I bet it was an executive decision. The game was already delayed. Twice. They probably decided to push out what they had for PC just so they wouldn't have to announce another delay. For the PC version only, of course. While simultaneou

They are hellbend to teach PC users that games shall cost 60 bucks as a general pricetag, apparently. So even if they do sales, they just bundle it up with some trivial stuff just to hike up the price so it will once again come down to 60

They better not dare making this Win10 exclusive and hosing people who plan to stay on Win7 for the foreseeable future. People were all up in arms when facebook entered yet there was never an overlapping issue that would mean the Rift wou

Woah, that'd be a lot of tweets. Even reddit with its 10000 char limit per comment has loads of comment trains if you want to store a sizable amount of info that way. With twitters 140 char limit, that would be a huge amount of tweets.

With google being all about data mining and getting as much information on you as they possibly can, I am having the hardest time believing that google will introduce a payment system that cannot track peoples individual shopping behavior.

Judging by in what context I have read about Hola so far, I guess the biggest use case is to circumvent geo block to access things like Netflix. But yeah, ever since I learned that I am acting as an exit node for others I have stopped usi

Only if they didn't sacrifice the mag safe in favor of it like they did on the 13 inch. The mag safe was one of the best inventions for MacBooks ever and it is sad to see how nonchalantly they retired it on the 13 inch. And I doubt the

In that regard I would love it if Apple would announce OS11 at dubdub. That would be too funny seeing MS standing there with their Win10 which they said would be the last Windows version.

I like to call it "consolification" as it seems apparent to me that this is where MS is heading with their OS. Not long and Xbox and Windows will be identical. And sadly, it will be the Xbox that has the dominant genes, UI wise at

So, once again, focus on mobile, ignore the desktop. Cause that worked so well in the recent past for MS, didn't it? Guess some people just won't take a hint.

Especially in Germany. I wonder if no one thought about the insurance companies when they thought this up. I bet they might have something to say about all this. Heck, when you sign up for insurance they want to know if your car is parked i

The title is a bit misleading. The sports watch edition starts at 350. What I would consider "high end" are the ones going from 800 to 1000, I think. What this title suggests are "High End" at 10.000, I would consider &q

Except that the German system by large does not use precedence at all. At best prior cases can be an aid in an ongoing court case. At worst, prior cases are ignored completely and only what the law says will be taken into account by the cou
