    I like the option of selling my games and buying used games. If Microsoft makes my games less valuable to me by limiting my options then they should be cheaper. I've heard nothing …

    I'm running Win8 Pro on my laptop. The OS weighs in at about 25GB which means the rest of the bloat comes from the pre-installed apps. Can they be removed?

    I wonder why Apple took this route. When they introduced the iPod they made an agreement with Line 6 who owns the mark Pod for the guitar effects processor.

    I only have personal knowledge from black women who don't want to perm their hair anymore. It's a huge statement for them for accepting themselves as they are. They share hair styl…

    Powershell isn't a wrapper for CMD. It's a separate interface for WMI, COM and .NET.

    Blocking technology based upon the perception that it could be used illegally isn't sound reasoning especially from a company that advertises their file sharing feature as ideal.

    Reminds me of this anecdote. Your camera takes great pictures. Thank you. Your mouth gives great compliments.

    Twitter requires no ID to create an account. The account could have been Carreon in so much as Twitter knows. Even Facebook, which requires your "real name", has no idea if you are…

    Current Windows 7 phones are getting updates, 7.8. Contrast this with the original iPad which won't get ios 6 and it was released in 2010.

    Windows 8 has native Active Directory support for device and user management. That along with ActiveSync and I think the phones and tablets are for the enterprise.

    Great point. Another great feature is USB. My investment in various USB devices isn't obsoleted.

    Not all but certainly any Windows user who is considering a tablet. Many laptop users dock them at work for use with a monitor, keyboard and mouse. People who travel a lot may find…

    MIcrosoft succeeded in giving PC users another high quality tablet path. Enterprise users can use Windows apps the rely on for work and still enjoy a tablet experience. If they nai…

    Simply copying someone's idea isn't always enough to being successful with it. Google+, a social network clone, still can't compete with Facebook. All of the Instagram clones don't…

    I did not tell anyone to marry, let alone tell gays to marry straight. I never said that gays weren't treated badly. I also never said that gays should pretend they are not gay to …

    Actually everyone except blacks could vote. Contrary to popular belief, gay people can marry, just not same sex. This isn't a statement against same sex marriage, I'm just making a…

    I don't see any similarity between the two. Blacks were trying to obtain equal rights. The right to marry same sex is one that no one has, not just gay people.

    I don't think that law needs to get involved too early (if at all) in tech innovations. I do think society will determine whats correct and whats not. If a dispute arises then cour…

    It's not semantics. If that were the case theft laws would apply and they don't. Whether or not copyright infringement deprives copyright holders of a sale is very difficult to sub…
