How to speed up Windows 7 Update scans—forever
Microsoft has changed the way it deploys patches, adding a new twist to an old problem. For many folks, Windows 7 Update scans still take hours—even days. How do you knock your Win7 machine upside the head, so it will find new patches in less than glacial time? We have a new Microsoft-sanctioned approach that only needs to be tempered a little.Note that, in the new patching paradigm, even those who manually download monthly security patches (“Group B”) still need to use Windows Update, if o..>> view originalMicrosoft Displays More Annoying Windows 10 Pop-Up Ads From The Toolbar
When it comes to Windows 10, Microsoft is that like that annoying friend that's seen a movie you haven't and keeps asking when you're going to watch it (by the way, check out Deadpool if you haven't already). The journey from Windows 8/8.1 to Windows 10 has been filled with aggressive attempts to get users to upgrade, and even after you do, you might still receive popup ads. For what, you ask? Microsoft's Edge browser. Tech journalist Brad Chacos posted to Twitter a screen grab of a popup ad..>> view original'Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare's Awful Supply Drop Loot Boxes Are Ultimately Our Fault

Sprint will support next-gen texting on Android next year
Ah, RCS: it stands for “Rich Communication Services” and it’s meant to replace SMS as the default way most phones send text and multimedia messages. It’s more powerful than SMS — without that silly 160 character limit and with better support for images and video and group chat. But like SMS, it’s a carrier-based solution, which means that it has to prove that it can overcome historical problems that SMS has had, including crazy pricing models and weird interoperability problems from carrier to ..>> view originalEnter to Win a Google Pixel XL! – 11/4/16

GoPro Inc (NASDAQ:GPRO) reported underwhelming third-quarter earnings after the bell on Thursday, setting up what has become a ritual on Wall Street: The deep selling off of GPRO stock. The action camera maker wasn’t expected to wow by any means, but its Q3 figures were far worse than analysts’ expectations. Once again, GoPro finds itself in serious jeopardy. Forget the third quarter. This whole year has been a struggle for GPRO stock. This is just more of the same. GoPro has struggled with dec..>> view originalUS Announces Recall of Samsung Washing Machines
Updated Nov. 4, 2016 10:22 a.m. ET U.S. product safety officials announced a recall affecting 2.8 million Samsung Electronics Co. washing machines, in another hit to the company’s reputation already reeling from the botched recall of its Galaxy Note 7 phone. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the tops can detach during use.

At $799 (if you "bring your own camera"), and $999/$1,099 if you want to include a Hero5 Session or Black, Karma is priced aggressively, undercutting DJI's Phantom 4 if you factor in the cost of the hand-held stabilizer (DJI's cheapest equivalent costs an extra $300). But then DJI revealed the Mavic Pro and set fire to GoPro's plans. It's smaller, similarly priced and bests GoPro across the spec sheet. The question now is: Will GoPro's claim of being more than a drone be enough to lure casual f..>> view originalMedia jostles for viewers, relevancy with election night livestreams
