    HTML5-Based Data Transfer Is For Terrorists And Pirates

    "You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide." Joseph Goebbels (Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda) coined that term in the run up to WW2. It was also said by a character in Orwell's 1984 (which was published in 1949 btw). It seems modern media now act as 'Public...

    AMD Radeon R9 Fury X 4K Video Card Review @ [H]

    Surprised no one has mentioned the R9 295X2. It's faster than the cards in this review can be bought for a similar price as the 980ti.

    Microsoft Plans a Virtual Reality Headset for Xbox One

    So at a bare minimum it would need to hit 75hz/fps at 1920x1080 to be passable. Lower refresh rates/fps ruin the experience, and the Rift DK1's resolution of 1280x800 produces a notable screen door effect. I can't see how either of the consoles can pull this off well. The cloud? Heh

    NSA Claims To Only Touch 1.6% Of Internet Traffic

    A couple of weeks ago they had important people telling us they don't collect this crap - under oath. The powers that be are all liars and take the general public for fools (I guess they are). I hope the public wake up, because TPTB keep taking more and more from us.

    'Pardon Edward Snowden' Petition Reaches 100K Threshold

    Online petitions mean bugger all, and even if they did mean something the US government is beyond caring. The frequency of lies and all the mysterious deaths/"suicides" is frankly ridiculous. But obviously I must be a nutjob for thinking this....

    Mt. Gox Temporarily Suspends US Dollar Withdrawals

    I wonder who will benefit from this.

    Microsoft Is Removing Xbox One DRM

    So will everyone be careful when trusting MS or will they hug MS for listening to their feedback? Fickle bunch, consumers

    Xbox One FAQ

    Expect an additional fee to resell 2nd hand games. This generation is all about training consumers into having their games locked to their accounts.

    Dell Profit Dives 79 percent on Falling PC Sales

    They should have diversified years ago.

    Steam Weekend Deal: Borderlands 2 for $13

    The way Gearbox handled the whole Alien:CM thing means I'm done with them. They bullshit their way through development of the game (whether they made it or not isn't relevant) and continue to bullshit and claim innocence to this very day. Pack of liars.

    Nintendo Enforces Copyright on Youtube Videos

    I'm not too bothered if it's done to Let's Play videos, but if it covers reviews/guides etc then it's a bit crap. Imo if you want to make a career out of Youtubing you need to do something a little more than live commentary on a game. Any moron can do it, and may harm singleplayer game sales...

    Why Metacritic Should Be Irrelevant

    The way Metacritic averages scores is incorrect. A game review site that uses a rating of 1 to 5 to score games will rate games at 5 (i.e. 100% to Metacritic) more than reviewers who use a 1-10 system or percentage. Mathematically a 5/5 is the same as 10/10 or 100/100 but when you're talking...

    Acer Reports Abysmal April Sales

    It's not just Windows 8 and tablets that may be eating into PC sales. The general slowdown in technology has to play a part. My 3 year old i7 based system is still going strong so I don't feel the need to update and I'm a power user. Why would the average user want to update their few years...

    Aliens: Colonial Marines Developer Shuts Down

    Meanwhile, Gearbox (the company who got the rights from Sega to make the game outsourced it to make their own games instead) is laughing all the way to the bank. Even though I didn't buy A:CM I won't be purchasing any Gearbox titles in the future. Bunch of liars, especially their CEO. Would...
