Peter Lynch calls this "diworseification."

"It provides better security against malware and zero days for Windows 10 by blocking anything other than trusted apps."

Say goodbye to open source, pirate, or non-Microsoft software.

Yay Windows 10.

Yes, then you have to shoot them again to score more points. At least this doesn't have B&W vector graphics.

FTFY... in the future.

Marge: Not now Homer, a new violent video game has hit the streets, and we need to get rid of it before it warps any children with its bloops and bleeps!

Homer: But that game sounds AWESOME.

We need new blood in this stale gaming industry to grace us with new games other than Call of Battlefield Raider Evil Kombat: Special Edition 9846545 (2015 Gold Premium Collector's Edition GOTY re-release).

Is warning me that $DEVICE that can kill hundreds of people if hacked is insecure.

Oh, the horror!!!

Slashvertisement.

Click-bait alert! Reader beware!

Indeed.

There's a common myth that all casinos cheat (and Hollywood isn't helping here...) simply because people don't understand probabilities and how the odds of most games are stacked against the player.

> Maybe amazon should offer their own payola review service instead of shutting down these honest entrepreneurs.....

Why do you think they're shutting them down first?

The server basically runs all kinds of calculations in real time to make sure everything the client says it's doing is accurate.

You buy the Shiny Gold Mace of Obliteration for 20,000 gold, client tells that to server, server runs the numbers to make sure you actually have at least 20,000 gold, said mace is available for purchase, the stats on said mace check with whatever is on the game database, etc.

That's part of the reason some MMOs have chronical lag issues, no matter how low your ping is. If all that overhead is poorly coded, players will experience lag, no way around it.

Are we there yet?

There's always creepypasta for that.

Microsoft using their leverage in other areas to elbow their way into a new market? You don't say...

I'm sure the U.S. Commerce Secretary and the FTC would've had a field day over this.

I don't see this being an advantage for ANYONE:

1. iPhone owners with an older model will get so little credit towards a new phone that they'll think twice before upgrading.

2. Apple fanboys will buy the newest iPhone, trade-in or no trade-in.

3. Android users with fancy devices (Note 4, S6) are fanboys and it'll be a cold day in hell before they switch to Apple.

4. People with regular mid-end Android devices -- see #1 above.

5. Blackberry users generally have company-issued phones, so they're not going to trade them.

6. Windows Phone users are drinking the MS Kool Aid (tm) and anxiously waiting for Windows 10 and the secomd coming of Jesus.

7. The trade-in program isn't available in developing countries yet, where Windows Phones are sold as budget devices (low end models only, of course).

8. So, who's left? Maybe all 3 people who bought a Firefox OS phone?
