    5 Reasons Sonic Mania is a Must-Play

    I can offer my voice to support the sentiment in this piece. Best Sonic game since... well, for a VERY long time. I expected less for the price, and I was very pleasantly surprised. If you are even remotely interested in a Sonic game, buy this!

    Disney's Netflix Purge Spells Doom for Your Wallet

    Surely they don't think people are actually going to flush their money down the drain for this drivel? People will pick and choose what they most want and say screw the rest, that's just too much. It could backfire if it results in fragmentation of the audience and not enough people can talk...

    Leaked iPhone Files App Could Solve a Big Problem

    It's about damn time. Maybe this means my poor family members are one step closer to being able to drop iTunes, too, if they're actually adding access to the filesystem.

    Far Cry 5 Takes Aim at American Cults and Militias

    If the determination that leads to the formation of citizen groups dedicated to their own self defense ever leaves us, we will be worse off. All that will be left are the helpless and hapless, and those who don't believe that their lives or their lifeways are worthy of defense. When you see a...

    Microsoft Surface Phone Rumors: What You Can Expect

    This is just the press trying to generate clicks. Microsoft won't release another phone for at least a few years. The market isn't any different, the competition is better than ever, and nothing has changed materially about the device they could bring to market, in particular the app side of...

    Microsoft Tips Surface Phone Strategy

    The Surface Phone (or whatever it will be) isn't even on the horizon yet. The phone market hasn't changed enough yet, and Microsoft is still evolving and developing Windows 10. They'll keep developing and improving the experience via tablets, and working towards a more full experience before...

    Apple's iPhones Could Be Banned from US (Report)

    I don't know about a ban, but Apple needs to live up to its commitments. Complaining about "fair" pricing makes them look hypocritical at best, and like whiny millennial children at worst.

    Watch: Galaxy S8 Is More Breakable Than S7

    In other news, investigators have concluded that large weighted slabs of very thin glass crack when hitting things, and curved edges make things worse. Your WDUH7 local news station has the story at 11, including interviews with the crazy idiots that carry large weighted slabs of very thin...

    Leaked iPhone 8 Outsexes Galaxy S8

    I think the title is complete hyperbole. The S8 is definitely more attractive, especially with that camera bump there. And dear God, I hope Apple doesn't go with that gaudy stainless band around the outside. That is freaking hideous. It's just as bad as what Samsung did with the S5. Not...

    How Big Is the Galaxy S8's Screen, Really?

    Why go with the funky aspect ratio? Just put the tiny bezels on a 16:9 screen and be done. That's where the magic is coming from, not the stupid aspect ratio.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Game Makes Movie Look Bad

    Wow... I guess everyone has different opinions about the quality of films. I thought most of the recent comic book films were garbage, but really enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy. The absurdity and irreverence are a commentary on comic book tropes in general - it's inherently self-mocking...

    Roaches Love PS4s: How to Keep Them Out

    Clean your damn house. If there are roaches in your PS4, there are probably roaches in your PC, under your fridge, and everywhere else - this isn't a PS4 problem, this is a Momma-always-did-my-cleaning-for-me problem.

    Bixby Is Nothing Like Siri, and That's Good

    Will we be seeing Bixby roll out to other recent Samsung phones like the GS7?

    Gizmodo Is Wrong: You Do Need Antivirus Software

    And the evidence that antivirus by its very nature cannot protect against zero-day threats? And the incontrovertible evidence that the deep hooks put into any OS by AV software presents increased and significant attack surface that directly leads to compromised systems? This isn't a black and...

    What WikiLeaks CIA Hack Means for You and Your Gadgets

    @ArthurDentTheThird - don't give them the credit. There hasn't been any important reporting or real journalism taking place in establishment-controlled outlets for years. With an article-lead like that, this qualifies as propaganda and damage control.
