    World of Warcraft: Legion Cinematic Trailer

    Yes they update the graphics a bit here and there each time. However there is still so much legacy code in the game that can't keep track of it's just out of control. There's a reason they can't make the backpack have more slots for example, because it's hard-coded in so many places they've...

    TrueCrypt no longer supported?

    That's over 95% of it. That and people/companies are typically dumb enough to have the keyfiles locally as well (if they even use them).

    TrueCrypt no longer supported?

    I'd consider them unsafe anyway if you're really that worried. I work for a company that recovers data on a large scale, and it's pretty rare we can't crack a truecrypt volume (and we don't have the NSA's budget lol). No encryption is "unhackable", it'll just slow down someone with the means...

    Monitors with DisplayPort 1.2 for Surface Pro 2

    I can confirm that the daisy-chaining in fact does NOT work with the Surface Pro 2. I just spent over an hour messing with it and it was a no-go. Near as I can tell, the 1st monitor just never sees it even being plugged in. In fact an hdmi-usb dongle will work as a 2nd monitor, but it's a bit...

    Monitors with DisplayPort 1.2 for Surface Pro 2

    I actually bought a couple of these Dell's yesterday for my rMBP. They're gorgeous thus far. Since my mac has 2 t-bolt ports I didn't daisy chain them. However I started thinking about trying to attach both to my surface pro 2 this morning (and ironically just stumbled into this thread). I'll...

    Target Data Breach Now At 70M

    Not keeping my Credit/Debit Card information would be a good start. There's no reason they need to perpetually store that in a database. (Target red card notwithstanding, but that can probably be argued as well)

    Flashlight Phone App Lied About Sharing Data

    It does now (just tried it), I don't believe it used too though.

    Data Broker Giants Hacked by ID Thieves

    Working for one of these companies, security is a f'in joke to put it mildly. I've ranted to management about how inadequate it is, but it wasn't "cost effective" to correct it.:rolleyes: I wonder if it is now? Sadly I think the majority of companies think this way.

    iPhone 5S with new 64-bit A7 processor and M7 co-processor

    And it's very likely not taking advantage of any of the real reasons x64 exists. Stock's taking a hit now too lol.

    Google Fiber Continues Awful ISP Tradition of Banning Servers

    I didn't, but that was exactly what I thought when I saw the headline...

    NSA to Cut System Administrators by 90 Percent

    More likely they were 90% overstaffed. Also a background check will in no way predict someone will decide to do what snowden did.

    How to get rid of Metro in Windows 8.1

    Yea that's Apple that says that lol. if people don't like it, just don't use it simple as that. I don't mind metro on a touch screen. But my desktops are Win7/Linux/OSX (yea I have a few), and in my opinion metro just doesn't belong on there for me (yet). People get way too worked up over...
