I haven't heard of a Ponzi scheme that actually develops a product that works and ships it. A Ponzi scheme involves moving around money to fake a business. BFL is being run terribly, they're fumbling everything and possibly committing fraud in some areas, but I think it would be a bit...

In conspiracy logic, any action or argument against them somehow proves their point, no matter how scientific or indisputable the counter argument is against them, they spin the mere existence of a counter argument or counter push as proof of the conspiracy. So in the conspiracy world, this can...

Judging from how Micro USB 3.0 currently works, it shouldn't be a problem. 3.0 has a wider connector with a divider down the middle, and one half is shaped so you can plug a regular old Micro USB 2.0 in. I'm assuming Super ultra Mega Micro USB 4.0 will just add more connectors in the same...

When Gawker blogs aren't busy trolling and scandal-mongering every major video game release with baseless accusations of _____ism (Like a 1500 word article declaring Battlefield 3 homophobic and pro-rape because one NPC said "I'm getting my shit pushed in over here", while behind cover), or...

I don't see how Samsung expects yet another OS to compete with iOS and Android, when even Windows Phone is slipping and webOS didn't even stand a chance.

I own From Dust on Steam but can't play it anymore because it's also tied to a UPlay account that I lost the password and email to. The value of DRM speaks for itself when pirates fail at cracking it, but when they do, the DRM may as well be patched out at that point.

I don't think it's quite as simple as that. Because the reason Samsung is so successful in the first place is that their phones are usually by far the most advanced spec-wise, and other phones are usually a step behind, even though the Samsung phones are put in a cheaper, plastic shell. I...

I think it would be more responsible for the author to keep a neutral point of view, we can form our opinions just fine with the facts alone. Getting your information from an opinionated or biased source is exactly how people become as deluded as these protesters to begin with.

But they might be right..I'm afraid of change... or at least changes that clearly make my job harder for the sake of bringing my PC down to a tablet's level. A touch screen interface just isn't a good fit for a mouse and keyboard, and tripping and falling into a mobile OS with every second step...

Honestly, when I read the part about her politics/activism, I was expecting things to get much uglier than they were, that her politics would be used as a shield, that people criticizing the editor would be baselessly accused of misogyny and things would just spin out of control, it's hard to...

Depends if you want the movie to cover your whole vision, like sitting at the front seat at a theatre, or watch a virtual screen some distance away. In the former case, there's unavoidable and extreme motion sickness to be had because you can't control the camera movement, imagine something...

You should be able to use it without the camera, the motion/gyro sensors are still there, you'll just be missing a few degrees of movement and maybe some motion accuracy.

Sounds like an excuse or stunt considering that Google now encrypts internal traffic to spite the NSA.

Conspiracy theorists and activists only appreciate science when it agrees with them, otherwise it's just part of the conspiracy/corporations/boogeymen.

All four could be abused, any political/religious argument can lead to a frivolous accusation of racism or sexism. Example: Any discussion over Islam can walk a fine line between both, being accused of racism for opposing Sharia Law or sexism for supporting Sharia Law, much of Islam is an...

It would be more productive if YouTube had an opt-in censoring system for the holier-than-thou and hyperbolic people (includes much of Ars) who claim that they literally cannot read YouTube comments for fear of being offended. There's nothing being said on YouTube that is so bad that you could...

It can enhance gameplay, unlike the Xbox 360 Kinect, which can only try to replace it. Basically, the problem with the original Kinect was that it didn't have the resolution or depth accuracy to actually tell you apart from your couch or controller, so you had to stand and make exaggerated...

It will, or at least, the hardware will accommodate it. Beyond little tricks and cheats, afaik better AI ultimately comes down to processing power, and how much is allocated to AI, aside from the new CPU's in both consoles, they also have the flexibility of modern GPU's, which can handle the...

That annoys me more than anything, it's such a disingenuous thing to do. It's like asking someone why they "NEEED" to be gay married, or why they "NEEED" video games involving violence. It's the first straw people grasp when they're having a hard time justifying a ban on something, either from...

I own *several* game consoles, am I crazy? I didn't want to simply stick with my Xbox 360 and got a PS3 for variety and to see what I was missing. Similarly, I also own 3 (or *several* dun dun dunnn) guns, all for the gun range, one long rifle, one ar15, one glock, not all guns are the same...
