    TWC Ups Austin Broadband Speeds as Google Fiber Looms

    Nashville is on Google's newest list of prospective expansion cities; even if we do make the cut and my particular "fiberhood" doesn't get enough people to light it up right away during the buildout, maybe it'll light a huge fire under Comcast to give my better service and prices.

    Microsoft Stock Downgraded by Analysts

    OK, we get that you really, really HATE Win8, but not everyone does. Could MS improve it? Sure. Under the hood, where it counts, is it all bad? No. Get over yourself, you sanctimonious douchebag.

    Western Digital My Net N900 HD

    I won't buy a router that's not DDWRT-capable and haven't in years. I know that takes some worthy contenders out of the field, but most factory firmwares suck ass; few manufacturers put decent GUIs on their routers with good configurability (Linksys used to be an exception to this, but I don't...

    Why We Need Software Patents

    No, they have trademarks and trade dress/trade secret protections; that can get just as nasty.

    USPS Bans Overseas Shipments Of Tablets, Smartphones

    Nothing's wrong with reusing boxes (and packing materials, like air bags and foam), as long as it's in good condition and previous shipping labels/marks are obscured. Why waste something that's perfectly functional and that can be reused?

    AMD Named to Top 20 of Clean Capitalism Ranking

    I buy AMD/ATI and have since the Slot A Athlon and Radeon 7000; as long as they have products with good performance that I can work with at a good price, I'll continue to buy from them. Everything else is just gravy.

    Consoles Became "Lead Platform" Late in BF3 Development

    I sure as hell didn't like EA's decision to go Origin-exclusive for BF3, because I like managing my games with Steam. However, after playing the open beta, there were just more pros than cons for me in putting up with Origin to be able to play the game. That's not to say that Origin, as it...

    A Will For Your Online Assets and Passwords

    While they rifle through all of your financial accounts, sell your identity, and leave you ruined? Thanks, PassMyWill, but no thanks. As for anyone who goes for this, I can only think of what Otter told Flounder after they trashed Flounder's brother's Lincoln in Animal House: "You f**ked...

    Man Fired from Starbucks after Musical YouTube Rant

    Most constitutional protections (such as the Bill of Rights) only apply to governmental actions against citizens, not to actions by private persons and companies against other private parties. Other laws (contract, labor, etc.) may give some protections in some circumstances AFAIK, but barring...

    Apple Moves Against Knockoffs in New York

    If those accessories infringe on Apple's trademarks, patents, or trade dress, I agree that Apple is in the clear going after these folks on this part of it. If not, sounds like BS to me.

    Fox to Revamp Acclaimed Science Series ‘Cosmos’

    Fox Television (Bones, Family Guy, etc.) =/= Fox News. Murdoch may lord over all of it, but they are two distinct business units. Granted, Fox wouldn't be my favorite network to revive Cosmos (and Seth McFarlane wouldn't be my first choice to produce it), but so long as they keep it straight...

    Why I am Dumping Firefox

    Sorry, I meant "low-end" as in a laptop that's either ancient, cheap (1 GB of RAM nowadays? C'mon, spring for a little more RAM there!), or both of the above.

    Why I am Dumping Firefox

    My guess is that, judging by the Synaptics software process running in the task manager, the "article"'s author did this on a low-end laptop or a netbook. With that, I'll take any tech insight they give with a trainload of salt...

    Google May Face Antitrust Probes in Ohio, Wisconsin

    This is a political move, nothing more, and has little or nothing to do with the public interest. Ohio and Wisconsin are both governed by GOP governors and majority-GOP legislatures and Google is seen to be uber-liberal by those on the far right, people who never saw a corporation they didn't...

    How Crytek Doomed Crysis 2 For the PC

    Someone back in the original Crysis 2 thread (I thought it was you) said something that I thought is spot on: If you have to edit a text file or use console commands to adjust basic game settings, the game is broken.
