You can already see the future in the likes of what's on Google Play. There are several shows that I want to watch, and don't want to have to bother with the hassle of being there right when the show airs, or have to watch commercials. So I buy the season for $25, and I can watch each...

The WiiU's biggest problem is that there's nothing next-gen about it. It doesn't even quite match up to the existing 360 and PS3. Developers are going to avoid it because it's going to be too slow compared to the new consoles from MS and Sony. The controller having a video screen is gimped by...

Rounded corners is a safety/comfort feature moreso than a design feature. No rough edges to poke yourself with. ...More fuel for Apple to continue their patent war with.

While I am all for gigabit internet, rather than creating mandates about speeds and locations, I'd rather see them make rules that enhance competition and cause providers to end up providing gigabit speeds on their own as a result of competing with other broadband providers.

I still don't really get it. When you look at the data, violent crime in the US is at the lowest rate it's ever been in the history of the country. It was actually highest around the time of the country's founding, before any of the modern media existed. So, I want to know, what is the...

bystanderJust remember, if you don't think the price is fair, you don't have to purchase it. If enough people agree with you, they will be forced to lower it. Eventually the price of most software drops in price in time. Just buy it when the price is fair to you. There is no requirement to...

People bought computers as presents, and all of the new computers come with Windows 8. They didn't switch to Windows 8 voluntarily. Anecdotally, I've also been hearing from people who did end up with a Windows 8 computer that they hate it. I haven't run into very many who like it.

Is this really about security, or making money?

warezmeWhy anyone would use an iphone for GPS is beyond sane. GPS on an iphone is a gimmick and not a very good one. I had a friend who rode with me to Albuqueque NM, to pick up a vintage auto and he insisted on using his iphone for GPS. Well in NM, because of the mountains a phone signal is...

I thought this was saying they were putting a full-fledged Android emulator into Chrome. That would have been exciting news.

The problem with Netflix, and with this service if they go forward with it, is that it will have a collection of stale content, most of which I'm not interested in watching. After a few months, I'll have gone through all of the stuff that I did want to watch, and they will not be adding more at...

belardoPS: And this is why HATING just apple over lawsuits is kind of silly... they are ALL ugly about this. Is google suing anyone yet? vigorvermin@belardoactually yes that can be patented, it's called a utility patent, which covers how certain stuff is used. We all want a patent overhaul...

back_by_demandInteresting, but can't help but wonder why MS would do this, 6 months of exclusivity before handing over the crown jewels? If it were me I would see how Windows 8 on tablets does for sales and if they fly off the shelves I would tank the Android and iOS versions. I think they are...

Why not make a deal with Google so it can take advantage of the Google maps that people already have?
