Always interesting timing by technology companies. Here's a post to developers by Microsoft the day AFTER Apple's State of the Union presentation to developers. Microsoft touting performance improvements the day after Apple amps u

Haha. I work in a public Library and the few people that have a Surface are always coming up to us for tech support. No one can figure out Windows 10 on a tablet. As usual Microsoft thinks it's Windows everywhere strategy makes sense -

They're worse. They get in the lowest grade wings possible (sometimes they're the size of pigeon wings) and cook as industrial as possible. I only wish chains like Subway, Dominos and Papa Johns would go under as well. No chance o

Yep. Our Applebees put in self-serve payment stations recently and the level of service went down precipitously. Servers know the computer will force 20% tip on the diner regardless of the quality of service. People are too lazy to reduce t

Um, YAY!. Nothing is worse than some real estate baron dropping a couple mil and building some zombie chain restaurant. They know nothing about food and care only about squeezing profits out of the locals. Nobody local every opens a chain a

Fortunately I have the full collection in my media files. I watch it often and although it dated it's the seminal TV production for "How to do something and why". Personally my favorites are the Elevator and the Vacuum.

Funny how quality product is never in the metrics. Fortunately the pizza eating population has not real idea what a quality pizza tastes like so another win for billionaires.

It does when you run it through the right wing filter. And when the FCC is run by the head cheerleader of right wing policies you can bet the filter is going to catch a lot more things.

Actually it has to do with the Republicans desire to be self-sufficient in all maters science. They want all scientific matters to be determined by their own sphere of influence. This allows them to deny reality for any matter of science wh

Sadly it's quickly becoming the #1 problem in the US as well.

I assume by now his political hacks have fired everyone that has recommended that Trump not be around unsecured network devices. If Trump can't Tweet, you're fired.

Well Chrome could rewrite to use the approved rederer - probably not. What's worse is Windows 10 S will be locked to only Windows Store Apps. That's why Apple just announced iTunes for Windows heading to the Windows Store. If you

It's the east cost "pricks" that put the land into National Monuments, specifically presidents like Obama. Unless you mean you want the land to be raped for the profit of your local pricks?

I'm sure he meant only western Christian "rights" which are of course not rights at all.

Seems like a waste of time. I see no evidence that the FCC cares a whit what the public thinks. Just as the EPA raped their own website without public comment and on and on. Why bother trying to explain a coverup when they don't care w

Paradoxically it's harder to tell when you have your lenses on. They're a barrier between the surface of the cornea and the inner eye lid so they actually mask the pain you might feel without them. Although I wear extended wear le

That seems hard to believe that an optometrist would recommend rinsing your lenses with anything other than sterile saline.

Gee I just got divorced and was looking at spousal support - the court said that at my age I was only a minimum wage person. Good for me but shows that the bias is legally recognized. (That's after 30 years in the IT industry)...

Oops my ass. The US economy is not booming - the US stock market is artificially inflated because investment speculators are betting that companies are going to use this obscene period in time to take advantage and do whatever they want to

They overpaid. What tech is Pebble pushing that Fitbit didn't implement already? If they were willing waste 23M they should have just given coupons to all the Pebble owners to upgrade to Fitbit.

This article would be greatly improved if they connected actual double-blind sound evaluations with the physics. Who cares what the physics show if it's not connected directly to what people hear. I hardly think hearing impaired musici

Marketing and Trump sucking. Factory was planned and spending committed long before Trump ever stole the election. Nice to see who's going to stand up for democracy.
