Yes, the entire "Windows Update System" is seriously borked. It now takes 5-12 hours for each of my Win 7 and Win 8.1 workstations to complete the "Checking for Updates" task. Really pathetic.

I like how for the last few months, it takes hours to check for and install updates for my Win 7 box. The whole update process just keeps getting worse.

I have an older car, which I love and intend to keep as long as it runs. No Bluetooth, USB, etc., but I can access the CD changer with a 3.5 mm jack. I do on occasion listen to music off my phone via this route. Very convenient. I know I'm not the target market for Apple, but I know several...

I can hardly wait until they find the black and white filter!

The video autoplay is in settings and can be disabled.

So I'm the only one whose car doesn't have Bluetooth? I do occasionally listen to music through my car's sound system by connecting the phone with the earphone jack. Guess in the near future I'll only be using my digital audio player.

Doubters can read the article: Giant octopus kite at Marina Barrage makes waves online It took six people to get it airborne. There's a pretty neat photo of it from above too.

Great... sounds like we now get artisanal graphics cards to go with our artisanal toast.

Brilliant!

Another brilliant proposal by Jackie. I live in her district, and while I have tons of respect for her (she was shot at Jonestown while an aide to Ryan), she's infamous for coming up with ridiculous bills. I can go downtown and get a complete fake ID package in about 10 minutes that will...

For those of you who still have Flash installed (which I am assuming is pretty much none of you) .... FIFY

I'd never heard of it either. Maybe that was part of the problem?

Egads... even I understand that one. Pretty sad.

Looks better than Ubuntu/Unity.

For some reason, when she inserted the drum, I thought of 'Dick in a Box.'

Other than being electric, it's a stupid comparison. A better comparison would be to the BMW i8. Haven't driven one, but plenty around where I live; it's a great looking car.

Please be a good game... please.

Sorry, I don't get this. I've never used my real name/info on Facebook.

Hilarious that a "Tech" site still requires Flash!

I order with Prime 2-3 per week, and hate going to the market, so I signed up for the trial. I could never complete my typical shopping list to avoid a trip to the market, so I never used it I completely forgot about it, then got the bill for $299. Yikes! Fortunately it was easy enough to...

Typical mammal... too curious for its on good. Great video.

Since I've never been happy with any Samsung product I've purchased, no, if it's just Samsung I won't be buying it. I am looking forward to UHD Blu-ray. Love my Sony 4K TV.

Warthog FTW

Like others, no NoScript, Adblock Plus, Ghostery, etc., no Firefox for me.

Did he really say 'nucular?'

Thanks for posting that. Really amazing. After watching the slo-mo for awhile, you check and see that only 2 seconds have elapsed in real time! Then at the very end you see one of them running in real time. Incredible.

Packer!

Interested, but no way would I pre-order that. I'll wait for reviews. Hope it's good.

Because everyone knows the interwebs is forever!

I voted other. Don't have a smartphone. :)

No lie - I lost someone in my group doing analytical chemistry in the Bay Area to go work in Apple's battery development department. She was great. We're a small biotech company, so we weren't going to be able to counter-match Apple's offer. Good for her, sucks for us.

He's got a 'real purty mouth.' Have fun and enjoy your stay, douche.

Does this mean I'll gain or lose 1 second of sleep?

Maybe he didn't know his webcam was on. :)

... and Webroot reports that site as suspicious and unsafe. So I'll pass. :)

Wow. Edgy.

Wait... this is real? I thought it was joke, a la Conan.

And I'm just sitting here with my Linux workstation wondering why my USB mouse isn't detected 90% at boot, and why Samba is borked more than ever before. It's so secure, not even I can connect to it!

Yes. If Apple knows anything, they know their legions of customers.
