>The worst part IMO for both is that they prioritize mobile apps over their PC software so if you want to edit on a computer like a normal reasonable person you lose features compa…

Their hardware is unimpressive and expensive, and their software is horrible.

For StubHub to have insider dealing isn't so surprising, but I am shocked at how brazenly and openly it's occurring. Nothing covert or concealed, just the CEO of a marketplace open…

I play games with a guy who does concrete work in Arizona, he mostly works at night.

Given that the article specifically calls out a construction union and an agricultural union as two of the unions making this request, I don't think that's a realistic solution to …

I honestly had no idea that Apple had moved on from the Pentalobe.

An Apple product manager just fainted at the thought of a user taking a screwdriver to an iPhone.

I'm not the commenter you replied to, but I'm doing the same math they are and coming up with the same answer. From my perspective iOS is better than Android in a number of ways bu…

The US doesn't have any general restrictions against filming in public. Court rulings citing the amendments above were made to affirm that law enforcement are not an exception to t…

I think you're missing the crux of the problem here. "We didn't understand the licensing!" isnt usually an incredible claim, but it becomes so when it's being made by a company tha…

I don't believe those numbers will ever come close to converging, let alone bounty prices surpassing black market prices. It seems like these vulnerabilities will always be more va…

Niki Lauda, eat your heart out

Kinesis charges $100 to ship anywhere outside of North America. Also, it's not a split board, you can't actually separate the two halves. For a touch over $300 you could have almos…

>but only as long as you take them. This is why these drugs are a treatment, not a cure.

Your question boils down to "If I was buying a product from a company, and they made it worse, why would I pay the same price for it?" Because YouTube has a functional monopoly on …

Regarding the kiosk, I wholly expect that an unattended device with YT on auto play will ratchet up the length/frequency of ads as long as they're never skipped. Someone who falls …

Good shout. They don't have SIMs, they'll be connected to a VPN router, and I'll create new Gmail accounts for each device, from each device.

I've seen these advertisements too, also only when my phone had been playing unattended for some time. I have a (unsupported, unsubstantiated) theory that YT detects phones of "sle…

The linked post indicates he expects the judgement to include costs (which I understand to be the rule of thumb in UK courts).

That's fair. I suspect that as phones get more "premium" the margin from a small phone shrinks faster than a larger phone. HTC has been making cheap (very cheap) and small phones f…

Small phones (to an extent) are less expensive than larger phones to manufacture. The thought that "Small phones are only more popular because they're less expensive" seems to will…

I think that's very charitable. I'd describe it as "kayfabe".
