    There is a report by the AP of a second data breach pertaining to the SF-86. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_GOVERNMENT_HACKED?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2015-06-11-15-58-33

    Google Project Fi Details

    Looks like I'll be sticking with what I have. I don't know how people can keep their usage so low. Do most people have a wifi network at work that they connect too? I have broadband at home provided by comcast, so my usage is all from my time away from home. I work with a couple of people that...

    Man Buys 99 iPhones To Propose To Girlfriend

    I was going to spend 3 months pay on a ring for my wife but she told me not to. We actually argued about it. She thinks it is silly to spend a bunch of money on things like that. She is a very frugal person and I am a very lucky man :)

    Two Women Already Camping Out For Black Friday Deals

    I have taken a paid month off from work before and I will again next year. I didn't spend that time sitting in front of a store, but Black Friday isn't my sort of thing anyway.

    Dell to Axe 1K-Plus Call-Center Enterprise Staff

    Dell actually has its own call centers and employees. My brother in law works for one in Malaysia. He is a Dell employee working in a Dell owned building.

    Pirates Get A Taste Of Their Own Medicine

    The developer doesn't appear to care if the people that torrented the game feel they are in the right or not. He even states that he is not mad at them. He just shows everyone some data about the sales of the game versus the pirated numbers, then goes on to inform people what affect pirating has...

    Maxis Insider: SimCity Servers Not Necessary

    I have played this game far more than I would admit to my friends and family. I guess I was one of the lucky few that didn't experiance much down time due to the server overloads. I did notice that my game would tell me that it wasn't connected to the Sim servers often. The game played fine...

    Microsoft: Buy Office 365, Not Office 2013

    I purchased Microsoft Office 2013 Pro and installed it on two computers and a laptop (all the same key.) I didn't encounter an issue until I decided to add an mSATA drive to the laptop and did a fresh install of windows 8. Then I just did the phone activation procedure. I was asked how many...

    Why Data Caps Suck

    If the real concern that ISPs have is network congestion, it seems like opening up the local monopolies they have to competition would allow another provider to share in the network load.

    Jury Says Apple iPhone Violated Three Patents

    I don't see this as a new idea myself. This is how so many things function, even people. A sensor senses something and sends a signal to a device that will react in a certain way. Just because they use the words cellular network, cellphone, and telephone identification number doesn't chage the...

    Microsoft Wants You to Switch to Outlook.com

    I registered my first name on gmail back when it started. People are typically impressed when they see it, as impressed as one can be with an e-mail address. When I saw that microsoft was starting outlook.com I registered my first name again. It does come with some issues. I am always getting...

    The White House's Draft Cybersecurity Executive Order

    When you say "years" you do mean all the way back to George Washington right? He was the first President to start using Executive Orders. Seems like he was the first at something else as well.

    Acer Provides 16k Olympic Laptops to UK Schools

    Xbox 360 Tops Console Sales Charts Once Again in July

    I think this has more to do with college kids getting ready for school. Microsoft is running the "Buy a PC, Get an Xbox" deal again this year. I have no doubt that this deal gives them a healthy boost in 360 sales.

    Defeated Cybersecurity Bill: President Weighs Executive-Order Option

    The President is thinking about making an Executive Order that requires critical infrastructure operators to meet minimum cyber-security standards. And some of you think the majority of voters will be upset by this? If anything it will be seen as an example of the President doing what the House...

    Microsoft Wins Injunction Against Motorola Phones in Germany

    I don't see this one as patent troling. Moto should have licensed the use of the FAT file system. Microsoft seems to be pretty easy to get along with in the license department, unlike some other companies. I don't understand why Moto let this one go to court.

    Microsoft Surface Prices Revealed?

    I think Microsoft is targeting the wrong company to compete against. The Kindle Fire has sold nearly as well as the iPad 2 and I doubt that is going to change. Amazon's tablet has single handedly brought the Android OS to the same level of consumer penetration that Apple has. Microsoft's...

    First Successful Perching Of A Robotic Bird

    I think some people here are missing what this is actually showing. It isn't about the person's hand or where it lands, but how the glider decelerates before it lands. Compared to your typical glider landing, this is a very "outside the box" approach.

    D-Link Releases Streaming-Only Media Player

    The $6 price is usually for movies that are available before you can buy them on DVD/Blu-ray. I agree the price is high, but they do not remain at that level. It would have been great if this device were a boxee box 2.

    Chapel Hill Bans All Cell Phone Use While Driving

    I think these studies would have had diffrent results if they had used married men. Married men develop a remarkable ability to have a converstaion with someone and not actually pay attention to the conversation.

    MIT Unveils A 'See-Around-A-Corner' Camera Prototype

    Report: Next Xbox Won't Have Disc Drive

    I can't imagine Microsoft not including a Blu-ray drive with their next system. It has been my understanding that both MS and Sony want you to use their consoles as more than just a gaming device. They want them to be your go to entertainment device. I believe Microsoft to be very interested in...

    US Air Force Eyeing 18K iPads

    Supreme Court Upholds Restoration of Copyright Protection

    Why yes I do think we should honor an agreement that we have with other countries that are members of the WTO. I take it you don't think we should be honorable in our dealings with other countries?

    Supreme Court Upholds Restoration of Copyright Protection

    The decision makes sense to me. If a work is under a form of copyright protection in another country then the U.S. should also enforce the copyright here. This doesn't seem to be about re-copyright.

    Samsung's Transparent Smart Window

    He does say you can put it "on" your window. So I would guess that they expect it to be another layer added to an existing window. As for fingerprints LensPen Sidekick has you covered there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceE_GbSSRRE

    Reddit Planning SOPA Protest January 18th

    To me this seems like an odd way to protest. I would think this would cause more harm to the website itself than to SOPA. With the website down, they lose revenue from advertising for that period, throw users into the arms of competing websites with similar content, and cause uninformed users to...
