Mega-earthquake... that would be what in magnitude? 10+?

I think 8.0 or 8.5 or something. I don't know. That's what the reporter called it. Clearly a 5.6, 7.2, and a 5.3 in less then a week leads most people to believe something is going on.

definitely felt it here in industry, i was eating in&out outside.

just heard that they downgraded it to a 4.9. this is everything that followed.

I was right under it, about 17 miles away from the epicenter.

I didn't feel it very much due to the fact that I was outside on just regular ground and walking/moving, however, my sisters and mum were inside of the house and they felt it shake quite well. Doesn't help the fact that we also live in a bloody 80 year old wood house sitting on a CONCRETE and BRICK foundation. :D

i wouldn't be smiling if i were you...

this is just bad. i dearly hope its all over. peeps from cali .. keep posting thats its all good... if you stop i will wonder.

btw my idiot cableguy has screwed up and i cant see some channels including CNN. got only BBCWORLD here and the pommies not telling anything bout this quakes.

Mega-earthquakes probably don't even exist, the only place you could create such an earthquake is in one of two situations.

1) A subduction zone, such as the one that was in the December and caused the Tsunami.

2) A asteroid could trigger something akin to a mega-earthquake.

The first is much more probable then the second, and a true mega-earthquake (above the richter scale's limit of 10) would be more likely to happen in the mentioned subduction zone, so if you truly want to see some part of the Western U.S. break away from the mainland, Washington and Oregon (both within range of the Cascadia subduction zone) are much more probable candidates then California. but please do not put faith in my words for this is only what I can remember from what I have read in various areas of the internet.

EDIT: Here you guys go, more likely that Canada, Oregon and Washington will slip into the sea than California. :D

    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.
