These, like smartphones, do not have to be used all the time. There's no reason you can't wear them when you'd like to be connected... you'd be crazy NOT to take them off.

Good hackers won't be caught, there is no training. If they do XYZ and don't leave any traces they can't be caught. It took a considerable amount of time and effort to catch these people and they left hundreds of logs.

How can anyone with a tiny bit of intelligence claim that he did any wrongdoing by helping the FBI? This does not imply that helping law enforcement is always ethical. In this case, helping law enforcement take down these criminals is not

You're joking right? Sure, he WAS an ass but at least he did some good by helping the FBI take down these criminals - enjoy jail.

This would be a great way to kill windows. Microsoft Office, IDEs, Photoshop, etc. simply wouldn't work as well in metro. Having separate windows allows drag and drop between applications and is a huge boost to productivity. Not to menti

There are much more valuable files to steal off a computer than a phone. The reason you won't see it (often) is because it's so much easier to watch traffic on your computer. Any company doing this would be taking a huge risk and would li

Good for him but not sure why he feels the need to push his zero-alcohol policy on others. I'd guess more people drink for other reasons than to "get drunk" but I guess this was his only reason.

There are definitely advantages to Flash but this reeks of bias. For example, Flash is supported by 99% of web browsers? Guess we're ignoring mobile?

Just disable it by default and get the best of both worlds. I dislike my browser loading Flash (which is often advertisements) so I only allow it when it's some content worth viewing. Unfortunately there are still worthwhile websites that

This has nothing to do with the free Google Maps but instead the use in Enterprise which normally carries a hefty price tag. Software products do promotions all the time - it's still up to the user to decide whether the future costs of the

I've never understood the argument of "allowing" people to become billionaires. Many of these people created things that changed the world. Should they be artificially limited even more on their income?

The author claims he cut cable yet pays $340/year to get NFL Sunday Ticket on his PS3 - really? The only reason I still have cable is for ESPN. They have live sports that are exclusive to ESPN and the only way to get ESPN is to have cable.

He has a great point if it's legit. Without source we have no idea what's going on or if he even has valid HTML to begin with. I have no problems centering content horizontally cross browser (which he complains about).

No, you can't opt out of online tracking any easier. Private browsing mode doesn't hide your IP address. Plus you've got companies like Facebook that can (or try) to track your activity outside of their website. Ever use public internet?
