uris··on How Can Anyone Still Hate Bill Gates?
Reads something fabricated by Newsmax.
uris··on Impenetrable? Not for long. Malware is becoming a problem for Mac OS X.
Why anything from MSNBC even makes it to HN, let alone the ridiculous content...?
uris··on Patent for dropping an image file on a textarea and having it uploaded
Also on Google+ post editor
uris··on Poll: Are you (still) using Google+
Never really used Facebook much, but I like and use Google+ regularly. A lot of my geek friends are already there, as well as many photographers. There's a thriving photography community on Google+, and it's very engaging.
uris··on Five Things Apple Can Learn From Windows 8
The visual contrast between Metro's modern look and the vulgarity of the standard Windows GUI is nauseating.

I hope Apple won't be tempted, rather, I'm sure they will not. It looks incoherent: from the the Metro UI's concept of tiles, which I dislike, to the duality of the desktop as an app. Cool for geeks, maybe, horribly confusing idea for anyone else. It's stupid to force a full fledged desktop into a tablet. Yet again, anything with a fan is not really a tablet, that's a PC.

uris··on With Apologies to John Gruber
Yes, an RSS feed please. I liked what I've seen so far, and would like to follow...
uris··on [dead]
Linkbait.

Really ? A Vista Moment? Microsoft puts ZERO innovation into it's products. They are boring and unimaginative. Stagnated metaphors and stale esthetics. Lion, on the other hand, is a natural progress for OS X, and form me, an amazing one.

It defiantly boosts my productivity. Not that Snow Leopard was bad, but I upgraded all of our computers while I was still beta testing Lion. It is simply a very useful upgrade,

uris··on Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 is the most stable mobile phone OS
That's the funniest thing I've heard all day. It's like FOX News, only tech fud.
uris··on A Eulogy for Google+
Well, is he really using G+ himself or is his stream empty because he never posts anything?

Anyways, I'm a tech guy, but also into photography (http://plus.google.com/104936988539783595605), and I must say G+ keeps me plenty busy, more then I've ever been on Facebook, where I sometimes cross post to, roughly, the same audience (non of my family members though are on G+ just yet). Actually, I like G+ for being useful, easy to use, and I give Google credit for listening and quickly adapting and evolving.

uris··on Show HN: My user-friendly outbound firewall for Mac
Is there a kernel extension involved ? What about blocking process e.g. from the terminal etc.
uris··on 27" imac + lion + playing video = crash
For me, 10.7.2 (Beta) solved the problem. Does not seem to be related to Flash, as it used to crash randomly with any type of video, in/out the browser, in Safari, or in Chrom's own etc.
