    Netflix vs. Amazon Prime Instant Video: Face-Off

    A real analysis of video quality would be nice not all '1080p' is created equal and 1080p doesn't mean full resolution. Not too uncommon to crop video into a 1440x1080 stream and still try to call that HD on top of massive compression which can compromise video quality.

    Mom Arrested for Hacking School Computer, Changing Grades

    She got caught since most teacher's keep physical records and/or local copies of their own grades and the administration probably uses an entirely different system for handing out report card's as well as submission to state agencies. The 98 > 99 would have probably gone unnoticed except a...

    Verizon: U.S. Constitution Allows Data Throttling

    bigdragonSo Verizon wants the ability to violate my free speech rights. Yes, I know they're a private network and therefore those rights do not apply, but they also have taken billions of dollars in subsidies which makes them also partially a public network.

    ojasDid you know that EA has this "no one can file a class-action against us" clause too? They had this in their various EULAs before sony did, but everyone was too focused on the "origin is spyware" part of the story. Wasn't aware of this, but I take special exception to Sony since I had...

    Simplest user interface? For what? I bet most user's don't even venture into TV control's beyond the Everything Remote given to them by the cable/satellite company that turns it on and off. Wonder if it will be shiny and white.
