    Google: Gmail Users Have No Legitimate Expectation Of Privacy

    TANSTAAFL Ignorance does not excuse responsibility. That about sums it up. Though most of the people crying need to pay attention and RTFA. A little reading comprehension does wonders. For the record, I use Gmail all the time. I use it for trivial stuff, like I would use anything...

    Robot Does Quadruple Backflip

    As far as I can tell, it's operated by a human through RC, so there is hope for mankind. Still pretty cool. Listen to those servos sing.

    GTA V: Official Gameplay Video

    Exactly, that's the part that made me sit up in my chair. I'm actually interested now.

    New AMD Drivers Coming July 31st

    That's just what happens to front page news threads. It's like playing smeer the... errr, ummmm, tackle the shit out of the guy with the football. It can get ugly.

    Radeon HD 7990 versus GeForce GTX TITAN Review @ [H]

    From the article. "We are using Catalyst 13.5 Beta2 for AMD Radeon HD 7990 and 7970 GHz Edition CrossFire." So I guess the new drivers have finally satisfied the [H] crew when it comes to smoothness. If it had been an issue they would have mentioned it... a lot. Good news. Oh yea, and no Gold...

    Google Not Liable For Vanity Search Results

    You are guaranteed a defense attorney in criminal cases, who is supposed to do their level best on your behalf, that's it. I'll soften the blow by playing along... Your momma so fat, she rolled outta both sides of bed. Carry on.

    HAWKEN Beta Now Open

    I'm downloading it now, a bud is nagging me to play. I've been playing MWO since well into closed beta, so if it sucks then I'll live. It'll just be a good excuse for him to finally load MWO. I do agree that the more mech games the merrier. Now go watch the Pacific Rim trailer. WEEEEEE!!!

    Windows 8 is the New XP

    Pretty much what I thought the first time I read someone whining about why they couldn't just keep XP around. When XP released no one could stand it, myself included. After SP2 it was a decent OS, and SP3 which was almost a rewrite made it nice. But for years people would describe XP as if Bill...

    Japan Mulls '911' Emergency Calls from Social Networks

    So instead of saturating one network, they can saturate 2. Kudos Japan, well played. (<--- obvious sarcasm, for those with no soul)

    The Raptor RT01 Is Your Next Table / Desk

    To quote a wise man (me), "If you can see my desk then I'm not working hard enough and you should fire me." Since it looks like your personal bench, tell the wife that if it wasn't on the table, it would be in her closet. :) And I used a glass top diner table as a computer desk for years...

    Nexus 7 Tablet Hands-On

    LoL It's ok guys, we understand, have to grasp any straw to stay the course. Weeks ago the decision had been made to not care about this release. Then I saw the specs. This of course evoked immediate application of "fork to hand" to stave off involuntary CC# recital on the 10 key. I then...

    New Generation Fingerprint Scanner works from 20 Feet

    The trick is in not minding that it hurts.

    Police Do Not Need a Warrant to Subpoena Tweets

    Maybe people will finally realize that putting their whole lives online is a bad idea. Drives me nuts to see all these people post every last detail of their daily lives without a care in the world.... until it inconveniences them, then it's all about how they want privacy. I spent my...

    FAA to Test Electronic Gadget Interference Theory

    Here's how it will go. 1. FAA does study, finds no way for consumer equipment to reasonably affect the avionics regardless of what phase of the flight you are in. 2. FAA does another study after the first one is ridiculed for being too narrow. Now the study includes blenders and washing...
