Imagine waking up in 400 years, surrounded by scientists and doctors all cheering at their breakthrough. "Is there still a WWW?", you ask. "Yes! Just think of what you want to visit and this holographic unit will bring it up in 3D for all of us to see." Smile then concentrate on goatse.
I'm ~150 km from the North Dakota border in Manitoba. Still well above freezing most days in mid-November and there have been recent years where we haven't had snow until December.
I remember way back that when you did an alphabetical dump of usenet groups there were several that when listed said "ITTSUCKS" in large block letters.
One thing I'd love to see in all these devices is Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) as their power source rather than needing a wall-wart to power them. Would be great to have one cable for the entire device.
Thank you! I didn't know there was a version of Tempest with a pair of hands holding the playing field open. Amazing that they could do that with vector graphics.
Yeah, it used to be called Facebook Purity and Facebook pulled the trademark-threats on them. So now it's Fluff Busting Purity. Facebook obviously does not like it so they flag it as Teh Ebilzzz...
That was one example of what it does that many people find useful. It is off by default. Other things are sorting your timeline to how you want it, hiding all sorts of chaff, etc.

The real take-away is that Google will also know your location. Wrapping it up in a sheep's skin of user-convenience is their Modus Operandi.
Can we finally have the name of this "European cloud provider"?
We'll get the name on the next dupe of the story. Check back Tuesday.
I would think most of /. knows who Ive is. Amongst the general population you will get mainly blank stares.
What would happen if you plugged one of these into a charger?
They should have gone with Lemmium for one of them.
Too bad, I had nothing but good experiences with the Airport line.

Now that they've hired Trump, they no longer need to see his profile.
I was joking. Warm here in January spells doom for most other places.

Keep burning that coal!
Get your popcorn ready!
In a few years I expect to be able to toss the kernels on my driveway and watch them pop there.
He did give us one treatment that we can scratch off the list of potential cures..
It's saying I need Flash to play this. Really does seem like 1951.

"Your trip to Saudi Arabia is next Monday. Would you like to see burkas from our valued advertising partners?"
"Beleaguered" used to be a word I reserved for Blackberry/RIM.
Now I can use it for Samsung.
Yet another market Apple has won. Cheaper watches will sell but Apple will get the lion's share of the profits, just like they do in the phone market.
I have a 40 year old dildo with old-school vibrator tech. Top that sonny.

Use the FB Purity extension for all major browsers. It does a lot of nice customizable things to FB, even an unfriend notifier.
