    Why Do People Buy Broken, Buggy Games?

    "Compare the game industry with the movie or music industry. Imagine if your favorite artist released an incomplete album, with half-baked ideas." the entirety of old/new music is easily accessible on the latest media like cds, mp3, whereas old games aren't nearly as simple to run for the...

    Expired Antivirus Protection Just as Bad as None

    "Expired Antivirus Protection Just as Bad as None" ... from the seller's financial perspective at least.

    Windows 10 (Finally) Gives Power to the People

    "Funny really... At first, MS "learned" their lesson with Vista, which allowed them to make Windows 7 a success. " It really scares me the way people bash Vista & praise 7, because to this day I see very very little difference between the two, after years of using both at the office. Either I'm...

    Doom Returns to its Hellish Roots at Quakecon 2014

    "and it's going to be brutal". sounds more like it's going to be a rip-off of brutal-doom: doom-1 + finishing moves, extra gore, jumping ...

    Serious Internet Explorer Flaw Affects XP, Goes Unpatched

    lot of "allegedlies" here. not everyone is the same. Some users are happy with a console/terminal experience. Users still running xp likely prefer to have more control on their system and are allegedly safer with the know-how of disabling remote user services & auto features, and using double...

    May Patch Tuesday Comes with Twist for Windows 8.1

    "Windows 8/8.1 is NOT a disaster it is in fact the best and I mean the best OS Microsoft has put out on many years" Better get the marketing dept to file that next to the "Windows xxxx just got better!" slogan that appears while installing everything since win95. They can use it for every next...

    Are Windows 8.1's Security Improvements Worth the Upgrade?

    nope. "security upgrades" are never worth upgrades. if you have specific problems, buying a new OS is no solution. This site should help guys learn more about computers but I guess it's more profitable to keep repeating the same marketing articles of companies over & over without writing...

    Happy Hour 'Virus' Makes Computer Only Look Broken

    IT in big companies usually isn't very tach saavy, more like just police to enforce the idiotic management's decisions instead of having freedom/responsibility to do something technical & productive. One guy wanted a newer comp and opened up his case to replace some jumper. Then he complained...

    Your Phone May Become Smarter Than You Soon

    Lame old marketing line. Back in the real world, the first thing a power-user wanting to maximize productivity does is to disable almost anything labled "smart" or "automatic". In my experience with Windows & MS-Office, "smart" usually means doing something unhelpful that you'll probably swear &...

    How to Upgrade PS3 Games to PS4 Versions

    I'm just baffled that this is being received positively. You could run PS1 games on PS2 at higher-res without forking out 10$. It was called backward compatibility and the games were "PS1 games". Now they're calling them "PS4 versions"??! It's a PS3 game running on a PS4, not a PS4 game, unless...
