Speculation swirled over the last several months about the GOP tax bill and whether it would help — or hinder — the United States. While liberals have complained that the tax bill hurts the American people, the first signs of progress on the bill seem to be favorable. Just look at what Apple is doing […]

Republican Marsha Blackburn isn’t attempting to turn the Internet into a government run utility (Engadget) Last week, the FCC repealed net neutrality protections put in place in 2015 and returned broadband to a Title I classification. There were many voices expressing concern over the proposal and frustration once the FCC voted to enact it and […]

I think we’ve reached peak Capitalism. We have a store for every type of gadget, every type of food and every type of commodity. We even have people selling their virginity. It’s hard to innovate because it feels like everything has been done before. That did not deter this fellow human being. He is taking […]

With the vote on doing away with the Obama era rules on Net Neutrality coming today, supporters of this big government plan are getting nuttier and nuttier. We had the banksy idiocy, proclaiming you’d pay $1.99 for each Google search (which would simply mean, if it happened for real, that people would just use other […]

If the media explained exactly what the Obama era net neutrality actually did, what all the actual cons to it are, it wouldn’t poll so well. Net Neutrality sounds so positive, right? Regardless, we didn’t need it before 2015, and we do not need it now (The Hill) The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is moving […]

Andrew Mccollum is the chief executive of Philo, an Internet television company. He was also part of the team that helped create Facebook. The NY Times has given him a platform to tell us why we totally need the Government in charge of the Internet, by deeming it a utility, just like the phone system […]

I don’t know how I feel about this. Of course I’m pro-liberty and believe that as long as it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my back, I say do whatever you want. On the other hand this can’t be good for society. There is a rise of people who admit to falling in love […]

I have studiously been avoiding getting Alexa from Amazon for some time, but I think I’m going to give in. Given that I’ve shopped with Amazon for 15 years or so and get most of what we need there, I think I need to evolve and try it out. Despite my husband thinking that I […]

And now for something completely and radically different… sex robots. I wrote about this perverse concept about a year ago and evidently the technology behind them has really advanced. Personally, I don’t see these as a boon to mankind. I see them as a sick, twisted development that will allow humans to disconnect even more […]

Amazon’s “Alexa” is one of its most popular products — people can ask it questions, play games and even shop through the smart device. But some have begun to suspect that it may not be completely benign. And one video has people questioning if it could be connected to the CIA. In the video, a […]

The FBI is worried that hackers could be spying on Americans — so they’re recommending that everyone take an easy security precaution and cover up the webcams on their computers. If the webcam is open, then hackers can break into your computer and use the webcam to spy on everything the user is doing. Even […]

There was a lot of speculation after the DNC hack that Russia was somehow involved. It’s not exactly a crazy idea; they’ve done it before, after all. Hillary Clinton knows firsthand (but more on that later). But this time, it wasn’t Russia. That is what Vladimir Putin said after weeks of rumors over whether or […]
