No, it's basic common sense. NYT haven't been exactly silent about defending themselves. If they suspected the logs either did not exist or were falsified they would have said so loudly. As they didn't, the logs were there and the NYT knew it.
Top Gear doesn't slag every car and I'm sure all the manufacturers would hope if they give a vehicle a fair hearing.
As for being an apologist, no I'm not and I could easily provide comments where I've slagged off plenty of things about the model S assuming you'd care. But it doesn't mean I can't see a phony review when I see one. As for the logs, the simple way to demonstrate they exist is to note the NYT not screeching and shouting about their non existence. I'm sure they've seen them and been involved in meetings where the data has been discussed. It's hardly surprising that there should be logging either - even my android apps contain logging. I expect the model S reports piles of things.
The official android documentation can be really dire, and so is the documentation for OpenGL ES (in general and android specifically). I usually find myself googling the answer and usually Stack Overflow or one of its sister sites is at the top of the results pile.
I think you'd throw your toys out of the pram too if your billion dollar investment was unfairly dragged through the mud and harmed for the sake of a review with "colour". See also the NYT review. I suppose the only silver lining for Tesla was they learned not to trust journos to tell the truth and enabled logging.
Tesla enabled logging in the car and it more than confirms their version of events. Given how some journalist's have it in for Tesla this seems like a sensible move by them. The journo was lying through his teeth and was caught in his lie.
I'm absolutely certain they have the knowledge too, or could obtain it. It's simply a matter of time and logistics. Short of throwing all resources and an unlimited budget at the problem cannot be done in 5 years. Not by SpaceX, not by NASA. It's totally unrealistic to even assume they could.
Its only reasonable if you have no appreciation of the complexity. Even the most successful commercial space ventures are barely beyond putting things in orbit let alone the order of magnitude complexity of putting them around another planet and successfully retrieving them. It would be impossible in that short time frame to design, construct, launch, assemble the various modules of such a craft, including all the fuel, water and oxygen necessary in that amount of time.
It might be that sales are player to player but it's Blizzard which is consistently getting a cut from the action. And Blizzard determines which items are "rare" and their desirability in terms of the traits they bestow. So they control the market and can game it any way they want. There's nothing either to stop them rolling fake players to sell goods to meet demand.
To land you must first know you can get there and back, gaining knowledge about human endurance, stress along the way. That said, 2018 is ridiculously, insanely short period of time to even contemplate such a mission. It would require a module analogous to the ISS for starters.
Anyone who boarded a rocket in 2018 for a manned trip to Mars is more likely to become a frozen corpsicle. It's a seriously short period of time to plan, design, construct, schedule, launch and assemble essentially a second space station and crew and set it on course around Mars and back again. If it happened at all it would cut so many corners it would border on reckless. Make it 8 or 10 years, and maybe it might be feasible.
I would trust Firefox's sync more because the data is encrypted in the client before its sent to the server. As in, the the server has no idea what the data is that its storing. The server just facilitates key generation, storage, retrieval and synchronisation of data.
With Chrome, your sync data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy which basically means they can plunder it any way they feel like to serve you ads.
I use Firefox on a Nexus 4 and I think it works really nicely, subjectively better than Chrome. Ad blocking is a vital feature in a browser and that alone is reason to use it.
However I also have an Asus T300 which sucks pretty badly with Firefox with frequent "application not responding" messages. I don't know if it's the device or the software since the T300 has pretty poor IO performance which might be causing an bottleneck.
Gamers sleep walked into this years ago when PCs started printing codes to unlock games either installed from disc or downloaded from the likes of steam. Try installing from your Half Life 2 disc on someone else's account and see how far you get.
Even if Microsoft / Sony start embedding the serial nrs onto the disc it's fundamentally no different than what happened already for years. It just means users don't have to type in the code.
What is more worrying is that there are numerous ways that the serial nr's activation status can be used / abused. For example, one game might decide to disable online without a refresh code which is semi reasonable (the person buying the game didn't pay for the servers that run the online portion). But what if games become glorified playable demos, or the game starts showing annoying interstitial adverts in second hand form unless you buy a refresh code? You can bet the likes of EA, Activision, Ubisoft are already salivating at the ways they can claw back cash from second hand titles and they'll go as far as the console vendors let them unless there are reasonable limits.
The Telegraph has always been right wing but it has become stridently so in recent years. The headlines and tone of its articles show it has become become anti EU, anti immigrant, anti global warming, anti gay marriage and anti science. Of late it's even been anti Conservative, whom I get the impression aren't right wing enough for them. Whether this lurch to the far right is genuine, a way to make more profit, or a political bargaining chip I don't know, but it's disturbing none the less.
I don't hate Windows 8 with the passion some people do. I can see it's broken and have spent a lot of time pointing out the flaws. But neither do I think it is irretrievably bad either. I think Microsoft in their zeal to get to tablet land cut corners on the desktop experience knowing they could fix them later and I hope that the Blue refresh or whatever it ends up being called will do just that.
According to the article, Blue is a Windows 8 refresh. I assume that to mean that it's going to add all the stuff that Windows 8 was lacking when it came out, particularly in relation to its mouse / keyboard and "classic" behaviour. But even metro is a bit shit on the desktop, lacking stuff like folders to group icons, zoom in / out, certain multi-select actions and so on.
It's quite possible to find animal and dairy produce which comes from animals who lived outdoors in uncramped conditions. Can't speak of the US system but in Europe there are legally defined terms to describe free range, barn and cage conditions for chickens. Buy your eggs and poultry from animals as your level of conscience allows.
As for other meat, virtually all dairy and meat cattle in the UK and Ireland lives outdoors in fields as the seasons permit. Veal is virtually taboo these days though I would not be surprised if animals are exported for consumption on the continent. Sheep live outdoors. Pigs may or may not, but again there are free range choices. My parents live near a pig farm and the animals all live in large outdoor pens.
I'm sure also that the various organic / soil association type organisations supplement the legal definition with their own criteria that members must follow. So vote with your wallet. Getting all precious that people eat meat is not going to change anything.

Now you're just being ridiculous and contrarian.

Never buy version 1.0 of anything is the old adage. However it's clear the NYT went out of its way to malign the car.

Who drives a thing balls to the wall around a track though? It's a totally artificial test of the manner in which the car would be typically used.

If these Google glasses looked more like a regular pair of glasses / shades, people wouldn't look so conspicuously ridiculous by wearing them.

There's more than one set of keys. This blog different sync solutions in browsers fairly well and describes what Firefox does.

Most Chinese tablets are 800x480. It does seem pretty blah though.

Now you've stepped over the conspiracy borderline and are making excellent progress towards crazy town.
