Okay, I have a question. AppleID and pw non-withstanding, I have experienced the following. I played Where's my water2 recently and came to the end where you have to pay to get additional levels. No biggie, I did this with the first ga

And the fact is, Apple wouldn't really need to do that. I mean, how often have you seen scenes where the character was clearly using am iMac but the Apple logo was covered by a post-it or something? In those cases, Apple is clearly not

Also, as for the Apple devices, you only see the device itself. Never a shot of the UI. I have yet to see someone on TV use a Mac and interact 1:1 with the regular version of OSX that is installed on there. Of course, MS can't do that

Okay, what I don't get, how could Valve get that many partners to offer Steam Machines? Seeing as how little games for Linux there currently are? Did Valve tell them something we don't know? Like, every major Engine Developer is a

No no no. No Siren, they must play the Jaws theme!

Steam on Windows isn't all that great either. It's 2014 now and Steam still ignores the "multi user" aspect of Windows. Have Steam installed and want to logon automatically so you don't have to enter your password e

A good chunk on GOG re DosBox games so shouldn't these run in SteamOS already? There is a DosBox for Linux, isn't there?

and "from time to time" does not mean every other year in case somebody still thinks that. Nowadays you can go a very long time with even just a medium spec'd gpu and still compare favorably to consoles. But unlike consoles y

If we talk "gaming" and PC and "traditional consoles", I fear the Ouya is a little underpowered. Doesn't it run on a chip that is normally found in smartphones? Some type pf snapdragon?

I heard this multiple times and I think this is most likely because the iPad2 does not have a retina screen. I heard from multiple persons with an iPad 3 aka the first and therefore "weakest" iPad that uses a retina display that i

The question is, by "optimized", do they mean just the UI of the app? The article mentions that the apps must be build with xcode5. But it doesn't specify against which iOS version it must be build . Do they force devs to no

Okay then, here is a discussion topic. The author mentions that teens see Facebook as a utensil and not as something "cool" anymore. Okay, fine, but how does that predict the end of facebook? If facebook becomes a utensil, a utens

Sorry, but it completely escapes me why on earth I should spend good money on a 27 inch screen when it will be populated with the most basic looking UI elements. Is there a reason everyone currently thinks an icon does not have to look

That is precisely what I meant when I said that I encrypt my laptop and have someone else choose the password. Is that "unkown data" as the guy above you seems to believe? Hardly. If I pack my suitcase and then just have a fri

How is the camera shaking like that not going to make you sick? That would be my number one fear about occulus. If it makes you motion sick, it would be a damn shame to know something like VR exists but you cannot play it unless you are fin

Sounds about right. A delay would have hurt everybody. Of course I would have loved to get my hands on this in Europe but I'd rather they can release on time. That just means the US folks have to do all the work testing this and giving

Isn't this the same as with product placement in TV shows? Sometimes you see the characters using a Mac complete with logo visible and sometimes the logo gets covered. The reasons for this may also come from both ends. Either Apple can

Not necessary to do harm to your data. What you want is truecrypt with a shadow partition. See, forensics can tell if your laptop drive has an encrypted partition. But they can't tell how many. So, set up a dummy encrypted partition wi

A cynic would say that you might as well leave the data on your phone if you go the "cloud route" as the government would already have all your data. ;)

Another way would be to have truecrypt completely encrypt the drive in the laptop and have a colleague set up the password. Then, when you have arrived, you ask your colleague to send you the password. That way you have security of the lapt

It's funny how he rants about OSX not being cool anymore and too constricting. Seemed like it is geared towards consumers. An OS that is more made for profit than for usage etc. And then ending the piece by stating he uses Windows 8 no

You are missing the point. The twitter overlay was just an added point to illustrate that the politician was really at these places. Otherwise one could start with "yeah, well the meta data could come from anybody. Who's to say th

Same here. My TV does not even play sound through its speakers anymore since I upgraded to a surround setup. It literally does just display whatever I feed it through its HDMI inputs. I kinda like it that way. Should the TV break, I can get

Well, if they haven't seen evidence that metadata surveillance is useful, they clearly haven't searched for it. Cause if you don't search for it, you won't find it and therefore you can say with confidence "We haven
