If there is one major scourge about technology, it is the fact that things move so fast, what you own today is already obsolete not too far down the road. Having said that, it makes perfect sense for companies to reassure their customers that they are in for the long haul, which is why Microsoft has announced that those who own the Surface tablet that is powered by Windows RT can sleep easy – at least until 2017, as that is the length of time that Microsoft has committed itself to deliver support for the tablet.
We are talking about the Surface Windows RT tablet working until beyond the next Olympics, and come April 11, 2017, we do look forward to Microsoft making a generous statement that they will further support the tablet, depending on market forces and conditions at that point in time. I guess for the next four years, there would be no need to worry about any firmware updates, right? No idea on whether the updates will also include future Windows operating system versions though.

Expanding Medicaid health benefits to everyone eligible under President Barack Obama’s health care reform law would increase state spending on the program by just 3 percent while extending health coverage to more than 20 million people, according to a study released Monday by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and the Urban Institute.
The health care law seeks to enroll into the Medicaid program anyone who earns up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level, which is $14,856 this year. But when the Supreme Court upheld the law in June, its decision allowed states to opt out of the Medicaid expansion. So far, Republican governors in eight states have declared they won’t participate, denying health care coverage to millions of their poorest residents.
Republican governors who are stalwart opponents of Obamacare, including Rick Perry of Texas and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, cite the cost of expanding Medicaid as a primary reason for refusing to go along with the Affordable Care Act, also known as the ACA. But the states’ share of the new costs of covering more people on Medicaid is relatively small. Combined with greater private health insurance coverage, Medicaid expansion would result in a large reduction in the number of uninsured people, and fewer unpaid medical bills that raise costs for taxpayers.
Babies require a lot of attention, and odds are your social life has taken quite a hit since your new arrival. But why waste money on a baby sitter, or impose on family, when this crib-mounted bottle can take care of feedings while you’re having a night out on the town? The Crib Dribbler is the best thing to happen to parents since Barney died. More »

Hipsters couldn’t incite more blind hatred if they were all ginger-haired Al-Qaeda members. But why? Could it be their taste in music? Fashion sense? Attitude of superiority? Perhaps. Or perhaps it’s their stupid, ugly faces. We may never know.
TAMPA — Stung by a slashed budget, the agency that oversees water resources in West Central Florida is taking a hard look at its vast land holdings.
The Southwest Florida Water Management District wants to determine which parcels aren’t aquifer recharge areas, wetlands or needed for flood control — and if some sort of revenue can be squeezed from those lands.
The process could end with the agency selling off, leasing or trading some prime Florida wilderness.
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime says Wii U sales crested 400K units in its first week, according to internal sales data. That’s just part of a 1.2 million hardware sales week that Nintendo’s enjoyed across the past seven days — which include the crucial Black Friday — where the Wii saw 300K units sold, and portables dominated. Nintendo’s 3DS sold 250K, while the aged DS moved 275K — not too shabby for an eight-plus-year-old console! CNET snagged the data from Fils-Aime in a post-Wii U launch phone interview, where he characterized 3DS sales as continuing on a “record-setting pace” (now at more than 6 million units sold-in to North American retailers).
As for the seemingly paltry launch sales of the Wii U console — 200K units shy of the original Wii’s launch week — Fils-Aime says it’s a question of his company’s ability to keep it in stores and not of lacking demand. “Retailers are also doing their best to get the product to store shelves. But as soon as product hits retail, they’re selling out immediately,” Fils-Aime explains. Without giving any concrete promises or timetables, he adds, “We are looking to have as much product into retail as possible.”

I hate clowns. Never liked them when I was still a kid, and I still don’t. Ronald McDonald used to be an exception. I say ‘used to be’, because after seeing these super-sized McDonald’s figures with their evil faces and transparent abdomens, I’m not really sure how I feel anymore.
Cute? In a way, I guess it is. Weird? For sure. Scary, creepy, and other similar adjectives? Yes, definitely.
The creepy face with the devilish expression isn’t the most off-putting thing about this character. Rather, it’s all in its transparent tummy that shows two as-yet-undigested cheeseburgers. I guess we don’t need to ask or wonder what Mr. McDonald ate to make him gain all that weight.
The Super-Sized McDonald’s figure is available for 9,475 yen (~$116 USD) – at least until McDonald’s lawyers see it.
