• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    New Windows 8 Tablet Ad Features Siri

    Easy. WinPhone 8 is also built on the NT kernel. In fact, Win 8, WinRT and WinPhone 8 all share the NT kernel.

    Microsoft to Add Four Critical Fixes to Patch Tuesday

    "It seems like every time you turn around Microsoft releases another round of fixes." Yes...every month. On patch Tuesday. It's called taking security seriously. And that's a good thing. Know what else is a good thing? The fact that MS keeps on patching old versions of their Windows OS. (That's...

    Google to Restore Maps Access for Windows Phone Users

    No...they did this to people using someone else's product. (Emphasis is on "to people.") Microsoft is not the evil that it once was. Apple and Google are now that..

    Google to Restore Maps Access for Windows Phone Users

    Short sighted attitude ran your ship straight into an iceberg of dumb. This isn't about Win 8 phones, this is about principle. If Google can act this way towards one competitor/OS, they can act this way towards another.

    1.7M Jobs Posted On Facebook Jobs Board

    My question is what percentage of these jobs are real jobs and what percentage are "job opportunity" scams. Guess we'll see.

    Second Java Zero-Day Exploit Uncovered

    Is there any good reason for end users to even have Java on their system any longer? I know there's an odd app and web page here and there which use it but I uninstalled Java a while ago and have neither missed or found I needed it since.

    WikiLeaks Wins Case Against VISA Iceland

    Actually...it isn't. Stealing it may be, but there's actually no law against possessing it. Really. What you ought to be concerned with is knowing what your government is doing in your name, not the fact that someone is helping you to be able to know.

    WikiLeaks Wins Case Against VISA Iceland

    Hope this ruling holds up. We don't need banksters acting as political enforcers against persons and entities that have broken no laws. And Wikileaks (popular myth in the US notwithstanding) apparently broke no laws in this case.

    Kim Dotcom: Artists Rejoice, Megabox is Not Dead

    Why wouldn't artists go for this kind of plan? The DotCom plan: Make music, get paid the lion's share. The traditional record company plan: Make music, and give us the lion's share. Seriously, when it comes to Kim Dotcom and Julian Assange, I wonder where you get your news...and why it is...

    Apple Claims DOJ Sides With The Monopoly

    Apple has a problem. That problem is that the DoJ has Steven Jobs on words on this issue. Apple was engaged in collusion and price fixing, not competition. Tough row to hoe.
