Unless you're paying for more than 500mbps internet, you can pay $60 for a docsis 3.0 16x4 modem that will pay itself off in 6-10 months (depending on rental fee). And you can sell it if you move.

I've always had my own modem and I've never had a problem with Comcast/Xfinity not helping me. Maybe I'm the exception. Recently they updated my area to DOCSIS 3 (or 3.1, not sure). My DOCSIS 3.1 Motorola modem (found th

They used to be critical features, but I just don't think the incremental improvements are as noticeable anymore. My iPhone 6s feels quite snappy yet. The iPhone 3G to the 3Gs was an amazing leap in usability though. Everything just wo

This is pretty much me as well. I'll likely start using RSS a bit more as that's mostly how I use twitter in any case. I'd be ok with limited ads, but re-ordering the tweets and adding tweets from people I don't follow i

My issue with the New 3DS is that the buttons are incredibly clicky. Like using a mechanical keyboard while someone is trying to sleep. The Switch seems a bit quieter in that regard.

I think you're over-selling the Wii U. I was originally excited by the Wii U portability, but the range that the gamepad can go from the console is incredibly short. My office is 20 feet away from the console (through two walls), and I

They're adding a lot more than just over the air broadcast channels. For someone that likes watching live sports on occasion, this is a decent offering (the omission of TNT and TBS is odd though). Channels offered: https://l

From the blog post (for what it's worth, I think it's a good idea): >Six accounts, one price. Every YouTube TV membership comes with six accounts, each with its own unique recommendations and personal DVR with no storage limits

This is priced about the same as Playstation Vue, DirecTV Now, and Sling for the channels offered. Looks like they're trying to win people over with features (DVR, 6 account profiles, etc).

Are they actively blocking the other HMD's or just not supporting them with drivers, etc? I know they locked it down at one point with DRM, but quickly backtracked. Revive is a free option, that works with the Oculus Store and the Vive

One big reason is the weather. I run outside all summer, and then it gets very cold where I live from December through February. I'm not insane enough to run outside on icy roads, etc. We finally got a trainer for a road bike we can us

The problem isn't with Amazon having to pay to serve the content. It's that Amazon now has an exclusive deal and this content is being removed from Netflix and other streaming services. As others have noted, this isn't a grea
