    Insteon finally comes clean about its sudden smart home shutdown

    Gmail hasn’t been around for 2 decades, let alone “over two decades”. It’s been launched in 2004 and I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume you weren’t their first invitation to register an account. Because there was an invitation system for first couple years at least. So, get a calendar. 😉

    Apple vs. Epic hearing previews a long, hard-fought trial to come

    It’s not about Apple charging a fee for App Store service, it’s about it being 30% of all revenue. Apple should charge a flat fee, or reduce it’s tax to something fair like 10%, and everybody would be satisfied. They don’t want to give up those hefty 30% though because their bottom line would...

    Windows 10 search could soon look just like macOS’s

    I don't care if it resembles macOS search. In fact I wouldn't even know if it did if not for this article. I only care if it's useful and if it's an improvement. So you don't have to do the comparison to macOS thing, you should just write a review of how it actually does search. Nobody cares if...

    HP Elite x3: A flagship Windows phone that’s unambiguously enterprisey

    From today's perspective, when Microsoft announced that Windows 10 Mobile is left for dead, it's sad to see the enthusiasm people had for Windows Mobile only a year ago. It's sad that Microsoft killed it's only platform with a foothold in the present/future. They could have and should have...

    On another note, US and its allies have been attacking whomever they wanted with everything they've got including nukes for almost 75 years nonstop.

    The cases for and against claims Kaspersky helped steal secret NSA secrets

    Good job! Any dent in the NSA's illegal TAO is a good job. OS vendors, like Microsoft, Google and Apple, need to improve their own security research, and their OS' security should be a top feature, because as they work to add new productivity and usability features, organizations like the NSA's...

    Game of Thrones has become a CW show

    It wasn't fun at all, in a sense that all the previous seasons' careful plotting went out the window and I was left wondering why did i waste years on this show when they could sum it up in 2 seasons at this rate? What was the point of Littlefinger's character throughout the show only to end up...

    Racist Daily Stormer goes down again as CloudFlare drops support

    Except from the EFF reaction: "The EFF noted that companies can choose what kind of speech to allow, but warned that companies are entering dangerous territory because of how much power they wield. "We strongly believe that what GoDaddy, Google, and Cloudflare did here was dangerous. That’s...

    Racist Daily Stormer goes down again as CloudFlare drops support

    I don't know what you've been smoking but I suggest you take it down a notch. You're talking complete nonsense. I'm quite aware of how many people nazis have murdered because I'm from a country that suffered 2 million lives lost in WW2, that had nazi concentration camps on it's territory and...

    Racist Daily Stormer goes down again as CloudFlare drops support

    I don't know what you've been replying to, certainly not my post. I'm not defending anyone, least of all neo-nazis, I was only questioning the domain ban as a big story of victory over neo-nazis. So you claim that the hatespeech people are all murderers, terrorists and criminals en general? Then...

    Racist Daily Stormer goes down again as CloudFlare drops support

    I don't care for neo-nazi forums or any of the "hate speech" stuff on the net, I don't think I ever visited such a place, but I'm also against censorship on the Internet. It's a Pandora's Box, once you open it you can't close it, so there's no saying where the censorship stops. I'm sure the...

    Google Glass is apparently back from the dead, starts getting software updates

    Cameraless? Really? And how would it even communicate with the surroundings then? By sonar I guess.

    Intel fires warning shots at Microsoft, claims x86 emulation is a patent minefield

    I find it ridiculous that Windows on ARM will be a 32-bit platform when everything nowadays from smartphones to laptops run 64-bit software. Am I missing something here?

    iOS 11 will bring big updates to Siri, iMessages, Apple Pay, and more

    I know I don't want my messages "automatically stored in the cloud". I want them on my device where I have complete control over them, not on some company server. I hope the "automatic cloud storage" is optional, but I'm afraid it won't be. Anyway, my old iPhone 5C won't be supported bu iOS11 so...

    Logitech MX Master 2S and MX Anywhere 2S: Multi-computer mousing made easy

    €100 for a mouse is ridiculous. I remember when Logitech mice were like €20 and the most expensive were like €50.

    Why not ban cars, Amber Rudd? It’d be more effective than banning encryption

    That is just stupid. Even if they somehow coerced WhatsApp or WhateverApp to grant them access, people would just move to another platform which isn't backdoored, pretty much like they do with torrent trackers. Needless to say, the governments cannot deny encryption to general population. That's...
