videos, play series of videos (playlists), image alternate for touch devices. These are not available out of the box on Tubular.

BigVideo.js would be a FAR better alternative; if you can just fix the browser compatibility issues :)

a better, more compatible alternative would be: http://www.seanmccambridge.com/tubular/

upload your video to youtube, and use Tubular to serve it. +save bandwidth

or modify the JS to use an flv swf on your server.

this is a generic windows issue. usually noticed by users who switch over to it after using a mac for a while. lets just say font-aliasing is not one of windows strengths.

Re:Microsoft's New Business Plan on Monday July 30, 2012 @03:15AM (#4311256)
Too little, too late? While Microsoft fantasizing about an ecosystem to thrive on; there are plenty others that have an established footing and beyond.

I have already put down my WP7 phone, not pleased that I cant upgrade to WP8. I am sure the MILLIONS of lumia owners will never pick up one again either.

Re:Are Indian High Schoolers Manning Your IBM Help Desk? on Tuesday July 24, 2012 @02:09AM (#4284548)
Fact is that a university is not the only place where you can get post high school education in India. Training diplomas and skill based vocational education s very prevalent here. Rest assured that no jobs at technical setups are going to fresh out of high school students.
