I heard about the Sprout yesterday and its nagged me since I woke up this morning. I've seen a few tech pundits praise the computer as the future but I can't help but feel like this is 3-4 levels removed from the problem its actually trying to solve. While the popular opinion, possibly paid for, is that this product is...
My grandma just bought an iPad and had an internet service set up so she can communicate with her kids/grandchildren better. I've been trying to help her understand how to use email, Facebook and the differences between texting, iMessages, Facebook instant messages etc, but without being there to show her hands on, I d...
To anyone who has been using or recommending OpenDNS: If you have a dynamic IP address (you probably do), or if you use a VPN service, your browsing could be censored at ANY TIME. I've been recommending OpenDNS for years, and I've been using it myself for longer. It seems like a good alternative to spotty ISP DNS s...
So, here's my situation. My Facebook (which I could really care less about) and my gmail account have both been hacked. The only solution I could think of is to try to change my password, but in order to do so, these sites need to send your new password info to my alternate e-mail. This would be an easy fix, except I h...
Because I believe in giving props where due, I'm sharing this experience... Last night, around 10 PM, our AT&T U-Verse Internet went out. I was peeved, and called tech support, who then transferred me to Tier 2 tech support. They then explained that it was a regional outage. At this point, me and my roomates were fairl...
We read a lot about Google's data-gathering practices, from storing searches for years to never deleting Gmail messages and more. When all of this data is looked at together, it can form a pretty detailed picture of a group of people -- or even an individual. A lot of people say they are privacy-conscious, but then the...
I work for a company that sells a monitoring solution that it's trying to compete with big players like EMC2, TIVOLI, etc. In the past it was easy to assign a value to the monitoring agents we develop based on the size of the implementation and the customer requeriments. Nowadays, we have to start selling little ready-...
I was looking at a help desk request today that involved our web proxy server and ran across something that made me laugh. There's a built-in policy called "Block Except During Lunch (12-1)"...I figure it's set up to block sites that fall into the "entertainment" category, except over the lunch hour. I hopped in just...
That's right, Filezilla stores your credentials for everything you log into in a plain text XML file. Don't believe me? Go to Start > Run, type in "%appdata%\Filezilla\" and check out either recentservers.xml or filezilla.xml My main problem with this is the fact that it doesn't give you any warning that it's doin...
So I've seen reddit pull some amazing things out of the hive mind, and I need that power now- I've got a periodically changing set of files that need to be placed onto USB drives to be given away. But copy and pasting fifty drives at a time gets VERY annoying. I'm sure theres got to be a way to tell some program that...
Was told by a friend to post this tip. Some electronics sold during Black Friday are made with super-cheap parts so they can be sold at a cheaper rate just for Black Friday deals. Manufacturers will create a model specifically to be sold during that weekend and no other time of the year. Basically you'll never see ...
I've seen around reddit that Flash will be killed off in order to make way for HTML5, but I'm really not seeing a connection between the two, probably because I don't know a whole lot about HTML5. Is HTML5 suited for animation similar to flash? I've tried out the YouTube HTML5 beta and I still don't know how I feel a...
So I got a brilliant idea for a science fiction. It's going to be based on the spread of a powerful machine intelligence through the modern computing infrastructure of the world. Think about the spread of Skynet in the Terminator movies... I'm planning on extrapolating some of my future world based on where the best/...
Apple doesn't like to just 'implement a feature', they like to 'revolutionize' it. My Motorola RAZR had a "web browser"... except it didn't really. It was pure crap and nobody used it. What the iPhone web browser brought to the table was a fast, responsive browser that displayed the whole page quickly, introduced swi...
Let me start from the beginning. I have been a loyal T-Mobile customer since day one and have never ever had a single issue out of this service. It was always a pristine service carrier; great 3G coverage, excellent customer service, incredible phones, everything I wanted in a cell phone company. I have had maybe one...
Reddit, this is my first post and I need your help! I am in law school and have a project that requires me to realistically describe a computer system for a new law firm. I want the firm to be heavy on tech because it makes sense economically and ecologically. What I am asking from you is for some suggestions or hy...
The actual tech problem involves a computer that's about 5-6 years old. It's got a Celeron processor, and wasn't all that great even when it was new. The current users have no needs beyond playing in browser games (facebook, farmville, etc), email, and youtube. I've already done a complete reformat. I'm good at these...
Bell is offering me 3MB/s down, 1.5MB/s up over a "portable" hi-speed connection. The connection runs through the cell tower nearby, as I'm outside the coverage area for cable or ADSL. I'm technically outside the coverage area for the portable internet as well, but only by about 30 meters. I'm in British Columbia, Ca...
My mom has run her own business in our small town for two decades. She's had an online storefront since 1996, which now generates most of her business. This week, some asshat/group of asshats started flooding her domain with HTTP requests. Most of her business comes from the US, but the attackers are in other coun...
My wife was studying upstairs and she let out a yelp. As I started up she said "my laptop exploded." I said "stopped working, huh?" because she's pretty rough with it. She said "um, no...it really exploded." Took a second before I smelled it. Blasted out through the bottom and fried a whole in our comforter, didn...
So some asshat got ahold of my spam free email somehow and sent me, and many others, his "hotlist" of used cars. There were a hundred or so people cc'd. Now more than 100 people have my private email because of his stupid asshattery. He sent it all from a gmail account. I attempted to reply to everyone to let them...
Many of you lambast Apple for making certain decisions about the iPhone which you believe limits the things people can do with the device. A case in point recently has been the Flash demonstration on Froyo (Android) and the subsequent discussion; despite the demonstration of adding Flash to the browser clearly being th...
I found this book tucked away in a filing cabinet at work last week. It's called "Inside the Personal Computer" and it was published in 1984. No idea how long it has been there but it was in the same drawer as a copy of Q&A complete with 3 1/2" disks so it's been a while. Went online and found the review of the book ...
Gathering some kind-hearted volunteers, a few beers, and 15 pounds of construction paper, the members of the Open Source Democracy Foundation (OSDF) assembled the Valentines messages you gave us . All three very receptive and welcoming, but Franken’s staff truly LOVED the Valentines and assured us that the Senator w...
Not reddit itself, but its successor. The current conflicts at reddit are, at heart, due to the fact reddit is a business that has taken VC money and its investors want to see a return. The directors are making decisions that aren't in the best interest of the site in order to try and wring money from it. A lot of ha...
Economic systems evolve. Mercantilism evolved into capitalism. Capitalism is evolving into technostism. It was an inevitable development, actually. I find it akin to human evolution. From Australeopithecus (mercantilism) to Homo (capitalism) to Who-Knows-What (technostism). /r/Technostism is the trans/posthum...
Hey there everyone, I was just doing some budget stuff and as I typed my password, I realized I had mistyped and forgotten to capitalize a character. IT WAS ACCEPTED. I tested again to make sure. Yup. After testing by alternating the case of the characters in my password, I have come to a personal conclusion: ...
I just have to share my frustration a little, I don't have tons of money and I cant afford a $40 a month plan on my own. Ive always been part of a family plan and when other priorities are taken care of, I help when I can, but I could never sustain a plan solely on my own because I know just ONE month I wont be able to...
This got a lot of attention in another thread when i posted it to give someone tips so i thought id make a full thread about it. A lil about me and my background so you can see where i came from and how this can work for anyone. I dropped out of high school and never went to college. I got my GED and worked in sales ...
OK so I get Star Trek on Blu-ray from my girlfriend for Christmas. She was extra happy to push the free digital cop[y it came with. I rarely watch movies on my ipod and or computer but hey one less movie to transcode and backup. So I open the case later and find the Digital copy insert open it and see the familiar itun...
So I've been looking at purchasing a new macbook to replace my hp tablet pc (hp tx2-1275dx). I'm still in college, it's kind of expensive and although I like my tablet pc I would much rather have a mac. I did however have to send my tablet in for repairs and I was absolutely appalled at the quality of customer service ...
After Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg stated that people are used to and want less privacy in an interview: , I think we should prove him wrong. I propose that on this day, every year, we check out privacy settings and make sure our data is secure. I also want to raise awareness on Facebook "spywares", which is wha...
I work as an at-home VNC-based computer repairdude for the most notable repair company around. It's good work. However, because of my job, people I know in real life, and people they refer to me, they think that they can enjoy my services for free. Just as how a hooker isn't a hooker when she works for free, I ain't a ...
So I just read the post about blocking some of the websites… Everybody (or almost everybody) suggested to ban the ones that block users with ad blockers. Guys, let me tell you the publisher’s perspective here. Bear with me. So you’re sitting there at home thinking “I think I can give people something great. Somethi...
Little background: I work at a startup that is looking to integrate blockchain technology into voting systems. It has been shown that current voting technology is susceptible to large-scale hacking that can change election results at the local level.

Let me tell you all a tale of the absolute worst customer service I've ever received from an ISP. Let me preface this by saying I'm moving to a city of about 500 people in rural MN. This is my quest to get internet at the new home. I started with one of those sites where you enter a zip code and it gives you a list o...
I watched a bit of Johnny Mnemonic the other day, specifically the scene where he's walking through the hotel lobby and a TV screen changes channels to display a message just for him. It caused a bit of a revelation for me, as I realized that such a thing is now quite possible in today's society. Larger companies that ...
I was planning on buying a brand new Laptop, specifically for my work in Video game Creation (UDK and 3Ds Max... etc) I have been looking into getting the dell alienware M11x, however, knowing how these things go, I could probably find something cheaper and better around... So I decided to ask here (after numerous days...
I currently have an aging laptop that is over 4 years old, which I plan on replacing in the near future (about 3 months to a year). The laptop was mostly used for taking notes throughout college and for writing code when I'm away from my primary computer. I have graduated college, and therefore no longer have to take m...
I just don't get why our 4G throughput is so much lower than other countries. From what I understand, LTE, as a standard, is capable of speeds that far exceed WiMax and HSPA+, yet LTE is being sold as asymmetrical bandwidth (heavy on the downlink) and at speeds HSPA+ is theoretically capable of producing. For the sak...
43" Pioneer industrial plasma monitor. Model PDP-434CMX. I bought it from my roommate for $600 - couldn't figure out how to make it work with cable/dvd/video games but happily used it to watch DVDs through my computer. Had a friend look at it and try to convert it to HD component, but it wouldn't work. Went to the ...
As a frequent convention goer, I know how important the use of the various mobile card readers available on the market are to the artists, craftsmen, and general shop owners that hold booths to sell their goods. Cash is good and all, but I've seen it become much more common place for every booth owner to have a card re...
Where I live, there is only one internet provider and they do not offer an unlimited data plan. It's stupid and monopolistic and ridiculous. The highest data plan they do offer for home internet is 450 GB per month, which split between three college dudes, there's a lot of streaming that goes on. I complained to the co...
I'll start off by saying - I'm well aware of rss feeds, twitter, or blog posts, etc - for that matter even reddit/r/technology. What I am interested in is a more specific type of feed system that can send exact notifications when certain tech related products update. For example - I want a site like mytechnotificat...
Ignoring ANYTHING to do with money (more specifically, the fact that they are expensive computers, because I do agree that they charge too much), what the hell is up with this? Why oh WHY, do I get downvoted to hell, or berated for saying I use mac. The stereotypes are so fucking outdated, it's kind of funny. I con...

So, I think bandwidth caps are a good thing, they are a more accurate way of charging for a service. It seems no one else out there thinks this is so. I want to try to explain why I think it is so. Previously, when expressing this opinion, people have assumed that I must clearly be a right wing republican, or perhaps h...

I happened across an article (on reddit, of course) concerning Apple's [faulty MagSafe power adapters which represent a fire hazard]( As a MacBook owner, I set about trying to determine which models were affected as my MagSafe power adapter, too, was fraying. I contacted Apple's technical support department as recommen...
Note: I was writing about this experience for an English course, then realized how applicable it was in regards to SOPA. It might be tough for some to see why SOPA is such a big deal, hope this helps. As a soldier in Afghanistan I had the opportunity to experience many things that are uncommon to most westerners. My...
Hi tech gurus, So heres my situation: I got an used fat ps3, and after spending 60$ to get it fixed because of a red light, it broke down again after the 3 months ( no more guarantee from the technician ), so I decided to fix it myself and to my amazement I fixed it!

From reading [the thread about the guy with the stolen (or maybe not) laptop]( it seems a lot of people still haven't discovered Dropbox. Dropbox is an online backup/sharing site, which works by installing a small program on your computer, which will then watch a directory of your choosing and continually upload file...
Sorry if this is in the wrong subtopic. I first Port Forwarded my Linksys WRT300N router about a month ago to host a minecraft server with a few friends. It went very well without issues once i figured out how to do it (port 25565). Then Terraria came out, and a few of us bought that as well. So i set up a server, po...
Reddit, You should be very pleased with the results of the GoDaddy boycott. I am. As I'm sure you know, though, we must continue to boycott companies who support SOPA in order to have significant influence on what happens in congress. Any company is fair game, I suppose, but I've seen people advocate the boycott of...
Let's assume that despite all the protests, SOPA amazingly gets passed in HoR, passed through Obama (if he's still in office when SOPA gets passed), and declared constitutional in the supreme court (despite how outrageous it would be). What would be we do then? All our efforts for naught? Now, from what I'm understan...

I love my mouse but I know it is getting on in years.

So, I dropped my iPhone 3gs into a cup of water yesterday. Everything seems to work on it except for the screens backlight. I've taken it apart and put it in front of a fan for the last 10 hours.

I was recently assigned to a project as an internally-outsourced developer. The project I'm going to work on is for a British financial institution.

I'm seeing a lot of hate for RIM and Blackberry lately because they've stated that they're handing over personal data that relates to the recent London riots.

So when avoiding doing maths, I decided to do some maths.

After reading the article, I decided to do some research. If they did it, who else does? It turns out, that Most antivirus products do this too. One may think: That's ok, they're a security company. That's what I pay for. But they cannot do this, it undermines what SSL is meant for: A secure end to end connection. ...

Hey guys. My bad timing has resulted in my 4 person household being Internet-less for 4 days while we switch ISP's.

This happened to my friend just yesterday (Friday). He was having trouble loading youtube videos on his windows 8 desktop, so he called TWC about the issue and they said a technician would be sent out 2 days later (Sunday).

Long story short, Verizon is trying to cut my international unlimited data plan, using lingo in a newer/updated ToS.

I need a copy of the ToS from around the time I signed up (Jan '11)...

Hi everyone! Well, things have taken an interesting turn. Kickstarter has officially suspended the Anonabox campaign. I guess it’s the best for everyone.

I am happy to see the slowdown was a such a huge success. Here's my thoughts on where we should be taking this now. Rather, where those companies that thought they owned the internet should be going.

Over the past few months /r/technology has undergone many changes. However, one issue that is still prevalent is the ability for hot-button issues to overtake the technology frontpage.
