    20 Must-Have Android Apps

    Root Explorer doesn't magically grant access to root-restricted directories. Your phone still has to be rooted. It requires the same superuser access as any other root app. If you're not rooted, Root Explorer won't even run. If you are rooted, then pretty much any file manager can access root...

(Which is funny, because five or so years ago it looked like it was Activision that was going to go that route; they...

    60 Minutes: The Mexican Mafia & BitTorrent?

    Typical of the mainstream media. They could go to the trouble of researching their stories or providing multiple viewpoints, but they know their audience. They know that the majority of their audience is ignorant about technology beyond how to use email, so they're not going to waste their money...
