For a company who's core business (advertising) is based around search, their search app is pretty shitty. It does little more than just having a bookmark to the page and requires many, very intrusive permissions and takes up four icon spaces on the screen for no good purpose.
Exactly. If I hadn't already commented, I'd mod you up.
I personally do think they are a fad but I don't really have a dog in the hunt. They are basically a laptop without a keyboard and when you add a keyboard they become useful again so *shrug*
Don't forget, they couldn't even get the bill through the house first as legislation is *supposed* to happen. They had to take a completely different and totally unrelated bill which had passed the house and gut it to fill it with senate nonsense.
They are annoying, flood the text inbox and hide other stuff. Have/buy an alert app for android & iphone (& maybe blackberry) which can actually handle things sanely. Not to mention the cost.
If there's a holdout with an L7089, texts may be acceptable for them but smartphone users have better options.
More regulations will just end up causing more exploitable loopholes. If someone will eat their lunch if they provide crappy service, they'll fix things sharpish.
There's a reason for that and that is that local calls are free in the US where they are not in the UK. Someone has to pay for the call. In the US, the receiver pays more, in the UK, it's the caller.
Making the caller pay more makes more sense to me but there is a logic behind it (somewhat).
It would nice to be able to have a realistic alternative to Apple and Google. Unfortunately, signs are that Ubuntu will stand with them rather than apart from them with regards to privacy intrusions.
If somehow the phones are not locked to Ubuntu, I'll count that as a win though.
Often, even with a real audience, the laughter is recorded then redubbed in "the right places".
As to the show itself, only watched a couple. At heart it was just a lame sitcom of the type which most of America seemed mostly to have grown out of in the early eighties but seems to be making a resurgence.

If you buy it off the lunch menu, it's only $94

Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch
Microsoft are trying hard to be as evil as Apple and Google but they just don't have in them, poor saps.

No, it's easy. You only install the services you ne...
I'm sorry, I just can't keep a straight face anymore.
Or even come with a TCP/IP stack (though it's possible to add one)
I just scrolled down past 600 messages and not one I stopped at was worth reading.
Now, that is the Slashdot I know and love.
And lab equipment can, astonishingly, be bought from lab supply places.
"Conflation". It's an interesting word.
Neither. There is plenty of good television to enjoy. Just ignore what you don't like as much as possible.

True or not, no one was claiming the this announcement changed that. Still, no point wasting a chance to do some hating, I guess.
What's your point?
Can I get a discount if they keep the Jar-Jar Binks pixels?
There will also be a 75% increase in the price of .torrent files.
Yeah, a tax increase would fix *everything* until the government raised spending again three femtoseconds later.
The "state" is merely a collection of individuals. An action doesn't become moral just because the individual is hidden amongst others.
Oh, forgot the US federal government and New York hearings.
It's not an endorsement but it is a recognition. Which is exactly what Bitcoin needs to increase adoption.
