My sister upgraded to Windows 10 and was greeted by a blue screen every time she tried to turn on the computer. Investigating online it seems it's some kind of BIOS incompatibility but the manufacturer (Packard Bell, doesn't opera

He should have walked out the interview the very moment they made the "Can't you afford a real machine?" comment. Even if you pass the interview, do you really want to work for/with these assholes?

No, and thank God for that. The only thing Rootless prevents is system modification like iOS jailbreak, i.e. prevents tinkering with the system with things like debugging running processes or modifying system files (for example, utilities t

Those fixes applicable to Yosemite will be available as a separate Security Update. Apple usually supports the current OS and the OS X version behind (for example, this for Mavericks was released in August: https://support.apple.

I enjoy boredom every often in a while. Helps me put my thoughts in order and think more clearly, if I'm stressed it forces me to tackle and face whatever problem I'm having, and I'd also say it makes me more creative.

I stopped caring about OS reviews after virtually every Yosemite (10.10.0) review failed to mention the drop in performance and battery life and the discoveryd and Wifi problems last year. These were not isolated issues and a lot of people

Highly ironic that Gruber is complaining about blocking its website ads on the grounds that they're not annoying like other websites. Same with plenty of other Apple bloggers. Guess what: adblocking because some ads are obtrusive is li

Sure thing, C++ is now very slow. That's why big projects like LLVM/Clang, WebKit, Gecko, Internet Explorer, AutoCAD, all Adobe products, all AAA 3D games and most indie ones use C++ instead of Java. If they knew back then when th
