    The Waymo One Commercial Self-Driving Vehicle Service Has Officially Launched

    Self-driving will NEVER be perfected as long as the faults of nature exists. People are unpredictable, and road conditions are not always perfect, nor set in stone. Potholes filled with water form, people drive like idiots, pedestrians don't obey traffic laws, tires don't always grip, things...

    Samsung Used a DSLR Shot to Fake a "Portrait Mode"

    I will never stop saying this. All of this crap is a result of marketers. A fancy name for sales. When have you ever trusted a salesperson? If you have, then something is wrong with you. I absolutely despise working with marketing departments, because I have never met one that did not say...

    24 Amazon Workers Injured By Robot Accident

    Western Digital Embraces Open Standards with RISC-V Processor Development

    Open source is good overall, but it has its down sides, and that is with firmware. Any jack hacker can now screw with your drive firmware. Good luck with that.

    Tom Cruise Thinks You Should Turn Off Motion Interpolation

    These are HD TVs with very high contrast, color, and resolution. These devices should NOT have any "enhancements" whatsoever. They are all a gimmick thought of by a marketer without a technical clue. As a marketing ploy, it works. They get to advertise a whizbang feature which is totally...

    Facebook is Allegedly Divided by Internal Conflict

    This is always what happens when you to try to engineer people. It always comes to bite you in the butt in the end. You can't engineer people, at least for a great length of time, as people soon realize something is going against their nature, their natural state. Many won't know why, but...

    China Alleges 'Massive' Evidence of DRAM Price Fixing

    I find it the height of irony that a country that pretty much does nothing but tariffs and price fixing, accuses a private entity of price fixing. It's like the pot calling the kettle black. The only difference would be China is saying it's unsanctioned price fixing actually. "Irony can be...

    Microsoft Pulls Faulty Office Updates and Warns Users of Another

    US has the Most Expensive Mobile Data Plans in the World

    Well, part of me says, there's a vast square mileage issue here as well as number of cells to deal with, in addition to the number of phones on the network at once. A small European country with a relatively small population is no comparison to the thousands of square miles and total population...

    Odyssey+ VR Headset Solves the Screen Door Effect

    What API does this thing support? I noticed Steam games only work with HTC Vive or Oculus Rift (via OpenVR). Does the Samsung Odyssey+ work with OpenVR? I have an Oculus Rift and would be interested in moving to the Samsung, IF my existing library still works with it.

    U.S Calls Broadcom's Bid For Qualcomm a National Security Risk

    Having worked for both of these companies in the past, I'd say merging them would be a very very bad idea. Broadcom is very much the stiff Asian, corporate, in your suit, work in a box, do as you're told, suck the life out of you, respect the hierarchy, drone center you'd expect from an old...

    Chinese Build 15 Story Hotel in 2 Days

    No kidding, want to know what the USA was like before government bureaucrats and sapping unions? Simple, look at the empire state building; a 102 story granite and steel behemoth erected in (1930) 1 year and 45 days. You know, back in the days when America made its own steel, heck made most of...

    Chiller's Hybrid Level 10

    Oh, I get it. Only positive comments are allowed when such a project is posted on a public forum. If criticism (positive or negative) is not desired, then why post? What, does everyone now get "participation trophies?" Listen, the guy is using a very expensive already magnificent work of art...

    Chiller's Hybrid Level 10

    Well, let's just say he has an eye for design. Watch TLC and their decorator shows; I challenge anyone to find the straight decorator. However, why not cut windows out of the existing shells, but leaving the sleek shape and frame? Thin red Mylar could have been used for the windows as it...

    Chiller's Hybrid Level 10

    It was a hard thing to say, I grant people that. However, you can't mix those two design concepts without a clash. I sought further opinions. I know an award winning artist and my brother is gay. Both said what was happening was making it worse and that the shiny plexiglass with metal screws...

    Chiller's Hybrid Level 10

    To quote both Clint Eastwood and Charlie Sheen in the movie "The Rookie": "Anyone that would destroy a work of art like that, ought to have their ass removed." Cheesy plexiglass with metal screws on a sleek and smooth design does not a match make. I realize the cable routing and such is...

    Caught Spying on Student, FBI Demands GPS Tracker Back

    Should have sledge hammered it and then thrown it in the drink. When they come driving and threatening say "what the hell are you talking about?" I might have kept it on the car, planned a "creative" route that spelled "f-you" on the map and then smashed it. Hmm... Maybe dropped it off at the...

    You Don’t Own That Software You Bought

    A flawed argument. You do drink the Koolaid. You buy the book, which contains a copy of the work. You have no right to copy it and sell the copy, BUT you do own that specific copy of the work. You have a right to sell it, destroy it, turn it into confetti, put it on a bookshelf, give it to a...

    You Don’t Own That Software You Bought

    Then, of course, is the issue of the retailers. If it's a license, then are the retailers "agents"? If so, then that dumps a crapload of laws on them regarding agents and their responsibilities. If they are an agent, then who do they represent? It is the licensor or the licensee? How do you...

    This my friends, is a Photoshop-ed picture AND she's wearing the coat buttoned instead of open because she was not toned (she was ... um .... "jiggly"). Let's just say the bottom was not flattering. She has toned up since her pregnancy, but when she did this shoot she wasn't exactly model...

    Kari is an Art Major who got on Mythbusters by hanging around the set and then got her "break" by volunteering her butt for the "fat lady stuck on an airplane" toilet myth. They scanned her entire back side and "fattened it up" to a larger scale to see if this myth was plausible. Kari's...
