Many people won't trust it simply because it is Apple. BUT it does seem like Apple Pay is MUCH more secure than the traditional magnetic strips that is still widely used in the US. But exactly how secure remains to be seen. I've heard from American Express execs that said Apple is going about...

Sony tried option B with a hybrid smartphone/PS Vita-like device. Didn't work out so well. But I'll agree need to branch out their 1st party titles into the mobile smartphone market. Personally, I feel no need to buy a mobile gaming device anymore with the widespread use of tablets and...

So... in essence... the "Games for Windows LIVE Marketplace" isn't disappearing forever, it is just being pulled back to be relaunched at a later date after some improvements (and hopefully a shorter name) to compete with the likes of Origin and Steam. Whelp... good luck. Two online stores is...

Not surprised. Even with the availability of more difficult content (heroic raids, challenge modes, etc.) there seems to be fewer people willing to do that difficult content. And without people willing to do the difficult content, the glue that holds guilds together disappears. Instead most...

As a PC gamer who realizes that the majority of games are built for consoles and then later ported to PC, this is somewhat disappointing. But I'll also admit that this is a smart thing for Sony to do. Can't help but feel that I heard something very similar with PS3 though...

You know parents.... video games have ratings for a reason. Stop buying M rated games for your 12 year old and they might not ever get the dumb idea to play shoot-em-up in real life 10 years down the road.

Normally I would say rules are rules... and no matter how stupid the rules are, you should follow them or leave. But then I got to this part of the article: "Microsoft has even offered to remove all subscription options from the iOS app so that it's not generating any revenue, but Apple has...

maztyWelcome to the real world. Proving once again that being good at programming tends to negatively affect social skills... Welcome to the real world indeed. But I know many programmers that have excellent social skills. Granted... probably the only reason I know them is because they have the...

Wait wait wait.... Android doesn't have a native Facebook app already? News to me. Well... hopefully it can be removed as ddpruitt says--no one likes not having control over their phones. Anyway, my old-school flip phone and I will be under our rock if anyone needs me.

Well these comments went political rather quickly. At any rate, NASA's budget is still higher than any other space program in the world. Plus NASA has been doing manned earth orbit for quite some time now, so there is no reason for them to continue to do it. They can go back to the moon but...

I'm gonna have to give Tim Cook props on this one. Not only did he apologize, but he didn't bother sugar coating it, AND he pointed out several solutions customers can use that are honestly direct competitors with Apple. Very un-Apple like of him.

Not going to lie... didn't know this service even existed.

It'll be good for a high school student, and it'll last you 4 years. But you'll be lucky to get $400 for it after 4 years time. That said... $1200 is a lot of money to be spending as a high school student. Save it for college or a car. Trust me... I just graduated from college and wish I had...

Going to make those Apple super-fans go broke if you keep on releasing a new phone every 8 months. Not that I really mind, job security for me.

AndrewMDOk.. the elephant was not given a choice.. it was presented a Note.. BTW, I own one of these Notes and it will be going right back to the store it came from.. It seems Google still hasn't fixed a number of issues that are natural and included with Apple's product. Not to be an Apple...
