  1. Re:How about more official Alexa products on Most Amazon Brands Are Duds, Not Disrupters, Study Finds (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Why pay for r&d when the public will do it for free?

  2. I thought these had been around for ages, decades maybe?

  3. Fastest rising tech job? on 'Blockchain Developer' is the Fastest-Growing US Job (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Then it must have already died in the real world

  4. +1 Next headline "NES runs Windows 10 unmodified!"

  5. This is all just propaganda.

  6. We also got recalled glasses and used them anyway, no problems noticeable yet. I always suspected the same as you: no certifications/paperwork, not necessarily defective

  7. Re:Big bet on VR, not Baseball on Intel's Big Bet On Baseball (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree, yet twitch.TV still exists

  8. Second Life redux on Intel's Big Bet On Baseball (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Wasn't this already tried many years ago in Second Life? I imagine this will be just as popuar

  9. Re:This already exists. What has changed? on Google To Replace SMS Codes With Mobile Prompts in 2-Step-Verification Procedure (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Your second scenario is how it's been for me for quite some time now... I'm also not sure what the purpose of this "news" is

  10. Re:Finally... on Spanish Siesta Culture Lets Entrepreneur Turn Naps Into Gold (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The...room service gives the hotel a cut of the tips left on the dresser.

  11. Re:Wouldn't that make the government vulnerable? on British PM Seeks Ban On Encryption After Terror Attack (boingboing.net) · · Score: 1

    Do as I say, not as I do.

  12. Not with all that resource hogging it hasn't on Former Mozilla CTO: 'Chrome Won' (andreasgal.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I used to be all over Chrome a few years ago until its (lack of) resource management prevented me from using several tabs at once. Then I rediscovered Firefox and am still quite happy with it. No plans to go back or have another look anytime soon...

  13. Learned on an Apple] [ with their tutorial diskette. Some C64 basic. Moved on to QBasic then Visual Basic. Finally learned something else with x86 assembly then settled on C. Which I loosely group Javascript, Java, Php inio

  14. These devices have been readily available in China for ages, slapping on a c connector didn't make it novel

  15. Terrible implementation on my TV on 3D TV Is Dead (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I have Samsung stereoscopic TV, and I only tried the feature once and not even all the way through whatever we were watching... The image didn't just alternate perspectives between eyes, but it alternated perspective AND frames so your eyes were never seeing the same moment in time and is the first time I've ever gotten a splitting headache from viewing anything! I didn't mind a lower frame rate at the expense of stereo, and I probably could have enjoyed it then.

  16. When I went through this, I only answered the specific questions they had. I never told them more than they asked that would have helped understand things much more.

  17. Just like encryption, just have a secondary generic/sparsely populated one for them to "find" and explore.

  18. Re:That's amazing! on Facebook Is Using Your Phone's Location To Suggest New Friends (fusion.net) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'f you have an unrooted android phone with Facebook as one of the irremoveable bloatwares, it collects information in the background and transmits regularly despite you never having opened it, or signed in

  19. Re:Fedora updates frequently vs Ubuntu on Ask Slashdot: Linux Distro For Hybrid Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Other than being able to recognise the hardware as a mouse, I see no support for my toshiba touchscreen laptop (élan hardware) working fundamentally different than an absolute mouse pad (ie no contextual gestures, swiping). I'm required to have surgical precision finger placement to manage scrolling via scroll bar and text editing, not very useful.

  20. Re:Fedora on Ask Slashdot: Linux Distro For Hybrid Laptop? · · Score: 1

    I have my touchscreen on fedora21 and find it unusable. The screen acts as an absolute mouse pad rather than a tablet, so scrolling and text editing takes surgical precision

  21. Re:As plain as the googgles on your face on The Future of Wearables: Standalone, Unobtrusive, and Everywhere · · Score: 1

    It's been around for years. Fake car key fobs, watches, glasses, clocks, lovable stuffed bears, smoke detectors

  22. Re:Overpriced snake oil salesmen on Apple Reportedly Buying Beats Electronics For $3.2 Billion · · Score: 1

    I use and love this style. It in its own way is also noise-cancelling... Personally I find them very comfortable (mine use a 3-tier sealing plug)

  23. Re:Good! on Fedora 21 Linux Will Be Nameless · · Score: 1

    I see a jumble of improperly decoded UTF-8 in grub2 despite defining that as my charset

  24. "...brought it all crumbling down..." on Ancient Pompeii Diet Consisted of Giraffe and Other "Exotic'" Delicacies · · Score: 1

    I thought the distinction behind Pompeii was that it, for the most part, did NOT come crumbling down.

  25. A couple things wrong.... on Harvard Bomb Hoax Perpetrator Caught Despite Tor Use · · Score: 1

    1) Is this FUD from the FBI re:Tor trying to discourage it where they actually used other methods to find him, e.g. Harvard logging traffic and Tor did its job? 2) Don't shit where you eat. Use a public network, like a café
