Isn't that bad. I've been with them for a while (7 years), and prices/wifi calling and so on are pretty good.
The only issues I've had is coverage in remote areas (places that A&T/Sprint/Verizon didn't work well either) and inside buildings. Their new LTE network is supposed to fix the inside building thing, and I've just used wifi inside.
I think some of the pay as you go (burner) phones are way more ghetto.
It's becoming clearer every day that we need phones that run OpenBSD. The OpenBSD developers have showed us time and time again that they're completely dedicated to writing damn secure software. They will even fork, fix and maintain software written by other projects if it doesn't meet their high standards, like we've seen them do with their LibreSSL project.
This is exactly the kind of thing that Mozilla could do to redeem themselves. Instead of wasting so much time and effort on Firefox OS, they could have instead provided the resources necessary to get OpenBSD to run well on Nexus phones. It's clear that Mozilla doesn't have much of a chance when it comes to the web these days, after how they've driven away so many Firefox users with unwanted and unnecessary changes. But Mozilla could reinvent itself as a provider of secure consumer-oriented software.
Hopefully they won't suck as hard as the Ubuntu Phones have so far.
Technology doesn't make your job easier, it makes it harder. What it does is takes those mind-numbing jobs, away. And replace them with harder jobs, that requires creative thought, and out of the box problem solving. Our education system fails to stress this new type of thinking. So many people are caught off guard as technology replaces their work. Even if you are in technology, you need to keep an eye on what is happening for your job, if you find what you are doing is repetitive with a canned solution to a planned event, that means you are probably getting out of date, and will need to work on training for a change in your job.
In IT you can't expect to be doing the same job in your career.
I have seen a lot of jobs replaced by automation. I started work with 5 secretaries for a group of 120 people. There was one 5 years later. Because computers replaced things like scheduling meetings, sending information, email replaced notes sent to your desk inbox.
I think the next great automation/outsourcing should be management. There is really no need for all these overpaid MBA types, when there are plenty of H1B eligible people with the same degrees who will work for pennies on the dollar. All the managers need to do is train their replacements. Shouldn't take long at all, and think of the immediate financial gratification of the shareholders.
If you want to eat your veggies and own land, grow your own. Local farmers markets also contain large amounts of inexpensive fruits and vegetables some of which are locally grown.
Amazon so disruptive people are already forgetting B&N's name.
You mean Borders, Media Play, and Waldenbooks?

IMDb Hits 25
·
· Score: 2
I can't speak for the A-list actors. Just for everyone else listed on IMDB. All of those pictures are uploaded by the person listed or an agent of that person. I have a profile as a lowly Grip. You can't add a picture unless you are an IMDB pro paid user. At least not that i have found yet.
I thought it would be something like that, agents need their booty. A-listers can probably afford it. and you wouldn't want to get into legal trouble by just pasting any old picture in there.
Slashdot Mirror
social media bots to promote whatever someone pays for.
Briganding accounts to attack people you don't agree with.
Command and control/status accounts for botnets.
Dead drops for data
Fake celebrities.
Kind of like twitter in general.
they mean, remove them from your ability to access them.
I'm guessing they're probably planning on holding onto them, and using them for pattern training, facial recognition and future blackmail..
Seth Rogen and James Franco when you need them?
In 30 years or so, someone can discover the landfill where Atari buried all the failed IOT devices.
Just make it a chatbot that responds to key terms "bacon" or "cheese" with "yes, more please" and you've got a winner!
I think you meant "Leverage Synergies" "Core Competencies" "Stockholder Value" "You should be happy to just have a job here"
If Amazon offered Prime video service for Android TV systems?
And $107.88 for monthly vs $99 for a year of Amazon Prime? It's like buy 11, get the 12th month free.
You could buy 2 paperwhites (with the same resolution) and have money left over for some coffee at Starbucks.
$289 for an ad (infested) platform and only a 6 inch display? Seriously? Do they toss in lifetime Amazon Prime for this price? They should.
On another note, please check with your local llbrary system which allows you to checkout ebooks for free.
OverDrive is one platform libraries use.

Nobody mentioned Bender?

The servers where BB gave the local government the keys to everything.....
This mostly sounds like BB trying like hell to stay relevant.
Less than trying to stay relevant, more like trying to stay in business, and not declare chapter 11 or 7 (or whatever the Canadian Equivalent is)

This is your brain on Trump.
I'm surprised there wasn't more information about your brain on Cruz. Or maybe it scared the researchers a little too much.

You're probably not reading the real news.

I want in my car?
0, not including the media device.
I hate having a car computer, always watching, always judging, always waiting to be used as evidence against me in a court of law.
On the Tech Support call line.
I thought about 90% of all the people I worked with at SAP were either autistic, or lied on their resume about their qualifications.
There is/was an 802.11D. The D doesn't appear to refer to Death.
I'm guessing the DVR was coded to be more secure over the fear that someone may be able to copy the saved entertainment off the DVR and use it.
Probably nothing more scary for providers than free shareable movies and TV shows.

So grips don't have agents? (Just kidding)

I do dislike the watermarked images though.
