People here are totally okay with telling Comcast they can't leverage their ISP near-monopoly to win the video streaming market. Why should we allow Google to leverage their search monopoly into capturing other internet markets. The

I think you meant "shake you down".

I can see that perspective from one angle. But I still come back to the fact that it's trivially easy to not use Chrome or Google search. There is no barrier (such as cost or method of delivery like in the old days of the browser wars)

The issue is that Google is default on Chrome. I'm not convinced that's an issue. A user has to specifically choose to down the Chrome browser for free. At which point it defaults to Google search, and you can trivially change i

The fact that most people use the default, and that Google mandates the browser be Chrome These charges aren't related to Android, so where is Google 'mandating' Chrome be used?

What's the "other market" in this case though?

But the landscape has changed quite a bit since the days of Microsoft bunding IE. Changing browsers and search engines is a trivial task nowadays. Plus, Microsoft's problems were tied to Windows with IE. It appears this is just about S

From the fact that it mentions Google's position as a dominant search engine company prioritizing it's own search results.

I never understood the antitrust angle towards Google search. Is there some kind of browser or app out there that is forcing people to use Google as their search engine on all their devices?

I love one of the comments to that article that basically says that the accuracy of Sprey's statements don't matter as long as he is right about the F-35 not being worth the money and time invested.

So you've two sides to Bitcoin in reality - speculators praying other people adopt it as a currency and those using it for nefarious purposes - both of which are off-putting to any normal person who'd consider using Bitcoin for p

Aren't dollars are backed by the American economy and military? Unless you are speaking in a "Our reality is only our perception" type of way, at which point I'm not sure I buy the argument. However, I do acknowledge th

I think the etymology of the word "nerd" has evolved to mean that you have a deep and detailed understanding of a particular subject. I more see it used as a way to signal that you are interested in a subject relatively more tha

Usually you can find shortcuts to the boss areas, and most enemies in the game can be just run past. They leash back to their spots pretty quickly from what I've seen so far. But I guess relatively speaking to non-Dark Souls style game

I would assume that one of the pens would not be included then. Because it's specifically spelled out (and shown) as being included in the Surface 3 Pro.

I know because I have three high speed ISP options at home: cable, fiber and (decent) DSL. Where I live there is either cable (which exists because of cable TV) and terrible DSL (which exists because of phone lines). There has never been

I'd say it's a bit on the cheap side when you are talking full retail pricing. It executes well on its premise, has good polish and has no major issues that I've run into at release. That's better than most games asking

It's an uphill battle, but one day there will be one female engineer for every male engineer, one female PM for every male PM. Why is this a desirable outcome?

Doesn't this experiment rely on a certain critical mass of people consuming information in a non-organic fashion?

Skylines is a great game, with great mod support... ...that retails for $30 (can get it for less on sites like greenmangaming.com). That part blows my mind.

Well...the point would be that even if he's a good filmmaker, if he literally hasn't watched any TV/movies in 15 years other than his own, how would he be a reliable judge of the current crop of TV/movies?

I would argue while the headline is technically accurate, it's easily misunderstood.

So she writes a very reasoned explanation of this, only to have her entirely-not-inappropriate reasoned discussion blocked by overzealous corporate proxy servers. To be fair, I did see an ad for a Fleshlight product when I visited the pag

The SSD Endurance Experiment represents the longest test TR has ever conducted. It's been a lot of work, but the results have also been gratifying. Over the past 18 months, we've watched modern SSDs easily write far more data tha

(do you love metro on a non-touch device?) Metro is largely insignificant on non-touch devices. Most days I only see it in the brief period during "Windows Key -> 'chr' -> Enter". I never understood the Metro hat
