I couldn't agree more! To a brighter 2012. *cheers* :D

This is why I feel Thunderbolt will be exclusive to higher-end products, motherboards and notebooks, for quite some time. For the regular consumer, Thunderbolt offers no benefit whatsoever over USB 3.0, but it costs a lot more to invest in. Thunderbolt won't be for standard peripherals like...

We've talked quite a bit in the past about overpriced cables that are just needless. Most often, a $100 cable will work just as well as a $3 one, quite literally, yet many people with padded pockets continue to get suckered in. There are of course certain scenarios where a more expensive cable...

With the advent of social services like Facebook and Twitter, the idea of what's "owned" by either the service or the person has been often debated. When your former employer is behind the questioning, however, things can get really murky, really fast. Case in point: the experience of Noah...

"The Big Picture" over at Boston.com is one of my favorite places on the Internet, because some of the best pictures shot around the world are posted there. Like always, the site has published a "The Year in Pictures", this year spanning three sections. It's worth looking through if you want to...

I'd rather a Core i7-3960X ;-)

I agree. I don't Google's policies or the people who head the company. Unfortunately, I've had to made sacrifices to go against my hate for the company because some of its services are just too convenient and work too well. There was a point when I'd be going out of my way and complicating...

When Intel launched its Thunderbolt connector this past spring with the help of Apple and its MacBook Pro refresh, it was difficult to tell what sort of future the technology had. Part of the reason for this was its exclusivity to Apple hardware, with no definitive release date for PCs running...

It's that time of year again where the folks over at Bit-Tech roundup the best mods of the year and pit them against each other to find the "best". I admit that I don't make it a point to go out and see what mods are being worked on, but without fail I am in awe every time I look at these...

Since Boxee's first public launch in early 2010, it has become one of the most popular choices for those looking to turn their PC into a media center. The reasons are simple: it's feature-packed, works well and has potential to rid your cable TV. But later that same year when the company teamed...

If I took 800 words from another website and added 19,200 words to it, no, I didn't create it. I took it and added upon it / improved it.

I disagree. Taking an old engine and rebuilding it isn't "creating" it. It's using it as a base and building atop it. I'm done with this debate regardless, it's pointless.

You have gotta love this. Warner Bros, a company that works its hardest to thwart piracy, has been accused of knowingly allowing a knock-off Louis Vuitton handbag to be used in the movie Hangover II: In a complaint filed Thursday in Manhattan, luxury goods maker Louis Vuitton accused Warner...

From Wikipedia: WebKit would not exist if not for KHTML, so how is that an Apple "creation"? Apple does well taking code from others and improving it, and there's nothing wrong with that. But to say that WebKit is Apple's "creation" is offensive to anyone who knows otherwise. If I took the...

It's things like this that makes me hate people. There are people starving in some parts of the world, but here, people risk getting themselves killed before Christmas and then after Christmas with all the sales because they're so important. Let's not forget mention Black Friday, Cyber Monday...

No words, just click on this article and then the picture: http://gizmodo.com/5871111/wahhhh-these-horrible-people-didnt-get-what-they-wanted-for-christmas

Apple didn't create anything related to WebKit except the name. The company took the open-sourced KHTML (KDE) project, forked it, and got a bunch of other developers in on the action. As Wikipedia states: WebKit was originally derived by Apple Inc. from the Konqueror browser's KHTML software...

When Microsoft launched its Bing search engine in 2009, it seemed few believed that Microsoft had what it took to go head-to-head with the all-mighty Google, but as it is today, Bing has experienced some major success. There was once a time when Mozilla, which is partnered with Google, suggested...

Nikon a couple of months ago announced its first "1" series compact cameras, designed to give its customers DSLR-like qualities in a point-and-shoot-like form-factor. At first glance, both the J1 and V1 in fact look like point-and-shoots, but upon using one, the gap between either or is blatant...

This is a simple question, but a good one. What is it about Apple's Safari browser that is holding it back from mass adoption? The first Windows release occurred long before Google Chrome's existence, and for all intents and purposes, both are fast, competent offerings. Yet, Chrome came out in...
