WTF are you talking about? I said nothing about his opinion. In fact he's pretty happy. He's always pushing his Motorolas. He does that "wave to wake the camera thing" all day. He loved the trips. His wife, umm expectedly, hated the fact he was gone all the time. Or should he be fired because he has a human wife, that loves his company? If that's your view of the world, it's pretty dark.
Really, I have no idea where you saw me saying that he badmouthed anything.. or have i been trolled? That's the only thing that makes sense.
My cousin's hubby is a phone engineer at motorola. He's busted his ass going back and forth to china, helping them create phones, helping teach them how to create phones. My cousin was pissed - he was gone so much. All he brought back was a cup from the local Starbuck's. Too much working to get a real present.
And all for naught. I've heard nothing but meh or worse about these new phones. They've taken the Moto-ness out and put the corporate-ness in. Motorola is gone. And he's likely to need to polish his resume soon. It's sadness all around.
I know i'll get downmodded (probably from both sides)...
But i remember an election in Louisiana, between a white supremacist, and a corrupt politician. A slogan was "Vote for the crook; it's important!"
The crook did win... and later he was in fact indicted on something.
I don't think Hillary is a crook, at least not in the corrupt sense. I think the email server thing was a "I hate State Department IT, it's so bad" and she did what she shouldn't have done. It's criminal.
But i'd still rather have her warts than the gigantic holes in knowledge and ability that Trump has.
Trump, son of a millionaire real estate developer, is somehow not entitled since birth? A person who took a loan of a million back in 1978 could call that a small amount, is not entitled? A person who took advances on an inheritance...
A company falling down the tubes may automate because they may save enough money to keep afloat.
A successful company that only cares about the profit margin may automate because they inflate profit margins and dividends.
it's cheaper for both entities.
Now, a larger company may realize "hey, these employees, we can kind of call them customers too". Im not sure how the economy will be if everything is automated, nobody gets any wages, and nobody has any money to buy things. It's a serious flaw in capitalism, but lets table that flame/troll war for a while.
Bottom line is: if one is a pure capitalist, you always want cheaper costs, so you'd automate at the point where it's cheaper long run to do so. Robots can be cheaper than minimum wage, union workers or no. Also, if you're an American Capitalist, you believe in externalizing, or making it someone else's problem. So, you don't care that your (former) workers have no money, that's someone else's problem. Until it finally comes around where they have no money to buy your product, and at that time you're golden-parachuted out, and it's still someone else's problem.
... gets surprised that Apple pushes back at an attempt to get away from paying them.
The music thing seems like a red herring. I guess Spotify has to throw random stuff in the media to confuse the issue.
I'm pissed that Amazon won't port Amazon Prime TV to the AppleTV 4. But at least they never whined "Hey, they hate us because we compete with iTunes downloads" They basically just said "we don't like their control, and we have our own platform, so nyaah"
No. It's Microsoft's part for saying they'd do something this useful (sigh, a different walled garden though) and instead dropping it for something nobody wants.
for me, this is iMessage to iMessage, SMS doesn't get involved in it.
Yes, you can also have Continuity send SMS to your desktop if they're close. But we don't do this, partly for this reason, partly because we get SMS messages more for notifications that we don't want to clutter up our laptop iMessage feed.
My wife has taken over the laptop, and she messages me a lot from the laptop. She'll be on some webpage and then send texts and things from a full keyboard.
If i have a phone, i have SMS. If I have a phone, i may or may not have Skype. If I actually had an MS Phone, this becomes a non-feature for me, and I'm pissed that MS decides to play these games.
Anyone else remember HTTP kernel modules like Tux? "hey, lets parse unfiltered unverified data in the kernel" that needed to die, and luckily enough it eventually did
In a class i had, where i was an undergrad in a grad class, we did some UI design. We had a kitchen tool. We discussed it, and a guy rendered it on the fly. It basically was a small iMac, that mounted underneath a counter, and a slide out iPod/iPhone. THis was in 1995.
Should we sue? nahh. Should we have pantented it? Nahh. It's a normal design. A touch screen of roundrects. The secret sauce of the iphone isn't just one thing, isn't the industrial design. There were many smartphones before it. It's the blend, how everything fits together. That takes work. That takes years. A drawing isn't an iPhone
even better: He claims to be an independent, then flames the democrats for being mean to republicans.
And don't call him a scumbag. Above all, he (or she) is an american. We're all in this together. Part of what makes Trumpism tick is the feeling of abandonment by all parties. If you're so upset about politics that you're willing to follow an orange faced fake haired buffoon who gleefully shouts how he breaks promises (all 6 times he declared bankruptcy is breaking promises to pay) that flies to the UK the day of Brexit and has no idea of what the hell is going on, you're in pretty bad shape. You need help more and explanations more than scorn.
We're an ansible shop. So, the fact that this now blends our software builds with our deployment builds is actually cool for us, in a non-buzzword way. YMMV.
Back in year 2000 some people i knew defaced AT&T billboards including tags about the NSA listening. This isn't all that new. Sadly, not a lot of pushback. When was the last time (or more likely, any time) you've talked about a stingray and your phone?

I've heard:
Democrats are tax and spend. Republicans are borrow and spend.
In that context, Democrats slightly better, at least they realize there's a cost.

It sucks that people can't lave others alone.
But forgetting that "people are real assholes sometimes", here you have a game that leads someone with a multi-hundred dollar smartphone to a location not necessarily controlled by them. May you live in interesting times.
Weave me a cone yoo cupid bat.
Everything old is new again....
Us old Mac folks remember MacOS, which is what they called it when the Mac clones came out. They went back to System 7, and System 8, 9.
ArsTechnica has a decent review, even though its still beta
Unlimited Data. $50 a month. Roaming data in 100+ countries. Free rental of WiFI router.
I'm glad that Verizon is being forced to acknowledge that customers are beings other than walking wallets, but TMobile is just better., Sorry.

For mechanical devices that go 80 miles an hour on the expressway and can kill Star Trek actors because of bad transmission UI design, it's awful.
No. It's Microsoft's part for saying they'd do something this useful (sigh, a different walled garden though) and instead dropping it for something nobody wants.

Interesting graphs
If you look for "overall result" you see a yellow blue map for leave/remain. Scotland is pretty much all Yellow (remain).
well, it's a french term. "White card", allowing you access to anything.

Someone claims independent status. Then flames Democrats for talking bad about Republicans.. when an independent wouldn't have a horse in that race.
Umm, OK. I guess there's some explanation there. Somehow.
