I have this "entry level" tier and I'm stuck paying $50 a month for this! They offer it to new customers for $20 a month. Are they selling it at a loss at the intro price or just making an obscene amount of profit off of me? I would call and try and get a better rate, but they finally got to...

I'm considering starting a small website soon and stuff like this makes me want to stay the heck away from shared hosting. I'm curious to learn how the hosting that these compromises occurred under was configured. When I do start my own website I'll probably just get a small VPS or cloud...

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this yet, but Redflex is also being sued because they bribed the city of Chicago to get the contract for those cameras. A man is setting up a class-action lawsuit to get refunds since the whole camera system was the result of a bribe...

The nice thing about the car being "dumb" in this case with everything on the phone is that when you go to sell your car it doesn't have all of your personal information on it. I don't have experience with the newer cars that have infotainment systems, but one of the things I have always...

In Illinois at least there are certain pre-determined "excuses" you can give as to why the ticket should be dismissed, for instance if you go through a red light when a cop is directing traffic, etc. One of the excuses is that an officer issued you a ticket for the offence, which you must...

I wonder if Microsoft will issue a patch for XP and say that they are doing so because the bug was present before XP support ended?

As a web developer, I am constantly tasked with figuring out ways of doing things I have never done before. One of the things I have found is that you can't be afraid to try and fail. Sometimes when working on a problem I will have to try three, four or more different solutions before I find...

Network Solutions isn't the only one trying to pull this same kind of scheme where they add new charges without permission. I had some domains with 1and1 (been with them since 2005 with no issue) and suddenly get an email that I have been enrolled in their MyWebsite program. This is AFTER they...

I don't think this is so bad, if this is only working where when you type a brand name and you get an ad for the brand, such as with Southwest Airlines. In that case, I think Google can infer that the user is searching for the brand and this can be a helpful tool for the user. If I am...

What I like most about ChromeOS is that there is really nothing malware can infect on the system. Google's account based login is cool in that you can give your PC to someone else and they're not using your PC, they're using their own PC. I can think of some family members who could use a PC...

I can't wait for this to come to Chicago! I'm either going to switch right away or use this as a bargaining chip with Comcast to get a lower rate. Right now I'm paying about $145 a month for Comcast's triple screw job and that doesn't even include a DVR, so if I can use this as leverage that's...

One man's security flaw is another man's "feature". Same thing goes for all of those "flaws" in iOS which allow it to be jailbroken.

What he could do is create a new book, something like "Fox's Journey" and then send a DMCA notice to Fox's domain registrar saying that he believes the site or domain is infringing. It would be funny to see Fox's domain suspended for a few days due to the takedown request.

I don't know who is more "at fault" here, the companies that set up certificates on fake domains or ICANN for knowing that companies do this and pushing ahead with this at this speed anyway. I'm leaning towards the companies, just because they should have known that a new domain extension could...

I wish I would have bought some Bitcoins last year. It would have been nice to get in then. Now I'm waiting for the price to drop off of that high, but I'm wondering if it will drop or if it will keep going up and up and up!

So, looking at this screenshot it appears they are getting rid of the taskbar this time around. At least, this wouldn't surprise me considering the way they removed the start button just like that in Win 8. It makes me want to stick with Windows 7 for the next 15 years or so...

While MEGA seems cool, it looks like from what is in the story it's not going to be like the late Megaupload in one key way and that is that it does not appear that users can post a link to a file that anyone is able to download. It looks like from the story that to share a link you need to...

Great, so now instead of just bicycles on the side of the road we have to worry about this too!?! Where I live cyclists seem to be oblivious of traffic and their surroundings, often doing whatever they want, such as not stopping at stop lights / signs, riding in narrow roads that make having a...

I recently bought a Windows 7 touch device for the purpose of putting Windows 8 on it. I purchased the Dell Inspiron Duo, which if you have seen the new Dell XPS 12 convertible the Inspiron Duo is the predecessor to that. I got the Duo for $480 new, which I think is a good price compared to...

How do you not realize that you are being infected by your own malware? You would think they would know this. You would also think that they would put in a safeguard to prevent it from running on their own PC.
