    Internet Freedom Is Actively Dissolving in America

    I was going to say from what I've read it's not just the USA. Sadly so many of the children/young adults will go happily along with all this since they don't know what it was once like. Never thought I'd get old enough to say something like that. We have long been leaving the world of...

    What did Mars ever do to you that you should wish such a vile thing on it?

    J.J. Abrams Talks Starkiller Base And General Hux In The Force Awakens

    Except Voyager is great more exploring like in the original good characters and a strong sense of what Roddenberry tried to do make future worth time traveling too. The first two seasons of Enterprise were good too though they did rehash a lot of stuff but from an earlier perspective...

    First Major Update For Windows 10 Available Today

    Thanks for the clarification, guess I'll have to upgrade now. Still seems weird they would do that in the swipe menu I mean what possible reason is there for reducing it (if they changed the type of control maybe but to loose functionality and still have a slider is strange)? Is it easier on...

    Police Pulled Over Google's Self-Driving Car

    In CA you are required by law to pull over and let cars pass if there are 5 or more cars behind you (when it is safe to pull over of course). The story I read said there was "a line of cars behind" it and was doing 25mph in a 35 zone: if it was 5 or more he should indeed have pulled it over and...

    Xbox One Sees 81 Percent Growth Over Last Year

    Well when I bought the PS4 last year, it seemed much less reliant on an internet connection than the Xbox 1. At least everything I read seemed to indicate a good experience on it needed a good internet connection and I wasn't thrilled by the subscription fees either. I've really only found one...

    First Major Update For Windows 10 Available Today

    Does it restore the functionality of the brightness slider on a SurfacePro? I'd upgrade my SP to Win10 as I'm going to need to test my programs on it eventually (won't upgrade my desktop), but not if I can't get decent control of the brightness, I mostly use it in the very dim range as it hurts...

    Xbox One Sees 81 Percent Growth Over Last Year

    As my internet speeds in the day now often drop to 25Kbps I'm more glad than ever I didn't get an Xbox 1. Glad so many people can get good internet. My PS4 just gathers dust though, guess I'm just not the console type. Of course when the desktop dies out I guess I'll have to get with the...

    iPad Pro Performs Poorly In Teardown Report

    I've given up and now my only concern is the battery. I simply will no longer buy a battery operated device in which I can't easily replace the battery. It would be nice if these types of devices were built to be easily serviced but given the way things are these days, the best I can hope for...

    Tim Cook Declares The End Of The PC

    No I didn't get this from a TV show if you had bothered to read what I wrote you would know this. The mention of the ideas from 1900 was an example of how predictions can go right and wrong. Your blanket statement of predictions made in the 1970's is just plain wrong and rather silly.

    Tim Cook Declares The End Of The PC

    You must not have been reading a lot of sci-fi books--if you consider them future speculations they were all over the place, from 'not much a future' to 'gee wiz space stuff' to 'robots and computers do everything' and everything in between. While there was some hype about Skylab and stuff...

    Is Windows 10 Telemetry A Threat To Your Personal Privacy?

    And once again I'll point out privacy or no if you have crappy internet service to begin with it will go to unusable when windows decides to transfer it's data (Windows, in my experience, invariably chooses to do updates during peak hours which is why I have them turned off in 8.1 so I can...

    Carmakers Can't Use The DMCA To Make Working On Your Car Illegal

    Dang I was going to tell you to keep your sword away from my Ford. Sure it wasn't a Freudian slip? Well expect maybe today when like John Cleese I wanted to thrash the thing since, while the aircon works fine, the heater only blows cold, of course I find that out a few days before it's...
