My thought exactly!

The only way to avoid entering your password too often but force it when an unauthorized person want to access your cellphone is if the cellphone can "efficiently" recognize you. The closest tech I've heard about this is Microsoft new Windows Hello system : http://tech.slashdot.org/story...

It's a little ironical to post this in a news website that utterly depend on the media. There's fuck up and awesome people in every profession, doesn't doesn't mean the whole lot is. Just avoid media that are know for sensationalism and misinformation or at last, find the least worst of the lot.

Damn! That'll teach me to RTFA -_-

Yesterday it was Nintendo going mobile. But I find today's news to be even more exiting.

VR are *hot* this year. Still, this doesn't seem to translate into the game industry. It kinda fell like game controller for the PC ; a lot of game support it, but since it's not mandatory only a little portion of all the gamers will actually own one.

This news is very interesting. Basically Nintendo is using the VR tsunami hype to unveil the comeback of it's black sheep but very well known Virtual Boy as a star player and, honestly, I think they have a huge chance to succeed. The Wii success showed us how Nintendo can make a hype translate into sales for a new console and I'm sure the Virtual Boy 2 is going to be the most discussed VR among gamers for a few months.

Oh come out, how exactly are we going to be "locked in" and forced to pay? Worst case you just format and re-install whatever genuine/non-genuine version of windows you had in the first place.

Good to know.

Still, I may be naive but I think a strong mod community fix this problem. Basically, a modding community consist of people with a good knowledge on this sort of stuff. In the lot, there's always a bunch of people who are maniac about protection and, *usually*, malware are found and tagged quite fast. Kinda the same logic that we find in some deeper portion of the internet *cough*ThePirateBay*cough*.

Here's another awesome feature in Cities: Skylines that EA will never allow : Community Mods. Well ok, EA allow mods but mostly superficial things.

Cities: Skylines come with Steam Workshop and the game can be heavily modded and it's popular enough so you can be sure that if the traffic issue isn't patched, it'll surely be modded quite soon.

One "little" thing that bugs me about modding is the lack of a centralized workplace for all the game available. Sure Steam Workshop is a good start but I'm still using Nexus's website to mod my Skyrim.

I think we're all over-thinking the range anxiety problem. I mean, even the fuel car have the same problem and the solution is a simple (and inefficient) fuel gauge and light up sometime when you got 100km left and sometime when you have 20km left.

What if the problem came from trying to be too precise on calculating the exact remaining range of the car? What if instead of telling the driver that he got ~100km left you make a fuel-like gauge with the arrow pointing at E and let the driver make his how judgement on the remaining range? Or course there's also the scarcity of recharge station but this problem will solve itself in a few years (depending where you live)

Omg yes you're completly right. Silly mistake and it mean it would be January 3, 2041 (3/1/41) instead. Oh well..

For this reason, I found it a little dumb to consider this the "Pi day" : https://thebehaviorallab.files...

For me (french), you could say that Pi day is April 31, 2015 (31/4/15).

Thank you jones. I know it's a little silly but after a good 10 years of browsing /. without any implication it's a little intimidating to start posting comment and submitting story.

Sadly, it seem that news is false after all but at least there's an interesting discussion here.

Hahaha yeah I can see that. Still worth it! :P

I'm not sure "betanews" is the most credible source out there, but there's indeed a update on TF's news that suggest the news might actually be false after all.
