    Hollywood Sees Illegal Streaming Devices as “Piracy 3.0”

    Agreed. Honestly, they also need to get rid of the DRM. It only punishes their actual paying customers. If I had the choice between paying $14.99 for a video on Amazon that is going to be downgraded to 720p or 480p because I am not running it on an "approved" HD device, or paying nothing for...

    Windows Users Should Want Windows 10 S to Succeed

    Personally, I see possibilities here, both good and bad. First off, I want to say that I am sick of Windows 10. Windows 10 has been a horrific experience as Microsoft attempts to force me to use my computer the way that they want, all in the name of protecting me. Windows 10 S is another step...

    Windows 10 Is Broken: Fix It, Microsoft!

    It feels like you two are talking past each other. Is it taking 5 hours for the KB fix to apply from WSUS, or is it taking 5 hours to install the msu manually from a download?

    MPAA: Europe’s Geo Unblocking Plans Threaten Movie Industry

    I'm merely trying to explain their position. They sell things regionally at the best prices they think the individual markets can bear. Since the "product" they sell is entirely digital, removing geolocation allows people to buy from the cheapest possible location. You'll note I used the term...

    MPAA: Europe’s Geo Unblocking Plans Threaten Movie Industry

    Here's what he's talking about, in a nutshell. Imagine you want to sell your latest movie in America. The agreements they make in America guarantee them a fixed amount of money. Let's say they charge $5.99, making $5 per watch. Now imagine you want to sell your movie in someplace like the...

    GTX 1080 Ashes of the Singularity Benchmarks

    I'm not sure if it matters, but the AMD results were run two weeks ago on an older version of the game. 19388 vs 19212.

    Court Rejects Twitter’s Transparency Lawsuit Against Justice Department

    Disappointing. The whole point of the First Amendment was to prevent government censorship of the press. If you look at the history of the Espionage Act of 1917, which was one of the first laws to codify "classified information", the original draft included the censorship of the press...

    MPAA Wants ISPs To Disconnect Persistent Pirates

    Clearly this isn't going far enough. We should also shut down their power; because it was used to run the devices pirating their stuff. We should also cut them off from medical access; because keeping them healthy allows them to continue stealing. We should cut them off from supermarkets...

    Yahoo Fixes Email Address Spoofing Bug

    This isn't that big of a deal, he's just changing the display name that he sends from. You can change this setting just by going into your account and changing the "Your Name" setting under your email account. He's not spoofing anything. You can see in the video he provides that when the...

    Comcast's Uncapped 1Gbps Service Rolling Out In Atlanta

    This is absolutely the important thing to look at. $140/mo with a 300gb cap is what they WANT to charge (I use 300gb/mo with 100mb service). The 3 year contract and low prices have a specific goal in mind. My opinion is that they are trying to limit Google's potential customer base by locking...

    Lawmakers Seek To Bar States From Mandating Encryption Weaknesses

    The red flag, in my mind, is where they quote Lieu saying, "It is unworkable for states to mandate different encryption standards." He's not saying that uncrackable encryption is good for people, he's saying that he doesn't want competing standards. You're absolutely correct that this bill is...

    Photobomb Horse Owner Demands Share Of Selfie Prize

    I think it stems from the statement someone else made earlier: "horses are expensive to own." The owner is probably feeling the weight of paying for a horse and is looking for anything they can get their hands on to offset that cost. Someone who was financially comfortable would never have...

    Hateful Eight Producer Blames Google For Piracy

    He brought up "Fair Use" because he knows that's why Google is resistant to simply blocking the content. Child pornography is illegal; there is no situation where it is legal, so it's fair to simply block it all. We can't trust the content owners to identify Fair Use, because to them...

    Dotcom's Last-Ditch Bid to Delay Extradition Hearing Fails

    That's exactly what the MPAA says about ISPs currently. They argue that the ISPs know their customers are doing illegal things, and by not acting to monitor and filter the traffic, they are implicitly supporting piracy. While Dotcom may have known that his service was being used for piracy...

    Amazon And GoDaddy Sued Over The Ashley Madison Data Leak

    I'm not so sure. Amazon won't lose any face by bringing this to the courts and having this discussion out in the open, which is one of the usual motivations for a settlement, Furthermore, winning this case would go far in preventing future lawsuits against Amazon's AWS service, where a...
