IMHO Single Player and Co-Op are a blast. Really wish it was 4 player co-op, but the wrecking zone thing isn't fun. Well worth signing up for Game Pass for $2 for 2 months and playing C3 and then moving on. Game Pass https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass If you sign up for $2 for 2...

No one said that the company shouldn't be investigated. However Elasticsearch is not the company that should be investigated -- Data & Leads Inc should be investigated. They are the company that stood up this service, didn't enable or add any security and then just left it accessible via the...

Elasticsearch is also completely open source including their X-Pack (however X-Pack does require a license) https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch

A lot of you guys are really missing the point. This is not a BUG or FLAW in elasticsearch. This is a flaw in how the company decided to use Elasticsearch which as mentioned by others can happen to any software.

This is like any other piece of software -- they downloaded and were using elasticsearch, but did not enable security on the product and left it wide open on the default port accessible via the internet. Elasticsearch isn't the issue, it is the developer/company. Elasticsearch provides...

They have iOS ports working -- Candy Crush on Windows 10 and Windows Phone is basically iOS code. I think that is more important than Android apps (as those are mostly poorer versions of iPhone apps). Another rumor is that the Android ports actually worked too well and undercut the need to use...

I do know ease of reading is the #1 reason my mother picked Windows Phone. She just wanted a smartphone for email, browsing, texting and a other things. Windows Phone with its higher contracts fonts to background and the back, start and search buttons made it easier for her to use. To each...

This is basically the tool they use for Windows and all other telemetry data they collect: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-insights-get-started/

War is a great motivator. Look at all the technology and discoveries made at times of war. Since we have no idea about aliens, everyone's ideas on the topic are acceptable for the most part.

Gamers appear to be enjoying Windows 10. http://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-being-used-close-25-all-steam-pc-gamers

The addressed that....

Both the PS4 and X1 are weak. They were weak when they launched. The X1 weaker than the PS4. However saying 1080p@60FPS or bust is silly. It just means they will limit other aspects of the game to meet 1080p@60FPS. Both consoles can easily do 1080p@60FPS if you limit what they have to do...

That is just silly. Solid 1080p @ 60FPS doing what? They can both do that now depending on what they are displaying. What is your benchmark for making such a silly statement? Should a game that has 100+ AI characters in a city that has moving cars, explosions, etc... be 1080p @ 60FPS...

The Apple bias is obviously real and of course only the Verge would write an article that acknowledges and then basically states it is deserved. Yes Apple has made some great device. Apple makes generally quality stuff. However, that doesn't give the press (and the tech press who is...
