    Wrench VR Prototype Trailer

    Does it come with the complementary stick of dynamite that you want to light up when getting access to that 10mm nuts to replace your sway bar bushings requires you to drop the entire engine assembly?

    Sensor Tracks Who Is Driving in Your Neighborhood

    That's not necessarily true. You can't take a photo of someone who is secluded and has an expectation of privacy - in their car, in a phone booth or ATM, going to a doctor's/attorney's office, etc. Taking photos of women going to have an abortion is illegal. In fact it becomes harassment if the...

    Sensor Tracks Who Is Driving in Your Neighborhood

    Well there are lots of exceptions to the law that regulates who can and cannot access ownership information with regards to looking up a license plate (it's called the Driver's Privacy Protection Act). It's conceivable that Flock can get an exception and use the vast database of license plates...

    Sensor Tracks Who Is Driving in Your Neighborhood

    "It's not our data - it’s the neighborhood’s data - and we delete it after 30 days." One of many lies. They admit to keeping it on their own servers and right now opting out even by residents is not possible (according to their website). There is no obligation to delete it after 30 days. These...

    Yes, and, for what it's worth I opposed the passage of the Patriot Act and other forms of mass surveillance that are used to spy on Americans. The only entities with a legitimate purpose to collecting and/or running my plate would be toll enforcement (for toll roads or perhaps city owned...

    Because absent of a court order, warrant, or legitimate law enforcement purpose nobody should be doing that.

    And it should be illegal.

    People without accountability should not be collecting said data.

    Any company that disallows me from opting out will not get my money.

    Hollywood, Apple Said to Mull Rental Plan, Defying Theaters

    I think that's also a big problem - very few movies are actually worthwhile to see in a theater. I went to the IMAX Miramar in Taipei and it was pretty stunning - for some reason the layout and position of the seats was much better than the ones I went to in the US. I'm on the fence about...

    Age of Empires IV Announced

    If it's only for Windows 10 then count me out. While I loved the old ones I am not installing that malware just to play a game.

    If you're taking your phone to a seedy shop to get it repaired chances are it's just easier for them to install malware.

    Well you wouldn't make compromised screens for all models - just the most common ones.

    Hollywood, Apple Said to Mull Rental Plan, Defying Theaters

    Actually those really nice looking theaters cost approx. $7 per seat (compared to around $3 for the regular theaters). Each theater complex usually offers 2-3 classes of seating (from 200 chairs per theater to about 30) and they are all separated. I also forgot to mention the private lounge for...

    Hollywood, Apple Said to Mull Rental Plan, Defying Theaters

    I don't go on opening weekend or at night - the problem being that light or heavy crowds have nothing to do with the overall rudeness of people other than dealing with a few more. I wish that the experience I have overseas when I travel with regards to theaters would be possible in the US. But...
