Office 2011 supported VBA. It was actually a decent course correction after the turd that was 2008, and from what I understand 2014 iterated upon it further. They've surely been moving in this direction for many years.

I like how this article is written like Martin will finish the book series. It’s pretty funny.

How close is it to the fan-compiled version? It must have been interesting to see how "right" they were after working on it for so long.

It’s not a win for people who spent hundreds of dollars on new phones because they were slowing down due to “age.”

Ugh! I am waiting for RE VR. I have really wanted to play the game for a while. Any reason why you didn't mention Lone Echo? I've read many, many times that it is one of the best VR experiences out there.

I love love love LOVE Gorn. I don't know what compelled me to buy it but it's one of the most enjoyable game experiences I have had in years. The most interesting thing about VR is the way it transforms utterly bog standard game mechanics. The archery game in, say, The Lab is little more than...

People get that older batteries get degraded. People get that older phones get slow. They don't get that Apple is behind the scenes tugging on one or the other without telling you. I guess the key question is, if someone went to the Apple Store and told an employee their phone was running...

This holds no water. Uber drivers have to meet standards to be allowed to drive. Their cars have to meet standards. When they are driving they have signs in their cars that identify them as Uber. They get paid what Uber tells them they will get paid. They have to follow Uber policies while...

It's a good question. In NYC, the fares are basically the same as it would be to hail a taxi, outside of surge pricing. People pay for convenience, especially in the outer boroughs (when I am in Manhattan I tend to just hail a cab). So I would say that Uber is probably doing as well as any...

There is no argument. Here in NYC, Uber *is* treated like any other livery service, regulated by the TLC in the same way, and they are doing fine.

No one should be surprised by the hardiness of this new breed of mutant super rats.

Bungie has shown they are very good at making an action game that looks good and feels really good to play. They're maybe the best for that. And to their credit they managed to make the game not totally hostile to players the way the first was. However they have continued to show absolutely no...

Those PS3/360/Wii U sales numbers also included a full Christmas season, which the Switch hasn't gotten yet. I looked at Amazon's top 100 list and three of their games are in the top 5 and both systems are in the top 10. It's going to be under a LOT of trees this month. I know a lot of people...

lol wat The Kinect was killed by the market and it nearly took down the entire Xbox brand with it. Not to mention the Kinect 2 was largely done in-house without PrimeSense, and came out the same year that Apple bought them (that being 2013).

Puerto Rico is an island, a poor place in general (half the GDP per capita of Mississippi), with a third world infrastructure in good times, and longstanding corruption issues. You can't load up a gazillion big rigs with supplies and people and drive it in as people did with Texas. The ports...

Well, mathematically, x/0 = undefined, but I realize "undefined contrast" doesn't sound so great in marketing materials. I used to go on AVSForum.com to research new TVs but the people there are so picky that I would walk into a new purchase with this negative frame of mind, scared of issues...

This doesn't strike me as a "new version" of PS VR any more than, say, the revised 360 configurations that came out before the slim: https://www.giantbomb.com/xbox-360/3045 ... ou-426216/ Actually far less. Every console has gotten tweaks and revisions, primarily to cut costs but also to take...

It is still very early days for VR and I think these sort of things have to be expected. The Vive has gone through several stealth revisions since it has been out. There's no such thing as future proofing with these things yet, which is why they aren't ready for the general mass market. They...

The fact that what people think the wire is actually a nylon strap is the sort of amateurish mistake that Google has made far too often when designing hardware. Google is going directly against the AirPods and while Apple is far from perfect this really highlights the wide gulf that continues to...

What? Frostbite has been used since Battlefield Bad Company (which came out almost a decade ago), it's been used in everything from Battlefield to Need for Speed to Madden. I haven't seen a game with better destructible environments than Bad Company 2 (sadly!) and all the games look great. I may...
