the full desktop Windows 10 variant is coming to ARM. It will be a 64-bit version, running on Qualcomm's latest and greatest processors (probably the Snapdragon 835),... with the ability to run not only Universal Windows Platform apps [and] regular Win32 desktop applications.
Have you ever dealt with the post office in person? I had to go pick up a package that was supposed to be delivered to the door and signed for. After waiting in line for 20+ minutes, verifying my ID, I had to write with a "touch pen" on a "touch screen" My full name, then address, then you have to wait while the human on the other side, looks at the crappily written on a touch screen, back to the name address, back to the screen back to the typed address.
Or attempted to resolve a problem over the phone? Set aside a few hours. Then wait a week or more for the "investigation".
Those examples describe pretty much every US Postal "process", time intensive, pointless dreck.
Since Mozilla cancelled Aurora (FF Developer Edition), I've been using the "Mozilla Developer Preview", which self-identifies as Nightly, but appears to be a version behind (54). With Nightly 55, almost all extensions are listed as "Legacy" and most of their icons are removed from the interface. So things aren't looking very bright now.
Like all MP3 encoders, LAME implements some technology covered by patents owned by the Fraunhofer Society and other entities.[3] The developers of LAME do not themselves license the technology described by these patents. Distributing compiled binaries of LAME, its libraries, or programs that derive from LAME in countries that recognize those patents may be patent infringing. Since April 23, 2017 all of these patents have expired.
Who cares about Fraunhofer's MP3? We've had LAME since 1998, and Ogg Vorbis since 2000. LAME's VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is better than even AAC, let alone Fraunhofer's crap licensing. And we can't forget FLAC and WavPack.
Except part of the problem is similar to the issue that enabled the gMail/OAuth hack -- the information that you need to make an informed decision is hidden or not available at all. And that issue keeps getting worse as the phone-interface gets minimized and simplified ad-nauseum.
Further, Android wont even allow you to know who the Author|Dev of a given app is. We are allowed to know the "version" - bonus.
Hulu (stylized as hulu) is an American subscription video on demand service owned by Hulu LLC, a joint venture with The Walt Disney Company (through Disney–ABC Television Group) (30%), 21st Century Fox (through Fox Entertainment Group) (30%), Comcast (through NBCUniversal) (30%), and as of August 10, 2016, Time Warner
Yes, Uber are claiming that the "privilege log" of the Otto acquisition is itself privileged as it contains lawyer correspondence. If that isn't knocked down by Alsup it will allow pretty much every corporation to decline to produce privilege logs for investigation of malfeasance.
Given the direction Microsoft has gone since Windows 7, one can't help but look at alternatives. Yet the problem I have with Mac (beyond basic price) is the editing paradigm. Apple says that, "Insert/Backspace", "Home/End", and "PgUp/PgDn" along with a handful of other 'standard' keys don't exist, and cannot have equivalent key-bindings. Using MacOS is nothing short of constant frustration.
Lots of phones appear to work on Project-Fi, but they likely aren't fully compatible.
They may not switch to WiFi when the cell signal is poor, or switch between mobile carrier signals, as well text-messages can have odd (longer-than-the-message) hash-sum-like values appended to them -- for no apparent reason.

Looks like they did: GTA IV demo at E3
Vivaldi still isn't as useful, nor customizable as Opera 6. Though we might have to say Opera 9/10 if we include the horrid tab-stack implementation.
With the Fire Stick, you need to press a hardware button to activate Alexa.
If you've ordered something previously, Amazon's Alexa will offer up that item, or a list of matching previously ordered items.

Did anybody hear the congressional testimony this week, the parts where they admitted that Trump's campaign WAS under surveillance?
And why were they under surveillance? Oh, right. Their highly unusual communications with Russia.
Nothing to see here, move along peon.
Adding insult to the injury, AlphaGo scored the victory over humanity's best candidate in China,
There is no insult to losing in China. The appropriate response is, "Thank you for allowing me to win."
Like Steam, it'd be an Impulse buy at 5 or 10 bucks, with a similar expectation of "get around to it eventually."
You should take a look at Sidewise, it does everything that Tabs Outliner does without the gawd-awful interface.
And unlike Tabs Outliner, you can actually select multiple tabs in Sidewise.

Well there's the Moto X Force (aka Droid Turbo 2) for only $229 now, which can be manually flashed to Android 7.
Also listed at GearBest for 279.99, or Amazon for $305.
Although Lenovo's Moto G5/G5 Plus is one the best North American compatible devices I've seen in the $250 - $350 price range.
The book by David Brin is much better than the movie.

If ISP's are allowed to sell your data, the government no longer has to go through legal channels for warrants -- they can just "buy" what they want.

You mean Comcast-NBC-Universal-Hulu's "failing business model"? Yeah not much failing to be seen there.
Considering Venmo is owned by Paypal...it's at least bent.

Mostly? Just missing side tabs. Sidewise is "ok", Tabs Outliner makes me want to claw my eyes out, and the few others are just trash.
