What stupidly easy tech solution do people gloss over all of the time? (kbin.melroy.org)

For me it's the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they're being spied. Here's the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won't use it or haven't used it in a while.

They, whoever it is, can't really spy on you on something that's already off and unplugged!

Great review of several high end mice, wired and wireless. He found no correlation between wires and latency. Ultimately, he concludes that the most important properties of the mouse are weight and feel.

Thank you for that link, it's actually pretty interesting and cool! Would've never assumed that the difference between wired and wireless can be THAT insignificant while there's also such a big difference between brands within the same category.
