    Google Unceremoniously Removes the Tablet Section from Official Android Website

    So what we had here was a whole article based on nothing more than opinion and a temporary glitch. It seems no one at android central or android police bothered to even check with anyone at Google about it and just ran with a story based only on their opinion of Android Tablets. "Journalists"...

    Thieves Steal 600 Powerful Bitcoin-Mining Computers in Huge Heist

    Twitter Says Trump, Other World Leaders Can Tweet What They Want

    As much as I cringe every time he posts something, I agree with Twitter on this. But they should clarify who qualifies as a "world leader".

    FSP Twins that are 500W Each

    Way too much money for what it does. We are much more susceptible to power outages than failing power supplies. Even up-time considerations at home are better addressed by having a cheaper, spare PSU handy or taking advantage of two-day and same-day shipping for no extra cost. Let alone the fact...

    LastPass Bought By LogMeIn For $110 Million

    What they did to the "grandfathered" users of the free logmein accounts was dirty. First they crippled the free accounts severely and then they reneged on grandfathering the free accounts altogether. when I sent the service rep a copy of the email saying my account would be renewed yearly for...

    Firefighters Shoot Hoses At Drone

    True. "Real" aircraft have to fly at least 500ft above the tallest structure within a certain radius... and the supreme court once ruled in favor of a chicken farmer who sued because military aircraft were flying close enough to his property that it literally scared his chickens to death.

    Is Black Friday Showing Signs of Gray?

    I used to love Black Friday: Waking up early on Thursday to get the newspaper so I could finally find out what would be on sale and then have thanksgiving dinner with the family and plan for what we would get; Leave home at around 4:00 am and be one of the first in line; Joke around with he...

    Hundreds of Go Daddy-Hosted Sites Compromised

    My money is on a Phishing email sent to hundreds of thousands of addresses harnessed from WHOIS queries and Godaddy is just the first to catch it and admit those users are jackasses but I don't doubt other hosts have found similar things.... 450 out of millions is not enough to have been a...

    Seagate SmartAlign Simplifies the Transition to Advanced Format Hard Drives

    Distracted Driving Laws Don’t Deter, Study Finds

    That's because those laws were not based on a need to deter distracted driving but on a need for more revenue. Distracted driving was just the excuse.

    Will Amazon Buy Netflix?

    Heck yeah... I just jumped on the netflix bandwagon two weeks ago and I'm impressed by the quality of their streaming content. I'm also a fan of Amazon and buy lots of stuff there. Put those two things together and you can't go wrong.

    Why Doesn’t Murdoch Stop Google From ‘Stealing’ Content

    And you wonder why news papers are going out of business... First they were too blind to see where news was heading to and now they are too blind to see what search engines do for the business they were too blind to see a few years ago. It's like calling the paper boy a thief for shouting the...

    How To Make Strong, Easy-To-Remember Passwords

    What I use for my important passwords (banks, stores, etc...) is a hex conversion of the decimal code of the alphanumeric characters of a word significant to me and then I add two more characters for each site I visit that are significant to that site. The final password ends up being a garbled...

    Facebook Confirms Removal of Holocaust Denial Pages

    While I believe that protected speech is usually the speech that makes our skin crawl, I also believe that as a private entity, Facebook has the right to do whatever they darn well please. Has this been in a public (as in government-funded) forum, I would tend to side with the dumbasses but...

    Online Gambling May Become Legal in US Again

    What I find amusing about Democrats is that if the can tax it, they like it. One aspect of this to ponder is once they have implemented a way for states to tax online gambling, it will be just a skip and hop until they move over to internet sales in general. How do you like being double and...

    Red Bull Racing Explains 09 F1 Rule Changes

    Ahhh... Slicks are back. I still remember how much fun it was to see drivers trying to keep the car on the road during the rain until they got to the pits to change to rain tires. Senna used to do magic in that department. Heck, Senna used to do magic in the rain no matter what... Kind of...
