The possibilities with VR are terrific, but there is no way that will ever come close to actually BEING in Hawaii. Virtual snorkeling would never compare with real snorkeling. Neither would virtual shave ice eating.

Well, I hooked my still-functioning 3DO console to my 106 inch projection theater through S-Video (thankfully my receiver has that input), and while the pixels were as big as my thumb (exaggerating a tad), I had great fun playing Road Rash on the huge screen.

He was pretty spot-on. My house has cheap flat screens everywhere, photos and videos of pretty much anything are instantly accessible, information is nearly limitless, and my gadgets already recognize my voice with startling accuracy (certainly from the perspective of 1987 me). Whatever frustrations we have left with…

I agree with Google on this one. I've seen many examples of excessive reporting requirements in my own industry. It's too much data and the government won't know what to do with it. But once they collect it, they will be required to release it publicly, and that data will become fodder for any opponents of the…

This is proof enough that I'll be playing video games until the day I die. I'm grown up and have a family and a busy life, and I don't play a ton, but there will always be something new and cool to draw me back.

Give me a nice big display with Carplay and Android's equivalent and take all the proprietary, buggy, laggy crap out. Forget the 4G - I'll use tethering on my mobile device. I do not want to pay extra for any more proprietary car computers that universally suck.

If you get anywhere near the number 8, you will get to experience the car's secret "spy hunter mode" (where it drops an oil slick on the highway... plus random engine parts).

IMO if it's not a decent or great car then it's a shit car. It's 2014, where even many entry-level vehicles are pretty great, and consumers should not be so forgiving of half-baked efforts like this. Anyone who buys a car like this is letting themselves be robbed by GM, and that's not right.

They are doing what any fierce competitor does: trying to convince the public that everything Microsoft does is stupid, whether it truly is or not.

But the graphics of the new generation machines are massively better than the old ones. Most games may be 800p instead of 1080, but old games were in the 400-500 range. Plus, new games have sharper textures, more complex shadow effects, better anti-aliasing, and higher framerates, to name a few factors.

What would happen if we forced this issue is that game designers would start prioritizing pixels over shaders, reflections, anti-aliasing, and other effects, which we don't really want. They are not just going to release an Xbox One Point Five with a faster GPU and still charge $399 for it.

Sorry, but as a manager of an office of 20, I completely disagree. I need my people here collaborating, motivating each other, and working on projects as a cohesive team. Working remotely on occasion to knock out a report without distraction is fine, but for people who complete projects in teams, you really need to…

This is why I stick with consoles. Not because I can't afford a powerful PC. I can. Not because I can't build my own. I can and I have. Because I don't want to deal with the aggravation, the hours of research, the troubleshooting, the endless tweaking of graphics settings to get the right balance of frame rate and…

Sweet. If only the exchange rate were a bit better. Maybe it will be by the time I get back over there.

Who do I have to bribe to get an hour in that bad boy???

The two engines on modern airplanes are MUCH more reliable than the four engines in 70's era planes when 4 engines were the norm.

"Cleared for immediate takeoff" was probably what ATC said to him before he pulled that. Because another aircraft was on approach. It's the equivalent of mashing the gas pedal to merge on the freeway.

Be glad he was paying attention and made the right choice. Those Asiana pilots that crashed at SFO last year implicitly trusted their autothrottle and ignored obvious warning signs until it was too late.

Nah, it doesn't last long enough to have that effect on most people.

Yeah, that pilot is handling that bitch in a major way. I just love watching this.
