You Now Have Longer to Watch Your iTunes Movie Rentals


Apple has finally realized that some people may need more than 24 hours to watch a movie. Or that they may want to watch a movie more than once after renting it.

While streaming subscription services such as Netflix and Hulu are in the ascendancy, you can still buy or rent movies from iTunes. Especially if you’re seeking out the newer releases.

How tbh hit #1 by turning anonymity positive


 The innovation of tbh, teen-speak for To Be Honest, was getting rid of the typing. Whether asking or answering questions, open text fields invite abuse when combined with anonymity.

One large point of difference that many people will face is the way you actually get such a system onto your computer. Though many Linux operating systems these days are easy to install, if not even easier than Windows, there are some which buck this trend. They usually trade ease of use for flexibility and power out of the box. This might not be good for everyone, but for...
