Yeah it's things like input lag that are problematic. There's a difference between applications that run slow and lag introduced into the the system UI / core functions (like the keyboard). If you compare the OS versions (10.3.3 vs 11) there's no reason it should be there other than lack of...

As an iPhone 6 user who went to iOS 11 and then back to 10, I can confirm the slowdown is real. However, of course it's not intentional slowdown on Apple's part. It's just an instance of the old, "bad optimization for non-priority 'port'." It sucks and Apple does contribute to the forced upgrade...

Anyone remember that “innocence” psychology test, which is a sexual image created via numerous dolphins (kids just see dolphins)? A kid wouldnt even comprehend what they’re looking at here.

Am I the only one who immediately clicked through to the gif after reading about this, just to see if I'd get a seizure? It's like the big red button you can't help but push. I think the editor did the same thing... again. Just made the defense's case -- NBD.

Gimme -- I'll sit on your lap and call you Santa!

I don't buy the latency claims, but would love to be proven wrong... then we could have latency free wireless monitors!

Good old Steve would have just told her she's been pronouncing it wrong.

As someone who works in tech PR, I'm surprised and disappointed that they blacklisted you guys. I think you've been more than fair to AMD -- hell, I remember Nvidia fan boys getting fired up calling you bias back when the 4870/4850 line was crushing it. Maybe I missed some scathing editorial...

I'll pass on this game for the same reason I've passed on many other recent PC shooters -- no dedicated servers. Actually, to be more specific (a recent trend is claiming dedicated servers on the backend), console style matchmaking. It's complete garbage -- often slow, doesn't allow for...

I generally love the format. The benchmarks are very detailed real-world breakdowns of performance. What I don't love is the general lack of 1080p benching among high-end cards. Has everyone moved on from 1080p monitors? I get 1440 on some level, but 4k seems like a dumb upgrade given the...

iCloud handles backups/restores for most data, which means I only deal with iTunes on a very limited basis -- that's why it was mentioned and that's why it's good enough for many iOS users. I'd also mention that for larger cloud-based storage you're looking at the same solutions regardless of...

While iTunes can be a problem for people who still have music/video collections (get with the streaming times already ;-) ), for many people it doesn't impact the iOS experience due to iCloud, which is fairly seamless. If we look at the mobile OS performance over time, iOS still wins in the...

I recently switched to Windows 10 after staring at the free download for months. I don't really know why I switched, other than the impulse to check it out. I think that's the biggest barrier for Windows 7 users. I tried Windows 8.1 and went back after seeing how horrible it was. So why take...

What's funny, is that in my area at least I'm pretty sure the typical white male will be another minority soon (in tech) based on how many Indians companies like MSFT and Amazon are bringing in. Not complaining outside of the in-sourcing/wage discussion, just pointing it out as an ironic...

Shenmue 2 cost $70 million to make. Just sayin.
