    They've already doing preliminary testing on this. They're trying to get rid of some of the side effects, but haven't been able to figure out yet why it turns your skin orange or shrinks your hands.

  5. Or vampires. This is exactly how vampires get started.

  6. This is a security nightmare. I beg of anyone at Google with an ounce of sanity, to realize, not every device needs to be online.

  7. Only one fix for this mess on New California Ballot Measure Demands Groundbreaking Privacy Rights (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Companies should not be allowed to sell or share data on customers with any other company. Any data they collect should only be allowed to be used for their own internal business purposes. Sad it's come to this but enough has become enough.

    Sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. The bottom line is that you're never going to talk management out of buying this type of stuff because the promised results are too attractive to them, and you're never going to stop the claims from the people selling this stuff about a management utopia where all is observable and controllable from your laptop or mobile phone, so until we have some spectacular failures and attacks nothing is going to derail this train. Might as well grab some popcorn and sit back and enjoy the spectacle and hope it happens to someone that isn't your company or someone your company depends on.

  20. Re:Sherman Antitrust Act? on Sprint, T-Mobile Aiming To Reach Merger Deal Next Week (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Trump will block it like he did Broadcom/Qualcomm. These are foreign companies that want to compete with American companies. Can not have!

    It used to, back when it was free shipping and cheap. Now it's expensive and has a bunch of other unwanted/unneeded shit bundled with it. It was nice while it lasted.
