    Ford is projecting your phone to the console screen going forward.

    Women dont care. They feel entitled to read all notification while SPEEDING down the road or sitting at lights too long. I drive a large 4x4 truck and see everything that is going on in every car I pass. It is off the hook how many people....women....are simply glued to the phone while in full blown city and highway traffic.

  3. There are already hacks/cracks/side-loads, whatever you want to call it, for Fire stick that do the same thing. They just made it easy for the masses. It won't be long before you can get an image and boot it to a small Linux box for free.

    Reminds of the terrifying scene in RoboCop where he overreacts by shooting up a smoker who violated no smoking ordinance.

  6. It is supposed to be a currency. It should not have a price. I think the point was to substitute bitcoin for dollars. No one is doing that. Is this how we establish the value of bitcoin against a basket of goods?

  7. I am turned off by the fact that everyone is measuring bitcoin value in dollars.

  8. You hit the nail on the head. Target is a bad retailer. They offer little in the way of service to people. They have some type of marketing gimmikry in place that make women buy shit they don't need, but that is it.

  9. If only Google was relevant in this space.....and Target, you missed the boat on "innovative." What a hack.

    Some of you are missing the ramifications of this. Even though this is magnetic media it will drive down the cost of cloud storage. Right now it is cheap, but not that cheap. This could make is feasible for everyone to store all of their data in cloud for pennies a year....encrypted of course.

  11. Re:Don't worry. Don't be an alarmist. on Evidence Suggests Updated Timeline Towards Yellowstone's Supervolcano Eruption (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Something tells me that if "screen and select" people to reseed civilization it would go terribly wrong. Remember, we all emerged from uneducated, toothless, hedonistic, grungy looking ancestors. Nature knows what it is doing.

  12. Some are also claiming that all of the vehicle and air traffic are setting up a resonance in the crust that is spurring volcanic reactions as evidenced by an uptick in eruptions over the last hundred years.

    Everybody sees it. When he dresses up in real men's work clothes and tries to handle tools my stomach literally tries to turn inside out. It is painful.

    He literally cannot even use a hammer. Then again, neither can Trump. There is a pattern here.

    Yeah, whenever anyone with millions or billions of dollars has to tell you they are "just a normal guy" or offers anecdotes to persuade you to feel that way about them, then you know they are not.

    The only time people "care" is when the infrastructure and those affected look like them.

    I like helping people as long as my life is good. The minute my secondary needs for comfort, luxury, and swill are not met there is not much I would do for others.
