    Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich Steps Down

    I'm thinking the opposite. The more constraints on the meaning of a word, the more information is conveyed by that one word, which leads to a better understanding of what is said. Yes, the definition of the word is longer, but things are simpler when that word is used. For instance, if we go...

    Microsoft Tech Video Demo Shows Off Power of Xbox One Cloud

    I'm not tech expert, but I'm pretty sure it's FAR easier to calculate stuff happening OFF screen than on. That "demo" is far from convincing.

    Obama Proposes NSA Bulk Collection Reform, Congress Is Next Step

    Obama will definitely reform the NSA... right after he gets around to closing Gitmo. Obama's such a hypocrite. He was complaining about Bush's wiretapping under the Patriot Act, but then he goes and makes Bush look like an amateur when it comes to invading people's privacy. I bet Obama or...

    Hewlett Packard Promotes Windows 7 On New PCs

    Don't forget Windows 2000. That was a great one. I preferred that over XP. I know it spoils the pattern, but just once, and there's no down side to having 2 good versions of Windows in a row... unless Windows 8 is so bad because it has to cancel out the greatness of having 2 good Windows in a row.

    Hewlett Packard Promotes Windows 7 On New PCs

    I just installed the 8.1 patch. What a let down. MS said they put the start button back. Horray! I'll finally be able to see all my programs in a nice, compact, convenient, alphabetized list! NOT!!! All MS did was put an icon for the Start Button in the bottom left corner. Before, I had to...

    Hewlett Packard Promotes Windows 7 On New PCs

    HP actually lost a sale from me because they only offered Windows 8. I was wanting to a new desktop, but all they offered was 8. All the people who defend 8 seem to say "It's no so bad after you change it or move things around to how you like it". However, that simply translates to "W8 is...

    Poll: What is your OS of choice?

    My all time favorite is Windows 2000 for 2 reasons: 1. It has a little media preview panel when I'm looking through my video or audio files. I don't have to open media player to be reminded which song or video this one is. I just select it & press play in the side panel. 2. When I want to...

    Newest Xbox 360 Update Prevents Class Actions Suits Against Microsoft

    For some reason, I get the feeling the last TOS included you agreeing to forfeit any unused XBLGold membership if the TOS change to something you disagree with. Better get a lawyer... oh wait, a lawyer would cost you more than what you would lose in subscription fees. Maybe you could join a...

    Here's The Skinny On Microsoft's New 360 Update

    What brand memory stick? A friend of mine bought one, (PNY I think,) and he had ALL his info disappear from his stick 3 or 4 times in one month! He was just given an old launch 360 and had a bunch of updates though. Still, his profile & saves shouldn't get vaporized by any update.

    Microsoft Announces Full Slate Of Xbox 360 Video Partners

    The 360 is totally gimped as a media hub. I hope this fixes it. I'd love to be able to just look at ALL the content on a backup disc at once as opposed to viewing ONLY videos, or ONLY pics, or ONLY music, and having to back out to the main area to change media types. I hope that also means...

    How do you pronounce Vita?

    I thought it was "Veeta". That's a sign of bad marketing when people start threads to figure out how to pronounce a new product. Then again, what do you expect from a company who's PC's are called "Vaio"? Heck, first time I saw that logo on a PC with its funky font, I could only suspect it...

    Poll: Boycott Rage

    Yes, used games are KILLING the games industry. While we're at it, those evil libraries need to be dealt with too. Does anyone know just how horrible they are to both the movie and book industry? I shudder at the thought. /sarcasm Crono, that can't be said enough...

    Rage Cuts Single-Player When You Buy It Used

    Sooo.... you're saying everyone who uses a library is saying a "Fuck you" to authors and Hollywood when they get to enjoy free books and DVD's? Really??? Oh, and I guess local governments/communities are also saying a giant "Screw you!" to authors and Hollywood since they're the ones who...

    Xbox Live Achievement Points: what's your view on them?

    I don't see why game points should get you anything. The point is to get them for fun. I don't pay Achievements much attention. What makes games funner for me is to have the top 10 scores kept track of... for my console. If not scores, it's at least fun when the game tracks my stats like...
