"...fundamentally, if you take something away that a consumer has been used to without some seriously smooth handling they’re naturally going to get upset." Microsoft should've learned this from windows 8. Even if you're changing something for the better, it needs to be handled carefully.

danwat1234I don't get why they had to stop playing, the field was still lit up fine. Maybe it was because sponsor banner ad screens were off or something. They stopped playing because they didn't have a working scoreboard.

I wish Jane hadn't explicitly pointed out that POS stood for Point of Sale.

chavo12345Decline of music genre my ass! They milked the shit out of that game! No kidding. 2009 had... 4 GH titles? It was a quirky but fun game from 2005-2008, and then Activision went apeshit with it. At this point, I'm glad to see the series put to rest. It was becoming as awkward and...

It's actually quite easy to fault the driver for this. When visibility is low, drive slower so you have more time to react. It's called "driving too fast for conditions."

Ragnar-KonI'm off by an entire year. Oh well. Wonder what makes the edit button appear sometimes but not all the time. Tom's Hardware has edit functionality. Tom's Guide does not.

VioMeTriXok moron as a systems developer im gonna ............... 1) While XP mode benefits from Win7's memory management, the overhead of a host OS + guest OS is undeniably more than just a host OS. This could require a company to upgrade hundreds of systems just to handle both OSEs, and in...

I hope Microsoft doesn't win the 'war' simply because the toll it's taking on PC gaming is painful. Instead of getting PC games on the PC, we get X360 games that were ported to the PC. These ports are typically marred with problems such as no modding/customizing, locked-down game options (I.E...

For those who are curious, the URL in question here is symbolics.com It's kind of underwhelming to look at now, unfortunately.

"...these apps rack in a large amount of revenue." I see what you did there.

I like how Cook talks it up like this is the only tablet computer to have ever existed. I am not so sure how well a tablet PC is going to work for a consumer, though. Where I work, we use tablet PCs in a warehouse environment for the forklift drivers. All they have to do is scan bar codes and...

MW2 wasn't boycotted because of its DRM, it was because the PC version is just a lazily and poorly done Xbox port. They didn't even bother to include dedicated servers and instead resorted to P2P - a technology that has been out of date in the PC gaming world since the early 90s - because...
