Why did this gen of console go on for so long?

While it may be true most games only play at 720p this is not a limitation set by the console but by the games themselves, there are a handful of games that will play at 1080p. FPS? Really? There are so many reasons why FPS is locked on consoles I just dunno were to start.

Why did this gen of console go on for so long?

Well honestly its the fact that consumers are not ready to face the end of "Consoles" they are finally reaching the end of their inevitable evolution. Current Gen consoles haven't even begun to be tested to their limits by the most modern games a hardware upgrade would be pointless. The PS3...

A good (free or cheap) firewall for Windows

I have to agree with lxskllr. No 3rd party firewall App, that includes "free", "no bloat", and "stable" in its description, could appease all those, some things just take leg work. 1. Turn Auto update feature off in all of your apps. The option can be hard to find at times but it is there...
