  • Gridlock Guy: Uber/Google partnership could end traffic woes

    Gridlock Guy: Uber/Google partnership could end traffic woes
    Loyal readers of this column know that I am a huge fan of two technologies that I feel can hugely reduce our traffic woes. One of these technologies is currently in use, Uber, and the second, self-driving vehicles, is something that I think will have a massive impact in the future. Ironically these two technologies have recently merged in Pittsburgh as Uber is set to test self-driving vehicles in its fleet in Pennsylvania. This is great news for traffic but unfortunate news for Uber drivers.For ..

If the driver blows over this limit, then the boom gate will trap their car and they’ll have to arrange another way home. These breath test gates are already operational in Sweden, so it doesn’t seem so far-fetched that we could soon have them in Australia. “We’ll start off wit..

  • How Microsoft's tricky new Windows 10 pop-up deceives you into upgrading

    How Microsoft's tricky new Windows 10 pop-up deceives you into upgrading
    This morning, the unthinkable happened: My wife, an avowed PC user who long ago swore to never touch an Apple device, started shopping around for a Mac Mini. And it’s all thanks to Windows 10. Or rather, the nasty new way that Microsoft’s tricking Windows 7 and 8 users into automatically updating to Windows 10. I adore Windows 10, but I’ve long been a vocal critic of the heavy-handed tactics that Microsoft’s been using to force people into the upgrade, all to hit a goal of migrating 1 billi..
