CompleteMoron2··on Fixing Windows 8 (2013)
I took a look at this. Excellent work on his part!

I still use windows and Metro is just forced full screen apps that dont even work with the desktop classic . One thing apple got right was not to mixed iOs with MacOS (or whatever it is you guys call it) - Microsoft once again tried to stuff the kitchen sink into one OS.

I'd actually like to - corny as it sounds - literally just have a smart widows logo floating around. It pops up when I hit the windows button on the keyboard, and it always finds an empty blank spot on the desktop to appear in to be ready.

When i click on it this floting windows logo has literally four flyouts from it that contain a way to access apps, documents, email, and yuch - social feeds. (maybe its configurable so its for settings) - might work well for touch screens too.

Of course these flyouts would be configurable to be a palette of your choice.

Of course I'm not a designer and have terrible ideas - so into the ether with this rant and Prepare for downvote!

CompleteMoron2··on Startup NY – tax free 10 years
incredible! That is a great offer, and NY is hard on you for rent. I wonder how recent your startup has to be or can you just legally change entities and operate anew.

I have a new startup coming together that I am just about to setup in NYC. Awesome!

CompleteMoron2··on How $5 can wipe out your traffic
i have a sleazy friend that hires people from overseas on fiver to drive him to the top of local search results and drive the competition to the bottom.

It's easy and it fits in with his personality! He truly makes $$$$$ sitting at home. He should make a Pay for Seminar

CompleteMoron2··on Retrospective: Google Wave
Sounds like a multi-user online whiteboard more than a email.

Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen when you invite your spouse to the wrong google "wave"

CompleteMoron2··on Flying Donkey Challenge – cargo robots in Africa
thanks for this, I think i might spend some time and $$$ going for this challenge
CompleteMoron2··on Why I Dropped Dropbox and got OwnCloud
Just a quick smattering of thoughts:

You can get free DropBox space when you buy android tablets and phones. I think between a tablet and a htcone I scored like 500GB's at Dropbox.

Public cloud is not for sensitive data - its for transferring lame documents and media between places. Usually the people who are worried about security for data in public forums usually dont actually have any data anyone wants to steal.

CompleteMoron2··on Hardware Hackathons Are Hard
they arent hard - you know whats hard? Realizing the winners always already had a prototype (software or hardware) and really just practice their sales pitch for two days for the win

But hey - we now all know you dont win by actually starting the day of the hackathon

CompleteMoron2··on Amazon to Raise Fees as Revenue Disappoints
Aww. Just as I started watching their expensive TV shows! Alpha House season one was really good.

I also liked the shipping - but now that I have seen Paris at $75 will I want it at $110?

CompleteMoron2··on N_is_stolen: It seems that Twitter simply ignored my claim
there are people starving in other places besides Africa. I see you just did a knee jerk reaction and didn't answer my query.

What's so important about N and this twitter name that the world has to stop just for him to get it back?

CompleteMoron2··on Wifijammer – Continuously jam all wifi clients and access points around you
everything is traceable.

I mean if I was going to do it, I would actually get a raspberry pi and either a board mounted wifi or a usb wifi adapter and then run this.

portable and away from something silly like you uploading a JPG with EXIF data to a server from the same MAC address.

CompleteMoron2··on N_is_stolen: It seems that Twitter simply ignored my claim
why is this guy getting so much press for a twitter name when people are starving in the world and there are ideas to be made manifest?

Can someone explain it to me a a complete moron?

CompleteMoron2··on Zuckerberg makes $3B in one day as Facebook stock surges
wow! that's incredible. Well FB is making money now that its just old people on it.

He is a permanent fixture on the global investment scene.

start pitching

CompleteMoron2··on Secret – Share anonymously with your friends. Speak freely
So you guys do realize that all the data that goes across the AT&T network and other carriers are all monitored and that packets are tagged with info that goes back to your GSM or CDMA network entrypoint with a new ID.

This isnt how to make an anonymous secure network for sharing. It only obscufates it for those who are poor at tracking you or companies that mine your public data for sale - although technically that anonymous nature still doesnt work unless everyone uses the network. If your sister is still on a public social network and posts photos of you , or references to your job - you will still be mined.

So that said. Whats up?
