    Russia Announces Plan to Build New ISS with NASA

    NASA is quite surprised to hear they're building a new ISS with the Russians. Perhaps they mean upgrading older modules?

    More Than Half of All IE Users Face Patch Axe in 10 Months

    Which would be great if my Windows 7 Pro Laptop could upgrade from 9 to 11, but it always fails (can't do 10, either) during the update with an obscure reference (and no, it's not pirated). I contacted Microsoft a year ago and got back a boiler plate that didn't work, and a "Make sure you use...

    Uber Hopes New Programs Will Help Riders Feel Safer

    Ooooh.... sorry, I see a major typo, Steve: Personnally, I know I'd feel safer if the stories kept coming at the rate of 1 per incident, but the actual incidents didn't.

    FBI Blasts Apple And Google For Offering Encryption

    "That ship has sailed". If the FBI and the rest of the multi-letter groups had behaved, and followed the social compact (that Constitution thing that some folks keep bringing up) and the rule of law, then we wouldn't be having this discussion. But since they can't do things The Right And Legal...

    Spy Satellites Fighting Crime From Space

    So the satellite can see a rabbit hole under a bush? I bet the thing it's going to be looking for the most is a beaver in the backyard. ;)

    Amazon Unveils The Fire Phone

    I thought with Apple and the exploding batteries there were already Fire Phones?

    Staring At Screens All Day Causes Strange Eye Secretions

    Maybe that's what's going on with my eyes the last four months. Been to the Opthmalogist three times, emergency room twice, regular doctors four times on it. Have to have special drops, and I STILL feel like I'm losing my vision due to this stuff (when it dries further, it hardens to a crust...

    Microsoft Strips Some Windows 7 Users of IE11 Patch Privileges

    I wish I had that problem. I'm stuck using IE 9 on my (home) laptop because, for some reason, IE 10 and IE 11 both fail during the installation process. I can get the OS updates, but IE itself won't install, and doesn't tell me exactly what I need to do to get it to install. I do have IE 11...

    Facebook Now Shares Your Browsing History With Advertisers

    Okay, I'm still trying to see how either Zuckerberg or Facebook can be converted into 666. But this is pretty much right up there on the creepiness meter.

    EPA Official Caught With 7,000 Porn Files On Work PC

    That would be a negative. As a "public sector jerk off", I save the US Navy $200M over the next twenty years with my work the last four years (and we're in the process of patenting it). Last summer, on a lark, I figured out a way to save another $20M over the next 20. This week, I've worked...

    Windows 8 UX Pack and Windows 8 Transformation Pack 8.1 Ships

    You just can't handle the glory that was Windows For Workgroups 3.1.1 running on MS-DOS 3.3 with QEMM. Glory Days, indeed. Bruce Springsteen would have been proud.

    Project CARS vs. Real Life

    Beat me to it, the trees and buildings on the side with the overly shiny white roofs give it away. Doesn't help that, while the asphalt looks "more real" in a non-motion shot for the game image, in moving images, the first thing that hit me was "where's the sun bleaching?" as the left has...

    Apple Wants To Block Users From Texting And Driving

    You lose that bet. I've never texted and driven, primarily because I've only ever sent 6 text messages. When I realized what they cost, and how little value texting was to me when I could just use the stupid phone as a (wait for it) PHONE and actually talk to someone, and then texts cost $.10...

    Apple Wants To Block Users From Texting And Driving

    It's even been mentioned IN THESE FORUMS over the last few years (I know I've mentioned lock outs of anything other than voice commands, GPS, mapping, and pure audio from cell phones moving over 10 mph here over three years ago). Also fails the obviousness test.

    The Face Behind Bitcoin

    Yeah, it said I'd reached my quota limit of 5 free articles per month. I don't believe I've EVER been to Newsweek before, much less 5 times this month.
