    Thousands of Apps Secretly Run Ads That Users Can't See

    Regardless, if the advertiser is paying for an ad that never gets clicked (because no human ever sees it), on has to think eventually they'd stop paying for it. I don't care if I get a hundred views or a billion views if NOBODY EVER CLICKS IT. Still, it pisses me off if my apps are running...

    Sigh, any insight on family plans?

    Current bill is about 220 per month before taxes, 245 with taxes with 5 lines. Ouch! The industry is changing rapidly and there are probably several better deals out there. Do you really need 10GB of cellular data. Are any of your phone using wifi for internet (when available)? Is the $220...

    The Turing Phone Is An Android Smartphone Made With Liquid Metal

    I'm envisioning the bad guy terminator from Terminator (number 2?). Awesome movie series, even if Arnold kind of sold out as the gubernator. I don't get the liquid metal. What happens when you pick up the phone? I clicked through and browsed the article and still don't really get it. I guess I'm...

    win 10 really is free NO catches

    I agree, there's no free lunch. My dad just emailed that he got a taskbar popup offering that he could upgrade his windows 7 computer to windows 10, and asked if he should. I said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I still wonder what microsoft's ulterior motive is...

    Google Gains Billions In Value As YouTube Drives Ad Growth

    me too. I thought they were to pricy when they first went public. Oh well... How is youtube generating so much cash for them? We watch youtube fairly often, but never click on anything. Is it ads?

    Cord-Cutters Are Not All Young Hipsters

    Cut the cable tv cord last year, even though our ota is limited here. It was a good decision. Still have to pay the cable company for internet though. Not willing to cut that!

    Drone That Pours Shots Directly In Your Mouth

    hmmm... great video, but I think they need to send this one back to the drawing board.

    Microsoft Commits To 10-Year Support Lifecycle For Windows 10

    I stuck with XP as long as I could. Finally switched to Windows 7 only two years ago I think. At this rate, I'll consider a new operating system when Windows 13 comes out (actually, I think they've already introduced several "version 13s", which I why I'm in no hurry to "upgrade".) If it...

    0-60 in 2.8 Seconds In Tesla's "Ludicrous Mode'

    Musk is my hero! I guess if you can afford a Tesla, you can afford an extra $10K to get the Ludicrous Mode. Those horsepower numbers are stunning! I can't believe an electric car can do that. Wow. I think the Tesla just got added to my "things to buy when I'm ridiculously rich list." But at the...

    White House Unveils ConnectHome For Low-Income Households

    Ahh, the problem with joining a forum. I come here to get some advice and then see a thread like this, and have to chime in, even though it has nothing to do with why I'm here, other than I'm easily distracted. Anyway, why is it that some people assume that everyone NEEDS access to the internet...
