Would you remove an occasional obscenity -- even if it's in a comment left by a reader -- to appease someone who wants to link to your site but whose porn filter flags your content?

Worried about people monitoring your wifi traffic on a public network? You should be. In the article, I review "Hotspot Shield" and find it a simple, elegant and reasonably priced solution to the problem...

Do you use a baby monitor, or did you? Would a video monitor be better than just audio? Or are we training our children to be comfortable with the future of extreme monitoring and surveillance?

I so totally understand this thinking. Which is alarming.

If you're into multiplayer online role playing games, you'll definitely want to check out our review of Tera. If you're not, have a look anyway, just so you can see how gorgeous the graphics are. Video games have come a long way into becoming interactive art...

This is how Universal warns us journalists not to include spoilers in our reviews of "Battleship". Okay. So I won't. But still, us humans win. :)

Fozzie might have nailed it this time.

My philosophy of success in the social media world: Give, don't take. Inspired by JFK's inaugural speech in January, 1961.

A new must-have cable for every computer bag: the DualJack lets you connect an iPhone / iPod / iPad and has a secret built-in micro-USB connector too. Incredibly helpful!

The worst thing about Pinterest? The never-ending banal inspirational quotes.* The first hundred are thought-provoking, but eventually, really, can't we just have a day off from deep and profound inspirational quotes, everyone?

Profile picture of Bruce Tyrrell

Bruce Tyrrell I think that the worst thing about Pinterest is some people's disregard for properly labeling pins.(Not all people, just some.) Inspirational messages should not be under humour. (I'm in Canada, it's "humour", we also except "spelt". We're kind of odd, that way.) But in the whole course of life, if that's the most important thing we have to worry about, things must be going pretty well!

My less than stellar review of "Dark Shadows". In a nutshell: walk out after the first hour. You'll thank me.

Put water in a bowl and drop random colors of nailpolish in it. then stir it with a toothpick and put petroleum jelly on your fingers, so that the nail polish only gets on your nails. then stick your fingers in the bowl. Want to try this on my girls...

Look, Siri's getting sentient and talking with Foursquare about what I'm doing. The worst part? I like it. I blame Skynet, however.

FIFA has changed its long time ban and is now allowing women to compete in World Cup qualifiers wearing hijabs. Seems like a tricky situation to balance between all teams having consistent uniforms (hence the word "uniform") and supporting religious beliefs that include specific clothing. What's your take, should they be allowed, or banned?
