And their offering sucks. This AT&T is emulating only too well the AT&T that was broken up in the early 80s. Hopefully, the same destiny awaits them. And Verizon.
I guess that Samsung is not on fire any longer. It will not come up with more explosive handsets, its phones will not become flaming successes, and it will of course not singe the competition. What a shame - my money was burning a hole in my pocket.
Now that you have won the latest pissing contest, why not devote at least some funds to improving the lives of the more than 600 million Indian citizens who lack running water, electricity and sewage? Just a thought, you know, so that the rest of the world will stop thinking that you have a big huge chip on your shoulder.
In one of his popular books on physics (Biography of Physics - a delightful book) George Gamow tells the story of Dirac, when visiting some university in Denmark (I think.) The guys there were trying to solve the following problem: represent every single positive integer using the number 2 alone, and standard mathematical symbols. Dirac came up with the following solution:
N = -log_2 log_2(sqrt(sqrt(...(sqrt(2))...)
where the number of square roots is equal to N.
The way I imagine a flying car is as a vehicle that can hover almost silently, effortlessly, for long periods of time. I do not think that we have the technology for that, much less in an affordable way. Those silly planes with folding wings and the ridiculous little helicopters with an individual strapped to them are not flying cars, but preposterous contraptions.
Gates, Musk and other people are extremely successful entrepeneurs. They owe their success to their prowess, and to luck - it is arguable in what proportion. At any rate, that does not qualify them in any way as authorities on how they future is going to unfold when it comes to the use of AI. Or, in plain in English, I don't give a f**k what these guys think about the influence of AI in our future.
This is the correct approach. Banning it would seem silly and oppressive by many, taxing it for health reasons is perfectly fine.
One has to be careful though - things should be such that smoking is inconvenient, difficult and expensive, but not so inconvenient, difficult and expensive that an illegal cigarette industry will arise to satisfy the smoking needs. Can you remember what happened during the Prohibition?
More bloatware for Linux. Linux really is beginning to catch up to Windows, at long last. Maybe that's what they mean when talk about the year of Linux in the desktop.
Or Blu-Ray disks? The formats are obsolete - they do not hold so much data, they are fragile, they become unreadable in a few years. Forget that junk. We want to stream movies, all the movies, all the time, to all devices. We can already do that, to a large extent, thanks to BitTorrent. If you, Sony, wants to see a dime, get on board; otherwise, people will carry on using unofficial BitTorrents, and you won't get a single penny. The choice is yours.

Facebook is a piece of shit. LinkedIn is another piece of shit. Morphing one into the other should be straightforward.
This industry is full of bullshit and fads.

You low-life bastard.
It seems like personal assistants are nothing more than intrusive nag machines that want access to every aspect of my life.
You can say that again. They started life being pretty much useless. They are now becoming worse than useless.
One, coverage outside urban areas is patchy. Two, even in urban areas, coverage in some shops (Target, Home Depot, etc.) is nonexistent.
Pure trash.
Another ridiculously hyped technology that has yet to deliver.
They are going to blast the competitors with all those explosive devices that they come up with. Why, my money is already burning a hole in my pocket.
Not to mention the chicks on the original show were way hotter.
I am not sure that the blonde Cylon chick in the new one is not a guy.

Does this imply that movies have been lying to us all along? :-)
I did not know about those sites. I will make sure to bookmark them. Thanks, MPA.

That does not mean that other denizens of the valley are in the same situation.
What about stopping wasting your time with stupid social media, and getting a life instead?
git is not a company.
I respectfully differ - Microsoft is, of course, git. The gittest, actually.
... The mobile phone industry remains anchored in the 90s.

This will come to nothing. In a few months time, with the exception of a very small circle, nobody will even remember it.
