I live and work in Utah. I have seen a lot of parents put a game back on the shelf once we explain to them what the M-rating is and why games have earned that rating. It happens on the floor, and it happens at the registers, and I have yet to see one of those parents' children do anything but whine and plead... …

I have worked for GameStop since 2011. The seven-day satisfaction guarantee allows our customers to try out a pre-owned game and see if they like it; if not, they're welcome to bring the game back and exchange it for something else, or get a refund (the receipt is required). Most people don't use it because they…

No, more like they think users are too dumb to know how to navigate an interface with options. It's a nod to the iPhone/iPad way of doing things: more icons, less clutter, etc. Sad thing is, this is a COMPUTER version of the application, and shouldn't limit the end-user the way it does. But then again...Launchpad…

But they've been taking features away since iTunes 9.x; album artwork vanished with version 10!

The things I miss the most from the List View sidebar of yore is the ability to see connected devices and shared libraries on the network, and then go right to them by clicking on them. Why did Apple take this away? It's not in the new list views; they're all media-type specific and don't show any of that anymore.

There comes a point in ever program's life when it has become too much of a "spaghetti coded," "patchworked" application, and needs to be re-coded from scratch. iTunes is definitely showing its age, and given the (lack of) speed at which it runs, it should be re-written — especially as there is now so much…

There's also UltraMon; I love the way it extends the taskbar onto the additional monitors as well, putting icons for applications on the taskbar section on the monitor the window is on.

The Alien franchise is my favorite film series, and I will state categorically, Fincher's entry into the series is my absolute favorite. I agree with every point you made, and add his deft handling of the relationship between Ripley and Clemens, and between Ripley and Dillon, are what made this the standout in the…

The film's focus on human relationships is precisely what makes it — unapoligetically — my favorite film of the franchise, and really made me a fan (and believer — I remember thinking "what could a music video director know about doing a film like this" at the time) of Fincher from that point forward.

Chill out, Rick. The Windows vs. Mac battle ended a long time ago... neither side won because there was no point to the conflict in the first place, and most of the combatants grew up into mature human beings who realized they were wasting a lot of time an effort on a non-issue.

I dunno... made me laugh... Maybe you're sense of humor needs a "brightness" control...

My passion is DJing, and I've been told I'm quite good at it. Unfortunately, as one major circuit promoter told me the day after the best gig (and night) of my life, and right after he complimented me on my set: "you're too old, too fat, and too ugly for me to put you on a poster and expect to sell tickets."

I worked for Apple through two recent iPhone launches (not this one). I saw, time and time again, how groups of Asians would come into the store with cash, and buy phones off-contract. At first, it was always GSM phones (AT&T, T-Mobile), then when the unlocked phones came out, that was all they wanted. The first…

I'll likely put off buying an iPhone 6 Plus until the JB is available for iOS 8. There are too many tweaks I use (Calendar for Lockscreen, exKey, Cylinder, to name a few) to make a phone without these as useful to me.

Well, if you're using Google 'products' and 'services' they've already got you on a collar and leash, so...

Looks like he's taken Techjango's Darkmatter Xbox 360 laptop and stuffed an XB1 in it instead (http://www.techjango.com/collections/xb…). I know they were working on making an XB1 laptop too, but this looks like the exact same design, which is interesting because the Techjango guys put the plans for their build up on…

Wow...very nice. The vocalist reminds me a bit of Lauren Hill (and won't I be a bit embarrassed if it actually is her...). It's amazing to me how he could look at and listen to all this disparate material, and yet conceive of something so cohesive and beautiful...

Working real well, actually. I don't miss Google one little bit, and I daresay the more people I tell about their unethical practices, the more folks I know who abandon their "products" as well.

Well, I must be the only person in the Apple-verse who didn't get the album downloaded. It shows up as "Purchased" when I go look at it in the Store, but I can't find it anywhere in my library; it's not even in the "Purchased" page in iTunes that shows all the other stuff I've bought and downloaded...

It's the BPM, coupled with the careless/easy feel of the melodies; it just puts you in a great and creative state of mind. I coded for 14 years, and used to listen to it all the time while coding, and while writing fiction as well.
