  • The way they present the new settings are confusing: "Everyone or Old Settings." Why can't they tell you what your old settings are? Many people have never changed their default settings, and I don't remember what my old setting are. I selected Old Settings, and then went to the settings page to see what they were.

    The 3rd party app privacy settings are confusing. I didn't think so at first, but I was getting confused. In reply to: "Facebook details new privacy settings"

  • This is starting to sound like a YouTube comment thread. Way to go, commenters.

    I like using the keyboard shortcuts, but have had a hard time remembering the ones for GMail.

    This guy accomplished something where there was a need, while you just sat at home and bashed him and CNet. In reply to: "Hardware for Gmail: The 'Gboard' keyboard"

  • The Verizon Droid monthly plan costs more than the iPhone. That's insane. I would not pay for the iPhone, and I sure won't pay for the Droid.

  • Using #blamedrewscancer in your twitter post does not cost anything.

    And was it really "clever" for Drew O to use the name @Drew? Did he plan to auction it off from the very beginning? Such as buying the domain www.pizza.com when the internet was very new? In reply to: "Drew Carey bids big for personal Twitter name"

  • I like Drew Olanoff being just @drew because it shows how he was part of twitter at the start. I found podcasting because of The Best Damn Tech Show, which Drew O was a part of. He was there at the early parts of some great stuff.

    If I had the money to bid for @drew, I think I would just pay the bid, but it would feel weird taking over the name.

    Fan to Drew *Someone*: Wow, you've been on Twitter a long time to get "@drew".
    Drew *Someone* to Fan: Um, actually I bought it from a kid with cancer.
    Fan: cricket cricket...

    Maybe I've just made a more personal connection with twitter names. Something that only happens with local business names, but not big chains. In reply to: "Drew Carey bids big for personal Twitter name"

  • @viper396 AT&T just said they can't provide protection for Mitnick and will drop him as a customer. Time to catch up to the present and realize you don't know everything. In reply to: "Cracking GSM phone crypto via distributed computing"
