    Let's forget about improving healthcare in the U.S.

  2. I look at the rich choices of phones on the Android side with envy. Every time I consider a nice reasonably priced Android device (looking at you, Honor 8) news like this pops up, and I clutch my iPhone.

  7. Legal nightmare on Amazon To Build Homeless Shelter In Its New Seattle Headquarters (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh boy, I bet Amazon's lawyers and insurance carriers are throwing a tantrum over this. Imagine all that space filled with down and out folks who are going to experience "falls" and other "incidents" due to Amazon's "failure to maintain a safe environment." Seattle has a lot of personal injury lawyers who are going to enjoy a feeding frenzy. What is it they say about "best of intentions"?

    I know they are affordable, but do parents and school boards understand their students' info is being collected and used who knows how?

  9. Atari 400 on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your First Home Computer? · · Score: 1

    It had the famous membrane keyboard, which we upgraded with an after-market typewriter type keyboard. It used a cassette drive. We quickly tired of that and acquired two Indus GT double sided drives. Man, that was living!

  22. I love these kinds of articles on Positive Link Between Video Games and Academic Performance, Study Suggests (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Right out of the box TFA points out a "link," not a causation. So we are left to ponder whether video games help kids achieve in the classroom, or whether smart kids tend to like video games.
