    Does this mean the X-Men are going to save the Avengers?

    Microsoft Guy: Mozilla Should Give Up on Firefox and Go with Chromium Too

    You wouldn't post something like that on Twitter unless you were looking for a fight. Or had really poor judgement.

    Online Shopping Returns Fuel Growth in the Warehouse Sector

    It's hard to believe 30% of goods purchased online are returned.

    'Biohacker' Who Injected Himself with DIY Herpes Treatment Found Dead

    Well, at least he didn't turn into a supervillain.

    Hardly Anyone Is Paying Taxes on Their Bitcoin Gains as Filing Deadline Nears

    I don't mind screwing those people so it's easier for me to file my taxes correctly. :P Lol. That will certainly make filing taxes easier. Although, if you bought the crypto instead of mining it you would still want to report the capital loss to deduct it from your taxable income. It's...

    Hardly Anyone Is Paying Taxes on Their Bitcoin Gains as Filing Deadline Nears

    That's what I'm hoping for - Coinbase to provide 1040-Ds (or whatever tax form is applicable). I'm sure there are a hundred complications that have held them back from already doing so, but the fact that they have a gain/loss calculator makes me think they know legislation/regulation is just...

    Hardly Anyone Is Paying Taxes on Their Bitcoin Gains as Filing Deadline Nears

    Hopefully there will be more support in 2019 for filing taxes on cryptocurrency gains/losses made in 2018. I'm not looking forward to filling out a 1040 D manually, even with Coinbase's gain/loss tax calculator.

    Android Users 15 Times More Likely to Judge iPhone Owners Negatively

    What the hell? Where do I find these girls? My girlfriend never seems to give a shit when I get a new gadget. :(

    Former FCC Chairman Calls Ajit Pai’s Plan to Gut Net Neutrality an “Abomination”

    Probably the worst part is how they want to preempt net neutrality legislation at the state level. It's clear Ajit Pai doesn't just want to rollback regulation or hand off the responsibility to the FTC - he wants to enable ISPs to do whatever they want.

    This is why we can't have nice things.

    Petition for the Resignation of FCC Chairman Ajit Varadaraj Pai

    I signed the petition but I don't expect it to do much. No responses to 100K+ petitions have been made since Trump took office and the site itself is "under review".

    Monolith M1060 Planar Headphones Are on Black Friday Sale

    FWIW, Tyll does a very superficial comparison between the M1060 and the 4XX here. Tyll notes: "Listening in comparison, I found the M1060 more forward and strident, though with better bass. The HE4XX pretty easily sounded more refined; it's the better headphone to my ears." Around this price...

    DisplayMate: iPhone X Has the Best Smartphone Display Ever Created

    Oh, in real world use there is no problem. This is all in context of judging a screen to be "the best smartphone display ever created." I'm certainly not going to dissuade anyone from getting an iPhone X because of this tiny flaw.

    DisplayMate: iPhone X Has the Best Smartphone Display Ever Created

    Maybe the best OLED smartphone display, but the off-axis color shifting in my co-worker's iPhone X and my own Pixel 2 are really jarring to someone coming from a *traditional* SLCD screen. They made the deepest blacks ever at the cost of ruining the whites whenever you're not looking at your...

    Hey, remember when we all thought we were getting a *great deal* on the Steam Link? It's $8.69 now.

    The deal on the game itself is pretty good too. Not the longest game (took me less than 10 hours to complete and around 20 hours to unlock all achievements), but the combat feels good and the narration is hilarious. I encourage any one thinking of trying it out to play with English subtitles...
