Are they working to add Street View in order to compete with Google Maps? I mostly relied on Navigon for directions but would run Google Maps for street view information. That makes not only identifying your destination quicker but you can check for parking options too.

You appreciate quickly the reversible connection and never look for the correct way to insert the plug.

Human error is the most common cause of accidents and we have a big problem of distracted drivers today. If they made air bags mandatory, then they should at least have auto-braking mandatory. It would alleviate most fender benders,collisions, injuries, and tragic deaths. We can all believe we...

I don't know how anyone can make a negative comment without reading and analyzing the 300 plus pages of the regulation. Big companies such as Google and others pushed for this bill and probably made some good contributions to someones future election. Today big money buys elections and thus...

What if we are faithfully paying our monthly dues on a two-year contract, can we now put a sim card from another carrier while we temporarily visit a foreign country? If we pay our monthly contract on time then we should be able to change our service whenever the needs arise as long as we keep...

The problem is not that we should care, the problem is that we are powerless to stop the wealthy companies from buying elections and placing their lobbyists to chair on their regulation committees. This will never change because the supreme court allowed unlimited money to flow from companies...

We already started to loose freedom of the press and have completely lost fairness in elections from recent events. First and foremost is when corporations could donate unlimited funds to any candidate, and now wealthy individuals can donate unlimited funds to any candidate. When was the last...

Tom Wheeler is Chairman of the FCC, a position that is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

It is so easy nowadays to buy a Republican and a little harder to buy a Democrat to out-right reject the proposals. If you don't pay enough, Democrats will just reword the legislation so it has no bite or effect. They will just promise that everything will be alright.

If it wasn't for organized crime that require secrecy in their money laundering schemes, then probably Bitcoin mining wouldn't be as popular today and it would be considered a total scam. Bitcoin mining is a way to mathematically create a unique security token that can hide the transaction from...

Didn't Netflix just recently raise their prices by $2 per month for new users and is expected to do the same for their existing customers in two years? Didn't Amazon just recently raise their Prime membership by $20 per year for all users? I guess they have the money now to pay the ransoms the...

Competition is always good for the consumer market. Next we will see Google add Android games to their next TV gadget and Samsung may follow the trend. Just because Ferrari and Lamborghini costs more than a Corvette doesn't mean it makes sense to trash talk the expensive cars when new models...

To rwinches I think the price before taxes is even more appealing than what you calculated. Let's see ($150 + ($40,$40,$40,$40 + $20,$20,$20 + $10,$10,$10)) = $400 x 12 = $4800 before tax per year.

I haven't checked any statistics or even any surveys on the matter so this will be my opinion only. The most obvious reason was that the multi core processors became good enough for the common user. Most users that I come across do not know how to backup their computers or install Windows. These...
