Couldn't agree more. At college we are forced to use IE and Bing is the default search engine, found many times it doesn't return the results i want so i purposely go to Google and Google finds exactly what i was after...

I gotta say, I'm a little surprised... Considering the implication that the judge may have been bias.... I'm not saying the decision was wrong... But if what was reported was true, then the judge clearly has a conflict of interest and that should be case for a retrial...
Why am I not surprised.... Adobe really need to get their act together....
I ditched adobe reader for foxit years ago and I haven't looked back... and if I could, I would drop flash in a heart beat...
ATM I use flashblock and noscript to only allow the flash content I want.
Doesn't look very fun to me.... Cmon Microsoft how about some booze with the party pack... :)

Out of all the arguments to be made....
iPhone threatening other mp3 players and phones... iPhone threatening to take casual gamers away from the DS and PSP in favor of the cheap fart apps and 15min time...
This sets a sad and frightening precedent...
Despite the fact it was apparently in the game already but disabled.. It was still uncovered and made available with a hack/mod..
This can only have a negative impact on game modding in the future.
The funny thing is, despite the controversy the...
I agree totally....
While thee is no real advantage for preventing some sex offenders from the net.... a 18 year old who committed statutory rape by having sex with his 17 year old girlfriend... to some extent even a convicted rapist...

The mystery was solved quite easily...
There was only one person in the house whose spelling was so bad that he...
Lets face it, Intel has been a bully...
It's not like they don't make good products... but i put them in the same basket of creative... good products but as a company their business ethics suck...
lets not forget the allegations that Intel would withhold shipments from their customers to...
Also we seem to forget that intel's behavior not only effects AMD... what about Nvidia (nforce chipsets, their ion platform) and especially VIA, who have the nano... VIA have owned the low power processors arena for years and have now been kicked to the curb by intels atom... despite the fact...
No doubt corks are popping at the AMD headquarters after the EU ruling and AMD are doing their best to bring extra attention to it
@Methadras I think the EU ruling is a little too late, obviously AMDs PR is a little stupid but the bottom line is intel HAS obviously been acting illegally...
If there is a way to utilize the larabee cores as fully functional x86 processors... through hacked drivers.. ect..

Google buying skype, i could live with that

I haven't purchased a pc game in ages.... I've had to download cracks for legitimately purchased games in the past (FEAR!), just to get them to run and this is becoming a regular occurrence. I don't have anything drive emulation software installed like demons-tools.... the problems faced by...
Unacceptable
Game publishers these days are really becoming out of tune with their audiences and seem to have no trouble pissing them off and alienating them.
Want more sales? Want less piracy? Want less used game sales?
Ditch DRM all-together . Only require a serial number for online...
You just got canned .. You find you still have a login . Revenge seems to be a pretty good motive to me

GTA 4 Might be ok...after playing the multilayer...
On an interesting note it appears that a Russian firm have managed brute force decryption of WPA/WPA2 wireless encryption. Using the mass parallel processing capabilities of newer nvidia graphics cards and their gpgpu technology they sped up decryption times by "10,000 percent"...
Im no expert on quantum cryptography though its been theorized for many years that a 64 qubit quantum computer would be somewhere in the ballpark of 18 Billion Billion times faster then fastest of today's desktop computers. Quantum computers may be as little as 15-20 years off or as many as...
Adobe really have something to answer for here.
There have been far too many flash exploits lately.
The flaws back in April prompted me to deploy the flashblock Firefox extension on every system i manage.
It is time adobe stepped up to the plate, Gave flash a well needed re-write.... for...
