Even young people can remember IRC, various incarnations of incompatible chat programs, My Space, and now facebook (and twitter, and four square, and pinterest). As we speak, the Chinese are working on dozens of their own intra-country versions of apps. It is logical to assume that someone...

LOL. 53 comments and no one mentions the idiot WoW players who are paying for this imaginary gold. Someone is making $700 a day off of imaginary gold, and someone else is paying it! there are a LOT of people who are completely out of touch with reality.

An IP address is not equivalent to your identity. A home address is not you. Your license plate is not you. Your home phone number is not you. In absence of some corroborating evidence to put you in the right place at the right time with these things, they cannot be construed to be you...

I wonder if it is hooked to the grate in the fireplace?

This is an extremely simplistic article. There are *many* partition/disk imaging packages available, often for free (Acronis, Paragon and Easeus come to mind, they offer old additions for free on a regular basis), and 1TB drives are now $60! You can regularly back up your entire drive to a...

good for them.

Wishful thinking on the part of FB

Yep, looks like my dorm room circa 1980

How about a $25 wall mount from monoprice, wiring through the wall to electronics? It's clean, it's tight, it's CHEAP. In any given room, there is usually a "best" spot to put the TV that is dependent on entrance/exit, seating, lighting, etc. It is not something that is going to move around...

Okay... so change the PIN from "0000", and don't give out sensitive information like CC# or SS# while talking over bluetooth.

restatement3doftedLeaving yourself less than about 8' between yourself and your TV completely defeats the purpose of having a reasonably-sized HDTV. You're wasting a huge amount of money buying a 37" or larger 1080p television and blu-ray player if you're going to sit 4' away from it. Oh man...

I did the oven reflow on my HP DV6000. About two weeks ago, screen went blank and VGA out did not work. I started searching on the internet and found thousands (literally) are having the same problem. The "heat the laptop up in a towel" and heat gun looked to iffy. So, I did a search on...

Good for Southwest. I never have understood the idea of charging a 120 pound woman an extra $50 for a checked bag that weighs 30 lbs when there are 300 pound people riding on the plane. It is time airlines charged fees that are partly based on weight (weight of passenger AND luggage), and did...

Sneak peek? Maybe for any other year. This year, you are already two weeks behind the pre-BF holiday sales. By the time your gift guide comes how, shopping will be done.
