I don't think it's fair to underestimate the research and development costs to create a new product; remember that the PS3, when including R&D, cost over $900 per unit during its first year on sale. It can take a long time for those not insignificant costs to be spread out enough that the...

This has been true for a long time with ridiculously expensive watches that offer no true value over a decent high-precision $100 watch (or even a cheaper one). Idiots with too much money will always look for ways to rub people's noses in the fact that they are being paid too much money, that's...

I want mine with a self-deploying parachute please!

I really don't like the look of that graphical style for a series as serious as Game of Thrones.

FileVault 2, which is the version used on the affected OS X versions, won't prevent attackers from getting access to files as it uses full-disk encryption; so long as the system has started up the disk is effectively decrypted, at which point the root user can access any files it wishes. The...

I'd still rather they release the Master Chief Collection for PC now that it's all been ported to x86; so long as they make sure to support split-screen co-op for PCs (or PC-based consoles) with multiple controllers.

Bollocks, many major antivirus programs now have behavioural threat detection which looks for suspicious program behaviour, not simply signature. Signature-based scanning has been of dubious effectiveness for years, and while it's still a good way to efficiently block known threats, behavioural...

While I agree in theory, it's worth mentioning that encrypting e-mail server connections only matters because so much e-mail is still sent as plaintext; it doesn't necessarily protect you against malicious servers, if you want secure e-mail you need to setup and use S/MIME. It's actually fairly...

While I appreciate the effort that must have gone into something like this, I just don't see the point; everything transferred to Minecraft looks awful! It's graphics are quaint when they're limited to its basic environment or original creations made to fit that world, but when you start trying...

While I'm still undecided about the privacy issues (personally I hate that this includes a camera by default). My main issue with Glass is that it's just not a good device; the screen is tiny and awkward, the battery life is horrible and it just doesn't look comfortable to use at all. When...

I was interested in Google Glass when I thought the actually glass lenses would be the part displaying the augmented content, like it would be adding it to the world around you. As soon as I found out it's really just all in that goofy little prong on the top right, I was turned completely off...

Granted, a good heuristic system is better for detecting newer threats, signature based detection is still the best way to detect known threats as it doesn't have to occur on running software, and is less expensive on system resources.

I'm not sure the two really fulfil the same goals exactly, just like Privacy Badger and AdBlock aren't the same thing either (though AdBlock could certainly benefit from Privacy Badger style restrictions, rather than just flat blocking of all ads). Still, it's great to see someone actually...

Given the size of the iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle I can see an iWatch replacing those if the pricing is right. Personally I'm hoping the iWatch will only optionally have a strap (so you can still clip it on if you prefer), or at least can be worn on the upper arm to avoid a dangling headphone...

That's a really cool gadget, but I especially love how its slow speed is suddenly a feature! I dunno, while being able to print on the go is very novel, that seems to reduce the target market to people who print very little but want it to be really cool when they do, or those that go on business...
