    VentureBeat Previews Amazon's MMO

    I will never understand the appeal of storyless (questless) games like this. Why will so many people willingly wander around "gathering" rocks and twigs in a virtual world for hours/weeks/years but as soon as you ask them to go mow the lawn (a real world quest, right?) they complain? Must be...

    PC Gaming Thriving: GeForce Revenue Doubles

    This is precisely what I DID do. When I started reading about their work in automobile AI and automation I bought a bunch at around $20/share.

    HBO Slaps Takedown Demand On 13-Year-Old’s Painting That Used “Winter Is Coming”

    I live in MN. A large group of concerned citizens have contacted our State's attorney's office to bring suit against HBO / Game of Thrones. They stole our tagline. We've been using it since the first settlers came here. (n)

    Best Buy Employees Surprise Teen Who Visited Store Every Day To Play Smash Bros.

    Apple: 90% Of “Apple” Power Accessories Sold On Amazon Are Fake

    They should file a counter-suit against Apple for calling their products fake. They're not fake. They work, and probably pretty well to get Apple's attention. Now they may be building their accessories without a valid 3rd party license to do so from Apple, but their stuff isn't fake.

    iPhone 7 Plus 2,717 Foot Drop Test

    Perhaps he should check local hospitals to see if it is lodged in someone's skull. F'ing idiot.

    How To Find Out Everything Google Knows About You

    Same here. I guess my habit of only logging in when necessary and using filtering plugins (like Privacy Badger) in Firefox are working.

    Robot Tells TV Host F**k You Live On Air

    It's poor audio quality for sure, but I heard "Thank you" as well.

    Bluetooth Is The Most Annoying Automotive Feature In Existence

    I'm pretty sure the author is venting their frustration on the wrong technology. Bluetooth is not the problem for most of the problems people experience. It's the quality of and placement of the microphone and/or speaker system used, and the "soundproofness" of the interior of your car. My...

    Netflix Binging Might Be Hurting The Planet

    God this makes my head hurt. "I'm so f'ing dumb! I need the government to tell me what to do!" - what a sorry way to go through life thinking this way.

    Raising the Price of Amazon Prime Was a Great Decision

    This is the reason, plain and simple. There is still perceived value at the new price point. I tend to agree.

    Hands-On With Microsoft’s New Holographic Goggles

    I agree it still looks a bit gimmicky, but it seems Microsoft is trying to establish real-world, practical applications for the technology. That's where Google fell tremendously short in my opinion. It needs to give us a better way to do or experience something, and not just be an alternative...

    How Google Responds to US Government Requests for User Data

    Clever video, however, I'm never a fan of any "informative" presentation that caters to the lowest common denominator. Give me real details or shut up.

    Massive Music Piracy Plunge Fails to Halt Decline in Sales

    Music purchasers (like myself and many of you) are a dying bread. I still buy music, full albums/CD's, but not nearly at the frequency that I used to. Why? There's not a lot to get excited about. You have to really dig to find good music these days. The music studios aren't doing us any...

    Xbox One Pre-Order Supply Sold Out

    A quick check on the microsoft store shows they're still taking pre-orders, showing a 11/22/2013 release date, so it doesn't quite seem sold out to me.

    Apple Sued Over Mandatory Employee Bag Checks

    This. Talk to anyone who has worked loss prevention in a large retail establishment and they'll all tell you the same thing - employees are at the top of the list of thieves that they have to deal with.

    Petition To Bring Back Xbox One Policies

    Man, it seems that Sony has simply been 2 steps ahead of Microsoft during this entire nextgen reveal. They keep putting them in a defensive position. I wonder if they have a mole in Redmond. :)

    Xbox Executive: Stick With The 360

    In all fairness, he did NOT say "stick with the Xbox 360" - the interviewer did. All he said was if you have no internet connectivity we do have an alternative for you - called Xbox 360. It would very interesting to know factual numbers of how many active Xbox 360 systems are out there that...

    Nordstrom No Longer Tracking Customer Phones

    " After the story, customers contacted the company to ask questions and share feedback, according to Darrow.' Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what the customers calling in where doing - sharing feedback. Nice try.

    Beercade: The Last Barfighter

    Agreed that Arkeg is similar, but is not the same thing. The Beercade incorporates the beer and the ability to the beer directly into the game. You win, you drink. You lose, you get no beer. Could be very fun in a man cave.
