    Windows Vista Has Just 30 Days to Live

    Vista was the only OS where I had to restore from the factory reset partition multiple times due to choking on Windows Updates. I have an old Vista laptop that had to be pressed back into service. Just last week I updated it to Windows 8.1. Not that I'm a fan of 8.1, but I had a spare license...

    Windows 9: Microsoft Faces Four Daunting Challenges

    They should call it Windows 7 SP2. No point continuing forward when going in the wrong direction. Testing updates before release would be nice too. That 0.01% of computers dying is BS. I had two computers out of nine have serious problems with the August update.

    Kids’ Reactions to Old-School Rotary Phone

    The family auto repair shop still has a rotary phone. They have awesome bells that can be heard over an air wrench. It's funny as hell when a teenager walks in and asks to use the phone. We don't actually use it for outgoing calls since automated phone systems can't handle pulse anymore.

    ASUS Displays a Full Range of Z87 Motherboards

    If Haswell has integrated voltage regulators, why do all the boards have heatsinks around the CPU?

    Microsoft Kicks Off Free Office 2013 Upgrades

    Office 2010 Home and Student comes with 3 licenses. Are they only giving one license of 2013 in exchange?

    Windows 8 is the New XP

    I thought XP was great from the start. I ran the beta and RC of XP. No more quirky Soundblaster crashes that Win98 had. 8 can pull an E.T. for Atari 2600.

    Microsoft's First Windows 8 TV Spot: Love It or 8 It

    Just ordered a couple extra licenses of Windows 7, so I'm set to ride out 8.

    Linux Is Not A "Second String" Operating System

    The big three: XP, 7, Vista Porting to Linux is a waste of developer dollars that few gaming companies can afford. It is a for profit industry.

    YouTube Pushing Users To Use Real Names?

    I deleted my Youtube account when they wouldn't let me log in without creating a gmail.

    Mozilla Pulling the Plug on Thunderbird Development

    Email is a long mature technology. All I want is security fixes for the ESR version. The rapid version numbers for Thunderbird are a joke anyway. Changelog for Thunderbird 37: Updated version number to 37

    Mozilla Delivering Firefox Extended Support Release

    Finally, a real release that isn't a beta. I'll change my machines' 3.6 for the ESR as soon as all my addons are verified working. These nightly build releases are less stable, and often need an immediate .01 update to fix some error not caught during their shortened testing.

    Netflix Stock Surges

    I don't see why the stock would surge on announcing their costs are higher than expected. Videos served is a server load and possibly a licensing cost. They don't make more revenue when people utilize the service heavier.

    Hard Drive Manufacturers Slash Warranty Periods

    So is this a side effect of the mergers and reduced competition, or are they worried about the drives coming out of the flooded factories?

    Bell Ringers Taking CC Donations Via Smart Phone

    I don't pretend not to have money. It's easy to say no now, and in the future it'll be really easy to say hell no to wanting a credit card. Blame hard luck story liars for making me jaded toward anyone who contacts me. I only donate to to charities I contact first.
