    Tumblr Bans All Porn from Its Service

    No, they asked for it by designing it the way they did. Let's say someone posts illegal porn on their tumblr and it gets reported. Common sense would be that the post and any reposts are removed right? No, just that instance was removed. If you deactivate an account, shouldn't the reposts...

    Electric Cars Likely Won't Save You Money

    The article is making the same mistake that they were making when hybrids were new and that's assuming that the battery will play out soon after the warranty. That really hasn't happened, in fact I do recall seeing a few weeks ago that many of the 10+ year old hybrids batteries still had the...

    New Windows 10 Consumer SKU Roadmap Revealed

    You did a normal install. In 10 there's a Compact OS option which was similar to WIMboot in 8.1, with the exception that is isn't running from a compress wim but way that it can remove previous files to keep the size of the OS under control over time. And besides that systems that require it...

    Windows 10 S Is Dead, Long Live S Mode

    It didn't go anywhere, they just made is so that any version can be S. It always made no sense that if S was targeted largely at consumers, but if they needed more they got the high end version and had to pay for it. Also considering per the article 60% of people stuck with S, it kind of isn't...

    Mazda Says Its Next-Generation Gasoline Engine Will Run Cleaner than an Electric Car

    Alan Mulally. And technically "The Way Forward" started before he was named CEO in 2006. This is also why they didn't have to ask the Government for money, they already had bet the company about a year before the crisis started. I'll give him credit for making the right decisions to pull it...

    Visa Won't Require Signatures, a Move Wal-Mart Long Sought

    Most banks never take it that far. It's just easier to write it off. The reason Visa resisted chip and pin was because they were afraid of their users forgetting the pin, which happened when a bank in Canada sent out the initial letters too early so most of their members didn't remember them...

    Denuvo Accused of Pirating Anti-Cracking Software to Protect its Floundering Solution

    Basically VMProtect's license is for your own products, not to protect 3rd party clients. They have a separate license for that purpose and Denuvo declined to pay that fee

    Walmart Associate Delivery Pays Employees to Deliver Packages After Shift Work Ends

    Full time is 34 hours, so that probably won't be a problem. When I worked there in the 90s they would tell you to go home immediately the moment you came to 39 hours so I'm sure they have that figured out. The biggest problem they had back then was clocking people out without their knowledge...

    Radio Shack Closing Its Doors after 96 Years This Memorial Day Weekend

    They just gave up on the DIY crowd. Even when in the late 90s they started Tech America to try to keep those people when they first started to phase parts out they only kept the chain open for around a year. From the 2000s on they went after every fad usually too late to be a major player...

    Windows Creators Update broke lots of programs :(

    Check your video card drivers. Works fine here. If you have done that check out the renderer settings. Go down to vmr9 and go from there.

    So I tried Windows 10 as a user...

    The whole idea of UAC was to annoy users enough that developers had no choice but to write more secure code. Pretty much everyone before Vista expected every user to be an admin or it's fine if the entire application has system access. Sadly most people didn't get it at the time and currently...

    Netflix Blocked on Rooted and Unlocked Android Devices

    I think it's sad that everyone is blaming Netflix and not Widevine which is made by Google.

    Linux, iTunes Coming to Microsoft's App Store

    Yet the fact that they have actively catered to Linux users by producing the subsystem and open sourced PowerShell, corefx, chakra and more says otherwise. Android is the most popular OS. Chrome is the most popular browser, more programs are becoming OS agnostic. They don't have the pull...

    Dell Has No Future Because It Lacks a Public Cloud

    It sounds like he didn't listen to everything Michael Dell said. "We're not saying public cloud is not going to happen or it's not going to grow—it is. It's just not perfect for all workloads. And everything is not going to go to the public cloud." He also missed the Flex on Demand...

    Windows Users Should Want Windows 10 S to Succeed

    In what way? Are you thinking of the iTunes way in that you can only install from the App store, or the Mac app store where apps from the store are sandboxed, optimized for high DPI screens and auto update? Because they are going the Mac app store way. And before you say it, Apple isn't...
