That might be great, but how exactly does NoScript-by-default protect people from downloads and entities that they subsequently assume are safe (i.e. on completely legitimate sites)?

One one hand... yeah, Apple Maps is an abomination. "It just works", indeed. On the other hand, shouldn't these tourists have thought that this town's (errant) existence in the middle of nowhere was a little strange? Or, when they arrive at the "destination" and see there's nothing there...

Not your right to tell me how I should and shouldn't use my hardware. I'll give it 2-4 weeks before this hack is successfully cloaked from Sony.

So 1 in 70 people who currently exist today use this service. Amazing.

Just the fact that this is necessary speaks volumes about Metro. Even on a tablet. Why does there need to be a tutorial that tells you how to close apps? Shouldn't a one-shot-deal tooltip be enough? Why is it more unintuitive than "click the X" (every sane desktop UI) or "push the button"...

Oh, that's a relief. I thought the hardware to be used in the Wii U was going to be positively ancient; now we know that the card used inside was the top solution only 4 years ago (i.e. a 4870 equivalent). At least the graphics will be actually passable this time; as you can still run quite...

(emphasis added). Yeah... you're guilty. How about actually competing for a change? It costs less in legal fees. No wonder all the other publishers are settling out of court- they know it's likely they won't win because the facts are completely against them (plus it's simply the smart thing...

"We understand that people like to dissect graphics and processing power, but the experience of playing will always be more important than raw numbers." So they still haven't learned that graphics and processing power are often necessary to provide a realistic, immersive gaming experience...

So I guess the labels of "M$" and "$ony" prove themselves true again. Because that's all it is. But for some reason I don't see this "make more money" scheme working the way everyone thinks it will. I'm calling it now: Game consoles will have very large hard drives (since they are extremely...

And as soon as our government institutions (that are actually supposed to do pro-consumer things like this) understand the fact that bandwidth costs PENNIES per GB to provide, maybe we'll see some justice on this side of the world too.

Of course... having one of these devices with a Transformers skin and, in the case of the Prime, having that particular flame pattern and Autobots logo on the front would be even cooler.

Well... I guess that's what you get for not doing proper sanity testing for calculations. Still, though, the hackers are running rampant on both versions (I see at least one a day logging on to play on PC, anyways). Fortunately, though, we have dedicated servers to play on if it gets too bad...

Why do people keep believing the lie that "bandwidth is a limited resource"? It's too bad the FCC can't get network neutrality rules onto mobile networks, but they don't seem to be interested in protecting consumers. Yes, I understand that carriers oversell their networks. But what I don't...

So Microsoft is releasing a console that will have less computing power than the original (then 13-year-old) Xbox had... and thinks that that's a viable strategy? I mean, the Wii (which has more power than this future Xbox will) is already 5 years old, and almost everyone who wants motion...

Fake settlements, fake letters, fake malware... So pay the settlement with fake cash; if these guys were even worth the postage.
