    Microsoft and Time Warner Cable Announce Xbox 360 Deal

    So instead of watching Time Warner on your TV like normal, you can buy an Xbox and consume your internet bandwidth to watch it. Brilliant.

    Google Testing Packaged Version of Chrome Remote Desktop

    Nice. Now when I hit the button on my mouse that's mapped to the "go back" function, it will go back on the remotely controlled machine, rather than my local browser, which closes the remote connection >.< Can't count the number of times I've done that...

    Senate Accuses Apple of Not Paying Billions in Taxes

    US taxes global income, not just US income. Moving money to other countries to hide from the IRS is tax dodging, plain and simple.

    Google Demands Removal of Windows Phone YouTube App

    MS violated the YouTube API Terms and Conditions. Google would be foolish to do nothing about it, and they have legal grounds to do what they've done.

    Wash. Attorney General Exposes T-Mobile's Un-Carrier Claims

    How dare T-Mobile disallow you from purchasing a phone for the price of a single month of service! Seriously people, there is plenty of option for a non-contract plan. I don't understand how people expect a free smartphone to go along with that. You have the option to buy a phone outright or to...

    Oracle Appeals Against Google's Android Ruling

    Everyone hates on Java, but doesn't consider what would happen without it. Without it, your Android apps would likely have to be tweaked for each model of phone by the developer. No dev wants to do that, so you're severely limited in your app choices. Java allows each phone to run apps under the...

    Facebook Responds to Viral 'Copyright' Status Update

    internetladIf you find somebody who will buy the rights to my status about what I ate last night, I'll gladly sell it. No need, facebook already owns the rights to that status update, and every other update and photo you post. Yes, they can sell your uploaded pictures to whomever they want (read...

    Report: Chrome App Steals Identities, Then Creates Blogs

    eddieroolzGoogle seriously needs to tackle the security breaches on their platform. Not sure if trolling or just stupid. This is not a security hole in Chrome, it's a malicious app that people are downloading. If Google were to audit these apps, it would become like Apple and its iStuff, which...

    Uniloc Founder Responds to Patent Troll Accusations

    For the grammar discussion... "its" is always possessive, and never a contraction of "it is", which must always have the apostrophe. Don't worry about getting confused over English though, it's not easy to memorize all of its rules (a keen observer will note examples in that last sentence)

    Microsoft Developing One-Hand Texting in WP8?

    greghomeI have been typing with just 1 thumb on my Android for a whole year now....... This. It isn't that hard, people. Still, I have nothing against a keyboard layout that makes it easier... I just don't get why it's a huge deal... Everyone I know with an Android routinely texts single-handedly.

    New Jersey University to Give Every Freshman a Lumia 900

    theFatHobbitWhen i was at university all i got at enrollment was a disposable camera and a packet of condoms. More than I got. All they gave me was a bill. When I tried to graduate, they "modified graduation requirements" and forced me to take another class. Yes, I did try to enforce the...

    Come on, Tom's... the creators already said the video was a fake... just watch their "making of" video.

    Man Suing Google to Undo Google Trademark

    tomrippity02How so? I don't agree with this lawsuit, but I don't see how those two terms are part of the English vernacular when you aren't really referring to those specific pieces of technology. The phrase "google it" has essentially replaces the word "search" in our language. Even though...
