    Apple Acquisition Could Give Next iPhone DSLR-Like Camera

    I spent four years of my life as a camera salesman, and I can tell you that DSLRs are not even slightly niche. And Samsung does make DSLRs. And really, your entire comment is just one big mess.

    Living with Windows 10: The Best and Worst So Far

    I think it's slightly unfair to say the tech preview is buggy. That should be assumed because of its title as tech preview.

    Expired Antivirus Protection Just as Bad as None

    I use Avast and Malwarebytes. Free versions of both that are perfectly functional. And these are the least resource-hungry of all the antivirus/malware solutions out there. I don't see why people use need or use anything else.
