    The problem isn't that google has a monopoly. There's plenty of competition it's just all shit. Same goes for Facebook.

    Microsoft Wants You To Care For Your Surface Like a 'Luxury' Handbag

    Right so you want me to fill it full of crap and then spend the rest of my life trying to find anything. I thought that's what Windows was for

    I honestly don't understand why the reversibility is such a big deal. (It reminds me of Apple fanboys raving about the superiority of rounded corners.)

    When the guy who invented USB finally dies they will gently lower him into the grave then winch him out, flip him over and lower him in again.

  10. Re:This is actually creepy on FCC Says It Was Victim of Cyberattack After John Oliver Show (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    saying they were attacked instead of the obvious truth (that they were overwhelmed by demand) is the kind of thing I'd expect from the Iraqi ministry of information, not the US Government.

    Actually the Kodi Streaming thing is from the EU Court of Justice https://www.theregister.co.uk/... not the Digital Economy Act 2017. And the 2 years in Jail previously was for downloading not streaming, however, thanks to the ECJ ruling the new legislation now also applies to streaming.
