    Taking SimCity Offline Took Over Six Months

    Wow, they must be REALLY bad programmers if they didn't properly encapsulate their code to allow this change to be made with one or two lines. And even if that were the case, changing hundreds of lines should be pretty easy to automate if you're not an idiot. This tells me that EA charges top...

    StarCraft Universe Kickstarter Closes with Nearly $85K

    <quote>Where fools pay so someone else can make money</quote> Do you realize that this is exactly how venture capital funds nearly everything you have ever paid for in your entire life? It seems like you're seeing how the sausage is made and it upsets you.

    No LAN Support or Consoles for StarCraft II

    astrodudepsu1. The LAN thing is a legitimate complaint. For a game that was really made famous for it's popularity at LAN events, it seems that Blizzard is forgetting their roots so to speak. Oh they're not forgetting their roots! I think they know their roots got them some nice laurels to rest...

    HP's Web Enabled Printer Doesn't Need a PC

    @otaku tech guy: "Great gift for your computer challenged relatives tho..." Eh I'm not really sure it's even that good for them either...

    Opera: Our New Browser Will Change the Web

    sykozisI'm more concerned with the security holes that this will cause. Not the ones it "might" cause...but the ones it definitely WILL cause. Having a browser that effectively turns your computer into a server is going to open up a LOT of security holes that, if anyone actuallyt cares to...

    Opera: Our New Browser Will Change the Web

    cielmerlionIronic that to see the video you have to go to Youtube, one of the nasty middle men they seek to replace. Yes, you are correct. Anybody who disagreed with you is full of crap and they need to learn how to research something before they make bullshit comments that mislead other users...

    Opera: Our New Browser Will Change the Web

    The level of stupidity here is AMAZING!!! I just downloaded and tried it. It's okay. Most of the concerns raised prove that not only did you not try it out (something that takes all of 5 minutes), but you didn't really bother to read anything about it either. Opera hosts the HTTP server. You...

    Researchers Find Way to Put 1.6 TB on a DVD

    Oh and i forgot: to those of you talking about how it better be rewritable because you won't have 1tb of data to write in one shot, they're not talking about dvds you can burn at home, I'm pretty sure we're talking something that gets pressed professionally. Additionally, to those of you...

    Researchers Find Way to Put 1.6 TB on a DVD

    Wow what a bunch of idiotic comments... To the haters calling BS: what they're describing is perfectly reasonable if you have even a basic understanding of how optical media works. There are pits and rises that count as 1s and 0s. That's how it works now. The additional 'dimensions' are...
