    Real World Weather Will Effect Future Pokemon Go Gameplay

    I quit playing a long time ago, mostly because they kept lowering the max speed until it was too slow for me to get any credit on my bike. Hell, you can't even jog at a decent pace and get credit anymore. I understand they are trying to keep people from driving and playing, but its gotten...

    Bitcoin Price Soars above $5,000 to Record High

    Really wish I had just left my BFL miner going for another year. It may have been mining at a loss for a while, but even if I managed another coin or 2 it would have been worth it.

    Bitcoin Price Soars above $5,000 to Record High

    Oh I'm sure. To be fair, the last bitcoins I had did pay for all the Christmas presents for the kids that year (2013)

    Bitcoin Price Soars above $5,000 to Record High

    I first got into bitcoins shortly after the first peak around $32 watched it drop down to around $2 when I shut off my miners the first time. Sold off my 250 bitcoins for about $1000 when it got back up to around $4. Continued to mine for quite a while, wound up getting out when the ASIC's...

    Bitcoin Price Soars above $5,000 to Record High

    If I had treated my bitcoins as an investment and left it alone I would be sitting on over $1 million right now. I had too much paranoia with market fluctuations that I was always watching the price, buying/selling. Never had the stomach for it. That and I bought a lot of things with them...

    Minnesota Woman Fatally Shoots Boyfriend in Failed YouTube Video Stunt

    I wouldn't trust someone to fire either at me, even if there were a 1/4" steel plate behind the book "just in case". Person could miss, could break a rib or in the case of the .50 BMG, it would likely go through the steel plate too.

    Foxconn Eyes Wisconsin for New Plant

    Wouldn't mind if they put that factory near me. I love robotic manufacturing, programming and operating robots is great fun to me.

    Lucky Draw - SilverStone ST80F-TI 800W Power Supply

    My wife has a LG v20 and I will likely get one soon too. Either that or another phone with a type C connector. I am also building a new desktop PC for my son soon which will have it too.

    CoolerMaster Makes Building PCs Harder

    I was hoping it was full sized too, for $40 I would definitely buy one to put an actual PC in it. Would be a great base for a mod project.

    Stupid Tech Invention of the Day

    Honestly I think you are more of the problem than you realize. If you NEED a phone to remember things, the phone is officially replacing your memory. People don't think they need to remember facts or math anymore because of technology and only getting worse as time goes on.

    Apple Selling $300 Book Containing Photos Of It Products

    A genius idea to show how little Apple products change over time. The pictures will be current for many years to come.

    Comcast 1TB Internet Cap Is Becoming A Reality

    Just a thought, I just did the math and by their justification I can only use my Internet at 100% utilization for 2.4 hours a day max. That is with my sorry ass 30meg connection. So others with faster connections can use much less. I figured max throughput at the theoretical maximum to be...
