This just sounds like the same whining people did when the Mac went to USB back in 1998. "You mean I need an ADAPTER for my SCSI device?!"

A lot of people forget, but iOS shares the same underpinnings as MacOS X. In fact, when Steve Jobs announced the original iPhone, he didn't say it ran iPhone OS, he said it ran Mac…

There's some good points in the article, in particular the draining of color from the Finder sidebar and a few other glaring usability issues that haven't been addressed. But, man,…

Milo was temporary banned, at least three times, and had his verification revoked. You can't say he wasn't warned.

>I don't support any side, I'm just trying to show that the first comment regarding consistency is indeed accurate, Twitter has none. No argument here. Twitter's inconsistent, if n…

What happened with Milo is less about him attacking Leslie Jones, and more about his _followers_ attacking Leslie Jones. Milo knows full well that if he identifies someone for his …

$7m is pocket change for Citigroup. No wonder the big banks keep shitting the bed. There's never any real consequences for their fuckups.

> What devastation? Does GamerGate mean anything to you? And that's just one example.

If I'm in a physical community where the loudest, and most controversial members are making it a terrible experience for people inside and outside that community, and the leaders r…

Time and time again, the hands-off moderation of anything on 4chan beyond child pornography has had knock on effects in the real world. GamerGate began life on 4chan, and is still …

I'm really not sure how I feel about this. Moot created the biggest, most toxic garbage fire of an internet community, refused to take management of it, and walked away when it bec…

Typically, TANF benefits went to the elderly, disabled, or to new mothers. Do you really want to force them to work the gig economy? Also, don't forget that the "T" in TANF means _…

This is ridiculous. The stereotype of welfare recipients as lazy, unemployed people is completely inaccurate. I'm a former Welfare Clerk, and the vast majority of welfare recipient…

I actually do sleep tracking with my Apple Watch using the Sleep++ app. The Apple Watch's battery is good enough, and charges fast enough, that all I have to do is give it, maybe, …
