This will be used to make those "Your machine is infected" ads look even better for non-tech people to fall for. Anything browser related should be clearly in the browser!
They need to add a non-minimalistic mode. I have no problem with minimalism as a heavy user, but from my experience light users prefer a more traditional interface where everything isn't hidden. Firefox allows you can turn the menus back on so that takes care of many of the problems.
I never recommend Chrome to my low tech friends (or parents) for this reason.
How about we build our own bundle? Or better, pick our movies/series and lose the channel system completely. That way the creators hopefully get more of the money.
As the market matures there is less difference between phone versions. The cost/hassle of upgrading every year or two is not worth the benefit.
Apple moving to a three year major release cycle only confirms this trend. Redesigns cost big money so like cars they want to get more from their engineering spend.
Agreed. I don't know why these surveys can't differentiate between a true e-reader with an e-ink screen and other LCD/LED type devices. They are completely different experiences. E-ink devices typically don't do much else so there is no interruption from the device itself.
The only problem I see with computer printed ballots is that it allows for easier ballot box stuffing. When everyone manually fills in the circle or completes the line you get a lot of variation even with that simple action. Printed ones look all time same and would be more difficult to verify as cast by humans.
You didn't say how much space was needed, but many people have next to nothing on their machines. Copy whatever is appropriate onto as many family/friends machines as possible. Also 1TB drives are very cheap, store copies offsite with those.
Whatever you do, keep it as simple as possible (e.g. no RAID). Reevaluate things every 5-10 years to be sure whatever medium you use isn't becoming obsolete/unreadable.
The trouble is advertising is not a fixed number. Firms are constantly looking for ways to increase ad revenue from the same product. Let's add a couple more spots. How about some product placement. Lets sell sponsorships for these segments. It's a never ending process.
Ultimately they don't seem to care that they are devaluating the very medium used to get the message across.
I would constantly get lost in the original game and thus didn't enjoy it much. I'm horrible with real life directions, so I don't think my brain is wired well for full 3D where you need to keep track of even more.
From Wikipedia: Feed (2002) is a young adult science fiction novel written by M. T. (Matthew Tobin) Anderson. The novel focuses on issues such as corporate power, consumerism, information technology, data mining, and environmental decay, occasionally from a sardonic perspective. The novel depicts American society's descent into a culture that revolves entirely around advertising and corporate gain from the perspective of an American teenager and his friends.
Right up there with digital versions of films. Maybe I want to watch something longer than 2-3 years after I buy it. Oh and if we don't support your device, too bad.
As with movies, the quality of extras varies greatly. Simple goof reels and dry technical descriptions are one thing, but when they take the time to find real stories in the process it's a whole different world. On a movie you truly like, a good commentary and collection of extras videos can be as enjoyable as the movie itself.
Touch screen systems in cars need something like this. Then they'll need a system to determine when you stop feeling for a button and actually press it.
It's funny how marketing departments/companies push for ever increasing ad revenue and then wonder why we want to get around them. You think they would have learned something from radio and TV.
Unless they have some new miracle system, coatings tend to come off over time. If it's anything like glasses, you'll start to see it coming off around the edges and slowly working towards the inside. You'd certainly lose that non-reflective goodness if you had to use a screen protector to avoid this.
Since many security systems are based on large prime numbers (e.g. SSL), I've always wondered if having a huge list of primes would weaken those system? Seems like it would have to unless I'm missing something.
Usually if I buy a new drive, it's to rotate out an older one. My "test" is to copy the mostly full drive onto the new one and keep the old drive on the shelf for a couple months in case of problems. Most drives either suffer an early death or last a good number of years. After 2-3 months I'll reuse the old drive for other storage needs.

While I'm impatiently waiting until the 16TB drives are released so the 12TB prices will come down to reasonable levels.

How many of them are bots?
.. while leaving radiologists with more time for interacting with patients and medical staff.
It will leave more time for radiologists to review additional flagged scans since that will probably make them the most money.

Facebook is probably used for more fraud than TeamViewer.
Calling something AI as a marketing term doesn't make it real.

Was a story about that last month.

I would have similar issues. However I'd guess that a generation of kids growing up using them every day would learn to adapt.

You have a very dim view on technology. Not so long ago voice recognition was near impossible without training.
