    $5 Service That Cancels Your Comcast In 5 Minutes

    I see these stories, yet when I called Comcast to complain that they had just doubled my bill, and told them I would leave if they didn't do something about, and was even willing to accept a lessor package for a smaller price, they did nothing. So I cancelled. And they didn't even seem to care.

    Do You Have a Case on Your Smartphone?

    Yes, have one. No, don't like it. They void the warranty if any of the corners look like they hit the ground, so I use it just in case. Might take it off after the warranty expires.

    Human Head Transplant Just 2 Years Away, Surgeon Claims

    I doubt they can pull this off, but if so, I expect young healthy people will start disappearing so old rich people can get a new body. I can't see a good ending for this if it does work.

    Visa Wants to Track Your Smartphone to Prevent Credit Card Fraud

    Having been a victim of identity theft, this does not sound all bad. It's not an experience I wish to repeat. It took 11 years to clear it up. If it could be prevented in the first place, that would be great.

    How The President's Hacking Laws Could Make You a Criminal

    Windows Update Drivers Bricking USB Serial Chips

    Agreed. All they are doing is punishing end users that may have not known the difference. There were better ways of handling this. Now more people have heard of them (I had not before this issue) and I will avoid buying anything of theirs when possible. Making the general public dislike you is...

    The Imminent Death Of The Internet Troll

    It's just people being people. If some folks think this is just something that happens on the internet and that some day they will be able to force the general population to meet their ideals, it will be a sad day for them when they realize this is just all part of life.

    Apple Fines Companies $50M For Leaks

    So this applies to someone they have a contract with? I could see them putting those terms in the contract. But I must assume that if you have no contract with them, their power to fine you for something would be non existent?

    Flight Attendants Want to Reinstate Gadget Ban

    No, that isn't the point. If you agree to site on it then that is your choice. The entitlement would be to insist that they provide and apply lube for you. and allow you to bounce on it and sing loudly while others are trying to travel.

    Flight Attendants Want to Reinstate Gadget Ban

    Seriously? You are a customer, paying for a ride. On someone else's aircraft. Their rules. And if a restaurant wanted to ban whatever device they wanted for whatever reason they want it is their right to do so. Just because you are paying someone for a service does not mean that as a customer...

    Flight Attendants Want to Reinstate Gadget Ban

    I am amazed at the sense of entitlement. They can ban whatever they want, for any reason they want. Anyone that doesn't like it can find another mode of transportation.

    Credit Card Breach At P.F. Chang’s

    It's a little pricey and I wouldn't go out of my way to go, but I wouldn't avoid them either. I've been dragged there twice and it was ok. Hopefully this breach doesn't extend into last year. I'm getting really tired of these. :(

    Raid 0 SSD setup

    Unless that 1 larger drive is a lot cheaper than 2 half the size I see no reason to not get double the bandwidth. I just set up 2 of the 240 GB Intel 730 series SSDs in RAID 0 on my desktop and the speed is ridiculous. No way would I trade them for a single 480 GB.
