    Battleborn: Competitive Multiplayer Reveal Trailer

    The first rule of the Battleborn Closed Tech Test is that you don't talk about the Battleborn Closed Tech Test.

    Far Cry 4 writer calls gamers terrorists

    Damn good thing those bombs that fell on Dresden only killed the Nazis. Who is forcing any company to do anything? Pointing out sexist/racist tropes is not forcing anyone to change anything. Bringing attention to it might possibly alter consumer behavior at the margins. That's what everyone...

    Far Cry 4 writer calls gamers terrorists

    A calm, logical discussion of how many journalists an indie developer slept with? A developer of an indie game that nobody in GG would have paid money for anyway? Pointing out that gamers are more diverse so maybe games should have content that is more diverse is a radical notion and an...

    Rural Broadband Service Subsidy Approved by Court

    If there's no such thing as a market inadequacy, then you believe the free market is always adequate. Are you really going to try to defend that position? I'll get some popcorn. We did actually collectively decide such a thing. It's called representative democracy. You may not like it, but...

    Rural Broadband Service Subsidy Approved by Court

    Because left to their own devices, there would be large swaths of the country without any communications services because the population densities don't warrant investment in infrastructure. Subsidies and deals (tax, access, hookers & blow, etc.) correct for these market inadequacies because...

    Microsoft May Halt Xbox One Production

    They can't lose compatibility with the units already out there. If anything, it's time for a real price cut (not the secret/not so secret $50 cut retailers have been using to clear out inventory). I can't believe how much they screwed the pooch this time around. I had an Xbox and Xbox 360...

    Understanding Anti-Matter With the Help of GPUs

    Any physics types who can weigh in (no pun intended)? To the extent that antimatter has mass, why wouldn't it be affected by gravity/mass distortions in space-time? If antimatter falls "up," wouldn't accretion disks around black holes be spewing this stuff? /English major #whatthehelldoiknow

    HealthCare.gov Cracked In 4 Minutes

    You have health insurance through your employer. You don't qualify for ACA coverage. It's for people on the individual market, who historically have had much worse insurance than your employer-assisted plan.

    HealthCare.gov Cracked In 4 Minutes

    The goalposts are over here, not over there. Hand the list of 70,000 names over to someone in the administration for verification. Did he do that? I'm not asking him to divulge how he did it -- I just want this to be more than "I have here in my hand a list of 205 communists working for state...

    HealthCare.gov Cracked In 4 Minutes

    And his hack revealed names and email addresses. No patient records. Maybe. Did he actually give proof of this to anyone? Deep, deep from the Fox news report: "There have been no confirmed security breaches or hacks of the site yet, despite the alarming current and past testimony from the panel."

    NSA: No Better Way To Protect US Than Surveillance

    Efficacy isn't really the issue. What he's saying is true for the physical world as well. We'd all be a lot safer if law enforcement could just enter our homes whenever they wanted to look for stuff. It's that pesky Fourth Amendment that gets in the way. We wouldn't tolerate this kind of...

    Microcenter BF ad out I7 4770K $249

    $99 for the HDHomeRun Prime is pretty hot. I picked one up a year ago for $169 and it's quickly become one of the most useful multimedia devices I have. MythTV and WMC both use it without a hitch, and Comcast can't charge me for a cable box I don't have.

    Saints Row IV 24.99

    Holiday sales are right around the corner. If you have any kind of game backlog at all, I'd wait. I'm guessing you'll be able to pick this up for under $20 in just a few months.

    Argh! This is one of the few 7950s that would fit in my Storm Scout. Of course, I bit on a Tahiti 7870 instead about three months ago. Should have waited.

    Another 1.8M People Just Ditched Cable TV

    There's a ton of great programming on cable. Hell, there are better programs out there on small cable networks than the old major broadcast networks. The problem for cable is that if your audience doesn't need to watch that great programming the second it comes out, then there's no need for...

    Windows 8.1 Build Addresses First-Time User Complaints

    Is there $160 worth of improvements to make it worth doing this, rather than just sticking with Windows 7? (For existing installations, obviously.) I had to install Start 8 on my mom's new laptop because the UI was driving her nuts.

    The Government Wants To Make Unauthorized Streaming A Felony

    That's not what the report is suggesting. In your scenario, the person who uploaded the copyrighted material might face some enforcement action. They're really wanting to go after Russian sites that stream movies for profit, but they'll no doubt propose legislation that's much broader than that...
