  Interesting you should bring up Epic

  on Microsoft: Bethesda Games Will Be 'First, Best' On Xbox, PC

  Every single major release this year epic cut a deal on has also shown up as a day one release for gamepass xbox and pc versions. mechwarrior 5, outer worlds, wasteland 3 all spring to mind.
  spreading gamepass across both has definitely pulled some money from steam i'd have spent there otherwise, but their slow patching is still hindering them

  on Idiot Phone Thief Uploads His Selfies, Plural, To His Victim's iCloud Account
  They might have shared it for novelty value, and they might bother to go pick the guy up if someone tells them precisely where he is, (though i wouldn't put money on it). These are hilarious, but most of us have experienced the lack of follow through attempting to get cops interested in a little stolen property. Ain't nobody got time for that when there;s pot heads they could seizing assets from.

  on Is Adobe's Ebook Reader Spying On What You Read -- And What You Have On Your Computer?
  hmm makes me wonder about amazon unlimited? the deal with amazons new library according to a few author and publisher friends, is that they get paid when someone reads ten percent of the book.

  on FCC Fines Marriott For Jamming Customers' WiFi Hotspots To Push Them Onto Hotel's $1,000 Per Device WiFi
  yeah, good luck with that inside a convention hall. it's a concrete box saturated with signals. I can actually understand being charged a small amount for reliable data access in that situation. but any hotel that doesn't offer free wifi in guests rooms merits nothing but contempt. and he's right, the nicer the hotel the more shitty their internet policies usually.

  on San Diego Comic-Con Fighting With Salt Lake City Comic Con Over Trademark
  wait, i thought comic con was the brand, and they were all franchises. i mean, there's a specific "comic con" in like every state.
  
  they're all overhyped corporate cons designed to extract dollars from fans, and pretty god awful in my opinion, but there's a definite brand to them.
