    Why the Wii U is the Best Console You Can Buy

    Funny how the link right below this article was Most Anticipated Games of 2015 and the WiiU had 1 title on the list. I had the WiiU for about 6 months and ended up selling it because there just weren't any new games coming out that I cared to play. It's been out more than 2 years now and STILL...

    Confirmed: Subsidized Xbox 360 Bundle + Monthly Fee

    blazorthonAhh yes, people definitely go into financial trouble from $14.95 a month. Very hard to pay such expensive rates like on the house and car. That's exactly the thought process I'm talking about. Just $14.95 a month. And that necklace they have to have now is just $20 a month. Then "oh...

    Apple Files Claim for iPhone 5 Domain Name

    I would imagine they just got the domain name to profit off of when the iPhone 5 came out. That being said, good for them. Apple, just pay them off rather than creating more negative publicity. Or, better yet, create some positive publicity by offering the owner(s) a brand new shiny iphone5 a...

    Judge: Clicking 'Like' on Facebook Is Not Protected Speech

    tk1138you are a fool...so by your logic, if a employee for some star trek movie decides to like a star wars (star treks competition) page or movie, then that employee should be fired....imagine you are working on the new avengers movie, but they find out you were going to the theater to see...

    Confirmed: Subsidized Xbox 360 Bundle + Monthly Fee

    blazorthonBeyond that, not everyone wants to throw over $400 money into one thing all at once. Some people would want to spread the cost around one or two years, or else they might have to save up until they can spend that much at once and still have enough money left over for an emergency. If I...

    Average HDTV Today Made to Last Only a Few Years

    I definitely would agree they "don't make stuff like they used to". But at the same time I don't know that I believe things are designed to break either. I just think we've moved from a society that values craftsmanship and quality to a society of cheap and disposable. These companies are just...

    CA Donor Registry Sees 5000% Boost Thanks to Facebook

    Are you not asked in every state when you get/renew your driver's license if you want to be a donor? That's great to see such a huge surge but at the same time sad to see that many people weren't donors until it was the "cool" thing to do on Facebook. For those of you who say you're not donors...

    The Hobbit Shot at 48fps Instead of 24fps, Mixed Reactions

    I'm one of the apparently few here that dislike the higher speed. Maybe there is a difference between frame rate and refresh rate, but I HATE watching movies on the newer TVs at the faster refresh rate. And for me it's not something I'll just get used to. I have a friend with one of these TVs...

    Man Will Change Name Legally for Apple WWDC 2012 Ticket

    My guess is this guy is doing something outrageous so he can get his name out in the hopes that someone at Apple will see this and give him free access so they can create even more media buzz. It's nothing that hasn't been done before. Besides, even if he does change his name, he can go back and...

    Best Buy Announces Plans to Close 50 U.S. Stores

    Yes, a lot of their stuff is overpriced, but if you catch some of their sale items you can get some good deals there. I've actually bought the last 6 laptops for my company at Best Buy. The same model at Newegg would have cost me about $200 more.

    Apple Settles with iPhone 4 Users Over Antennagate for $15

    omega21xxOk, so you could have sold your iPhone and still get the $15... what's to stop (say me) from cashing in on the $15 when I've never bought one? Not sure they'd be able to tell if I owned one or not, if they could, I'd say Apple has their noses where they shouldn't be. you have to put in...

    Rumor: Next PlayStation Called Orbis, Out in 4Q13?

    This is the part I found most interesting. Sony already has a 4k projector and we're starting to see some 4k TVs pop up. The PS3 basically paved the way for mainstream blu-ray; will the Orbis do the same for a new 4K format or at least bring BDXL to the forefront?

    Microsoft Patents DVR for Game Consoles

    I have enough devices that play/record TV, play blu-ray, browse the internet, etc..... I really wish the console makers would just focus on a machine for PLAYING GAMES! Am I alone on this?

    Acer Iconia Tab A501: Is it Worth 3X the Kindle Fire?

    I quit reading after these two statements: "I am conservative with my money. I don’t like experiments and I rarely spend money on things I don’t need." "We currently have five $200-or-so tablets in our household. All of them are used by our kids but only for games."
