If anyone is surprised by this, their head's been stuck in the sand. A lot of these "great leaders" turn out to be awful people who were also obsessive enough about a particular vision to pull it off (often after many failures). Anybody still think Zuckerberg or Palmer Lucky are good...

I think MS has a clear vision of where they want this hardware to be. I know many were underwhelmed by the actual experience of the first hololens, but the concepts are still killer. I would kill to be able to use a capable AR device on the shop floor at work - to be able to overlay part designs...

Surprising nobody...

And to think, Disney owns even more franchises they didn't create now that they've bought Fox. Who's looking forward to Aliens: Rainbow Star Adventures - The Musical???

Cool idea for those that still want to use the cartridges. I'll keep my hacked SNES Classic, though.

And people say gamers aren't reasonable...

I can't stand Apple devices, but I have to admit they are pretty much unimpeachable on security. I wish Android phones were more unified that way.

This is not exactly surprising - big companies care about the bottom line, not the service nor the availability. I live on a cul-de-sac surrounded by Comcast fiber, but with no fiber run down our road. They don't want to touch our little road because the number of houses is too small. Luckily, a...

The more outspoken Bioware employees lately have been real pieces of work. This douchebag should be canned. How much worse can you get than being a dick about the death of a widely-beloved member of your own industry?

I run solution sets for large stress analysis models almost daily at work. Runs can take from 30 minutes to several hours. Even a 10% reduction in runtime can mean 1 or 2 extra runs the same day. That's more than enough reason for my boss to throw a few grand down for a faster machine. I am one...

Might be optimistic, but I'm hoping for a 25%-30% increase. They've said before there are clear improvements that can be made. I would be surprised if Jim Keller left them with an architecture that can't evolve and improve significantly - seems like that was the basis for a lot of the design...

I'm interested to see what Intel can come up with. They have far more resources than AMD and I want to see an Nvidia competitor that can put them back in their place. I can always hope Navi will live up to the promises, but Vega was pretty disappointing.

This is my biggest worry, too. Disney is the ultimate money-over-originality machine. I have been totally unimpressed by the vast majority of their recent films (Star Wars definitely included). I like movies and I worry what cinema becomes when most of it is just about money and merchandise...

I love reading WCCFTech only because it's clear that every article is published as quickly as humanly possible, with zero regard for accuracy, clarity, or editing. It can produce some rather entertaining paragraphs and typos. I also love it when they profusely claim they have exclusive...

If there's haptic feedback so you can tell you're on the sensor, I'm in. Face scanning is clumsier than a fingerprint scanner anyways. The X seems like such a blatant downgrade that way, I was a little surprised Apple got away with it (only a little).

I'm so glad they're pushing this. They are so much more capable than a $100 Android tablet... at doing... things... reasons... *mumbles Steve Jobs quotes under breath*

He's behind the times. I deleted my Facebook account like 7 years ago!

Oh good, I can ignore it a second time.

Sounds promising. I know there have been approximately 9 billion articles about new battery technology that doesn't ever seem to materialize, but battery tech really does need to advance. If EV batteries were less expensive they might be a viable purchase. If batteries weren't so volatile, you...

Without breaking the bank? The next time you need new phones, don't buy Apple...? Unless you buy some overpriced 'flagship' phone, you'll already be saving $250-$750 per phone. Plenty of excellent options in the $150-$350 range.

Samsung marketing is always ridiculous. I am interested to see where micro-LED goes, though. I know OLED burn-in is nearly always non-permanent, but it can happen and that makes me very hesitant to spend the $$$. MicroLED sounds like my holy Grail - no down-side I know of as long as prices are...

I tend to agree, but it's tough to say what kind of visual havoc being surrounded on all sides by 20 panes of glass would create. Most of them probably just aren't paying attention... But having a crapload of glass everywhere can't possibly be helping. If even sticky notes werewer allowed, I'm...

Have to agree here. I've got a G5 Plus That works great, but I buy Samsung S's for the wife because of their excellent cameras. She loves taking photos, and is well worth it if it's the primary camera she uses.

Man, being a bit aggressive with the accusations. All valid points you make, but I didn't contradict any of them. If I were an aerospace engineer, and I am, I would also know that commercial aircraft (about which I'm talking here) don't fly at the high altitudes that the shuttle flew at while...

I have never seen Intel show humility. But I tend to agree that they should. This seems to be as significant a problem as any chip maker has ever had, especially for servers and workstations, their highest-volume customers. I'd like to at least see a promise that the next generation of chips...

To be clear here, Boeing did NOT design the SR-71. Kelly Johnson and Ben Rich of Lockheed Skunkworks' fame did (along with many others). This is an unveiling of a competitor concept to Lockheed's already-unveiled SR-72 concept: https://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/news/features/2015/sr-72.html An...

Yes people are opting for the X Over the 8, IF they are buying a new iPhone. I know only two people out of all my co-workers and friends that actually own an X. Many of these people are those who would have jumped at the chance to buy a new iPhone in the past, but the X presents nothing new or...

This seems like an odd decision, but maybe there's a trend back towards shopping in big box stores I don't know about...?

Someone rich lost $4 Billion? It really tugs at the heart strings, seeing the plight of the 1% In all seriousness, force-feeding people that use your services less crap is a nice sentiment, but no sweeping change is ever all positive. A lot of small businesses use Facebook to spread awareness...

I guess it's time for the wealthy to get reacquainted with giardia

Easy there, Tamberlane. I owned my last phone for 3.5 years, and I bought this one at Costco for the warranty. And I misspoke, it was $200. Cool, your phone was cheaper, and I'm sorry my phone doesn't live up to your standards, I guess...? My point is that my phone can do everything (that...

Bought my current phone (Moto G5) for $250, and it has everything every flagship has except the edge-edge screen. I'm glad to see that some people are finally waking up to the fact that iPhones are just not that special anymore. Save your money for something that matters, like a new GPU...

No way they can read the whole drive. The two sets of heads are on opposite ends of the platter stack. I would hope they can at least operate with half the drive's total capacity if one actuator fails, but that's the best you could hope for.

They didn't because it's a terrible idea. Doubling the chance of failure in a mechanical device is just stupid.

Windows Mobile is still my favorite mobile OS. If I could run/emulate x86 software, and plug into a monitor and keyboard at the end of the day... Instant sell. The folding design would just be icing.

Please no. Make something original, or at least try. The Force Awakens was such a disappointment. My expectations for The Last Jedi were lowered long ago to "maybe it won't suck." If Johnson can pull off something truly different, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for his new trilogy. If...

I have to admit, I had a temporary lapse in judgement and bought an Echo Dot (it was dirt-cheap) with a smart plug for my wife. It allowed her to turn a light off in the baby's room while carrying our little guy. It was very convenient at a time when we were both rather sleep-deprived with a...

Chutes are almost impossible to direct, and can get grabbed by gusts very easily. When aiming for such a tiny target from near-orbit, the random trajectory changes from a chute make it a poor choice. You can eject the chute at a high altitude, but again the problem is that it may have already...

When it comes to space, things almost have to be subsidized (though for orbital missions/satellite launches, that is not the case). No company could justify spending billions of its own dollars on a mission to Mars to it's board of directors. However, I think the technological - and potential...

EA always at the forefront of the race to monetize everything. But, let's be honest here, it was Disney that gave Star Wars games to EA in the first place. The fact that Star Wars is a Disney franchise just takes all my interest and crushes it under a white-gloved fist.
