    Charter Pays Record $174 Million Consumer Fraud Settlement in New York

    I'm sorry but that's chump change. I'd rather get 5 years of free gigbit and no data caps.

    Confirmed: Apple to Add Wireless Charging to the iPhone 8

    I'd love to see them use the phone and charge it wireless at the same time. Someone needs to build area wireless charging on the cheap.

    Living with Windows 10 S

    It's MS's way of creating a walled garden like Apple does with their IOS. At least with IOS, you can use other web browsers

    Nexus 6P Bootloop Fix Found

    Had the Lumia 950XL until very recently, which also used the Qualcomm SnapDragon 810. Ran like shit. I'm surprised I kept it so long. Moved to a very cheap Android phone which runs circles around the 950XL due to it crashing and hanging all the time. Not sure how much of it was the 810 related.

    Verizon Customers Booted off Unlimited Plans for Using Too Much Data

    I smell lawsuit. I hope they lose big time. That will wake the carriers up and offer actual unlimited plans or lower their prices dramatically.

    Parental Control App Leads to Sting Operation

    The parents of the teen better be having a serious talk about that stuff. I chalk this up to bad parenting. Good that they are monitoring parental controls, but they need to do a better job at monitoring all communications. Didn't the parent teach them to say no to strangers? According to the...

    Foxconn Planning $10B US Investment, Eyeing Six States for Display Plant

    Is this how it begins where the US becomes a 3rd world country? I mean China is outsourcing to the US. Then we ship the stuff back over there for them to do whatever. China is already excelling in other markets as well as consuming more. Space industry and space tourism, mining the moon and...

    Tesla Driver in Fatal “Autopilot” Crash Got Numerous Warnings

    If you believed that the Tesla has full auto pilot and can perform all those functions without error, you're delusional. They have disclaimers that pretty much states the driver needs to be fully attentive and in control at all times. That's why they have you agree to their EULA and TOS and all...

    Logitech Announces POWERPLAY Wireless Charging System to Recharge Wireless Mice

    I don't get wireless mouse for gaming. For normal everyday computing usage, sure. But not gaming. If you're going to run a cord mere inches from the wireless mouse, why not just get a wired mouse. Wireless isn't going to be faster than wired, period. It's just physics. Cord drag you say? You...

    Why Windows Vista Sucked

    Vista was a pile of poo. Ran slow even on decent and good hardware. Anyone remember gadgets? Peeps can add an almost unlimited number of them and you couldn't scroll down nor close them properly. This caused system to essentially lock up. Anytime you did any thing to a file, it would take ages...

    Studios Blame Rotten Tomatoes for Ruining Summer Movies

    RT is kind of like Yelp for restaurants. Some critic review and general public perception are skewed. All it takes is one bad remark to snowball it into oblivion. I don't read reviews and I avoid trailers and spoilers when I can. To me, all of those makes the movie going experience that much...

    Intel Core i9-7900 Series CPU Core Count and Prices

    Too rich for my blood. Do any mainstream OS really even use all these cores efficiently for normal computing? Not enterprise stuff. Just your regular Joe/Jane 9-5 closet gamer.

    Microsoft Reportedly Working on New Windows Mobile Reboot

    Yay, another restart and retrenching. Getting the popcorn. At this point, even if they made the phones out of platinum and paid devs a grip load of cash, it's too late. Peeps are now tied to their respective ecosystems with purchases from the app stores. On the other side, they are making a...
