I'm inclined to agree, but not the 360 version. Do users really benefit from all of the added services (cloud backup and "tuners") in this version? If not, the Internet Security suite would be the upper limit of what I would recommend for users. My opinion is split between Norton and BitDefender; the former for…

Barring a boot with multiple tabs present (less than 10), browser slow down has never been an issue of mine, luckily. I'm not heavy on add-on usage either (around 5 on Chrome, one or none on others) due to me trying to preserve clean states for development, so that might help, haha.

Anecdotal evidence, but on OSX 10.9.3, I lose about half an hour of battery life using Chrome compared to Safari. This is on the late 2013 MacBook Pro retina. No extensive testing done, mind you.

If you have the option of using IE11, then I'd recommend that over FF, assuming you have no browser specific requirements. My reasons: battery life and speed. Unless I have development work, upon which I'll have to use pretty much all three, I generally stick to native browsers.

I got a migraine trying to read that first line. Huzzah.

That'll hearken back to the Authors Guild v. Google days - it'll be interesting to see how various sites respond to this.

I was pleasantly surprised to see this feature Sunday night when I searched for mango salsa recipes. It's a nice convenience - shaving off a few seconds from looking for a specific site, or clicking related videos when the recipes prove too difficult. This would be pretty similar to what they did with Wikipedia…

Flipbpard has quite the different implementation in mind. It's great if you want an assorted list of feeds, whereas Unread is more for picking specific ones (or rather, importing, as users likely already have existing feeds).

Sure doesn't feel like a coincidence!

As an avid user of Reeder before Unread, I have to put my support behind Unread. The in-app browser works much better in regards to being able to render the different feeds I have; with Reeder, I had relegated to opening articles in either Safari or Chrome in order to get certain site elements to load properly (eg…

The 8GB RAM configuration is available on the 256GB storage options and higher, which is $1299 at the lowest point. It's right there in their specs chart.

Considering their methods are quite similar, I wouldn't be surprised that they both utilize relatively high levels of RAM. As far as to whether one uses more than the other, I'd be interested in studies that suggest the claim.

That's good stuff, I haven't used them since the XP era.

I've never used ABP myself (been using the "indie" Ad Block one instead), but on Ad Block, there are additional blacklists that are provided straight from the extension options that you can activate. Perhaps an idea for a future article is a research project of other third-party blacklists. :)

If I understand correctly, the overhead caused by ABP is due to the blank CSS injections - the caveat here is that the ad resources are still loaded in some cases; in other cases, ABP also has the functionality to block resources from being loaded (their blacklists). This is why NoScript would effectively reduce…

Barring a blacklist compiled somewhere already, could you not selectively block them? I know, I know... all that manual work. :P

Use camelcamelcamel.com and set up price alerts for whatever products you'd like. Should be faster (and give you better chances) than waiting for these aggregate posts.

I'm under the impression that the poster just starting trolling everyone after the first few replies.

No Pokemon Trainer, since they axed the multi-character characters.

The "asshole" is strong in this one.
