  1. Re:Why? on With Respect To Gaming, Android Still Lags Behind iOS (bgr.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Actually from what I see, iOS is more popular with kids, who are more likely to have money to spend on games themselves or have parents that are willing to throw them a couple bucks to shut them up. iOS is not the 'premium' OS as people say, it is the OS for grade-schoolers.

  2. When I think 'connected class' I think Facebook...... and then I go have a shower.

  3. 1. There is no reason to have anything rinning as root
    2. There is no reason to run any non-os command as root
    3. it takes 45 mins at most to reimage a server and redeploy from backup

    The people who get this are asking for it. Its like the internet startup darwin awards.

    I'm reading between $10K and $50K on cloud per year and you might as well have your own servers, this true?

    He said he feels like he should be paid more because someone else lower than him is paid more. Therefore, he has less satisfaction in his job. Perhaps hate was a bad word to use. What I am saying is that it shouldn't matter. You make what you make, who cares if the janitor makes as much as you or even more? If you were happy with what you made before, your salary has not changed, so why would you be any less happy?

  9. Re:In other news.... on $70k Salaries Didn't 'Backfire'; Gravity Payments' Profits Have Doubled (inc.com) · · Score: 1

    That's the thing. If you hate your job more because of what someone else makes then you're being very immature.

    And now those two employees that quit might have in in line for a nice increase. Too bad they weren't part of this good outcome.

  11. Re:Get your popcorn grandma, the Apple haters comi on Apple Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over iOS Wi-Fi Assist (appleinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple is merely doing this how Android does it. I'm a little surprised people could be using a mobile device and yet think they are *not* going to use mobile data. I think Apple's problem is that their customers are overprotected. Generally Android customers are willing to learn a little about technology and understand how things work. Apple customers practically want the device to read their mind and do what they want it to, and Apple makes it seem that way by actively holding back features that could make it seem otherwise. In this case, Apple miscalculated.

    No, it can. Also, Capitalism could be redesigned to incorporate the positive aspects of Communism. It's just that people don't generally want to because they instantly want to know what's in it for them and there is no more in it for them than anyone else and a lot of people don't like that.

    I'm just saying, what's the point of having an expensive small portable device if you have to have a cable and a box dangling from it on a regular basis. It's like giving birth and not cutting the cord.

  15. Re:battery life on Hands-On With the Fairphone 2 Modular Android Smartphone (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    For me, I just want my phone to last a full day, day after day, after being plugged in while I sleep. 28% more right now would get me there, so that would be huge for me personally.

  16. Re:What's the point? on Hands-On With the Fairphone 2 Modular Android Smartphone (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Having to use an external battery back totally defeats the purpose of having a small portable device. I would shoot myself if I bought a device that couldn't go a day of normal use without being able to pop in a battery freshly charged by an external charger. Right now I have a Galaxy S3 and I cycle between two batteries. Changing the battery is 10 seconds of inconvenience and then you have your fully pocket able device back again.

    I agree with you entirely. I prefer to shop at Costco first simply because everything I buy there is good.

    Basically Apple is the convenience store of technology. It is the choice to go to so you will be assured it will work in a certain way and you won't be overwhelmed with options.... but you will pay the price that always comes with convenience.

    One thing always seems for sure; there are ALWAYS one or two really bad things in every option.

  20. Re:If you only choose once, then what's the point? on Is Too Much Choice Stressing Us Out? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Generally when I go grocery shopping I buy around 30 items. If each of those items has 10 choices, that's 300 choices you need to consider in a single shopping trip. Sooner or later I am just going to grab something off the shelf and not make the best choice, thereby giving some company more money then I should. Who wants to spend that much time in a grocery store?

    I am a technical person and my head spins when I shop for a laptop. It's no wonder people just go for the brand they know at the price they are comfortable with and hope for the best.

    The problem is, people are dickheads that don't care about anyone else. If you could build a country of people who weren't waiting just to screw everyone else over then you could have communism, but I have come to the conclusion that some people need to feel like they have more and this is why communism fails.
