    World of Warcraft: Legion Cinematic Trailer

    Yes they update the graphics a bit here and there each time. However there is still so much legacy code in the game that can't keep track of it's just out of control. There's a reason they can't make the backpack have more slots for example, because it's hard-coded in so many places they've...

    TrueCrypt no longer supported?

    That's over 95% of it. That and people/companies are typically dumb enough to have the keyfiles locally as well (if they even use them).

    TrueCrypt no longer supported?

    I'd consider them unsafe anyway if you're really that worried. I work for a company that recovers data on a large scale, and it's pretty rare we can't crack a truecrypt volume (and we don't have the NSA's budget lol). No encryption is "unhackable", it'll just slow down someone with the means...

    Monitors with DisplayPort 1.2 for Surface Pro 2

    I can confirm that the daisy-chaining in fact does NOT work with the Surface Pro 2. I just spent over an hour messing with it and it was a no-go. Near as I can tell, the 1st monitor just never sees it even being plugged in. In fact an hdmi-usb dongle will work as a 2nd monitor, but it's a bit...

    Monitors with DisplayPort 1.2 for Surface Pro 2

    I actually bought a couple of these Dell's yesterday for my rMBP. They're gorgeous thus far. Since my mac has 2 t-bolt ports I didn't daisy chain them. However I started thinking about trying to attach both to my surface pro 2 this morning (and ironically just stumbled into this thread). I'll...

    Target Data Breach Now At 70M

    Not keeping my Credit/Debit Card information would be a good start. There's no reason they need to perpetually store that in a database. (Target red card notwithstanding, but that can probably be argued as well)

    Data Broker Giants Hacked by ID Thieves

    Working for one of these companies, security is a f'in joke to put it mildly. I've ranted to management about how inadequate it is, but it wasn't "cost effective" to correct it.:rolleyes: I wonder if it is now? Sadly I think the majority of companies think this way.

    iPhone 5S with new 64-bit A7 processor and M7 co-processor

    NSA to Cut System Administrators by 90 Percent

    More likely they were 90% overstaffed. Also a background check will in no way predict someone will decide to do what snowden did.

    How to get rid of Metro in Windows 8.1

    Yea that's Apple that says that lol. if people don't like it, just don't use it simple as that. I don't mind metro on a touch screen. But my desktops are Win7/Linux/OSX (yea I have a few), and in my opinion metro just doesn't belong on there for me (yet). People get way too worked up over...

    Microsoft's CEO Outlines Reorganization Plan

    Sadly that's pretty much how it's been run since Gates left. This overall looks like a good move for them, but like most think, with Ballmer still in charge it may not matter much.

    Microsoft is retiring the TechNet Subscription service

    Linux. Seriously (sorta). One of the reasons MS got so big is because windows was so readily available to people in the IT industry to learn/use. Even with the "abuse" people were still learning/using it, and when it comes time to buy something in the enterprise, the IT folks will want what...

    Today Is The Last Day For $40 Windows 8

    I read somewhere (can't remember if it was here or elsewhere) that Windows "Blue" will be out this summer. Not sure if that's 9 or 8.1 or what, but it's apparently coming.

    Surface Pro Anticipation

    I think the point they're trying to make is they shouldn't have too. Yea people on this forum generally can (and likely will), but why should we have to when we pay that much for a device?:rolleyes:

    Microsoft Reportedly Testing Outlook App for Windows RT

    "thinking"? Have you seen Windows 8? ;) If they want the corporate world to use these at all, they need to add things like Outlook, reliable VPN clients etc.. I work in a 99% MS shop, but the vast majority of employees with tablets all have iPad's on the corp network.

    Oracle Installs Deceptive Software With Java Updates

    Java isn't the problem (at least in this article). Oracle buying up Sun and pulling this kind of crap is the issue. I don't recall Sun ever doing this when it was running things. (could be wrong though)

    Microsoft Will Update Its Windows OS Every Year

    Read the Windows EULA, you don't own it as it is. As for being scared, ehh not really. Only thing left at home that's windows is my gaming machine. And since I play games less and less, this isn't even a thought anymore. It's not like people "have" to upgrade anyway. I generally don't until...

    Can MS survive without money?

    They actually state in that report that the majority purchasers were OEMs/Retail outlets and does not reflect consumer purchases. Might want to "read" the article. ;)

    Retailers Are Monitoring Your Return Habits

    I don't remember showing my ID when I purchased it a couple weeks ago. For the return they never asked to see the card I put it on when I purchased it. They took the receipt and scanned it (barcode or something on it), and swiped my DL which gave them all the information on it. I just...

    Retailers Are Monitoring Your Return Habits

    I returned my Asus Vivotab RT over the weekend, and Best Buy wouldn't do it without a valid driver's license either. That's the first time I noticed that with them, although I don't go there much either.

    The reboots and apps opening are slightly quicker. The xbox music deal I can't tell as I can't get mine to play music anymore. It also still can't remember a wireless network that's not broadcasting it's SSID. I even did a factory reset and reapplied the patches, same issues remain. I...

    Whos buying a a W8 Tablet?

    I picked up a Vivo tab almost a week ago for $499 from Best Buy, and they bundled the keyboard dock with it. They had it listed as $599 but I got them to price match microcenter. I just looked and Microcenter is still listing them for $499 (add to your shopping cart to see it). Seems every best...
