If you found a way to get free cable television service, what would you do? Would you use it? Would you feel guilty? Or would you blab about it on social media and ruin it for everyone else? Apparently, most of you would do the most latter. In a Bloomberg report that calls the sharing … Read more
Apparently, Microsoft didn’t learn anything from their Surface RT models several years ago. Windows on ARM processors were supposed to be the next big thing in mobile devices. Turns out forking windows into ever increasing divisions has not produced the windfall they had hoped. This time, it might be even worse. Many years ago, rumors … Read more
Seems EA is feeling the burn. According to a recent Rolling Stone interview, Blake Jorgensen, EA CFO, stated that micro-transactions may or may not be coming back to the game at all. Many have speculated as to when the company will turn these transactions back on, but I’m betting it won’t happen. Many have postulated … Read more
I don’t have many apps, mainly because they suck. Not just on windows phones but speaking more generally. Having to dive through dozens of apps for things has never been something I want to deal with. I don’t think I’ve ever had more than a dozen (not including games) apps on my phones. To my … Read more
Apparently, the only thing Apple can secure these days is a loan with all their cash on hand. With password protection like this I’d be worried someone might clean out their accounts before they could pay it off, though.

I’m starting to believe these aren’t simply isolated events so much as they’re isolated findings of wrong-doing made public in a sea of corporate tracking transgressions. Let’s start … Read more
In an effort to combat fake news Facebook is starting a new project. By labeling certain “media partners” with what they call Trust Indicators. Sounds like Zuck is throwing as much of his weight as he can into the political spectrum to me, but let’s at least approach this with a discerning, yet open mind. … Read more
I don’t know about you folks, but beaming messages deep into unexplored space with our genetic information as well as our galactic address seems a bit scary. I mean, have you seen Alien? What about Aliens? I’ll forgive you if you skipped Aliens 3, but David Fincher did the best he could with what he … Read more
In case you don’t play video games or simply have been too busy with your NES or SNES classic, there has been some uproar over Loot Boxes. Consumers have tried just about everything to show their distaste for this style of micro-transactions by writing strongly worded emails and blogposts, stark social media claims that they … Read more
Facebook has begun a new initiative today to combat revenge porn. It’s simple; Just send then naked photos of yourself so their proprietary recognition software can take down future versions of the photos automatically. Yeah, you read that right. To stop revenge porn, give your porn to Zuckerberg. It’s hard for me to even begin … Read more
Everyone keeps saying my good friend, the desktop computer, is going the way of the dinosaur. With phones and tablets, and now some weird mis-mash of lap… tab… things the surface spawned there are more ways to get things done outside sitting at a desk than ever before. I think the desktop, as powerful and … Read more
Add one more company to the list of jerks who use your CPU and drive up your electricity bill without your knowledge. This one sticks out a little more than previous offenders, as before most of the time I’ve seen this happen it has been in conjunction with some free service or software like Utorrent. … Read more
