    Stop, Thief! Why Using an Ad Blocker Is Stealing

    I'm (kinda) sorry but, no. All the sudden I need an F-No key on my keyboard. F-No. The top rated comment is top rated for a reason; it reflects a lot of what we're all thinking. I'd go further to point out your swinging-for-the-fenses approach with this article. This is the Mike Tyson of Op-eds...

    Zuckerberg Reveals Why He Didn't Build a Facebook Phone

    Unfortunately basing your sales pitch on security and privacy in the mobile segment doesn't really capture users or shareholders. If it did we'd all look at RIM a little more than we do. Probably wouldn't go that way but as it is, a blackberry is still little more than a joke in most minds. The...

    Deus Ex: Director's Cut Only for Wii U, Boss Battles Fixed

    I actually didn't kill Gunther Herman and Walton Simons. Just take out their arms and widdle them down with a baton until you can tranq them. Just for challenge. I've had this game from Steam durring one of its $4.99 sales. Still haven't sat down to play it yet. Hope the boss battles won't be...

    Court Rules Against Netflix in Netflix-GameFly Postal Dispute

    Why? And put what in its place? I know it's showing age but we need a solution that would still fit the times for everyone.

    Metallica's Ulrich and Napster's Parker No Longer at Odds

    I... i forgive him. I guess. But some trully crappy music came from that band right after the whole debate started. Were those drums or garbage cans, Lars?

    17 Retro Games You Can Run on Modern PCs

    What?!? No Corncob 3D? And I'm not sure anyone's mentioned Raptor yet. Jetfighter 2? I remember a trick with JF2 where if you landed on the aircraft carrier, hook down, and full afterburner you'd go all the way off the other end of the carrier before stopping. But pull the hook up after you go...

    Kim Dotcom Announces Megaupload Successor: Mega

    Megashares? Seriously? That place has been in a steady decline for some time now. It was great two years ago but those people can't get their act together.

    Dotcom: Code for New Megaupload is 90% Complete

    You'd think if he were to change any name... it'd be his first name. Maybe that's just americanized thinking but I can still count the number of guys I even know of with the first name 'Kim' on a single hand.

    Julian Assange Granted Political Asylum by Ecuador

    This guy is so much fun. I hope he somehow stays free just cuz you know once the U.S. gets a hold of hizass it's all over. So here's to him somehow slipping out of that embassy and out of country in the middle of the night.

    Leak: Mass Effect 3 Earth DLC New N7 Classes

    captainnemojrAll these multiplayer DLC packs, I'm ready for some single player DLC.+1 big time. Time to get Carie Anne Moss back in the sound booth and get rolling on a DLC to take back Omega. That and it better parallel Lair of the Shadow Broker in quality.

    Mozilla Cuts Thunderbird Mail Client Development

    QEFXAwww that just sucks, TBird is just so simple, fast and it always works. It's a shame there will be no more development, but it really doesn't need any more work. Precisely. So they didn't meet their needs in making it this social hub client... whatever. It did meet our needs. I need a mail...

    Ouya is a $99 Hackable Android Game Console

    We certainly don't need another underpowered console in the gaming ecosphere... but I understand their reasoning for it. Hoping dasper is right. If this can respectably run XBMC that would help get it in more people's hands. We probably don't need another media extender, either, but it would be...

    Sony FCC Filings Shows PS3 'Super Slim' Might Be Coming

    spectrewindNot sure why you were given neg responses. I think you are spot on with this. With the PS3 taking a form that more resembles a laptop computer with the lid shut, the inverter design would logically follow. Haters gotta hate? Usually my longer posts get negged. hairystuff elaborated...

    Cisco Apologizes For Weird Linksys TOS Agreement

    This cloud thing is getting a little out of hand. Cloud to manage your router? I never even used one of the Linksys pack-in CDs but I was always glad they were there for other people... less voice mail for me. But now we turn Cloud services to for easy setup. So what happens when one of these...

    Sony FCC Filings Shows PS3 'Super Slim' Might Be Coming

    Get the power supply out of the main housing... that'd help.
