    Fans suing MLB, NHL over sports blackouts win class action status

    So how would this affect subscribers to OMPs (like MLB.tv)? I don't care so much about trying to get an a la carte sub to Fox Sports South as much as I would like the blackout restrictions lifted from local games and the Saturday/Sunday games.

    Simpsons did it: Springfield’s denizens coming to Minecraft for Xbox

    No Lenny Leonard or Carl Carlson? Less kids and more characters from Moe's please. No one likes Sherri and Terri.

    12 million home and business routers vulnerable to critical hijacking hack

    This is one of the reasons I quit using gateway/router devices like this a while ago and went to PFSense. It's faster and more secure, while giving you a lot of features that basic wireless routers don't have like VPN. Also, the article picture (on mobile at least) is a DLink wireless router...

    Verizon Wireless injects identifiers that link its users to Web requests

    You mention opting out several times in the article. Any direction on how to do this? As a VZW user I really want to pursue that if I can. Edit: Added quote

    The Elder Scrolls Online beta leaves us skeptical

    I played it totally solo too, just like I would have any other ES game. It just didn't feel right. There shouldn't be so many people, the world shouldn't feel so small, and worst of all the whole thing was too damn linear. Go here, get this, meet this person, return. While the majority of...

    The Elder Scrolls Online beta leaves us skeptical

    I have the same sentiment as everyone else so far. I /really/ wanted to love it in the same way that I loved Morrowind and Skyrim. I have been in the beta three times and unfortunately I just don't see myself getting into this. I just cant see myself buying it, and on top of that if I pay $15...

    You can use your devices on JetBlue and Delta, starting right now

    Me too, I'm flying to NYC for the marathon. I want to take my tablet just to say I did it.

    Home 3D printers take us on a maddening journey into another dimension

    Use it to print custom Ars knobs for the sticks on your machines! I'd buy that. Great review. I've been toying with the idea of getting one to play with and possibly make replacement plastic parts for automotive purposes (think broken and rotted electrical connectors). I think I'm in the...

    That .gov outage this morning? Blame an error in domain name security

    Tracking is not just the realm of the government when it comes to website visitors.... Every decent website out there runs some kind of analytics to log visitor traffic to help them tailor content to the audience. This generally includes source IP, geographic region, Browser and O/S type, and...

    Cisco to sell off Linksys division

    I meant publicly available numbers. If nothing else, the "Linksys by Cisco" branding helps create recognition for Cisco proper with the general public. I have to assume that they are loosing money on Linksys, because it seems silly to divest a business unit that is profitable just to "focus"...

    Cisco to sell off Linksys division

    Yeah... I'm not sure I understand it either. Is there a financial reason for this as well? Are there profit/loss figures available that are specific the Linksys?

    Anon on the run: How Commander X jumped bail and fled to Canada

    As a side note, the way he describes as his encounters with bears is pretty accurate, except the rising up part. I have had them wander into camps I have stayed in if the food is not stored in an airtight container. They sniff about looking for it, and will totally destroy any container they...

    Anon on the run: How Commander X jumped bail and fled to Canada

    I think you did a great job writing an interesting article that was more than just the standard "this is what happened" reporting. I found it very enjoyable. I am glad that you included the bit at the end about the validity of his story, as I was beginning to question some of his grandiose...

    Patent trolls and those who hate them square off at the FTC

    This is also true. The tendency to approve overly broad or vague patents creates a situation where other have to interpret the intent of a patent. This should not occur. Patents should be very narrow and specific. I'm not against the patent system, or licensing for that matter, but a system...

    Patent trolls and those who hate them square off at the FTC

    Ok, first, retailing (which is what a car dealership does) is not comparable to using the legal system to extort money from another business in a disadvantaged position. You simply cannot draw this analogy. And yes, there is a problem with the patent system. The issue, like others have...

    Mystery donor who gave $35K to The Oatmeal's Tesla museum fund

    Google raises barrier for trolling Android app reviews

    This stinks. I like to review apps, but I am not going to sign up for Google+, let alone have a public profile, just to do so. I understand wanting to cut down on trolls, but this is not the way to do it. If troll reviews get marked as "unhelpful" 10 times then just hide them, that seems like...
