    Windows 10: Upgrade Now or Upgrade Tonight

    Same here. Besides my main rig, I've have 3 Micro PC's utilizing Windows Media Center throughout our home with 3 HDHomeRun tuners online. We "cut the cable" 10+ years ago and use Media Center extensively for our DVR, TV, and other entertainment needs. I've also customized it with Media Browser...

    Shopping for an Xbox One for nephew... thoughts?

    My brother is considering getting his son, my nephew, an Xbox One for Christmas. He asked me on my thoughts on it since I'm the "techy" (aka nerd) in the family.

    Minecraft Player Live Streams House Fire

    First time I ever seen someone try to put out a fire with a cardboard box. Obviously not the brightest of the bunch as he was filling his lighter while his sig was dropping coals into his lap. Yup, no fire danger here.

    Game of Thrones Pirates, HBO Is Coming for You

    I wish HBO would offer their shows as pay-per episode or pay per season rather then a monthly subscription thing. I don't mind paying per episode (or season) via Amazon like I do with The Walking Dead, but I don't like to be locked down to another subscription where I may end up paying for a...

    First Assassin’s Creed Movie to Hit Theaters in 2016

    The story line of AC has such great potential for a blockbuster movie and several sequels. I really hope they don't fail to produce.

    12M Routers Vulnerable To Critical Hijacking Hack

    I agree with MrPatate. ... My D-LINK DIR-655 has been the most reliable piece of electronics I've ever owned. I've had modems die, hard drives fail, video cards swap outs, monitors die, etc yet my DIR-655 still keeps on kicking. Before this router, I had Linksys and Belkin routers and I felt...

    Never Download “Codecs” or “Players” To Watch Videos Online

    This issue is getting worse thanks to the "cord-cutters" clicking on various sites trying to find their TV shows online. So frustrating to work on the same computer 2 or 3 times when you've told them over and over again never to install or click on such things.
