    Congress Proposes Repeal of $7,500 EV Tax Credit

    Thank God! This will let Trump give maybe a whole $1 million back to the oil industry. The country has been saved! Oh, you didn't think this was actually going to lower your taxes did you? HaHaHaHa.

    Former Equifax CEO Blames a Single Employee Not Working on Breach

    Why should they care? There is no punishment for lack of security. Heck even after the breach they have just been given a $7+ million contract by the IRS so they can let even more of our information get stolen. Until CEO are held personally responsible there will be no change.

    Google and Levi’s $350 “Smart Jacket” Can Only Be Washed 10 Times

    So you think everyone (or even a majority) could read a map and survive in the middle of nowhere with just a knife and compass before GPS was invented? Reads like just another "LOL stoopid millennials!!!!" post.

    Visa Is Offering Restaurants $10,000 to Stop Accepting Cash

    Not really. Swiping a card is a lot more convenient and easy to use than going through a bunch of bills and waiting for the cashier to figure out your change. If you lose your cash or it gets stolen, it's gone. If you lose your card or it gets stolen, you just report it and get a new one and...

    Spigen Accuses Andy Rubin's Company Essential Products of Trademark Infringement

    Trademarking common words just needs to stop. If you can't be bothered to come up with an original name instead of just flipping through the dictionary, then you don't need a trademark.

    Facebook Fined $112 Million Over WhatsApp

    Wow Facebook managed to match phone numbers from one database to phone numbers from another? Who would have ever imagined such an impressive technical feat would ever occur in our lifetime? I take it the Commission doesn't actually have anyone with IT knowledge. I like their "well it wouldn't...

    Fewer Cord-Cutters Flocking to Live-TV Streaming Services Than Expected

    While price was a factor, the main reason I finally dropped cable a few years ago was that I realized I didn't like anything that was on and really hadn't for years. I only ever had the TV on as background noise. So why would I go to a service that offered the exact same thing? Even my Netflix...

    Comcast Drops F-Bomb on Customer

    As a father of a young daughter, I find the guy's reaction a bit over the top. Unless they keep the kid locked in a closet, he has been exposed to that type of language already. And don't tell me that the tech installing the box didn't know about the name. I mean it just randomly happened to...

    The Netflix Offline Windows 10 Storage Folder is Revealed

    I have a 300Mbps connection at home and there are still times when Netflix has to buffer a show or lower the quality because of issues I have no control over. If I can fully download a show/movie in a couple of minutes and avoid any playback issues, why not? Also I don't have fast unlimited data...

    Intel Crosses an Unacceptable Ethical Line

    Nothing new from Intel or pretty much any company out there. Do you really think they are going to hold a press conference showing their product doesn't perform as well as the competition? This is why you ignore corporate presentations and wait for actual real world reviews. Honestly the press...

    The Backlash against Bill Gates' Call for a Robot Tax

    Well when the 99% is out of a job and can't afford to buy anything, a robot tax won't matter anyway because there won't be many businesses left to pay taxes. But what does that matter? Companies need to replace more workers so their stock price can go up a penny tomorrow.

    Electronic Arts Now Offers Annual Membership to Origin Access for $30

    90% of the games I've bought in my life, I played through once and never touched again. Before Steam and digital gaming I could at least sell them and get some money back. Now I can't do that and those game just sit in my Steam library. For that reason I've cut down my game purchases by a large...

    No Man's Sky Patch Notes

    All games are repetitive at their core. If you're having fun you don't notice it. If you're not having fun then you call it a boring grind. I played NMS at a friends for a couple of hours yesterday. Even with the issues, I would have bought and enjoyed this game if it cost about $15. But even...

    No Man’s Sky Has Already Lost 78% Of Its Playerbase

    Sadly it doesn't matter how quickly people gave up on the game, since the company already got their money for what is basically an early beta. People need to stop getting caught up in hype and preordering games. This stuff won't stop until us gamers make it stop. I heard they are already hinting...

    No Man's Sky's Day-One Patch Changes The Entire Game

    At least they took the criticisms and worked to change the game a bit. I was looking forward to it until they announced the $60 price tag. $25 would have pretty much been an instant buy. Now I'll be waiting a few months to see how it plays out.

    Steam Hardware Survey for July 2016

    The average user doesn't do much that actually requires real control in the OS. And I'm sure most of them already own a smartphone, so what's one more company getting their information (not like MS wasn't already getting it before W10)? We lost the privacy fight ages ago. Unless you plan to...

    “Star Trek” Reveals Title, First Look At U.S.S. Discovery

    I don't think it is that bad for a pre-TOS design. It looks a lot more like what I would think of than the NX--01 ever did, or even the uninspired fan designs with Enterprise parts randomly rearranged. Sure it looks Klingon (they even play the Klingon theme music as an acknowledgement of it) but...
