    And it's still incompetently designed and produced.

    That was the time when the market was still unexplored and very far away from the saturation we have now. There's no comparison with today's market.

  3. Don't forget that it is very hard to come up with new disruptive technologies regularly. The iPhone and iPad were more or less logical enhancements of the iPod at the time they were released. What scares me more is that Apple discontinues all the fine equipment and technologies that made their Macs and iDevices work so well: the Aiports, Time Machine, Mac Mini, AirTunes... That compared with their stubborn refusal to let their users determine where they keep their data will backfire one day. After all, Google jumped into the space Apple left with this stuff.

    Yes. An amazing amount of people do that here.

    This is mostly about people typing whatsapp messages while riding the bike. Especially young women do that so often it looks weird when you see one not doing it. They cause a lot of accidents and are a danger to themselves too. We really need to end this and the ban on using telephones on a bike is sort of the last straw that our government clings to in its efforts to end it. The problem is that there are more bicycles than people here in the Netherlands so the new law is hard to enforce.

  10. FB is a clumsy toddler in evilness compared to Google.

  11. The burden hasn't shifted at all. It was clear from the begiining that Chrome was made for Google and not for its users. The only reason it's a good browser is to get people to use it so Google gets more data.

  12. Bad picture on Giant Spiderweb Cloaks Land in Aitoliko, Greece (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The picture that comes with the article really is the worst nature pic I have ever seen. I have no idea what is on there. There is nothing redognizable apart from the water so there is nothing there to give you an indication of scale. The lighting is wrong. Composition is non-existing. Really, the article improves by not adding the picture.

    Pulling the accumulated lint out of the opening with a tooth pick or something similar helps a lot with that.

    It wasn't meant negatively towards you. More as a general statement that normally, intuition does not reflect facts. You said: "So, I guess that my intuition was wrong." With my comment I meant: "Don't worry, intuitions are usually wrong."

    Our main train company, NS (Dutch Railways) has all their trains running on wind energy now. The few other, much smaller train companies use diesels. It would be great to see those replaced by battery or H2 powered trains.
