I apologize if this is covered in the article, but I could not find it. Does anybody know when the vote on SOPA happens ? How long afterwords until they start prosecutions and shutdowns ?

Apple should at least give people the option to put an older operating system on a newer system. Similar to how PC vendors offer XP or W7. I tried to install my Leopard family pack on a computer that shipped with snow leopard - no dice. Wi

This runs great. Unlike iTunes it doesn't check my entire damn music library on the NAS every single time or have tons of bloatware like Ping, iTunes Store, etc. iTunes took on average 3-5 minutes just to start. This starts quickly and imme

As a longtime Mac user (since the 80s) , it pains me to think my next purchase won't be a Macintosh, but I can't ignore the writing on the wall any longer. Apple used to be about freedom and creativity - now they just want to give the best

People check themselves out to avoid human interaction, not work.

Wow, it's really sad to see somebody so completely broken and brainwashed that he'll literally report his every move to authorities. If the government was monitoring his home with an iMac this would be right out of 1984.

Not the ideal solution, but you could try running VMWare and see how the playback is.

What they are saying is it's the death of the PC for casual people, which I somewhat agree with. There will always be desktops around, no doubt, but will the general population still be buying them in 10 years when they can just hookup a ta

Not everyone, but I'd reckon MOST people do.

I can use this. Great product. How will they monetize it ?

Do they not offer any kind of bargains for such a huge purchase/company ? I'd think Amazon would work with Netflix to offer at least somewhat competitive prices. I am just talking out of my backside here, but it seems to me like they probab

I am a HUGE media consumer, trendsetter, and generally on the bleeding edge of entertainment in my group of friends. I am their EXACT target, they just don't know how to market to me. I am the one telling my friends about new movies and tec

The movie companies are just shooting themselves in the foot. If I can't find it on Netflix or download a copy for a reasonable price (I'd pay a couple bucks to download a movie and have permanent copy...), I'll torrent it. Their loss.

Shut everything off if he doesn't pay up and move onto the next client. No reason to let their company rip you off.

I think we just have to agree to disagree on this point. I have nothing against somebody stating their position with emotion, but this was vulgar and designed to do nothing but escalate the situation. She didn't use profanity while making a

You probably should have chosen somebody who wasn't a complete douche bag to make your example. Joe Biden cussing like that makes him look like a complete fool. I am all for cussing when situation is right, but this (and Biden's mockery) is

I wouldn't treat a male any differently. It's low class. I don't recall any major CEO's on the front page of tech sites cussing before this. Ever. It shows a poor lack of control. What is said behind doors, not to the press, is something el

I have seen a whole lot of this woman cussing in the news lately. The image she puts out is low class, and she didn't make the company money. It's no mystery why she was fired. There is a time and place for profanity, and it's very rarely i

They are human like the rest of us, good and bad. Do not assume integrity simply because of somebodies profession.

I don't go to a conference for food, AV, coffee or wifi. I go for the presentations. A jump from 99 to 499 seems excessive...

I've posted about 6 reviews in total on yelp, 2 of which were immediately filtered for no reason. Funny how my positive reviews went through just fine and the rest got binned. If you're going to run a review site, at least let people give t

Why should they change their design for one person ? Maybe websites should start having one version for people with sight and one all text version for the blind. I think it's kind of dumb to make it so people can't use images embedded with

I learned one thing from this post - Wow, blind people are pissed off. In the past I've made a few websites where the owner required images incorporated into the menu. I've spoken to owners about accessibility, countless times, but more oft

Aside from DRM restrictions that stop me from buying a couple games out of principle, I think gaming is better then ever and people are happy about it. Gaming is more popular then ever before and digital distribution makes it a snap for peo

So how come this guy can get away with literally stealing personal belongings ? Do the employees sign some kind of waiver agreeing to penetration tests that may result in the loss of their personal items ? Stealing bags, laptops, ipods, see

Jailbreaking was declared legal. If it hadn't I think things would be going much differently for this fellow.

Carl Sagan was a druggie loser. Right ? Just like any drug it can be used or abused.

As somebody who doesn't know much about cars, I always thought Top Gear was a serious review show with a few jokes thrown in. Not downright misleading setups and information.
