    BioWare Employee Celebrates and Mocks TotalBiscuit’s Death

    So the old adage is meant to be followed?."De mortuis nil nisi bonum" Presumably all those that vilify such "nice" people" such as Adolf Hitler, Sadam Hussein , Idi Amin, and a list too long to mention are being right nasty. Welcome to Hypochrite World. Where the Twitterati, the Facebookers et...

    “The Expanse” Picked Up by Amazon for Season 4 after Syfy Cancellation

    This show makes Battlestar Galactica seem like a show for 15 year olds, Star Trek for 10 year old, and Star Wars for 5 year olds.

    Harley-Davidson’s First Electric Motorcycle on Track for 2019 Release

    I can see a market for fake exhausts and a noise generator to sound like a "real motorcycle. This will occur as soon as the new riders realise that without any noise they are just an accident waiting to happen. Car drivers will totally forget these silent bikes are on the road. This will be...

    Harley-Davidson’s First Electric Motorcycle on Track for 2019 Release

    Silent and deadly. Might be easier to ride but it will mean more "organ doners" on the road. Having riden a quiet bike on the road, the first thing you want is some noise so you do not get flattened. Sould rename Company to Harley-Deadson's.

    AMD CEO Lisa Su Speaks English

    Yeah her should have used the American way. Walked up to her, talked extremely loudly and assumed she spoke English. Every American knows that if you talk loudly enough, everyone will understand you.

    Man Starts “Gunbook” after Gun-Loving Friends Get Kicked Off Facebook

    Firearms were devoloped intitally for one purpose. To Kill . Not sure it is good to "boast" about it and expect no consequences. I suppose the real use of Gunbook will be for authorities and other low life to have a data base of peoples weopon collections, because only a fool would post what...

    Scam Victims Pay "Back Taxes" With iTunes Gift Cards

    Electric Cars Likely Won't Save You Money

    This is something you have purchased in spite of the economics. You are not going to say "I am a sucker". This is not to say they are a bad or even stupid buy. Just that very few people will admit to making a mistake on something like this.

    Electric Cars Likely Won't Save You Money

    You will probably have to wait 10 years or so to determine what will be the future of car power units. When there is still competing technology it is always hard to predict exactly what will win out. Often it is not the best. VHS vs Betamax for example. The worst won. Until other competing...

    Finland First to Unveil a Digital Driver’s License

    Think South Australia already has a Digital Drivers Licence since October 2017. Not sure what is special about the Finnish one over the South Australian one. Maybe they just mean First in Europe? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-09-22/south-australias-drivers-licences-set-to-go-digital/8976946

    Netflix Says “’Bright” Success Proves Film Critics Are “Disconnected from Mass Appeal”

    OK so many are worried about range etc etc etc. This version of the plane is going to be specifically used to fly from "Perth" in WA to Rottenest Island. A 25 minute ferry ride. A distance of around 34km (21 miles) . In the Video it shows the plane traveling at around 145 kph and a range of 280...

    Trump Wants Postal Service to Charge “Much More” for Amazon Shipments

    Amazon does not have control over the last mile , the delivery from Warehouse to Customer. This needs to be addressed. Amazon currently is evaluating systems to rectify this. Where this may leave the US postal service. Likely delivering less packages for Amazon. So they will loose less money...

    Is Technology About to Decimate White-Collar Work?

    If people end up with subsistence jobs paying low wages(assuming they have a job) they will not be able to afford the goods and services that corporations using AI need to make money. Governments will have no taxes and society will collapse. We will adapt or perish. But whatever happens it is...

    Lauren Schmidt Hissrich to Adapt “The Witcher” for Netflix

    Think they already made a children's version of it. It is called Shadowhunters. I am excited about this show as I am excited at the thought of getting another hole in my head. Witcher was never about the monsters, it was about the journey .

    “Gamers Aren’t Overcharged; They’re Undercharged,” Says Wall Street Analyst

    AAA: Vehicle Infotainment Systems Create Increased Distractions behind the Wheel

    Humans were never designed to do all these things. The 'intelligent' designer' did not think we needed such abilities... How wrong it was. Driving a car requires all a humans concentration.Even Turning your head to talk to a passenger increases your risk of an accident. Talking hands free...

    Jackholes Make Traffic Move Faster

    The correct procedure is for two lanes to form in this situation and each lane takes its turn to feed into the single lane from the front of the queue only.. It works if people know how to do it. It will probably work with autonomous cars. It probably won't work with humans who are as thick as...

    In the New “South Park” Game, Being Black Makes the Game Harder

    So being mixed race, as in Coloured/Colored, makes the game harder. Yes in many parts of the world that is what the word means and is considered offensive. Not sure why "People of Colour/Color" would have a different meaning to most people in the world. Yet I have heard it used on American TV...

    Traditional Radio Faces a Grim Future

    The problem with radio is all the talking 'headless' who prattle on thinking they are funny. This is especially so driving to work and all the 'breakfast' shows are on. More relaxing to just listen to your own music. And no advertisements for products and services I would never use or be...

    BBC Begins Broadcasting eSports, but Ignorant Old Farts Aren’t Happy

    Stanford Economist: All Fossil-Fuel Vehicles Will Vanish in 8 Years

    Totally unlikely except possibly in places where governments mandate you must have an electric vehicle. Ivory tower thinking, ignoring human behaviour and needs. Whilst it is likely in the next 20 years. Eight years is totally pie-in-the-sky.
