Again I’m in he boat of I play some games for a couple hours on the weekend and that’s usually it. I use a laptop for work and life (bills, research, etc.) Gaming just isn't a huge deal for me in life any more (as a teen I totally was upgrading the PC every six months). I fit the console mold now. By something that…

See, I was trying to get out of the every year or so upgrade something cycle. PS4 was $350 once, done. The graphics look great and I'm happy. VR would be $400 or so this fall, done. That's what I wanted, not $750+ computer and then $500+ VR set. I'm ok if PlayStation VR will work with the current ps4 and as long as…

Damn!! And I just finally bought one about two and a half months ago!! I figured I was good for another year at LEAST if not two or three! That's the selling point of consoles. AND I specifically bought it over the Xbox because of PlayStation VR... And now I have to buy a new PS4? >.<

Ironically if recent history is any indication Apple would protect your data and refuse to snitch to your insurance or anything à la Apple V FBI iPhone.

Or for this damn wonderful movie to be on Netflix instant or Amazon Instant >.<

Anyone glowing over there yet? We’re still good over here in North Richland ;)

It’s a lot of over blown bullshit. This could have been reported without the scare tactics and instead just the facts. A former coworker of mine works out there (actually think he does some of the tank transfers via a control center, though have no idea if he’s worked specifically on this tank. Either way, he’s…

I don't think selective breeding would be regulated... They could potentially have got to this point by growing hundreds or thousands of generations of this crop and only allowing the ones that showed decreased browning to be part of the next generation. I suspect the end result would have a genome that was very…

While I think AutoPilot is probably the best commercial system out there right now, I would constantly be stressed out when it was running. I don’t know how well it lets you know when it’s in control vs when it needs you to take over, but man that would stress me out. I need like a five second heads up knowing that I…

And I doubt that’ll be solar, it’ll probably be gas / diesel and we’ll probably ready about people dying from asphyxiation because they have them inside or not vented properly or something.

Ice takes a rather large amount of energy to make. That’s ok if you’ve got a supply of electricity but if you have rolling blackouts or are told electricity was shut off for six hours every day and to keep the fridge/freezer closed during that time to try to keep food from going bad, “just drink ice water” becomes…

Did it change in 4 months? I’m not saying this change should never happen (though I’m not totally sold on solar yet, at least at the home scale, it has a lot of cost and maintenance with it). What I’m saying now is if they project in the next 90 to 120 DAYS of having an energy issue then you can’t just say “ok, fine,…

You seriously think that within three to four months most of the residential homes in SoCal could purchase and install solar panels AND wire them to the grid AND make sure there was enough energy storage in place for night time hours?! That's insane. It would take YEARS, even if people had rolling blackouts and if…

Then it’s no problem if everyone has that, turn the plant off tomorrow. Call BS on the blackouts... Oh, you mean that isn’t already in place? Can they get there before July/August when they have peak energy demand? Because this isn’t about “what ifs” in the future, this is about if they have enough other energy…

Sounds like they should just shut the whole damn thing down then and let everyone calling bullshit use their power. If SoCal doesn't need the natural gas power then why have it, then it off randomly in the next 30 days and not tell anyone that it's going to happen. No one will notice it sounds like. No big deal. Maybe…

Apple could spin this to actually continue to paint them in a good light. The worry was never about getting the information for the government, it was about HOW they were going to do it. Now they can keep hammering home that they don’t want to custom create a back door for the government when they’ve just shown that…

So it also mentions portable electronic device. So I guess iPad, iPod, iPhone, portable sat nav unit, dash cam, digital audio recorder for someone dictating their thoughts, Apple Watch, digital camera (you know, for those non-wireless selfie moments...), Nintendo 3DS, etc would need to be analyzed. This is going to be…

Also, what if the phone is legally in someone else's name? Would a company be ok with you handing over a business phone that's required to be encrypted because of sensitive information for an accident in a personal vehicle during off hours? Would a friend be ok with that? Can you legally submit a friends device or…

Will they be able to see if there is any food wrappers in the car? Or if you were looking at your car navigation system or the radio? They all might be lower risk then cell phone, but I wonder how much of that is because of under reporting. Would this trigger a false positive if you happen to get a text message within…

That might be less of a sure thing then some items. Since your spot in line doesn't actually equal your delivery order it'll be a little tough knowing if you were actually in the first 1,000 orders or if you're really order number 25,000 because previous owners ordered (and get preference) or more people plan on…
