    Caught Spying on Student, FBI Demands GPS Tracker Back

    Maybe it's the rebel in me. I would have given it directly to the ACLU and told the officers exactly what they could go do with their tracking device.

    RIAA: U.S. Copyright Law 'Isn't Working'

    We should be able to sue the power company too. After all, it's their energy that's allowing these pirates to steal all these songs! There's also all the people involved in selling the house to the person, getting the house built, buying the land, then there's the BLM for selling the land...

    Free Wi-Fi Is Bad For Business

    I have to travel 2 hours away some days to take my wife to the doctor's office. While she's in at the doctors, I sit in a starbucks and work at nearly 100% efficiency. I Never work on wifi as an un-paying customer. I will grab a specialty coffee and a treat. If I'm there all day I'll have 2-3...

    Can Flash Be Saved?

    Saved? Saved? Isn't it very much the top dog right now? How does it need to be saved? If Apple doesn't want flash to be on their devices, that doesn't mean it's killing Flash. I'm not saying it's not (like most of Adobe's products) a steaming pile of manure, but something that has a fraction of...

    Astronauts on ISS Finally Have Internet Access

    The way they do it is pretty cool too... They remote into a ground PC that is what uses the internet. So there's much less chance of anything happening.

    Wall Outlet With Built In Extension Cord

    Eh... Not really... I think most people aren't looking over their home to see how they use their outlets. It's a nice idea for the switched outlets as I always seem to want a lamp on the other side of the room But for a majority of my outlets, I don't need something that lets me go further...

    Eyefinity Update

    Ooh, could even make 1" square monitors that fit together with special couplings and power/data connections. could have a wrap-around or even bubble, or even spherical screen. All depending on the couplers you select and the # of 1" monitors you use. Also would allow for a double-wide laptop...

    Eyefinity Update

    I honestly don't know the technology... BUT... Is there a way to make an LCD or (O)LED monitor that has no bezels? Zero edge screen? Is it possible? Obviously it wouldn't be for the everyday user, since most people need them so they won't break the screen, but for professionals, it might be...

    Homeland Security May Use Wii Balance Boards

    I dunno man. I'd agree that they don't have the right to look at my bodily functions while I'm in my home... but you're in public. They can record your height, your visual appearance, any sound you emit, etc. Seems like a reasonable technological step to record bodily functions. As for the...

    Are DVDs Nearing the End?

    I think the CEO of Netflix would know better than anybody else. I don't even have cable TV anymore, I watch everything through my PS3 with PlayOn. Hulu, Netflix, etc etc have almost everything I want to watch. Now if they could just get The Big Bang Theory full episodes on CBS or Hulu... And...

    Light Peak Technology

    For the consumer market, fiber has to be a lot more durable than I think it is today. I'm not sure they can make a fiber cable nearly as durable as your typical ethernet cable is today, and without the durability, consumers are going to hate it and shun it... Geeks will love it, 10G? That's...

    The Unspoken Truth About Managing Geeks

    The Unspoken Truth About Managing Geeks

    I recall the executives hiring on a person that was going to be working closely with IT. So they had their two candidates through a few interviews, the last of each I sat in on. One of them I thought was perfect, and the other I thought I had to be being punked, he knew how to schmooze...

    The Unspoken Truth About Managing Geeks

    Freakishly accurate article! I especially liked the point... I think that's because in general most IT people love what they do. Even if we didn't have a job, we'd still be doing many of the same things... But we get to do it with much more fun and expensive toys in a workplace.

    Microsoft Apologizes For Photoshop Debacle

    If this had been shopping one white dude in for another white dude, or a black guy for a white guy, nobody would have said a single thing. Race relations is just so ridiculous.

    Fifty Percent of Doctors Use Wikipedia

    I don't see a problem with doctors using wikipedia as a reference. All books are written by people and each one has the potential to be wrong. As long as Wikipedia isn't their only reference, I think it's fine.
