I love most of the interface. There's still a few bugs that haven't been addressed, but it's 95% solidly done. The telemetry capture is a huge issue for me and also no longer relea…

Just booted it. The EULA is frightening to say the least. 1. "You agree that you irrevocably waive any and all ownership, legal and moral rights to your user content." 2. You're al…

I've never understood that about deducting charitable donations. I've always had the principle that I shouldn't be getting anything for my charity. Otherwise, it wouldn't really be…

Played it for the first time at a Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. It's everything I had heard and it is offensive . It's also an absolute blast to play with the right people.

I think you're proving his point though. If they were that powerful, they'd just hit the "Turn off Daesh and Al Qaeda" switches at the controls, wouldn't you think? It isn't as sim…

Fire Stick ($39) will do ALL of that except for 4k. We haven't used anything in the house except Netflix and Kodi for a year. It's a wonderful little stick. Too bad Amazon had to b…

What do you mean? Are you referring to playing stuff off of a NAS? Our two Fire Sticks play of our NAS just fine. We even push video downloads in Kodi back to the NAS no problem. I…

Are you authenticating by using the Wifi and Bluetooth addresses for input? What would stop someone from spoofing the known devices if so? Just wondering about the setup.

So....it's basically a technology that duplicates the retinal projection in Star Trek TNG's "The Game"? Interesting if it works that well. I could see people using this far more th…

Vaping was the only way that worked for me. I smoked cigarettes for 20 years and tried patches, nicotine gum, lozenges, and medications. Vaping did it. I worked my way down from 24…

Exactly. Uber has a whole bunch of people literally climbing over each over to put themselves out of business. I'm not sure what the solution is with this whole mess though.

Exactly. The moment I get a cold contact like this, I'll put your business on the "Never use them for any reason" list. After I send them an email explaining why.

I'm gonna place my bet that the entire app thing is a hoax. Perhaps, it's going to end up as some type of documentary about privacy?

So, just immediately publish my research next time instead? Got it.

>Please use Google Chrome:) No, because I don't normally use that browser. So, I guess the user doesn't get to know why, will just ignore the site and move on to something else. I …

Ohhh. I like that idea. I'm going to start doing that.

Ha. This took me back to being 8 years old again. My mom loved/hated the fact that her kids had graph paper ALL OVER the house because we were building sprites for games on the C64…

In 6th grade (1986), my Georgia school was terribly poor and outdated. The newest book on space had a sentence I will never forget as long as I live: "If we ever land on the moon, …

That was a really good article and explained a lot of things I hadn't considered about the whole "servant economy" problem. You hear a lot of fans gushing that Uber-type companies …

You want a realistic answer? "Finders keepers. We made it." Now, I do agree that it's a massive chunk and it could be better used given up to the rest of the internet, but honestly…

Unfortunately, it might end up being the most appropriate analogy. Hopefully, any that aren't already arrested are caught before they retaliate.

I respect this woman more every time I hear about her in the news. I'm glad to see a huge player try to stand up for others like that. It's remarkable considering she clearly under…

Wow. It's hard to make out, but that definitely looks like a plane.
