2011 - netbooks sell like crazy
2012 - people realize netbooks are unusably slow, have too small of a screen, and have double the failure rate of laptops plus no shops will fix them
2013 - people buy Chromebooks and tablets
2014 - people realize they can't run any useful software on a Chromebook and it's a single-use style device that lives in its own little fairy magic land and stop using it. They also realize that you can't type on tablets so they're useless for almost everything.
2015 - Microsoft realizes they fucked up and releases an actually good Windows 9 and everyone buys PCs
The US legal system is a fucking joke. Some hot shot lawyer would try some bullshit tactics to get him off and then be a famous, high paid defense attorney for the rest of his life. It's basically American Idol for lawyers when high profile cases come up. Everyone everywhere knows he did it so skip the stupid trial.
Oh and in case you didn't notice, HE'S NOT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN! You think the constitution applies to everyone worldwide? Go ask everyone worldwide what they think of us passing laws that pertain to them even though they don't live here.
I wouldn't count on an article that claims "The cloud of burning aluminium powder means victims often die from asphyxiation before the pressure shreds their organs." to be terribly accurate. Considering the blast wave is about 2 seconds later and humans can hold their breath for at least 30 seconds, that's absurd.
Oh yeah, and then there's the fact that thermobaric weapons don't produce a vacuum wave. Internal organs are pounded by a high air pressure shockwave which is literally the exact opposite. Other than that, it's spot on. Great reporting.
I get every single thing I need online from ebay at a lower price or newegg. In fact, I'm one of Newegg's Egg Expert reviewers. Unlike Amazon's bullshit system, Newegg ships us reviewers the product itself that we can keep for free and then we write a review about it. Now THAT is a group of expert reviewers. Vine is a joke. Amazon's web layout and search function are awful and I still can't tell if a product is coming from Amazon or some random guy somewhere. Shipping times? Who the hell knows. They just make something up. Why does anyone actually still use that old dinosaur Amazon and their 1990's website layout?
Woo, go badgers! By the way, I'm fairly certain they have little to no presence in Wisconsin. I'm an IT manager in WI and the closest HP support and sales agent is in Illinois or something like that. The password was either randomly generated, related to the meme video, or some other strange source.
Do you feel personally responsible for the complete disaster that Java has been in the last 4 years or blame Oracle? It has cost millions of dollars in virus removal services. And don't forget the millions in fraudulently stolen or extorted funds from Java-based viruses going straight to terrorist organizations, drug dealers, and violent regimes in 3rd world countries. It is the single worst thing that has happened to internet browsing in the last few years and it's your product. So your fault or Oracle's?
This is definitely a faster and more efficient way to run MS...in such a way that Europe can sue their asses off and all their products get ruined by linking to services and products nobody has any interest in.
So the Universal Service Fund is very well funded but the balance in the "Move Closer if You Want 21st Century Infrastruction, You Rich Dumbass" or "MCIYTFCIYRD Fund" is still at a balance of $0. It turns out though that $0 is sufficient money to fund that program. They should really cancel the USF then, huh?
"PC sales have been hurt in recent years by the growing popularity of tablets."
That's BS, it's Windows 8's fault entirely. This study doesn't count used PC resale or a drop in computer (scrap) recycling levels. Tablets replace laptops, not PCs. There is no drop because of tablets. It is completely Windows 8's fault.
I'm confused. Everything supports 3D printing. There's probably a Linux application for it. You just have the company write a driver, install 3D software that works with it, and hit print. The operating system is irrelevant. All they're doing is putting a big "sue me, I have the most money" sign on them with a picture of a 3D printed gun under it. Now they're just getting desperate. I thought 8.1 was a rush fix like Windows 7 from Vista but nope. Hopefully THIS TIME heads will roll and they'll replace clueless morons with reasonable design leads at MS.
"laws that treated certain people as less than human"
Wow so in America it's no longer even allowed to have an opinion that gay marriage is wrong. Anyone holding that opinion is automatically seen as some horrible nazi or something. You know, there's a difference between disapproval and cross burning and hate speech on posterboards.
Immune is a misnomer. They're clearly not "immune" to SARS or H1N1. A virus strong enough just has to be mutated due to awful health practices and tada, is spreads among unsanitary people like a plague (because it is a plague lol).
Every single one of the morons responsible for this atrocity should be held financially responsible and fired. I hope someone comes down on them with a hammer after such unbelievable stupidity.
Oh yeah, because Britain is so pro-privacy. It's fake grandstanding to get the people convince they're pro-privacy when they practically have a camera up every resident's ass.

They didn't make a complete catrastrofuck called the Java web plugin and they didn't ruin Open Office so I'd say they're beating Oracle.

What are you going to do when the marine robot catches a virus because of an unpatched Java version?

I was going to correct it as "running into the ground" actually.

"Hitachi has also been researching something similar."
Well THAT one will probably fail in 2 years or less, given Hitachi's typical quality level.

Dear dropbox:
I am not that stupid
How is making VLC close a DoS? Just re-open it and don't play the rigged file again.
My favorite part of that one was the crash was investigated by the MIB - Mishap Invetigation Board and definitely not Men in Black.
"It seems amazing that something as fundamental as this was not caught during quality control"
I have an explanation: it's Russian
Tormail is free and already well established.
Florida shouldn't be allowed to make laws of vote. Seriously. They make California look good.

I saw a video on slashdot of a guy firing an arbalast at an LCD monitor and the synthetic sapphire coating didn't nick, scratch, or shatter.
