  1. These are NOT reviews! This is the Audience "WANT TO SEE" rating, which is completely different. People NOT wanting to see a film, is NOT review bombing. STOP LYING!

  2. Why should "reviewers" be allowed to exert ANY control over consumer devices? The "tech reviewers" are why we have all glass fragile sealed devices without replaceable batteries. "to see how reviewers and the market react" Personally, I am beyond tired of anything "reviewers" say about anything.

  3. Don't you mean... on Facebook Bug Prevented Users From Deleting Their Accounts (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So called "bug"?

  4. Too many people excused the anti-customer spyware/malware behavior of Microsoft and Windows 10 because "it is free". But, it is NOT FREE NOW. There is absolutely no excuse for a paid product to behave this way. I guess Microsoft will keep on until another Federal investigation occurs. Since they are charging for Windows 10 licenses now, I asked Microsoft if that version would be devoid of the spyware. They never responded, so that must mean, "no".

  5. I do not use 1Password, so this will not affect me or the security of my data.

    And, of course, The Verge tries to spin this 180 degrees to make HER the victim. Nope. SHE is the one that caused her own firing.

  8. NO, it was not the result of a Reddit witch hunt.. on Game Company Fires Two Employees Who Complained About 'Mansplaining' on Twitter (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    She got fired for being a sexist jerk. Her co-worker got fired for joining into the sexist attack. The person that responded to her, Deroir, said nothing sexist, demeaning, belittling, or insulting to her. SHE is the one who took things too. She could have simply ignored the comments if she did not want to interact with him. Reddit did not do the damage, she and her co-worker did this to themselves.

    My money is on this being something sinister. Microsoft has a long history of this.

    If I had any friends, and used Telegram, and lived in Russia, I would be frightened. Since I have no friends, only use SMS, and live in the USA, I already gave up any pretense of privacy.

  12. Well... on McAfee Acquires VPN Provider TunnelBear (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    RIP TunnelBear VPN. I won't touch ANYTHING with the name McAfee on it.

  13. Could they just static link the libraries to avoid the use of DLLs until the replacement is ready?

  14. So THAT is what killed my laptop!

    The sale did occur after the security flaws (remember, there have been several) were reported. He may actually get away with this.

  16. Exactly HOW does eliminating Net Neutrality and allowing ISPs to block or slow web site access prevent Facebook or Twitter of repressing other opinions??? Either he is stupid, or a an outright liar. (My money is on LIAR.)

    Microsoft used in Windows 8/10, I do not trust ANYTHING they say. I must view anything and everything they do now as EVIL.
