  1. But now your emails can have "likes"!!!

    He pointed to the implementation of “likes” and “mentions” in the Outlook clients as examples of changes that he thinks are helpful.

    Did they advertise it? Did he buy one? Then its a contract that the courts will enforce.

    No, they haven't which is why I'm asking how he got a contract from Motorola for 2 years of updates. At best Motorola has made non-committal statements about updates but nowhere have they ever gave a legally-binding guarantee of 2 years of updates. The fact that the 2015 Moto E won't get Marshmallow is an attests to no such legally-binding guarantee.

    Don't make the mistake of confusing the paper of a written contract for a contract. Of course it's cheaper to buy a new phone than engage in a court battle since we don't have marketable torts [youtube.com] in the current Western systems.

    I'm not mistaking anything. Don't make the mistake of assuming things since you're not a very good mind reader.

    Motorola hasn't guaranteed what the GP states. Motorola has made promises of things but there's no contract to provide updates.

    Guaranteed by what? Where's the legally-binding contract you have with Motorola for 2 years of updates?

    But now for no reason you can turn on the heater by having to press and hold a button on the Microsoft band then ask for the heater to be turned on. You, know, rather than the arduous task of simply turning a knob.

    Progress!

  8. Volvo Cars will showcase new concepts that integrate Microsoft Band 2 with a Windows 10 smartphone and the Volvo on Call Universal App, creating new ways for customers to interact with their vehicles. From the new Microsoft Band, a Volvo owner can press and hold the action button and say, “Volvo, start the heater of my car,” among many other options.

    Or they could just simply turn the dial to heat rather than requiring a $250 device to accomplish the same task?

    Standards are for taking experimental and/or non-standard stuff and making it, well, standard. Standards don't pop into existence out of the ether.

    Well, it was a red laser technology just like DVD so backward compatibility was less complex.

    Not really. Putting the two lasers on a single head is actually not that complex at all.

    I was also a big fan of HD-DVD (for the inexpensive / backward compatibility aspects)...

    Huh? The only backwards compatibility aspects to HD DVD was that the player could play DVDs, but so could all Blu-Ray players.

    Don't worry, as soon as a tech hipster millennial gets in charge they'll make sure to swap it out for something less reliable because it'll be "new" and "modern".

  15. Nah because they've played the great semantics game of sayin he didn't act like a whistleblower while simultaneously saying whistleblower laws didn't apply because he was a contractor. They rigged the rules where he loses either way.

  16. Again it all depends on the law. No matter who the employer is they cannot enforce rules that are against the law.

    I'm not seeing the issue. The summary only says that your employer can't stop you. It doesn't say or imply that state law can't stop you.

  19. Yes, even if you're employed by the government your boss can not violate federal law.

  20. Fix what? Creating federal agencies and delegating them authority to regulate is a Constitutional power of Congress. Why do you and the GGP act as if this is somehow a new thing?

    It's sort of a gray area with conflicting state rulings.

  24. What exactly is the issue here? The creation of federal agencies is derived directly from the Constitution and backed up by 200 years of case law. The GP must have been quite a shitty teacher to not have learned about things such as the "Necessary and Proper Clause" along with the Supreme Court ruling in McCulloch v. Maryland.

  25. What does the UK have to do with this story? The NLRB is a US federal agency.
