Unless something else triggers it to turn off before you've been woken by the alarm. If they didn't think this feature through enough, then maybe it's not worth the risk right now.

Yea, screw other people!

did Yahoo link you to this article? You seem like one of their types.

You should probably also add that (a) this was brought to Nest purchasers' collective attention a while ago, (b) there are no actual reports of injuries/death caused by the problem, (c) the "problem" is only really a problem if you're using the "silence" feature (i.e., frantically waving right in front of the unit) at…

Straight Out of Cupertino

ReadyBoost made sense when RAM was expensive and HDs were slow, but it's been a while since desktops were limited to <2GB RAM. Windows 7 & 8 were retooled significantly to work better on lesser hardware. OSX, UNIX, Linux already have efficient memory swapping so it's unneeded. As always max out your RAM first and…

As you can see its not very convenient. You could end up with scratches on your laptop, a broken USB port, broken USB drive or all three.

The "raid 0" trick will only protect half the data. It's not striped at the bit level, it's striped in chunks that are at least 512 bytes but can be megabytes. Granted, this will make most files unusable, but I wouldn't consider it secure.

How about why so many people in the MCU look like Stan Lee?

As long as they keep the entertainment system totally separate and keep Microsoft the hell away from everything else. "Your brakes are not responding. Would you like to close Brakes.exe?"

Oh, come on. In before someone posts it:

I can put a little money toward my in-car entertainment system by selling off the turn signals I won't be using any more.

Worth noting that another reasonable alternative for many people (depending on how old/obsolete their system is) may be to trade in the XP system for $100 off a new system at Best Buy. Appears it will be in the form of a gift card for a minimum of $25 + a coupon for $75 off your next PC purchase (not clear if that…

So saying that Apple exists is a "shill" now? You people need help. Serious help.

People are saying "blah blah I don't want OkCupid to tell me what browser to use just because of one employee's opinion blah blah!", then what is the point on boycotting? Why not boycott OkCupid? And why not click the button that ignores the message?
