    Windows 10 Creators Update Privacy Settings Differ Based On Upgrade Path

    "... let the operating system tailor ads based on your interests..." Uhh. What ads? This is supposed to be an OS! "This is a small decision, to be sure, but it still helps to highlight Microsoft's renewed commitment to user privacy." Haha. So benevolent, MS! You know what would really respect...

    Microsoft Opens Up About Privacy In Windows 10 Creators Update

    Is this sponsored content? Why are you advocating for these horrible design choices? Anything less than allowing users to opt-out of data collection all together is unacceptable. Not allowing users to control which updates are installed, when they're installed, and not providing information on...

    Microsoft’s Delay Of This Month’s Security Patch Bundle Makes Little Sense

    The lack of transparency and abundance of boneheaded decisions from this company in the past 10 years is getting ridiculous. Thank goodness for Microsoft that there's no solid competitor for them right now, because anyone competent would've been able to shut them down.

    Microsoft Approves Thai Government's Root Certificate, Which Could Enable Spying

    This isn't surprising. This is completely in line with Microsoft's new business model, which is selling surveillance capabilities to governments. Selling access to systems and networks is extremely profitable. The US feds alone spend billions in exchange for having backdoors built into systems...

    HTC Design VP Jumps Ship For Google’s Daydream

    Let's see if Google breaks with tradition and actually provides meaningful support and long-term development of this product. Looks like they're already keeping with tradition of designing ugly products. It looks like a cheap carpet.

    Microsoft Adds (Yet) Another Way To Control Security Features In Windows 10

    Sounds like nothing more than a UI update, while still refusing to give up any control of the OS to users. That's really all that users are clamoring for, but Microsoft does not believe that users should be trusted with their own pc's. I wonder if the new security screen will be pestering users...
