    Xbox One, PS4 Scams Pop Up on Facebook

    The best scam of all was the one perpetrated by Sony, as a multitude of users get a new light to signal their overworked and poorly built console is DoA. Can't wait to see the faces of the ones who bought theirs for Christmas and plan to stash it until then. Don't worry, you can have your...

    'Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds' Hands-On

    Actually, "innovation" and going against the traditional formula is where the Wii titles went wrong. Sword swinging with the Wiimote? Imprecise, thanks a lot I love to flail in the living room. Ditching exploration for more linear gameplay to tell the story. How will the exciting plot...

    How New York Comic-Con Hijacked My Twitter Account

    A combination of Facebook's lousy security and another industry being taken over by advertising interests. How clueless do you have to be to think people are not going to be bothered by hijacking their social media? That doing so to REPORTERS is not going to get you good press? Take caution...

    Microsoft Sends Mixed Messages on Xbox One Kinect Privacy

    Of course it's going to spy on you. Of course they aren't going to admit it. They didn't tell you before they sold your skype info to the government either. They only need to secure the initial sale. What are you going to do if next year it updates to being always on, return it? Have fun...

    What Is Google Chromecast? (Archive)

    Seems a lot of people like to suck on Google's teat. You want one thing you can't do with Chromecast? How about use any local media? Or just use any service that isn't palling around with Google? Chromecast is pretty much limited to a handful of the most popular services that nearly any...

    Crooks Taking Advantage of US Gov't Shutdown, Obamacare

    Yeah, there's a lot of crooks taking advantage of Obamacare and the shutdown. They're called the US government.

    Sony Bravia Smart Stick is a Google TV Dongle

    Sony's always been the type to try and force things along rather than go with common market standards. Either way, there are still numerous Android MiniPCs that have functionality better than Chromecast for a slightly higher price, like $50. Like all Sony products it's overpriced for what it does.

    Why the Latest NSA Leak Is the Scariest of All

    If you thought you could send critical information across several computers for decades and no one was ever going to peek at it you're too naive to live. The very reason this country's constitution is built the way it is is because the founding fathers knew better than to trust the government...

    Sony Online Entertainment Lays Off Staff in Austin, San Diego

    "Their stocks have risen by 100% in a year." is a shortsighted answer to a long term question that neglects to mention how far their stocks dipped in order to get that sharp increase or how it was ultimately achieved. Layoffs happen, but Sony in general brought themselves into the black by...

    Wii U Price to Drop $50 in September

    It had to happen, it's just that Iwata is not going to come out and say "We will drop the price in Sept, but please buy one in June." Makes me wonder if they're getting the gamepads at a price cheap enough to sell them separately yet. And no, Nintendo will not beat the new consoles this year...

    Nintendo Announces 2DS for Playing 3DS Games in 2D

    Some people cannot even use the 3D features due to nonfunctional stereoscopic vision. Some parents were concerned about eye strain, and some just aren't interested in having to play at the "right angle". Why would they want to turn the slider down and pay extra for a function on a device they...

    Google Blocks Local Content Streaming on Chromecast

    Google never claimed to support the feature so don't expect a pat on the shoulder if you bought it. It was a modded in ability that was obviously going to be patched. Google wants to use it to sell pay services and it's own Google play content, just like Nexus. Bottom line, it's 35$, you get...

    NSA Paid Google, Microsoft, Others Millions for PRISM Aid

    Take them to court, who are you going to take to court, the entirety of Congress and the NSA? Always expecting other people to fight your battles for you. It isn't going to stop until Americans grow some spine and realize that protests are not just for people in the middle east. They aren't...

    Microsoft Reveals Full Lineup of Xbox One Titles

    I'm sure you're glad to announce the launch list since it's about the only thing you haven't managed to screw up so far Microsoft. Really hope the trolls can find reasons to complain about this too so you can rush to change it.
