  1. How is this not a monopoly play? on New Intel and AMD Chips Will Only Support Windows 10 (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    This smacks of something illegal but not a lawyer so I can only speculate. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

  2. Daaammmmmnnnnnnn..... on Australian Man Uses 1TB of Mobile Data in a Single Day (stuff.co.nz) · · Score: 1

    that's one serious porn addiction!!

  3. Exclusive interview with Lassie in bread-line... on Sniffing Out Billions In US Currency Smuggled Across the Border To Mexico · · Score: 1

    TiVo works with FiOS as well, not just cable.

  5. Re:Only Comcast cable here... on Netflix Gets What It Pays For: Comcast Streaming Speeds Skyrocket · · Score: 1

    I had TiVo... once... for a couple months... don't go there if you've not already. Save yourself the grief!

    and they killed something. What exactly is the problem here?!? :-/

  9. Nextel acquisition didn't win anyone over neither. on Sprint May Have Unlimited Data Plans, But Not Unlimited Customers · · Score: 1

    I didn't care for Sprint or Nextel personally but I know several people of whom Sprint attempted to force-feed their service to after the merger but didn't want and/or like the Sprint offerings so they dumped Sprint altogether. Not a surprise that their customer base is dwindling.

  10. Re:Panda on Mozilla Launches Firefox OS Devices In Stores, Opens Up App Payments · · Score: 4, Informative

    Apparently, "Firefox" is the nickname for the Red Panda.

  11. "our relatively low rates of subscribership" on ITIF Senior Fellow Claims "America's Broadband Networks Lead the World" · · Score: 1

    Since the pricing is ridiculously high for service, it's a no-brainer! Broadband is priced too high for a lot of households to justify getting it. Food, mortgage/rent, fuel, clothes, utilities... a lot of people are doing well to just survive.

  18. Ridiculous... on A New Version of MS Office Every 90 Days · · Score: 1

    LibreOffice is free and what more can they really add to office to warrant people shelling out for it every 3 months... Corporations going bankrupt and they wonder why?!?

  19. Then that means that.... on Kaspersky Update Breaks Internet Access For Windows XP Users · · Score: 1

    WinXP users can uninstall the product since there is no longer a threat of getting their machines infected! Kaspersky has done the ultimate preventative measure for them. ;-)

  22. Well, on Microsoft Patents Tech That Would Silence Your Phone For You · · Score: 1
    many phone models already have some sort of functionality similar/same as this.

    Most assuredly, as with many other phone features available, this is something that will have a ON/OFF toggle function and many people will simply have it set to OFF no different than the similar functionality is currently set to on their phones today.

  23. As a diver... on NASA Considers Putting an Asteroid Into Orbit Around the Moon · · Score: 1
