I just looked and Daniel Barenboim's Beethoven Piano Sonatas is on Google Play Music and Spotify, so yeah unless something is pretty new/indie/remixy one of the two is going to lik…

I'd say the vast majority of PC gamers right now have maybe one or two special edition physical boxes and everything else is digital in their Steam/Origin/Epic accounts. As it is r…

Exposure is key, I know I don't buy games that aren't on Steam. So many games I wouldn't know about at all if they weren't on steams recommendations page.

Telus is a phone/ISP company, they're pretty much uninvolved other then the ability to send emails from a @gmail.com address for their customers needs. Spammers are just utilizing …

Telus is a phone company. They presumably deal with text/email stuff through their phone services, and they presumably have some sort of interactions with Gmail as a result. This i…

Yeah, Pwned is fine. I mean what's a Google? That isn't a word!

You mean some sort of great leap forward produces negative results for your citizens until it's completed? I swear I heard a story similar to that in reality.

My favorite example for this is Grey Goose Vodka vs Kirkland Vodka. They are the same place, made from the same water source, just one has a fancier label and sells for 3x as much …

I think all the console makers learned a lesson from the Red Ring Of Death. No one wants to be having a massive portion of their systems become useless hunks of scrap because of po…

I've been using my $300 Acer c720p chromebook for almost 5 years. Keys are falling off, it has quite a few cracks and smudges, and the battery is less then half of what it used to …

The longer time goes on, the more you realize that what companies can get to the public in a year for $1000, takes 10 years and a multi-billion dollar contract for any government (…

Yeah it's shitty, but I mean at least they have a 100% guarantee on all online stuff where if you didn't give away your pin/password/card, and didn't make it your name/address/numb…

Nothing says that the civil disobeyer needs to go out of their way to turn themselves in to the authorities if the act of civil disobedience isn't known by the police. If I plan an…

This article really should have gone through spell check or been proofread, re: "have to say? to summarize it", "oine", "compatibel", possibly more. Still, interesting that Zen is …

If there's anything Sci-Fi has taught me, it's that sentient machines will either be our salvation or our doom, and in both of those cases, treating them like they have no rights i…

It's quite a sad day. I loved his books, and he will always be one of the greatest authors to me. Glad he's no longer suffering.
