    ISPs Dishing Out Warnings to P2P Pirates Soon

    Yeah, this is completely crap. I already got one warning a couple of weeks ago (Comcast). It's not like I'm downloading a bunch of movies and CDs. I missed an episode of Sons of Anarchy, so I downloaded it. Honestly, I don't see how this is any different than asking to borrow a friend's VCR...

    New Mass Effect Prequel Anime Trailer Unveiled

    Kami3kThe endings are shit, and it's already been explained in detail why they are shit.Jeremy Jahns, Angry Joe Show and especially MrBtongue all made videos tearing about the ending and showed how poor it was in every way. That doesn't make them right. It only demonstrates that quite a lot of...

    New Mass Effect Prequel Anime Trailer Unveiled

    I agree with digitalwitchcraft. Even before the extended cut, I liked the endings. The extended cut only reinforced what I assumed had happened. I don't quite understand why the ME3 endings are so objectionable. I have come to the conclusion that, perhaps, many of the players aren't well...

    Newly Appointed Yahoo! CEO Confirms She's Pregnant

    This woman is probably yahoo's last, best hope for becoming a relevant search engine. She did a lot of great things at Google. It'll be really interesting to see what she does with yahoo.

    RIAA at it Again, Claims LimeWire Owes $72 Trillion

    amdwilliam1985lol, can't LimeWire just file bankruptcy and then give RIAA nothing. No, you cannot bankrupt against a civil judgement. You basically just turn the company over to the trustee in the case and walk away.

    RIAA at it Again, Claims LimeWire Owes $72 Trillion

    I would have paid money to see the judge say: Judge: After hearing the RIAAs arguments in this case, I have decided to set aside the judgement against Limewire, and I am ordering the immediate disbandment of the entity known as the RIAA as well as the disbarment of all of its lawyers.

    Is there no such thing as personal responsibility anymore?

    Infographic: The Internet is Ruining Your Brain

    Yeah, whatever. The same claim was made about television, and before that radio, and before that books. Too much of anything (money, food, water, air) is not good for you. This is pretty obvious, yet people feel compelled to regurgitate it frequently in the guise of some new study. At the...

    Report: Ashton Kutcher to Play Steve Jobs in New Movie

    Personally, I would have gone with George Clooney because he's almost as big an a-hole as Jobs.

    Verizon's Shared Data Plan Has a Usage Calculator

    They really need to get moving on this. They barely have any non-smartphones for sale anymore, so obviously most people are on smartphones. We've got 5 phones on our plan, so a shared data plan would actually allow us all to have smartphones instead of 3 only having a half-dozen phones to...

    Science and Engineering Jobs Stall in the U.S.

    This is a deceptive statistic. Since we have lost millions of jobs, and people are now permanently displaced in the work force, saying that engineering jobs hold a ~5% share of the job market and calling it flat is a lie. 5% of something that is smaller than it under to be means that...

    Government Wants a Social Media Data Mining Toolset

    You mean, they don't ALREADY have a toolset to data mine these sources? Or are they waiting for approval and then, magically, they will have a toolset developed and ready for deployment within a couple of weeks?

    Heartbeat Could Someday Be Used to Replace the Password

    I am not a big fan of biometrics as a primary means of authentication. A lot of people like the idea because these are things that are unique to you... and that's true. They are so unique, in fact, that they are not just unique to you; but they are unique to you at a particular point in time...

    Iran Has Severed External HTTPS Access

    robochumpI see Iran as a huge mess in 2012 and a major reason US moved out of Iraq (to prepare for Iran). I don't think so. If we were preparing for an offensive against Iran, wouldn't Iraq make a perfect staging ground? It would be like preparing to attack Nevada from California.
