    *Casts line* *sniff* Fisherman1: Did you fart? Fisherman2: Nah, it's the worms... gotta squeeze them before putting them on your line... Fisherman1: Squeeze the worms? Fisherman2: Yeah, they were on sale at the Pro Bass Shop... said something about being previously used to...

    Fisherman 1 - Drone 0

    As a native San Diegan who has fished Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach, I can say this: 1) It is not very noisey at all out there because it is a rule to remain quiet at all times and most people on the pier are silently focused on their fishing anyways. The rule: No Disturbing Noise...

    Here's the TDLR version as I understand it (posted by another, reiterated here): 1) No Blocking - An ISP cannot legally block any "legal content" for any reason what-so-ever. EXAMPLE: Comcast cannot prvent you from getting to Disney's website anymore just because they are having a cable TV...

    Samsung: Our Smart TVs Do Not Monitor Living Room Conversations

    If you bought it at Costco, you can still return it. Not sure about other store policies, but it would not hurt to check. You have 7 days right to return at several places. The TV is nice and all... I got mine at Christmas and do like the Smart interface, but I still have my reservations about...

    Target Shuts Down Its Video Streaming Service

    I saw an ad for this "Target Ticket Service" in their Electronics section and asked the guy behind the counter about it: "Ah, well, it, um... *blink* It's expensive and I hate it" His response is the only reason I even recall this existed.

    I wonder how their sales of Smart TV's have been affected by this whole eavesdropping and inserted streaming ads debacle. I personally hope it trashes them so much that their competitors (I'm looking at you LG, Panasonic and Sharp) avoid making similar mistakes with consumers. Side note, I own...

    What Tim Cook Thinks Of Android

    It will be interesting to see how well Apple is doing in 5, then 10 years from now. Their streak of success has followed a similar pattern to other well-known companies of the past and it is only a matter of time before the "next big thing" overshadows their current dominance in various...

    Microsoft Ends Windows 7 Mainstream Support Today

    Based on heuristics from 2013-2014, almost half of the XP systems finally retired in 2013 went to increasing Windows 7 shares. The other half are split between all others in an uneven format. Windows 8/8.1 saw "some" growth, but it is very negligible (7%-11.2% for 2014) and could easily be...
