  1. Oh! NO! They'll find me... on Police Are Using Google's Location Data From 'Hundreds of Millions' of Phones (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Very boring.

  2. This would be fine... on Windows 10 Continues To Close in On Windows 7 (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    If Windows 10 were a Superior Product to Windows 7.

    All I've found is a lack of compatibility with older non-Microsoft software. A horrid interface designed more for grandma's tablet than a real working PC. And a new "Edgey" browser that comes straight out of 1996. Seriously, we found an old video file that NOTHING would play was compatible with MS Edge...then we found it wasn't an H.264 codec, but an H.262 codec. Modern browsers wouldn't play it. Of course, Edge is NOT compatible with more modern codecs....so it's kinda a wash.

  14. I think... on We're All Getting Dumber, Says Science (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1
