    I also read The Hobbit to my 3 daughters when they were younger. Whenever I read to my daughters, regardless the book, I would make up different voices for each character. I will a…

    Same here. I bought a Dell Inspiron back in 2009 with Ubuntu pre-installed. I still use it to this day though it is pretty much on its last leg. I think the title is a little confu…

    Though many companies do move bad PR to private communications, in this case a private message makes sense since AT&T is asking for personal information such as the customer's phon…

    I highly doubt that these apps are generating such a significant amount of income for Apple (when taking into account their entire income from the App Store) that they would consid…

    Saying "Minecraft was rewritten" is a little misleading. The Pocket Edition was ported to Windows 10. It wasn't rewritten. Also, the main edition that one can purchase for Mac, Win…

    I thought the exact same thing. It basically looks like a tablet with really good speakers that runs "skills" as opposed to "apps." I have no doubt that Amazon will be able to sell…

    You should actually remove Wunderlist from your list since their team announced that they will no longer be working on the product. They are working on Microsoft's To-Do now.
