    Pirate Bay Founder Builds A Perpetual Piracy Machine

    I think the fight for the right to copy is a very 00's fight. This decade is about fighting for no borders when it comes to streaming services. Netflix and Hulu and such should be watchable for everyone on the globe. Think about the profits with 10 bucks per month from the 3 billion or so people...

    Amazon Dominated Nearly Everything This Year

    Amazon is huge but I read that the Chinese Amazon called Alibaba is even bigger. I usually order from Aliexpress and it is really cheap.

    Despite Windows 10, Windows Phone Is Doomed

    To be honest I barely use any apps on my phone. I have an Android and I use Chrome, Twitter, a weather app and that's about it. I don't see why people need apps for everything like banking and whatever when you can just use the web browser and use it like a PC and go to the website. Pretty much...

    Despite Windows 10, Windows Phone Is Doomed

    I just bought a Lumia 640 for my wife. It has everything she needs which is Facebook, Whats app and Candy Crush. I got it without any contract for €100 which is a very good price for a 5 inch 720p phone. I was going for the Moto G but then I saw the 640 which was on sale and it was half the...

    Windows 7 PC users refusing to move to Windows 10

    I went back to Windows 7. Maybe I'll give Win 10 a try next year but I didn't see much benefit. Mostly it was fine but some games didn't work well and unlike going from Win 7 to XP going back to 7 from 10 didn't make me miss anything.

    Xbox One Sees 81 Percent Growth Over Last Year

    You can tell it is less than PS4 still or the headline would have been how many they have sold rather than have many more in percent. It is still selling well though. Both consoles are selling well. Maybe because there is almost no competition from Nintendo.

    More Women Own Consoles Than Men

    I think it is nice that it is not just men playing games anymore. Everyone should enjoy video games.

    Radeon R9 Nano Small Form Factor Video Card Review @ [H]

    I bought the Gigabyte 970 ITX card a while ago but it did not fit in my case. It was more than short enough but the power connector was at the top rather than the back and above my video card is my SSD and there was simply no room to fit the PCIe power connector. I had to return the card. I...

    Nexus 6P Performs Poorly In Durability Test?

    I've never had a phone break. The home botton on my iPhone 4 had to be pressed really hard to work at the end and the back screen of my Nexus 4 broke but I just put a case on it and you can't tell the difference since the front screen works. My Nexus 5 got a slight bump but nothing that impacted...

    Why Self-Driving Cars Must Be Programmed to Kill

    The car will be equipped with a D&D 20 sided dice. Roll a random number to determine who the car kills. Your LUCK stat will influence the outcome. 19-20 is a critical hit on the pedestrian. But in theory if all cars are self driving there should be no accidents since the human is taken out of...

    Consumer Reports No Longer Recommends Tesla Model S

    The people who buy Tesla cars are most likely the kind who upgrade after 3 years. And they probably have warranty. The real problems come for the people buying these cars used. No one knows how a 10 year old Tesla is yet. My VW is 18 years old and apart from replacing wear and tear parts it...

    Why Sweden Is Shifting To A 6-Hour Workday

    I live in Sweden and we are not shifting to 6 hour work days. The left wing party (formarly the communist party) have been asking for it for decades but no other party agrees with them. Apart from a handful of work places 8 hour days is still the norm.

    The Apple Bias Is Real

    I don't understand why people are so obsessed with Apple. Back in the Android 1.6 days then sure iPhone was much better but I've been using Android since 4.2 (Nexus 4) and it has been great.

    Sony's 4K Smartphone Is 100% Hype

    Having gone from a Nexus 4 to Nexus 5 to Samsung Galaxy S6 in recent years I think they just want higher numbers on paper because there is no real world benefit. A lower res screen uses less batery and can display more frames per second. Anything above 720p is fine for a phone. It is insane that...

    Minecraft Creator Is Unhappy Being A Billionaire

    Money doesn't make you happy but it enables you to do things that make you happy. My wife and I want kids but cannot afford an apartment big enough to have them because we have just one bedroom and then the kids cost a lot in deipers clothes and food, daycare etc. I'd be happy just to make the...

    Nintendo Fires Employee For Speaking On Podcast

    I think it is very harsh to fire someone over something like this unless he was speaking bad about the company. From what I understand he didn't say bad things about the company so what harm is done to Nintendo? Also I think that the industry needs more openness. I Mean the so called video...

    Intel Skylake Core i7-6700K IPC & Overclocking Review @ [H]

    Would have been nice to see some 1080p gameplay tests. Is there any reason to upgrade my Ivy Bridge for gaming? 640x480 is not a resolution I play at.

    Touch screen not working after W10 upgrade.

    I got a Chuwi Vi10 2 in 1. It is a Chinese brand. Intel Z3736F based. It is dual booting android and windows and the touch works in Android so it is not a hardware problem. It also worked in w8.1. When I press on the screen it detects the press at a completely different side of the screen. I...

    Sony Testing A 'Stripped Back' Version Of Android

    After using Nexus 4 and 5 I had only used vanilla android since I had iPhone before that. However I recently got my first non-Nexus Android phone. A Galaxy S6. It is not as bad as I geared. I still prefer vanilla Android but Samsungs version is close enough. It still feels like the same OS with...

    Woman Leaves Rare Apple 1 for Recycling

    Not sure how it works there but here in Sweden the recycle stations are owned by the city and the city owns anything dropped off there. An employee who takes something from there is like an employee steeling from work.

    Netflix Price Is Lower in Countries Where Piracy Is High

    There are other factors too. For example here in Sweden Netflix costs more even if we have a lot of piracy (Piratebay is Swedish). But 79SEK (a bit over 9USD but when Netflix came to Sweden in 2012 it was 12USD. They are most likely going to increase the price because of the exhange rate) is...

    Pirate Bay Co-Founder Denied Nintendo Games In Prison

    Sweden is quite different from most countries. While many countries suffer from overpopulated prisons, here we close them down because of lack of inmates. There is enough room for everyone to get their own rooms.

    Netflix Wants to Make VPN Piracy Obsolete

    I've been using Swedish Netflix since it launched but I also use American Netflix because it has a lot more content. I don't consider it piracy since I am paying for Netflix. I hope some day that we can access everything from every country. I don't understand what the problem is when people pay...

    PlayStation Mobile Is Dead

    I don't care about PS Mobile but preventing downloads for people who have paid for games is disturbing. What about all the PS3, PSP, Vita games I have bought on PSN? Are they going to dissapear. I buy more and more games digital and you expect them to be playable 15 years from now just like when...

    Fahrenheit Is A Better Temperature Scale Than Celsius

    Celsius was Swedish so I am biased but I think Celsius makes the most sense at least in countries that have snow. It makes it easy to understand that above 0 it will be rain and below 0 it will be snow. In Fahrenheit I don't know if it is 36 degrees to bring an umbrella or a winter coat. But...

    8 Things Anita Sarkeesian Wants To Change About Video Games

    I have nothing against some games doing that. But I also don't think it is wrong for a game to put women in lingerienarmor and women who look good. You would not want to play a fat guy with a stained T-shirt and jeans. Unless that is the kind of guy you need to tell the story. And if you need a...

    12 Remastered Games You Need to Play on PS4 or Xbox One

    I don't see the point in remastering 360/PS3 games. It was one thing to get old PS2 games in HD on the PS3 because the difference was huge between SD and HD. But upscaling a 720p game to 1080p doesn't have the same impact. Even on my 52" 1080p TV PS3/360 games still look perfectly fine. Much...

    Awesome Idea of the Day

    So how do you heat up food? I use a microwave every day to heat up my lunch I bring to work. And I heat up frozen bread at home for breakfast. Doing this with a regular stove would take too long and use much more energy.

    Assassin's Creed Unity Performance Video Card Review @ [H]

    I consider the R9 270X to be lower high end, I mean it is considered a R9 and not R7 but what you consider mainstream is a 280X? Mainstream is the R7 cards. I know the 270X is not super fast but I still think it should be part of these tests.
