See my post below about LG G3 retailers.

I did a search the other day for LG G3 retailers... I tried dozens of variations, verbatim on, quotes, etc. I was given options in the US, UK, some Canadian cellphone carriers. In the end I had to go to Shopbot.ca to get Canadian companies selling the phone.

Only works in a very limited fashion and is incredibly annoying to have to search then click a few times to get it to search what I asked for in the first place. It also only works in certain types of searches, others don't have the verbatim option or you can only select one type of search tool at a time.

Tried them all. Bing does the exact same bullshit that Google does. duckduckgo's results are so similar and extremely limited that it's not really viable for anything but common searches. Dogpile is a pile, even for common searches.

HAHAHAHA

Google regularly ignores the quotation marks, drops words inside them, fails to include them together... they've even started ignoring the - when you want to exclude something... I'll do something like -shop and it'll bring up domains with shop in it, in the title, and in the description

I have the same problem too... I hate the new search methodology. I liked some of the unobtrusive suggestions like "did you mean" but now days I have to fight with search get it to do my actual search and not some shorted/twisted guess of what most people want to find. Verbatim helps, a little, but the lack of +, the ignoring of - and " " along with the guess work is bordering on useless. I've tried a half dozen alternatives but they seem to have extremely limited indexes and the results are largely the same.

Location searching is another major problem... my ISP is Toronto based and I don't share location information. When this situation happens Google takes a guess based on the IP and will sometimes give Toronto results other times Montreal which means French. Other times it'll decide the street in Canada I want is actually in Asia or Europe and I just have to facepalm it.

There were important differences, however, rather than hash that out I'll just give you the latest:

It also includes the link to an official PDF.

Not exactly 'definitive' but a source: http://www.trueachievements.co...

It's probably a good thing because the article is misinformed. It's not ALL titles and you don't play the disc. You put the disc in and will be given a version you can download for free (presumably recompiled for x86). The only problem is the initial compatibility list is very sparse at ~100 titles with "more being added" which could mean another handful or hundreds but doubtful that you'll get all you games - especially those they think they can re-monetize.

Yup. The effing bing bar is something I delete on a weekly basis from several machines. Granted it's also stupid user syndrome.

I don't trust Mozilla for a second but Chrome's idea of privacy is to pretend it doesn't exist... even if you block everything you can Chrome still has the ability to send data back as part of its core functionality. To my knowledge they haven't exploited this yet but it's only a matter of time.

A million times this. I really want to give up on Mozilla. They've lost their way and the designers rule the roost. I just don't have any better options. I'm never going closed source again and I'm not a fan of Chrome or Google's concept of privacy.

Tape is great for archival purposes where you're dumping/retrieving streams of data that can be stored sequentially. That's not exactly useful for the needs of an active HDD.

I remember those days too. The reality is though at this very moment I can get a platter drives at $0.03/GB so $0.70/GB does not seem attractive in the least. There are performance considerations and platter drives have fewer uses which is why I think a reasonable price should be $0.04-0.05/GB for NAND.

Call me when prices reach $90 for 2TB+
