    Kind of off-topic, but I wonder what the reasoning behind blocking some sites like Sony Japan was.

    Is there an alternate article that isn't behind a paywall?

    And here I was hoping that I'd be able to afford a place in Waterloo eventually (I've already given up hope for a home in the GTA).

    Why WhatsApp? Messages are E2E encrypted so it's fairly safe to use. Are you worried about metadata collection?

    So they're mad that the stream they shared publicly was seen by the public?...

    Just bought a brand new 9360 and the coil whine is definitely not gone.

    I just bought an XPS 13 9360 and returned it due to the coil whine. I've never had that issue on my Macs before so once I get refunded I'm going to buy a MBP instead.

    I'm in a similar boat. I'm replacing my 2013 13" Pro with a new XPS 13. It just came yesterday so I can't really review it at this point, but I'm impressed so far.

    Maybe, but it may not be a huge issue. I've had very good luck using apps split-screen in Android 7.0, which has a similar aspect ratio to classic BB devices.

    For those in North America, Turo seems to be pretty good for Airbnb-style car rentals.

    I'd expect that USB storage devices are supported. Why would you drop support for the most commonly used external storage?

    So far I haven't encountered any issues with iOS 8 or Yosemite. I use my laptop as a developer daily and it's been perfect for me.

    Why not just use Dropbox? It's always been extremely reliable for me on my Mac.

    What exactly does this enable/disable?

    This is why 4chan supports WebM videos now in addition to the traditional gifs.

    Since Chrome forked WebKit, it's been going downhill. For the past little while, with each new version of Chrome, I notice more annoyances and bugs. I recently switched back to Saf…

    I'm kinda confused about how to win. Do I choose a number and if the computer also chooses that number, we both get X's?

    My friends and I have never ran into this issue switching from iOS to Android. The main thing to do is to disable iMessage on your old iPhone before you get rid of it; that should …

    It would be cool if this was added to the iOS parallax effect.

    I think the point the author is trying to make is that you don't know what she will do to the quality of the product, but your best guess would be basing her future decisions on he…

    The problem with using UDP is that many ISPs block UDP packets because it doesn't have features like congestion control. So using it for an internet game is out of the question, be…

    Does anyone know what he used to generate the equations in HTML? Most of the tools I've used simply convert LaTeX equations to an image.

    No, he's saying that Google is doing the first point, not this one.

    "Classic" apps will be scaled (using the normal bicubic filter) to twice their resolution on Mac. If they were implemented using Apple APIs, there's a good chance that text will be…
