Tech at Night

Heh, the Playstation 4 is pro-used games and cheaper, right? Not so fast. The PS4 simply didn’t include the Eye and will let publishers restrict used games after all. Told you EA didn’t stop online passes because they were suddenly fine with used games.

Kids don’t belong on the Internet, because predators are out there. Even if your kid is high school aged, Be careful!

Apparently privacy advocates think that having been the girlfriend of a traitor is a waiver of privacy.

Oh look, the Obama administration is messing up spectrum again, what a surprise. We have way too many government agencies meddling in that area.
