Some Senator's kid maxed out their data plan in a few days and now they're writing an angry customer service letter. I really hope the outcome is that cell companies are forced to get rid of caps but we all know how much money tel

The article seems to ignore why many people buy a console over a pc (aside from price). When you buy an xbox or playstation you know that it should play all of the games released for the next 5 years or so. Coming out with an xbox 1.5 or xb

The Independent Games Festival gives awards out to plenty of games no one has ever heard of. Even the Game Awards, the most Oscar-like award show that video games have, gives awards to smaller, more "artsy" titles. For instance &q

A simple trick: For 11 x a 2-digit number you can simply take the first digit of the 2-digit number then the 2 digits of the number added together then the last digit of the 2-digit number. Ex: 11 * 12 = 132 or 1, 1+2, 2. 11 * 45 = 495 or 4

Is there any reason, aside from the $1.7 billion from Bernie Madoff, as to why the amount seized has risen so much in the last 10 years? Was there some case that made it much easier for law enforcement to seize assets this way?

Imagine there's a place you want to get to along with a lot of other people. It starts as a nice queue and is pretty orderly but then some people start pushing in and trying to jump ahead in the line. Other people see this and try the

It's funny how commercial Banksy's art has become. People track down his art, rip it out of walls and sell it for millions of dollars to the very people that the art is mocking. I like what Max Tempkin said in regards to selling p

Sports photographers also take many shots in rapid succession. I bet you could clone the background from a shot a half second before the one in the article.

I cut some holes in the box it came in and am using that as a case. It's not pretty but it sits at the back of a shelf so no one sees it anyway. I feel it embodies the hacker mentality of the pi.

I used the rift with the full head tracking this year at PAX East and felt no motion sickness at any point. A lot of the issues in 2013 were fixed when they started tracking full head movement instead of just rotation. Of course I don'
