    Uber-Style Flight-Sharing Service Shot Down by U.S. Court

    As harmless as this seems. It paves the way for a new challenge to Uber, and that is licensing. You will see cities and states start requiring a special license to run a cab server and push that on Uber drivers.

    Why Apps Really Hit iOS Before Android

    Most of those are excuses by fanboys. There are multiple development tools, but the 'fun' of programming has little to do with it. Economics make Android a platform for apps because it has a MUCH larger install base, and far more devices. That also makes it a challenge. A lot of iPhone apps...

    FCC Wants To Make Your Broadband Faster

    Higher minimum speeds limit availability in rural areas. Providers want this tho, so they can get a bunch of money for the upgrades they were doing anyway. RIGHT NOW, Comcast, Verizion, AT&T, etc are all fighting over customers and speeds are going up, while prices are going down. The LAST...

    Amazon Workers Reject Proposal To Form Union

    RTW states have lower unemployment and lower taxes and lower cost of living. Can you point to ANY COUNTRY ON THE PLANET that does not have inequality? I would argue our march toward socialism has created a greater disparity in income because those who would otherwise fail and be removed...

    Z87 with DUAL 16x PCI-E 3.0

    ASUS boards don't seem to have dual 16x. I noticed the Asus Formula, and Extreme both have dual 8x. I was wondering if there is a reason. ASRocks, Gigabyte, and MSI have it, and Asus has it on the Z87-WS, but not the enthusiast boards.

    Connecticut Town To Burn Violent Video Games

    What is the fascination with inanimate objects? First it's the guns fault, like it can pull it's own trigger. Then it was a movies fault, like fiction is reality or something. Now it's video games fault. Why is it never the killers, and his parents fault?

    MSI Z77 MPower LGA1155 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    With so many boards today with up to six SATA 6.0, and 16x16 SLI, spending the money on a high end board with only TWO SATA 6.0, and only 8x8 SLI is weak. I'd gladly pay $100 more for those two things.

    Google To Cut 4000 Motorola Mobility Jobs

    They make good points. Moto had 20 new smartphones last year. Quit catering to every minor idea and come up with 3-6 good new models a year. Up volume per, lower cost per, and innovate.

    Apple Responds To Tax Criticism

    I would argue NONE of them should be getting corporate welfare, and ALL of them should be paying taxes. Can we have a flat tax yet?
