  1. Re:Congratulations ! on Intel Lays Off Hundreds of Tech Admins (oregonlive.com) · · Score: 0

    You are absolutely full of crap. The corp. boards and pencil pushes within those corps. are almost entirely conservatives. Democrats have shit to do with this. Top 10% got a huge tax cut .. still want more.

  2. Re:Juul is a pusher to children on San Francisco Moves To Ban E-Cigarettes Until Health Effects Known (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So the flavored vodkas and other candy flavored booze should be immediately removed from the shelves so no one of legal age can enjoy them? No? I thought so. Your argument is weak and so is theirs.

    Funny. My use case for a smart watch would be 2FA notifications and authing SO I do not have to look at my "fucking phone". ;)

    Maybe you need to talk to an English teacher to get a book on grammar and writing. You can then dis on folks in public without fear of looking like a moron.

    We all can't be heartless bastards who kill animals on the endangered species list but you go for it. It sounds like you are in that crowd.

  6. Re:Too busy on Andy Rubin's Essential Phone Considered Anything But (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I guess you were too busy to read the articles on the subject. He wasn't accused of harassing women. He dated a subordinate. And while against company policy it wasn't harassment. You fail ... at reading and indignation. Go home.

    You can turn this behavior off in the settings so it will not continue running and using GPS when not in the foreground. So check the settings and be free! :D

  8. Re:Consumers are idiots on HTC Keyboard Ads Likely an Error, But Damage is Already Done (androidcentral.com) · · Score: 1

    It was a mistake. Get over it. It's easy to fix and really didn't do anything but cause folks like you to grab your pitchforks and torches. I'll bet you don't even own an HTC. sheesh.

  9. I may slit my wrists. on HTC Keyboard Ads Likely an Error, But Damage is Already Done (androidcentral.com) · · Score: 1

    OMG! The sky is falling! HTC is f***ed! We can never trust them again to fix a minor mistake! It destroys this perfectly awesome phone. I'm crushed.

  10. And how much does Oppo (OnePlus) have? They doing fairly well and do not have the in as far as talking to American carriers and retail outlets as they are an untrusted/known Chinese company. A billion dollars is a damn good start ... they can be a distant 3rd for a release or two and still disrupt. Remember that TMO disrupted the hell out of the carrier world.

  11. Re:Apple tax on A Tip for Apple in China: Your Hunger for Revenue May Cost You (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    You do know that Android Pay and Apple Pay have fees attached to them that the users don't pay but the CC/Banks do .. so you and I can have the convenience of using mobile payments ... right?!

    So .. a 50 year old waterway that until this year had not been used .. goes boom and you equate this with a cellphone radiation study? Wow. You are a special kind of stupid.

    And yes, the Right is taking a tabloid for face value .. maybe it'll be concrete once InfoWars tells you it is .. and maybe it's aliens planting a false flag and making the midwest so warm in Feb. Yeah. But it's snowing where you are so the climate isn't changing and we don't have anything to do with it. *yawn*

    They've already said it's going to be USB-C and the audio will use that port.

  19. What crap. on Apple is 'Intransigent, Closed and Controlling' Say Banks (afr.com) · · Score: 1

    These banks whine about this but yet they are taking so much time with Android Pay that there was an article about folks jumping ship on the banks owned by Westpac Banking Corp. Maybe they should get over it because 50 different payment systems on Android would suck .. and since they can't have access to the NFC antenna in the iPhone they have little choice. And consumers don't give a crap they just want to use contactless and be on with their day.

  20. Re:Order Phones with Removable batteries on Apple Hikes Order Volume For iPhone 7 Parts In Wake of Samsung Recall (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    Are these low end BLU phones waterproof? Any of them? IS there a phone out there that has removeable batteries AND is waterproof/resistant? Do BLU phones have the features? No? Then shaddup .. this MUST HAVE removable battery thing is getting tiresome.

  21. Re:So a Mormon man gets to work 1/2 time on Twitter To Give All New Parents 20 Weeks of Paid Leave (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    You must be the odd person out or you don't participate in the culture. I work with a lot of LDS in Lehi, UT. They get married and 9 months later comes the first one then they give their wives a few months to recoup and boom .. another kid on the way. Between PTO and maternity/paternity leave .. they are out for at least 7 to 9 weeks a year. It's not bigotry to bring up facts. I do know a few mormons that don't have huge families but it's in the 5% range. Sorry man .. it is what it is. But the non-mormons in my work circle end up with much more work with the same level of pay.

    Why is this news? This has been known for a very, very long time.

    Android is Android and Google apps are Google's apps.

    You ARE the problem. You've been conditioned to believe this since 9/11 and it's wrong. Us old folks remember when our lives were private unless WE divulged the information. They've trained millennials to SHARE everything and quite a few of us older folks think we have to change with the times. Well, no. Fuck that.
