How about making it less convoluted to enter sweepstakes and finally make Tom's Hardware HTTPS secure.

The main difference when it comes to security is that an Android device may never get updates to their flawed OS and Apple will have a quick fix sent to all their supported phones with over-the-air updates. I have a Galaxy Note 2 backup phone that never received an update passed Kitkat and I...

After enlarging the sample photos above, I preferred the iPhone 6s Plus picture that was taken 23 minutes after sunset. I really didn't like any of the pictures taken 37 minutes after sunset. I generally will delete pictures that come out that dark.

On a late 2011 MacBook Pro, with an SSD and 8GB of memory that runs both Yosemite and Windows 8.1 perfectly through Boot Camp, I upgraded Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Windows 10 runs fast but has some glitches because Apple didn't upgrade Boot Camp for the Late 2011 MacBook model. There is no...

I also encountered a problem moving past build 10130 on a virtual machine. I also noticed that the build update frequency kept resetting to slow each time you checked the setting. I was looking forward to the resizable start menu that was in a previous build and also an improvement to the...

The last time I checked the build, the resizable start menu feature that many were asking for was still MIA. Many people who got used to the Windows 8.1 full screen start menu wanted the option to resize the start menu to their liking. Before build 10014 I would widen or narrow the start menu to...

Are they working to add Street View in order to compete with Google Maps? I mostly relied on Navigon for directions but would run Google Maps for street view information. That makes not only identifying your destination quicker but you can check for parking options too.

No matter which version you buy, Microsoft promises the tablet look and feel for their operating systems and desktop programs. Office 2013 made the retro look of tablet/phone GUI become a modern choice for powerful desktops. I would have preferred file compatibility of tablet/phone apps with...

Since Windows 8, Microsoft started making their desktop software look like tablet apps. Even though I am getting used to it, I would have preferred rich, colorful, and less flat looking desktop programs with file compatibility of the tablet/phone apps.

Windows 10 will be a hit if Microsoft would only listen to the feedback of the users. I haven't checked lately but the majority of feedback is asking for Windows 7 start menu functionality with resizable space for the live tiles. This includes having All Programs back with a subfolder called All...

Universal Apps is a great concept but I hope they fix the Start button on Windows 10 to really get me excited to use Windows 10. They have not listened to all the different threads of people complaining that they want an "All Programs" menu button to function like in Windows 7, with subfolders...

If only the world around me could be quiet enough each time I talk to my phone to avoid mistakes in translation. Background noise reduction is improving but still an issue when people around you are talking. Even if Cortana becomes the best of the lot, if you can't change the default voice...

It would be nice if they had a case designed for it with sealed liquid cooling for both processor and graphics card. Without heat issues, you could overclock the expensive processor and graphics card to make this an interesting choice for a custom box. I like the USB 3.1 support and the M.2...

Now I am going to wait for some consumer friendly news outlet to digest the 500+ rules to give an opinion on the overall effect. I would definitely fall asleep reading it and would miss important legal terminology. I would like to know if there are loop holes or what they will claim to be an...

If we had true competition then most of us would have fiber to the door by now. The employees that run the backbone of the internet already stated that they have the bandwidth available for a speedy internet in the USA but the local ISP's were not upgrading their equipment and were causing a...
