    IE and Chrome Still Fighting It Out for Market Share

    As has been mentioned, share numbers are pointless. IE/Safari/Chrome are default installs or bundled with everything. They work well enough for browsing and use them for various things (hello IE-only corporate sites). Only Firefox/Opera counts show anything since to get those requires...

    Do Not Track in the Windows 8 Setup Experience

    The internet worked just fine before the crazy commercialization of every aspect of it. It worked fine before Web 2.0, and it worked fine when ads were just text (or if you were special, an animated gif). People got no data back other than a hit count. People and websites need to move to...

    Wikipedia Blackout Caused By Cut Cables

    I've had 2-3 instances of fiber cuts taking giant chunks of enterprise data offline in the last couple of years. All from construction.

    YouTube Pushing Users To Use Real Names?

    Indeed. Ever since people have had to use their names in real life, I noticed that there is no more violent crime, theft, hit-and-runs, road rage, insider trading, scam artists or even lying. Everyone lives in perfect harmony because jerks magically turn into saints when they have a name...

    This Is Why Girls Suck At Gaming

    The author seems clueless. My sister owned me at chess the other day and I know she can take me in Starcraft or any other game. The key is that she isn't a ditzy fool. She was raised to pull her own weight and to do well at math, science, music, everything really. Too many females are...

    A (P)Review of Microsoft Office 2013

    2007 sucks, it always crashes, especially Outlook 2007 when using exchange servers. The last stable version was 2003, but it is missing too many features for the enterprise. It works well enough for home use. I've been using LibreOffice and it rocks for personal use. It launches pretty...

    A (P)Review of Microsoft Office 2013

    That person didn't say x86-64. SPARC's 64 bit specs were out by 1993. Openoffice 1.0.x supported 64-bit SPARC on Solaris 8 in July 2002 - 10 years ago. Despite what most people think, the world does not revolve around Windows and x86. Other operating systems and architectures just...

    MIT Developing Glasses-Free 3-D TV

    Go use a 3ds in a walmart or some place. You have to look at it almost dead-on 90 degrees to see the 3d. Slight angle deviation turns it into a blur.

    Android Based Video Game Console Kickstarter

    I don't even care about the gaming potential. It looks like it would be a sweet media playback/emulation dedicated box. By the way, do not underestimate the "poor people" market. There is a very large population of people that cannot afford things like an Xbox + wireless adapter + live...

    Upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $39.99

    It is an alright desktop OS with classic shell installed. Classic shell is actually very nice, thought about putting it on my windows 7 machine, it is loaded with features and can really streamline the start menu. The best part of classic shell is of course the start menu search feature. It...

    Militant Group Responsible for Microsoft Office Bombing

    Games for Windows is the worst thing Microsoft has done in a while. It is atrocious. Games for Windows Live is even worse. Nothing like an insane amount of DRM so that every GFW game I get crashes like mad. Then pirates hack around it and get a copy that works. Great world we live in...

    Why Microsoft Killed the Windows Start Button

    Winkey + search is only useful if you already know the name of what you need. If you use a lot of productivity tools and corporate programs, then you have to drill down to find those oddly named things that no one remembers. If you already know what you need, it should just be pinned anyways...

    Microsoft Surface Prices Revealed?

    I don't see the point. A tablet screen is too small for x86 desktop applications to be viable, especially with bad DPI scaling in windows and with an inprecise pen tool (using menus and stuff with a very high-res graphics tablet is still difficult, let alone a cheap touch screen). Touch...

    A New HTTP Status Code Has Been Proposed

    That is censorship. If information is suppressed, then it is censored. Censorship by law just makes it government-imposed censorship, it doesn't make it special or exempt. Society has created guidelines on subjective things like "good" and "evil" to determine what the population does not...
