Yeah, that's the problem. I hate seeing people make excuses for Foxconn because other companies are no doubt much worse. As if that makes it better for any of the workers we're talking about.

The folks behind Humble Bundle have just released a new collection of games up for grabs (err... for cheaper prices), and this time there's a twist. In addition to the Windows, Mac OS X and Linux support we've come to expect, Android has been added on as an additional platform this time around...

It's nice to see companies value their own people over a few extra bucks. It's the kind of thing companies could be proud to boast about. But Fender in the grand scheme makes pennies compared to Apple. Apple by producing things overseas no doubt sees far, far more revenue than had they kept...

That's just it. I don't think most people on dial-up would opt for it over a better solution. I found this article to be a great read also... so much so that I ended up reading through it a second time. I complain a lot about my home Internet connection, but it's pretty well impossible to...

I am not familiar with this show at all, but this still struck me as epically awesome: <object id="ch6701398" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://0.static.collegehumor.cvcdn.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.internal.swf?clip_id=6701398&use_node_id=true&fullscreen=1" width="600"...

That's just it. And unfortunately, even if you decide to go "pro American" or whatever, no one else is going to. And even if 10% of the entire population stopped purchasing Asian-built products, the companies who manufacture there aren't going to care.

Through its official Office blog, Microsoft has announced that a "technical preview" version of Office 15 has just been released, an important milestone in its development process. Unlike the developer preview for Windows 8, the one for Office 15 isn't available to the public, but is instead...

I like HyperThreading far too much to not opt for the 2600/2700K, but I agree, the 2550K is kind of an odd duck. Intel's line-up has always been chock-full of models that don't make a ton of sense.

AMD has today followed-up to its Radeon HD 7970 launch this past December with an option that slots in right beside NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 580, price-wise. With an SRP of $500, the Radeon HD 7950 isn't inexpensive, but it's not meant to be. More often than not, it clearly wins in benchmarks when...

Apple last week posted its most impressive revenue statement to date, and with it came renewed calls for a boycott of the company's products. The reason I'm sure will come as no surprise. Foxconn has been in the news many times over the past year or so due to its abnormally high rate of employee...

Yes, it's considered "final" as far as I can tell. That beta period was shorter than I even expected.

I think publicity is the hardest thing about self-publishing. If you are very active on social networks, I think getting the word out is easier than ever.

The same could be said about ACTA, which is scarier than all of these (it's in the UK but would affect a lot of other countries also, including USA and I believe Canada). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agreement

I admit that I'm getting bored with these things. SOPA, PIPA, ACTA and now whatever this is... ugh. The best part is that these laws are going to do nothing to piracy except increase it. Oh, I can't rip a movie to my Xbox? That's fine, I'll just go download it instead. Same for music, PVR, et...

Intel quietly rolled out 7 new processor models this past weekend, 3 belonging to the desktop Core i5 family and 4 belonging to the mobile Celeron family. With this launch also comes Intel's first "P" models (E, K, S and T weren't enough, it seems!), which simply denotes that the processor does...

Writing a book? Not sure whether to go the publisher vs. self-publish route? Don't know the benefits of either? James Altucher, an author who's dabbled a bit in both, has written a great article over at TechCrunch that can help clear a lot up before making your decision. While the focus of the...

It's probably better if you choose a time to be honest. I'll just be there.

When I first learned of Nintendo naming its current-gen console the "Wii", I did a quadruple take. I then had to look at the calendar and make sure that it wasn't April 1. When that wasn't the case, I figured Wii was just a codename- because no company would be that foolish to name their product...

For as long as Facebook has existed, so has the rumor that the company is about to go public. Late last week, the Wall Street Journal topped off this rumor by saying that it could happen as early as this coming Wednesday, with Morgan Stanley acting as the underwriter. The company is currently...

Think that the Web is equal for all? Not quite. While countries with great access to the Internet move towards creating content-heavy websites and services that require ever faster connections, there exists even more countries that would simply like a stable and reliable Internet connection to...
