It hasn't had anything worth a **** until recently. I admit I'm very interested in Foundation and Finch. I'd probably check out Ted Lasso if I had it just to see what that's about, but not expecting much and certainly wouldn't sub just for that. The biggest problem with the Apple "free" trials...

With all the code names that have been bantered about I think it’s anything but simple

I hope it ends up planning out true - about time Intel moved past Skylake, and it would be exciting to see another couple of back-and-forth generations between Intel and AMD

I'm ok with people reviewing a game that they have actually played and paid for in any manner they see fit - including review bombing if they want to. It's the folks that have never played the game that drop a review anyway that dilutes the value.

I don't know that Apple needs as many subscribers as say, Netflix, who's entire revenue depends on streaming. Apple has the Ecosystem, and TV+ is just one small part of that ecosystem. How much of an influence TV+ has on things like AppleTV sales and Apple One services bundles I don't know, but...

The end game was non-existent, but up until that point I kinda liked Avengers, and I'm looking forward to GoG. Kinda the same way I felt about Anthem

The only thing stopping them is Zarathustra :) And Courage. And a law telling them they must have a USB C port.

Same plug, but not the same cable standards or necessarily wiring. If you went and ran your house with CAT3 back with 10Mb was the standard, you'd not be running 10Gb today on that same wire, even though the plug and receptacles would still provide some minimum level of compliance and...

I think it takes all kinds. You can't just be narrowly focused and make it as a publicly traded company. You can have a CEO that is from a financial background lead a technical company just fine - so long as they have a strong CTO and others to back them up. Vice versa - you can have a strong...

First I had heard of it

There's two sides to every story. On one hand, those guys (or there estates after death) all signed a contract to turn over rights. They agreed to a payout, and took it. Whatever happened after that fact was the result of Disney's investment, and Disney is entitled to a return on that...

How many Latin American countries does it take making Bitcoin their de facto national standard to make up for the fact that China won't allow it's use at all? I think the correct answer is "There aren't enough Latin American countries to make that up"

$90 w/ the game $75 w/o **game is not pre-installed, it’s just a online code.

I'm wondering if they don't just include some kludgey USB-C to Lightning adapter, or make a special "European Only" option that costs 10% more. Also, what happens to this law once we are past USB-C for whatever reason? The problem with laws like this: they have to be specific enough to be...
