    Sony Wants to Use Blockchain for DRM

    Great idea! Except for basically every piece of how they'll implement it. A private blockchain where Sony has a "god" key will be no better for users than any other black box bullshit they might use now. It won't let you just move your game from one PC to another, it won't let you keep playing...

    Acer Expects 4K to go Mainstream

    My first 4k monitor was around $00. It was a Seiki 39 inch that did 4k @ 30hz. Not a gaming monitor, but an amazing display for a developer. My second 4k monitor was another identical Seiki, for $300, running dual head. Again, bad for gaming, great for productivity. My third 4k display was a...

    NVIDIA’s Pierre Terdiman Responds to “Weird, Confused” Comments concerning PhysX

    8 years ago called and they want their website back. And I'm not even joking, it's Wordpress 2.6 which is literally from 2008. Turning off stylesheets actually improves its readability 10x.

    The Defense Department has Produced the First Tools for Catching Deepfakes

    They don't have to be really obvious, it's just that the tools are in the hands of amateurs who are using them the way amateurs would use them. Take a random porn star and a random celebrity and make the worst fake celebrity porn ever. But this blink stuff, that's bullshit. What they're talking...

    Cellebrite Finds Ways to Unlock Any iPhone or Android

    I remember the days back before smartphones. You actually had to go outside and meet your friends to have conversations. And of course when you were done you had to transcribe it and mail the contents of your conversation off to the FBI and NSA.

    Samsung May Bring Its Payment Service to Rivals' Smartphones

    I've never been to a kiosk that supported samsung pay but didn't support google pay. I use google pay because I don't own a samsung phone. If I did own a samsung phone, I'd still use google pay because the chances of my next phone being a samsung are much less than the chances it would be an...

    NASA Doesn't Have the Money to Land Humans on Mars

    NASA should focus more on working with private companies and facilitating communications and resource sharing rather than trying to perform these missions themselves. The private space has proven they can deliver better, faster, and cheaper than NASA. Get the government out of the way and act...

    100,000 Sparklers Lit At One Time

    This could have been a lot better if they'd put a little more thought into it. They went too big without proving the concept first. It was oxygen starved from the beginning. Shitty footage but here's a bundle of almost 600 that I did a few years back.

    Microsoft Snaps Up .adult And .porn Domains

    The sad (or funny?) part about this is that companies doing this are the only ones who will actually buy these TLDs, just like .xxx never really became a thing. With .xxx they even had a special registration option to pay a bunch of money to make it unavailable without actually registering and...

    OS X, iOS And Linux Have More Vulnerabilities Than Windows

    Saw the clickbait title, what the hell, I'll click it. et's see how they managed to come up with these numbers Oh, well that's pretty obvious then. Let's split up Windows by version, but then lump all Linux together. That seems totally fair! Let's calculate exploits separately for 7 versions of...

    Sex Cams At NASA And Library Of Congress?

    More like start sending offenders to federal prosecutors. No reason to punish the little guys for the abuse of the big guys. These notices are sent under penalty of perjury.

    Sex Cams At NASA And Library Of Congress?

    This will become more and more common until there are real repercussions for filing invalid reports. The RedHat story the other day ( http://torrentfreak.com/open-source-chief-at-redhat-hit-with-bogus-copyright-claims-149522/ ) shows a pretty clear trend where these copyright policing methods...

    Titanfall’s ‘No Servers Found’ Issue Affecting Players

    Wasn't that long ago the Titanfall team were singing the praises of Microsoft's Azure cloud. "One of the really nice things about it is that it isn't my problem, right?" Shiring said of potential server issues at the game's launch. "We just say [to Microsoft], here are our estimates, aim for...

    The Top Bing Searches of 2011

    The girl who plays Lady Gaga seems to have some actual talent, notably the pre-gaga song about how if she wanted to be famous she could just make up a persona that people were intrigued by. Also, Taylor Swift can play the guitar.

    The Top Bing Searches of 2011

    I have to agree that their top search phrase is likely google. Note how they didn't have a "most requested site" category, and instead have fuzzy aggregations of vague concepts or celebrity names. This is a press release wrapped up as a news article.

    Why Android Tablets Aren't Selling

    I picked up a Nook Color, rooted it, installed Phiremod (based on Android 2.3), stopped carrying my laptop. I also carry a jailbroken iphone so I can tether 3g to it if I need it, I'm not interested in another cell phone bill for a tablet. SSH is easy, Connectbot is a great client. If you're...

    Desktop Linux: The Dream Is Dead

    Who cares? If you don't like using Linux, keep buying Windows. Linux isn't going to be all things to all people, nor does it need to be. And as much fun as it is to see a bunch of Windows users spread their misinformation around, your time would likely be better spent visiting the web sites of...

    BFGTech 8800 GTS 512MB OC2 WC Edition @ [H]

    Great review guys. It really seems like these factory overclocked cards are a great way to waste money from a performance standpoint. This card seems to have almost no advantage over a reference card other than a factory installed waterblock. If you already have a water cooling system, maybe it...

    Is VIA an option?

    So long as your video content is MPEG2, this is correct... Photoshop will drag, but whatever, its not like it won't work. The C7 chips have been shown to play back Mpeg4 (divx/xvi/etc) content well enough. H.264 is another story, but not much can do that well... At least currently, its a...

    Compaq SR1800NX @ [H] Consumer

    Chris, I think it would be at least Interesting to see just how much the preinstalled software was hurting things, although only as a side note to the data you already have. For $399 out the door, a lot of us folks would consider picking one of these suckers up to use as a quiet, no-frills...
