kcorp2003Here' these guys do a good job explaining why things will get real bad soon http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/spectrum-crunch Not sure why you got a downvote, but I gave you a +1 for linking something relevant. As far as the fix goes, though, smaller cell towers in more locations...

Comcast is indeed using their own network to push this video streaming out, they have more localized servers at each "hub" that broadcast their IP traffic out to the local subscribers. Netflix and the like do not have local servers set up on Comcast's network, so the data counts against their...

alidani have done the math... if you aren't skimping on basic nessissities, and aren't living in the ghetto side of town, you should be lucky to have EVEN 100$ in spending money at the end of a given month you are lucky. saving up 4-500$ for many is a 5-7 month experience, IF they aren't...

digitalzom-bIran has a U.S. Drone, which they may sell to China. China is in a disagreement about tariffs (over very efficient solar technology that may solve energy problems if it's resolved), and may be in a cyber war with our government? WWIII anyone :|. Thankfully Kim Jong Il is out of the...

stm1185It would be a Democratic President signing SOPA into law, and a Democratically controlled Senate passing it. I don't see how you get to typing in all caps do not vote for Republicans when it's only through the will of the Democratic party that any such law could pass. There is 0...

BulkZerkerI'm all for this! 1mbs for $10 a month for anyone period! That's not what they are doing, though. If you have a job and take care of yourself, you're screwed. If you live life sucking at the public welfare teat, then here's another perk for you to go with your free food, housing...

edwinjrHow long it takes from 0 to 88 MPH? They will have to limit its top speed to 87MPH.

Yeah, nothing like breaking millions of consoles on a long holiday weekend when your update glitches out... GREAT PLANNING MICROSOFT!!!

"Quitster" was that actual name for it, because that's what it did for people.

McAfee Covers All Your Devices with "feces" Fixed that headline for you.

TITLE: "Symantec's Norton One Will Protect All Your Devices" Not my devices, they won't. I've already relegated Norton and McCrappy to the dustbin of IT history. Before I let Norton NEAR my hardware I'd take a hammer to my devices and set them on fire in the street just to avoid the aggravation...

distantedThe beauty of Apple marketing is that even when they repeat last year's product 'leak' story, they still get free publicity while half the Internet debates whether it's a stunt. Maybe next they'll announce that their iPad 3 prototype is trapped down a well. God I hope not, because...
