Let's be honest: this court battle isn't about legality at all. It's about revenues. The stations who broadcast this content do so over the air for free, and Aereo has found a way to monetize that, so now they want a cut. Of course, if they don't get a cut, they'll just find a way to make a...

April 1st was Tuesday, Tom's.

Hmm.. behind a shell company, no team listed, behind a proxy domain and claiming NSA-level encryption with a NY phone number (which I'm sure no one answers, you can't leave messages and doesn't return phone calls) - sounds like a government-funded app to me.

Considering it's going to be wireless, you could feasibly just plug in the PS4 in an open area, say in the basement, and play there.I'm sure this has already sparked ideas in the minds of after-market peripheral makers who are hard at work designing a PS4 playpen of sorts.

The Galaxy watch that Samsung has integrated with their phones so that you can actually answer and talk with it intrigues me as a Dick Tracy fan, but that novelty isn't enough for me to buy one. I think Samsung's take on this is the most relevant I've seen. THAT said, I don't see this smart...

And why, exactly, is BF4 *not* competitive gaming?So, it's not EVE or WoW so it doesn't qualify? Sure, EVE is far more statistical and involved, and I'd never argue to compare the two, but that doesn't mean people aren't seriously competing and waging clan wars on BF4.Considering it's a...

That's what DLC is for. Yes, I know, people feel like publishers like devs to intentionally leave out parts so they can sell DLC later, but as we've seen with many big-name shooters, sometimes that's okay so long as what you DO include is solid. Do a few good things, do them very well and...

@bustapr Wow, if ever there was a complete lack of understanding of sarcasm, there it is.My post is what is sometimes referred to as a joke, using a form of blatant sarcasm to suggest an improbable idea.That said, I'm an EE and I work in software development, so I'm very clear on the methods and...

If I was going to hack Comixology, I wouldn't steal user info. I'd steal comics. Maybe set myself up with a life-time sub to everything from Vertigo and all the Wolverine titles.These hackers need to get their priorities straight.

I understand the sentiment that "nothing has changed" but in many ways, that's a good thing about BF. There are some welcome changes from BF3, some things that are very different and some things people have complained/suggested to DICE that they want to bring back (which actually DO get taken...

@wolley74: You should check out Samsung's plasma line-up. They still "enhance" them with each generation and make very good quality TVs (considering they make the display for most companies building LEDs, too, they clearly know what they're doing). I own a Samsung plasma about 1 year old and...
