    Should You Hope Your Child Never Has To Drive A Car?

    Are some thinking these things run off of GPS and broadband? Again, look up the tech. They are going in the opposite direction. If there will be communication to the cars, it will likely be physical and one way, or observational data. Hackers have rightfully scared designers and engineers...

    Should You Hope Your Child Never Has To Drive A Car?

    This sounds eerily like the gun debate. I could definitely see Europe and Asia readily adopting them(some who think this is far off really need to do some research) while Americans moan about it being part of their freedom. When we visit those places we(Americans) will marvel at how safe it is...

    Study: 20% Of Video Streamers Use Someone Else's Password

    Is this faux outrage? Netflix and HBO have come out and said they expect this. HBO even said they welcomed it. The thing is, I am subscribed to HBO, Showtime, Netflix and Amazon Prime. Are you going to limit me from using them when I travel or make them device specific or something?

    “HBO Now” Coming This Spring For $15 Per Month

    I swear this board produces some of the most silly alarmist threads I've ever seen for a technology site. I guess its really a computing site and not a technology site. - Outside of its website, HBOGo has probably been the most reliable streaming site out there for the different streaming...

    The Dominant Life Form in the Cosmos Is Probably Superintelligent Robots

    The only answer. If you're only talking about what is currently possible you're way short of the possibilities.

    Has the HTPC time passed

    I'm currently running a super stable cablecard media center setup with ripped movies and shows. I prefer DVR'd content and the huge storage that it provides. In that sense, I won't give that part up as long as I can. I'm planning a new system for the whole house right now. I think for the...

    HBO To Start Selling On The Web Next Year

    As someone with HBO and HBO Go, HBO Go has a ton of original content. Not just the drama/comedy type shows, but news shows, comedy specials, sports shows. They also have a healthy collection of original adult content. And they keep their entire catalog of shows available. The movies they...

    AMD or Intel For HTPC

    I would go with a NUC(Intel) or one of the like if you want something small and have some WAF. If you don't care about WAF or want some 1080p gaming, I would go with a higher end FM2 AMD.

    Microsoft Makes $2B A Year From Android Patents

    This thread just shows that some of you hate Microsoft more than you like Android. The patents are valid. If you don't like that, make your own proprietary software and hardware interfaces. That simple.

    Microsoft's New Surface Tablets Are Close To Selling Out

    As a graduate student I do a lot of interviews. The camera is great for recording them. The digitizer is great for taking notes digitally, which are so much easier to organize and search. I can do SPSS type crosstabs on this same device without having to get to a desktop or carrying a heavy...

    For my 1st smartphone I am considering a Windows phone.

    sorry, but this board can't even figure out that Windows 8 can be used without the metro tiles 99% of the time. And LOL @ Here maps not being integrated with the OS. I know I didn't read that on this thread(I did). Here maps has improved light years with every update and is not only...
