    Traditional Radio Faces a Grim Future

    I Primarily Listen to Sirius/XM in the car. Octane or the new Turbo station. This is mainly because where I live, in Northwest Alabama there isn't much to choose from in the way of FM stations. a couple country stations, a classic rock station, a Pop station and that is about it. When I travel...

    FCC Wants Mobile Data to Count as Broadband Internet

    I love living in the country, however my internet speeds for the DSL is capped at 3meg (I pay 60 bucks for that too) and my cell phone downloads about the same speed on LTE and uploads around 500k. There's is no cable service here I have direct TV. I haven't even been exposed to anything faster...

    Game of Thrones Episode 4 Leaks Online

    I'll just wait and watch it tomorrow night on my TV. I pay for the movie channels so I don't have to be bothered with torrents, grainy video, and illegal activity. I also enjoy going to the movies to watch movies, especially at the drive in where it's 6 bucks a car load for 2 first run movies...

    The Small Things in Life...Android Msg Gets "Mark as Read" on Notifications

    I've had this a very long time on the standard messaging app that is on my Note 5. It came with the 7.0 update. Marking as read also shows up on the senders phone that I read the message. Pretty much everyone I text or receive texts from use Samsung phones so it's probably a feature that we have...

    Verizon and AT&T Slow Due To Unlimited Data Plans

    I haven't noticed any slow downs, then again my phone service was never fast to start with. In fact this is about the fastest AT&T I've had in a very long time.

    The Top 5 Best Motherboards of All Time

    I still have mine. It's in the box with a Prescott on it. I still have the rounded IDE cables and sata adapters for ide drives I bought with it too. I imagine it will still post and run but it's been in the basement since I upgraded to a Core 2 system. I thought the cooling setup back then was...

    Intel Coffee Lake 6-Core CPU-Z Screenshot Leaked

    I literally just upgraded my AMD 1100t build to a 7700k and a Asus STRIX Z270E Gaming Motherboard 2 days ago. Any word if this is going to be compatible with the Z270 chipset with a BIOS update? I don't feel like changing everything again and I probably wouldn't because I really like this build...

    Racing Drone Sets Guinness Speed Record at 163 MPH

    I have foam aircraft that can hit those speeds. My 4s EDF powered Squall has been on radar at 186mph. That is fast for rotor powered aircraft though. I have seen a video of a RC helicopter hitting 170 mph.

    Netflix Is Bleeding Millions Due to Password Sharing

    I pay for a Netflix account and have since they first started and only sent out DVD's. I have always lent out my password to a few family members who are cord cutters. They use it way more than I would ever use it. I might watch a couple movies but I do watch their original content. House of...

    Galaxy Note 8 Will Launch in Late September for over $900

    I'll probably have to get 2 of them. My wife uses a Note 4 and I have the Note 5. We love the size we often use the stylus for various things. We've been waiting for the next Note, unfortunately now we will be on the same upgrade cycle since my wife was supposed to get the Note 7. For the...

    Samsung’s Software Still Has Trouble Catching up to Its Hardware

    Samsung did the Google play edition of the S4. I would love to see them continue to do this for all their flagship devices. Until then I'll just have to wait until the next Note is released to replace my current Note 5 which on Nougat is still very capable and fast enough for everything I do.

    AMC Plans Ad-Free Streaming Service

    I heard about that, but Zombie shows aren't my thing. I prefer my science fiction to be either in the Marvel Universe or Space based. I've watched some Breaking Bad on Netflix though.

    AMC Plans Ad-Free Streaming Service

    I don't watch AMC. Ever. They have literally nothing for me to watch that I can't find on another channel, usually without commercials. For old Movies TCM is better. No commercials.

    Studios Flirt with Offering Movies Early in Home for $30

    I just take the kids to the drive in (they still exist). It's always a double feature and it's always new movies. Last weekend we saw beauty and the beast/ Kong skull Island. 10 bucks for a car load and bring your own snacks or buy theirs.

    VR & AR Headset Market Expected to Grow 58% Annually, Reaching 99.4 Million Units

    I Tried a Friends Vive. It was a lot of fun but I wasn't impressed with the resolution. I plan on waiting a couple of generations for refinements to be made and better resolution in the display. I think it is definitely the way things will be moving in the next 3-5 years.

    Retrospective: Why Did Old PCs Have Key Locks?

    My Osicom 286 had one. It was my first pc after my TRS-80. It was fast at 16mhz. I jumped it to 20mhz though with a desk fan to keep it cool.

    Blast from the Soltek Past

    I had a couple soyo boards. They were awesome back in the day. They were both slot 1s with coppermine 800mhz CPU's. I could probably find one of them downstairs. I have a dual fan alpha heatsink on it too. I know I overclocked it but I can't remember how fast it was anymore.

    Blast from the Soltek Past

    I had a NF7-S from Abit. I can't remember what processor I had on it but I replaced it with the IC7 Max 3 which I still have in the box in the basement. It has a Prescott on it still too. That NF7-S was retired in 2012, the entire system with its 4600 ti was given to my dad for his office work...

    Streaming Subscription Audience Surpasses Pay-TV Subscribers in US

    We have to have satellite where I live or go without. There is no antenna reception here, mountains are in the way of the broadcast antennas which are 60 miles away. Comcast does not come out here and the Internet is maxed out 3meg DSL (60 bucks a month for that too).

    Android Challenges Windows as World’s Most Popular Operating System in Terms of Internet Usage

    We don't use the PC to browse the web, my wife and I have Galaxy S2 tablets for that. The only time I actually use the PC for browsing is either for work or to download a file for a game that is on the PC. My wife hasn't touched a PC in 2 years now. Chrome has the ability to view desktop...

    Just What does Intel Have up Its Sleeve in Response to Ryzen?

    I'm still running my 2009 PC build. A AMD 1100t. No real reason to change it since it does everything I need to do. Runs windows 10 very well with a SSD and 970 gtx I can play everything I want to play when it comes to gaming. I would definitely throw some money to AMD for a new build though but...

    Ransomware Ruthlessness Revealed

    I've never seen this problem myself but I don't have anything of great value on any of my computers. Anything I want to keep gets burnt to a DVD/Blu ray, or usb thumb drive. My system could get a ransomware virus today and I would just wipe the drive and reload. At worst I would have to download...

    VR Adoption Among Steam Users Has Crashed To A Halt

    Steam Hardware Survey for July 2016

    I I would say that it sounds like someone who bought the wrong hardware and is making the advantages of the other product sound like a drawback. I also don't have either of the products myself. I'll wait a generation or so to see how it all pans out. If I was going to put money down today...

    18-Year-Old’s Startup Rolls Out Teal, World’s Fastest Commercial Drone

    I have a friend who races 250 size quads and his is good for 93mph. That was confirmed by a radar gun. It can't sustain it for more than a couple minutes though. It's a kit that you build and not pre-built. As far as rotor aircraft, helicopters are faster. SAB Goblin Speed is a 150mph Heli.

    States Most Likely To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse

    Alabama is the same. We often go out into the woods around here and there are more guns than owners here too. That being said, there's a crap load of cemeteries here too. They're not just in towns either, just about every church has one, and there are cemeteries hundreds of years old in the...
