    How To Stop Using Google

    Well, I'll use their search, their maps, and youtube....never have much desire for anything else I never see their ads (it's all filtered out, funny how it all works that way) I think it's ridiculous to base it all on "tax avoidance". That's the last thing I would even consider. When I...

    Does Google Now Have A Women Problem?

    This has NOTHING to do with women. This is the internet. This is Google. This is 1's and 0's. This is (by nature) gender neutral. All I see is a person so overwhelmingly consumed by "apps" that there is a major failure to see a much larger picture. This is happening to both men and women and...

    10 Years Ago Today: Booting From A USB Drive

    That's funny, I distinctly remember installing Win98se on quite a few computers where the "install disk" was a CD (not a floppy). I also remember installs where the "install disk" was a file on D drive...installing to a blank C drive....where it was a single physical drive cut into two separate...

    The Achilles Heel of Open Source: Elitism

    elitism is just one possible view (narrow that it might be) What were talking about is the difference between someones passions vs. the dollar signs in the eyes of someone else. People will "buy" software. I personally don't understand why "free" has become such a bad thing. You will always...

    10 Years Ago Today: Booting From A USB Drive

    Not sure what world your living in. I stopped using floppies when I stopped using Win98se (didn't even use them much at that time either). The only reason to need any CD's, DVD's, or USB floppy drives for drivers was for the initial acquisition of them. After that, they got put up and kept for...

    Pirates Get A Taste Of Their Own Medicine

    This isn't about piracy at all. It's not even about game development. This is a Hollywood/tabloid stunt for the "look" of things. It's to get people talking about something that doesn't even matter just for the purpose of talking. This entire situation represents the very thing that I take...

    Pirates Get A Taste Of Their Own Medicine

    A free version was made available. As with many free versions of things....it comes with advertising. This kinda thing happens all the time. What makes this so different that it becomes news?

    Home Wi-Fi Routers Are Easily Hackable

    That's precisely the kind of mockish thinking that gave us what we have. Your missing the point. These updates ARE NOT meant for what you think they are. Take a look around you. What "fixes" are being done? Most of the very same things that caused so many issues with IE *STILL* exist. ALL...

    Home Wi-Fi Routers Are Easily Hackable

    Your preaching to the choir here :) My comment on this was rhetorical. This is something I'm always talking about. Many of the same ole issues that have always plagued IE now have most other browsers turned into swiss cheese....specifically because of HTML5. People are told that they...

    Using GPS To Commit Burglaries?

    While emphasis is placed on "using GPS"....that's not so much the issue. If this were the issue, fewer people would actually want it. This whole thing falls under the heading: "DUH!". In other news: the Earth is a sphere that orbits the Sun

    Tracking Cookies Gone in Five Years?

    This guy talks like 'it's all about his company'. Makes me wonder if he has any real understanding of what a "cookie" is. It isn't going to be the elimination of cookies. It will be the elimination of the ability to get rid of them. The premise of the article though does make perfect sense...
