The line in the article about the government dictating subsidy rates and networks is crap. I don't want them to do either one of those, and they aren't planning to so far as i can tell. I want them to stop telling me which carrier i must use rega…

What about that USB "bug" that seems quasi-intentional? It should not have taken this long to fix that, and it is a serious problem. They should not have waited this long to fix it, Microsoft would have released some randomly numbered KB update by n…

Quote: Psystar still maintains that Apple's code within Mac OS X to verify the presence of Apple hardware, which forces a kernel panic or infinite loop if the test fails, "does not constitute a technological copyright protection measure" or "effect…

I have to take issue with the claim that OS X merely crashes on non-apple systems. This is not evidence that no copy protection exists, this is evidence that the firmware is different, and that the kernel expects to find certain structures that simp…

There shouldn't be any difference at all. HD is not worth more than SD, certainly not from a piracy point of view. This is the content industry pretending there is more value in HD than there actually is, and overreacting to protect it in an ineffec…
