    This trailer will make you want to buy a Xbox Series X, and the $4 a month for GamePass Ultimate should seal the deal!

    That's pretty crazy. Seems like the majority of the go-forward titles are essentially developed in a way that is cross-platform enough it takes very little effort to get them running on the Xbox or PC platforms.

    This trailer will make you want to buy a Xbox Series X, and the $4 a month for GamePass Ultimate should seal the deal!

    So you can play pretty much all the new xbox games interchangeabley on PC or Series X?

    I don’t think this is still for sale. PMd op twice and no response.

    Comcast Tripling The Size Of Its Social Media Customer Service Team

    Social media support is all about disinformation and burying complaining customers. What good is online support when your connection is down and you can't get online? :D

    Apple: Only 9 Customers Have Complained About 'Bendgate'

    It's Bendghazi, not bendgate... Very overblown.

    15 Year Old Who “SWATTED” Gamer Given 25 Years To Life

    Interestingly enough, people stupid enough to do this are also probably stupid enough to believe the story. It's a win-win.

    $15,500 "Facebook" Bill

    It didn't cost 500gbp either. Probably more like 50gbp, they are still making a huge profit.

    $15,500 "Facebook" Bill

    Regardless of the circumstances, this qualifies to me under the "rent is too damn high" principle - there is no conceivable way that telcos can charge that much with a straight face. $20 a megabyte for international data is absurd. :eek:

    ASUS RoG Announces Stunning G550JK Gaming Notebook

    Highest LAN party? Are they kidding? There is no way they could possibly hold a candle to how high some of the people were at LAN parties in the 90s... Woops...

    Detached Retina Linked To Over-Texting In The Dark

    I know how this really happened. He was "texting" on his phone in the dark and then something shot him in the eye? Uh-huh... :)

    Beware when buying expensive open box video cards from newegg. Shady dealings!

    Yeah, I have had some really shady dealings with newegg lately as well. They sent me opened/used R9 290X cards instead of new. Asus cards as well. I had to threaten to charge them back through American Express before they were willing to accept a return, and then when they processed the...

    Help with looking for an IT internship as a teenager?

    The CCNA really isn't that hard. Get yourself some study guides (they can be "found" online for free if you look) and get a copy of IOU (IOS on Linux, which can also be "found" online). To be clear I am not advocating that you get brain dumps or test questions, but rather the study guide written...

    3D Realms Responds to Duke Nukem Lawsuit

    DNF was the most accurately (if not a bit ironic) titled games ever. Duke Nukem..... it took FOREVER.

    NSA Phone-Record Destruction Halt Won by Privacy Group

    Netflix Disables Chrome's Developer Console

    It's a bad idea from a slippery slope perspective, that's for sure. I can't think of a reason why off the top of my head, but surely they will do more dickheadery later down the road. Bad precedent to set.

    DRM In New Coffee Maker Will Lock Out Refill Market

    They will end up backpedaling on this pretty quickly. Pretty sure this will put Keurig out of business if they force the issue.

    [Security News] Target store hacks caused by stolen HVAC employee login credentials

    That's pretty much it in a nutshell. Everyone wants to take security seriously until it can possibly cost them $0.01 on some analyst's spreadsheet, then they channel their inner Monte Python and scream "Run away!! Run away!!".

    Here's How Target Was Breached

    I haven't read exactly what he means by Active Directory being the link, but if you're referring just to authentication then that's at least plausible. Generally speaking though you're not going to get too far in a well setup environment even if you happen to know a few valid AD passwords...

    Here's How Target Was Breached

    Well it really depends on what your definition of what the 'same network' is. You should have independent routing domains (i.e. VRF) defined for such occurrences where a firewall policy fails you, at least there isn't even a route to get there (or more likely return). I tend to agree with...

    Here's How Target Was Breached

    I'm still going with "they're a bunch of morons". There is no excuse for having your payment card information/network accessible from the HVAC controllers. It is pretty amazing they passed PCI audits.

    Yahoo Remote Command Execution Vulnerability Discovered

    Well, he doesn't live in the United Corporation of America, so I doubt they could put him in jail. But from what I have seen in the past Yahoo is good about these types of things. It was nice of him to post it as opposed to sell it to the highest bidder.

    5 Games That Could Win the Console War for the PS4

    I had a weak moment and bought a PS4. I really like it. I think I prefer PC for FPS, and games like Civilization, and XCom. I played Assassins Creed 4 on the PS4 and loved every minute of it. I think some things work really well on couch/theater seats with a gamepad. For other games a comfy...

    Another Restaurant Bans Google Glass

    I'd rather have some glasshole taking random video from his glasses than the gub'mint tapping my phone calls and hovering drones in my back yard. Choose something important to get riled up about at least. The owner of this restaurant is a jackwagon and should be summarily ignored.

    No DRM in The Witcher 3

    I will be buying this game solely because of this. I may not even play it, but more developers need to stop drinking the piracy kool-aid and ruining their games with always on, online requirements.

    Canadian Government Wants To Unbundle TV Channels

    Legislation isn't the answer. Someone needs to start their own unbundled television service and people will flock to them in droves. Of course since the major carriers are ignoring net neutrality these days they will enforce data caps or whatever it takes to keep you from buying the...

    Someone Is Probably Getting Fired Over This Xbox One Video

    I don't think Microsoft can file any type of take down for this, they don't own the copyright on the video. The fact that there are unreleased products in it aren't relevant as far as I can see.
