    Why Striking Down Aereo Was The Right Decision

This is something an individual can easily setup using a computer and TV tuner card, aereo just provided convenience of not having to maintain your own setup. Glad to see...

    Browser Plugin Secretly Mines Bitcoins at Your Expense

    I have always thought it would be interesting if there was an alternative to bitcoin that come out which was based upon doing actual good.

    How to Access CBS On Time Warner Cable Using a Proxy Service

    Shame on both of these companies, while they are busy acting like little children the customers of both parties are the ones who actually suffer. I wish there was another option for broadband in my area, would drop them in a heartbeat.

    Carmack: 3DS, NGP: Last Dedicated Handhelds

Like basically, the phone is the screen and hardware, then there is a clamshell case or something that has the joysticks and buttons on it (imagine being able to pop the...

    FCC Allowing Hollywood to Disable Analog Output

    It amazes me that the MPAA continues to exist when they continually use asinine tactics like this. They fail horribly and only serve to disrupt legit users. If anything the MPAA makes piracy more appealing. Remind me the last time someone who downloaded a movie had to sit through all of the...
