    Why Windows Needs A Start Menu

    I have to jump in here because I personally found the Win8 changes very disruptive. Every day I work with multiple versions of Windows and often with vanilla installs. Muscle memory runs deep and I find it damn annoying to get confused when moving between versions. If Win8 was the...

    Economic Crime Unit Raids Funcom

    Allowing insider trading would perpetuate the issue of "the rich keep getting richer". The stock market only works in a somewhat neutral manner if an even playing field is maintained. The design of corporations, with their CEOs and company boards of directors, results in cronyism and an...

    Microsoft Attempting to Scare Windows XP Users Straight

    http://www.usb.org/developers/compliance/ When we submitted our USB-enabled embedded designs for certification last month the organization required us to use WinXP for self-validation. Apparently they special drivers/software only work on XP. Ditto for control system tests like DeviceNET...

    Did some digging, and based on this article - http://electronicdesign.com/blog/time-flight-3d-coming-device-near-you?NL=ED-07&Issue=ED-07_20130716_ED-07_219&YM_RID=daraius@tenxp.com&YM_MID=1409137&sfvc4enews=42 - I can easily see how the Kinect would incur a substantial cost of the new...

I'd probably have disowned my parents if they were using any of the 5000 versions of Android (not counting carrier customizations) out there. I've had only 1 phone call in 7 months to provide them...

    Kinect Costs As Much As The Xbox One?

    Hmm, I can see the Kinect having a BOM cost of about $150-200, and then if you roll in the R&D it would push it substantially higher. It claims to do things that have proven difficult for medical researchers for years - such as detecting pulse, blood flow and perspiration on multiple...

    Stardock Sues Ex-Employee for $1M

    Huh, strange. Stardock games have typically been fun and DRM free. They try new things, and not many game companies are willing to do that these days... Elemental was kind of like one of M. Night Shyamalan's later movies :P Let's hope the company doesn't share the same fate as him!

    Gaming laptop - Alienware M15x?

    Do NOT get this laptop before reading this thread.... http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=439546 My own M15X has this very problem. It may not seem too bad, but keep in mind that people playing Assassin's Creed, City of Villains, Borderlands and Crysis have been experiencing...
