  1. Agreed but they should pick the one that works best. Which isn't Windows 10.

  2. Wake me up when one costs less than $50k.

  3. Re:Not Even Wrong! on Will The Death of the PC Bring 'An End To Openness'? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    There's only one thing wrong. This article is written by a clueless retard and we're taking it seriously.

  4. Dialup? on Thousands Of Cubans Now Have Internet Access (ap.org) · · Score: 0

    gotta love that 110 baud rs-232 connection.

  5. Re:I have to take this guy with a grain of salt on Will The Death of the PC Bring 'An End To Openness'? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    >> My Macbook pro from 2011 still beats the hell out of most laptops made today.

    2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5? yeah sure it does.

  6. The PC is dead! on Will The Death of the PC Bring 'An End To Openness'? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 2

    For something that is dead I see and use an awful lot of them.

  7. Will it come with an SD slot and a removeable battery?
    No? then I'm not interested.

  8. Obama wont pardon him on Petition With Over 1 Million Signatures Urges President Obama To Pardon Snowden (cnet.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Obama has always been a part of the problem, not part of the solution. There's no way he's going to pardon anyone who attempted to undermine the system that keeps him rich.

  9. For those of us with top-end GPUs I just hope we will be able to turn that "feature" off, because I will bet a whole dollar that I will be able to notice it and won't like it.

  10. >> On of my main pet peeves with current VR is that I can't see why you'd need to render at full resolution outside of the eye's focus area,

    I really can't imagine that you can reduce the quality of any part of the image enough to make a performance difference without at least subconciously noticing on some level though. That said, nVidia and other companies are already working on rendering only where you're looking, determined by active eye tracking sensors.

    It seems to me that the real visual quality problem in VR is not actually caused by a limit by GPU power, but that nearly all VR games released so far are by developers that are small entrepreneurial groups rather than large software houses, and don't have teams of artists etc., so are using very simple graphics assets just because they are much quicker/easier/cheaper to produce.

    Go look at The Lab to see whats actually possible for high detail and smoothness using current GPU technology, I realy dont think that GPU power is currently the real limiting factor here.

  11. This will just be a very short-lived fad on Cassettes Are Back, and Booming (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    until people (re)discover that cassettes really are shit for many reasons, and nothing is going to improve that now.

  12. So let them die. on Streaming TV is Beginning To Look a Lot Like Cable (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    The can keep trying different ways to fleece us, but any cable or cable-like companies that still stubbornly refuse to get a clue that the internet has already blown their entire monopoly-based business model away will simply have to accept going bankrupt.

  13. Payload? on Pentagon Successfully Tests Micro-Drone Swarm (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    I wonder what payload the military have planned for these to carry.

  14. Re:A future countermeasure for "active shooters"? on Pentagon Successfully Tests Micro-Drone Swarm (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    I'm having a hard time imagining how a swarm of these would be any more than a mild inconvenience to someone determined enough to do a shooting spree.

  15. ..and of course since we had to breathe it in, we are all gonna get a share in the 4.3 billion right? No? thought not.

  16. iEye?

  17. Re:I really loved my G4 on LG's Upcoming Smartphone G6 Will Have 5.7-inch QHD+ Display Featuring 18:9 Aspect Ratio (koreaherald.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yep, if it has all 3 then I'll be buying one.
    Removeable battery and sd slot are basic requirements for me though.

  18. I'm suprised it isn't OLED.

  19. Thank goodness that Captain Pedantic and his faithful sidekick, Anal Boy are here to save us all from the dangers of possible contradictions.

  20. Sacrificial goat on FBI Arrests Volkswagen Executive On Charges Related To Dieselgate (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Just one guy? Obvioulsy a token sacrificial goat, probably set up by VW themselves. You can't tell me the whole of the VW upper management didn't know about and agree to this.

  21. CDs prices are peanuts, especially used ones.
    Even new, they're like $4.99-11.99 on Amazon.

  22. Call me strange but if I buy something, I like to be the one in control of it. Apart from all the overhead/dependencies of streaming vs storing locally, I also don;t trust the seller to keep making it avaialbe to me for ever.
    Microsoft have already proved my point for me. Twice now, they have shout down entire media stores based on proprietary DRM, making peoples previous purchased music libraires unplayable, with no apologies or refunds.

  23. Re:Here comes the malware on LG Threatens To Put Wi-Fi in Every Appliance it Introduces in 2017 (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    So just don't give it your wifi password.
    Frankly I don't see why a fridge/toaster/whatever should even be on the internet anyway, much less have a camera/mic.

  24. Just so you know.... on 'OLED TVs Will Finally Take Off in 2017' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    The new 2017 LG OLED TV's have dropped 3D support.

  25. >> Oh no, it isn't free to them to locally store things. It all gets backed up to the cloud.

    What? No it doesn't. I have most of my music library on an SD card on my phone. It doesn't go anywhere.

    >> Mostly, though, they don't want to deal with any copyright nonsense

    What copyright nonsense? You're legally allowed to rip your CDs for personal use. ITs called Fair Use.
