Don't worry about making Pearson sound vaguely evil. The level of hate for Pearson, Wiley, and the like on my campus would make Hitler blush. I do not use the word "hate" lightly. It is a strong word.

It is 100% a corporate issue. In the US, many people have only one choice for an Internet/TV/phone provider. Some have two choices. It is exceedingly rare to find a place with three choices. Telecoms are typically granted local mo

The tech looks cool, but the hardware... one thing Amazon nailed was the look and feel of the product. This IMO looks more like a toy. (Hope that isn't much of an insult, I naturally haven't seen it in real life.)

This would be a miracle for privacy advocates. However, I'm worried that Mozilla could become irrelevant in the meantime. I say this as a die-hard Firefox user (I even refuse to use any of the forks that remove the branding). Mozilla n

Who woulda thunk, forcibly upgrading users and possibly causing harm to businesses just might be a sure-fire way to get a class-action lawsuit on your hands. I wonder if anyone on the Windows 10 dev team and/or their managers have ever
