smart on paper, probably not smart in reality. plugging one's phone into an insecure and untrusted microusb or usb cable sounds pretty sketchy. also, the lack of physical security screams "take my phone!"

Microsoft has single handedly alienated the entire military. And not just the U.S. military the militaries of the entire world.

nsa doesn't collect your geo data because it's too expensive to do so.

Deep reading as opposed to the often superficial reading we do on the Web is an endangered practice, one we ought to take steps to preserve as we would a historic building or a significant work of art. Its disappearance would imperil the intellectual and emotional development of generations growing up online, as well as the perpetuation of a critical part of our culture: the novels, poems and other kinds of literature that can be appreciated only by readers whose brains, quite literally, have been trained to apprehend them.

Shared: Anyone else find Google +'s changed format confusing and difficult to navigate? On high traffic sites with many postings finding an old comment is nearly impossible. The double column in particular is hard to review since I'm used to vertically arraigned comments.

Google has violated the KISS principle (Keep It simple Stupid).

someone at toyota make this happen. toyota is in need of a real sports car -- the scion fr-s doesn't count because it's under the scion badge. ever since toyota cut off the celica, mr2 and supra, all they have made are boring conservative cars. the toyota badge needs something flashy.

nope. fancy cable box will not make me pay for cable or satellite again. cable and satellite operators: deal with the reality that you're just a data pipeline now. outside of sports, there's nothing on cable tv that isn't available elsewhere.

this always bugged me when i had my xbox 360 hooked up to the tv (it's in a box now in a closet). not only do i pay for services i already pay to get (ie. amazon streaming) but even the simple act of going to a website via IE requires an xbox live gold subscription. for a large corporation like microsoft, this comes off as nickel and diming its customers. when my xbox live gold subscription came up for renewal last year, i declined. earlier this year, i just put the xbox away.

"What is it, exactly, that you're getting with Xbox Live Gold? The right to access services that you already pay for. That's $96 each for Netflix and Hulu Plus, $125 for MLB, $79 for Amazon Prime, and on and on down the line. It's like booking a hotel room and being charged separately to sleep on the bed. It's a cover for a club you already paid dues for. And Microsoft is literally the only company that does it."

microsoft continues to be the best free advertising spokesperson for sony. microsoft tells people without internet access to buy an xbox 360 instead of the xbox one. i have a better suggestion: buy a playstation 4.
