    T-Mobile Wants to be Your Uncarrier Cable TV Company

    Hopefully a rollout near me. I'll sign up day 1. I'm so disgusted with Comcast that I would literally pay MORE for the same service just to deny them revenue. Same reason I jumped ship from Verizon to T-Mobile, though VZW sure got a lot more amicable to not billing me double rates for half the...

    Amazon Wants a Key to Your House. I Did It. I Regretted It.

    At least the delivery person will probably drop a deuce in your toilet instead of on your driveway. They probably won't flush though, just to give you that "full-service" experience.

    New Amazon Patent Might Give You a Discount for Watching Content

    Isn't this what mobile apps have been doing since forever? Watch an ad, get something free that you'd normally pay for. Either that's prior art, or a whole lot of apps are now violating Amazon's "patent". And yeah, commercials.

    The FCC Has Unveiled Its Plan to Repeal Its Net Neutrality Rules

    I am at this point also, it's not about one party or the other, we need to remove the party system altogether. I do agree with what you said, but both options suck. It's as if you have two choices. One choice is having someone who says they're your best friend, patting you on your shoulder and...

    Defiant Theater Owners Are Refusing to Play “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”

    I would actually be OK with this. I'll pay $20 for a movie ticket, drink, popcorn, and candy (or whatever) per person. I feel like I'm getting something then, as opposed to $15 for the ticket and $5 for a drink only right now. Too bad I'm sure there are rules in place to avoid this kind of...

    iPhone X Got Sold Out Within Minutes, New Orders Won’t Ship Before End Of Year

    You can reorder them but you cannot have any space between icons. Which means you can't group them on either side, top and bottom, or just have a row of frequently used apps separated by a space. iOS 11 on iPad at least has a launcher bar now, which despite looking kind of dumb initially has...

    iPhone X Got Sold Out Within Minutes, New Orders Won’t Ship Before End Of Year

    I will never stop believing Apple is more than an exceptionally good mimic until they at least allow you to move the icons around on your phone. I mean seriously, it's almost 2018. I should be able to arrange my damn icons as I please, it's not even a security issue or a usability issue. And...

    Intel's 8th Generation Core Family - Coffee Lake (LGA 1151, 6C/12T)

    According to the numbers posted by OC3D, the 7820x overclocked at 4.8ghz shows 171/2020 Cinebench R15 single/multithreaded, 147/1751 stock. The 7700K is at 168/963 stock. So even overclocked, single core it's not even threatening the Kaby Lake i7. For giggles, the best score posted by Ryzen is...

    Apple Is Designing iPhones, iPads That Would Drop Qualcomm Components

    I think they're both wrong. Apple is a terrible company selling even more terrible products, and I only support them because I've never been able to have all my mobile gear "just work" together with no hassle like Apple's does. As noted, this is two rich, greedy companies fighting it out for...

    Star Citizen’s New Planet-Sized Cities Unveiled at Citizen Con

    Some day there will be a year when both Mechwarrior: Mercenaries 5 and Squadron 42 both come out, and it will be glorious. I'm very positive about things.

    EVE Developers Pulling Out of VR

    All I want is stationary 3D gaming. Can't we just get 4K/60fps in 3D over HDMI already? With passive 3D? I don't need to look behind me but I'd love to look out the "window" in front of me. I've avoided Vive/Oculus thus far primarily because of cost, but secondarily because I hear the pixel...

    Best brand of Riser Cable?

    You sir, are evil. I was going to do that kind of thing with my radiator but now I'm thinking that a video card there would probably look better and be more beneficial for airflow. I'm going to have to try it...

    Apple Is Designing iPhones, iPads That Would Drop Qualcomm Components

    As someone who had to deal with an Intel-modem-based iPhone, this is not a Good Thing. But at the same time, Qualcomm deserves to get checked. What a dilemma.

    Are Audiences Too Lazy to Appreciate Blade Runner 2049?

    I really wanted to see this film, and I'm very much into sci-fi and noir, but I passed on this one. Why? Two reasons: first, I haven't seen the original film in over 10 years, so I'm not really up to speed on the story line, and I felt I would not get as much out of the movie having no idea of...

    The USPS Is Building a Self-Driving Mail Truck

    I think I'm in the test area for this technology already. Only half of my mail gets delivered sometimes. I've had multiple pieces of mail sent out together, from the same post office, and only half of it reaches me, while the other half gets returned as undeliverable (all same address, same...

    Intel's 8th Generation Core Family - Coffee Lake (LGA 1151, 6C/12T)

    I have a 4670 (non-K) on an Asus Z87 TUF and it allows running the chip at the 3.8ghz turbo speed full time. Of course, I haven't updated the BIOS in literally years and I haven't run a benchmark lately to prove it's really running at that speed but I have no reason to not believe it. Right now...

    Intel's 8th Generation Core Family - Coffee Lake (LGA 1151, 6C/12T)

    Probably a lot of people like me that are super frustrated with Intel, first for rigging the market, then obsoleting their last platform early, releasing a poor X299 lineup, and now a paper launch with Coffee Lake. We all want to give AMD their due but their technology is just so far behind that...

    Amazon Is Testing Its Own Delivery Service to Rival FedEx and UPS

    Anything AMZL delivers has a 50/50 chance of actually being delivered in my experience. But they are still better than OnTrac, which doesn't even deliver (but marks it all 'delivered' anyway). As much as I'd like some competition for UPS/FedEx, AMZL's performance is definitely bottom-barrel...

    Microsoft Announces Edge for iOS and Android

    I hugely await a replacement for Safari, especially one that supports normal things like Java and embedded video. But AFAIK Apple limits browsers to using the Safari rendering engine anyway, so on iOS they're all Safari browsers with a different skin, is that correct? Otherwise, I'll actually...

    570X vs View 31

    I switched from a 570x to a Thermaltake View 71. The 570x is definitely more "solid" but the View 71 gets the job done as well just fine. Neither one of them are Lian-Li cases, and I appreciate the huge amount of additional flexibility the View 71 gives me over the oddly half-baked 570x design...

    DirectCU helps to keep me from losing components to heat and provides better gameplay experience due to lower noise. DX11 is a step up from my current generation of hardware, and PhysX is always a welcome enhancement to the gaming experience (currently running an AMD card). And I've always had...
