    Texas Bill Aims to Stop Companies from "Throttling" Internet Service during Disasters

    Hmm, didn't a federal organization propose a rule that would have stopped this from even being an issue?

    HTC Sales Are down over 61% in 2018

    This decline is in near perfect parallel with my own reflection of the company. I can't recommend HTC to my friends and family after my own experiences with their hardware failures in my HTC 10 phone and customer support to get a freakin official HTC image to flash my phone. Using HTC makes me...

    The Next AAA Publisher Crash May Already be Here

    I don't buy the idea the AAA companies are crashing. This isn't a crash - it's a market correction triggered by investors waking up to the "same old formula" fact we've known in the gaming world for years. Why a "correction" and not a "crash"? Look at each of these stocks he's mentioned over...

    Blockchain Secured Voting via a Smartphone App Has Gone Live in West Virginia

    All the editing that went into this video to put this all together, and you couldn't get the audio to loop without an awkward pause in the dead center of the video?

    220V 30A Heated Shower Head Will Add a Jolt of Excitement to Showering

    When I lived in China, there was a similar device we had on our kitchen sink faucet. I don't think the electric circuitry was nearly as strong, but it did the similar thing of heating water on the fly. We never opened it up, so not sure if it had the same lack-of-safety in the design, but it...

    China Lacks the Decades of Sustained Investment to Compete as a Tech Innovator

    Very true! But if you put your guanxi at risk too much, they'll abandon you. Not only do you not get the advantages of moving up the proverbial rungs of society, but you'll also lose the protection from corruption and accusations your guanxi often can shield you from. I witnessed this - or...

    China Lacks the Decades of Sustained Investment to Compete as a Tech Innovator

    So much of the issue in China is a cultural one. Ingrained in centuries of Confucius teachings comes a belief that to become a master, you don't challenge other masters' ideas with new ones directly, but emulate other masters' ideas and maybe build upon them. In other words, say what they say...

    Crackdown 3 May Be Delayed Until 2019

    Am I the only one concerned that a group of 4 people require 12-14 cloud servers alone to support their destruction?! How many servers are they looking at buying/leasing/supporting to support the millions of potential players?!

    Facebook Adding Ads to the Marketplace

    I'm not sure how this is "lame." I mean, if there's an appropriate place for a company to put ads, it's in a place where people are actively thinking about spending money.

    GTC 2018 Live Keynote

    AMD's focus moving to the Intel partnership has potentially released SOME pressure off of NVIDIA, but the real thanks for a lack of new card is cryptomining. After all, why release a new product when you still can't keep your old one in stock after nearly 2 years of manufacturing? Milking the...

    GTC 2018 Live Keynote

    And when your customers STILL can't get your current iteration of GPUs at MSRP due to strong demand, it makes sense they would (potentially) slow down the release cycle for the next iteration and milk this one for all it's worth, and instead turn some of that R&D money - let alone massive GPU...

    GTC 2018 Live Keynote

    Exactly what I'm talking about. Points that he wants to be more important than they are. Is it cool? Yeah it is. Is it as cool as he's making it out to be? Absolutely not.

    GTC 2018 Live Keynote

    Exactly. It's like there are certain points he WANTS to be important, even though half or them are not. And those that ARE important don't need to be repeated 15 times!

    GTC 2018 Live Keynote

    Is it THIS presentation or does Huang normally repeat certain phrases back to back over and over?
