I wouldn't call this a flying car, I would call this a quadcopter with wheels. While the prospect of having less traffic jams is desirable, the odds of being T-boned from above or …

I have the same feeling using products that have "Pro", "Ultra" or something alike in their brand name. It usually means the exact opposite. Is there a dedicated name for such loom…

IMHO, it feels like just another hamfisted way to get the adoption of Windows 10 to increase. The whole point of Windows used to be that it would run on nearly every system, with m…

This feels eerily reminiscent of my own dilemma 4 years ago: The lack of direction and leadership coming from within Microsoft when it comes to building software, the willy-nilly c…

Can you turn it off? I'd imagine a big project (e.g. Linux Kernel) could start to look like a Christmas tree...

I wonder if it'd be possible to either blackhole all this nonsense, or to "quasar" their data servers with preset queries like "I like my privacy", "mind your own business" instead…

Do a Google search on "Jim Hood vs Google", see who he colluded with, and then come read your own post here again. In short: The MPAA/RIAA hates Google. To top it off, you name Chr…

Paraphrasing from one of the comments there: IMAX's legal counsel failed to see the big picture.

I'm missing a spinning skull GIF, a permanent under construction sign and blinking pink text that scrolls incessantly. GooGleoCities, perhaps?

Don't forget that Rift also seemed to support Linux, but then decided to push that to the back of their planning. So even if it's in the list of things to do, that doesn't mean it …

Is there a Ubuntu DE that implements Material Design somewhere? I'm quite fond of the style, but am not in a place where I can easily switch to Arch (from Ubuntu).

I don't think Microsoft is doing it for the Open-Source spirit, as many seem to believe. They have a long history of attacking/smearing open source and displaying a "I heart Linux"…

Managing a spreadsheet does not equal programming by a long shot, and given large enough complexity, you'll run head first into VBA macros and abominable one-liners with so much di…

How cool! It's a nice glimpse into an otherwise hidden past, something even the developers probably never thought would see the light of day again after release. I let a giggle esc…

Thanks for that! It was a nice introduction, I have a colleague who usually made my eyes glaze over when he started about FP, but now that I have seen it in an environment that I u…

Couldn't Google's Project Shield be a nice gesture here for sites that are doing 'the good thing' when they're succumbing under the (positive) attention? It's meant as a DDoS prote…

Its future offspring could be the pinnacle of AR (Augmented Reality), add data as an overlay to the existing world, but in such a way that depth and perspective is preserved. In yo…

I like the mapping ability, imagine mapping out your house and be able to use it as a level in a game, like walking on your ceiling with Oculus Rift.

Its (DK1/DK2) faithful successor would be War For The Overworld: https://wftogame.com/ . Looks quite cool and the atmosphere certainly is there, but I don't know how far the develo…

Odd, I have that same sentiment with the Dutch voiceover for DKII, seems Bullfrog really worked out the details there.

It works on WINE, but I didn't install it through WINE but through dual boot, but I can play it in Ubuntu 13.10. Just open a terminal, type "wine", hit space and drag and drop the …

While many seem to predict doom and gloom here, perhaps Google decided it rather gets an extra ally (Lenovo) that could produce Android phones and recoup some money they spent on t…

Rockstar Bidco, owned by Apple, Microsoft, Sony, Ericsson and Blackberry. They use this legal vehicle to create shell companies armed with ex-Nortel patents to attack Android manuf…

They aren't, that's the whole point of it. Increase Android's (or any other competition that isn't Apple or Windows Phone) Total Cost of Ownership, by adding layer after layer of f…

Well if you want to go down that rabbit hole, if MS is willing to do unethical advertising for its gaming console, how much of an extra effort would it be for them to pay people to…
