Without addressing the topic of whether or not someone should or should not trust google, you do realize there were plenty of people who bought these devices BEFORE google purchased the company, right? If they were the biggest google-hater in the world, how were they supposed to know that google was going to acquire the company? Guess maybe they shouldn't buy ANYTHING, because you never know what google might acquire.
You should always assume that any reasonably successful startup will be bought out a big player sooner or later, google didn't start as an alphabet thing. The more successful the sooner the buyout.
How many times has Google said "fuck you" to people who trusted them and how many times have those people returned to Google for more? Who actually trusts Google anymore?
Considering how many Android fan boys there are around here, quite a few. But then even after a decade and more of Microsoft bad practices there were plenty of MS fans. Takes all sorts.
Apple can fit quite neatly in there too. Who then do you suppose we go to for our computing needs?
Logo and branding are VERY specific and related closer to trademark then to copyright. There are always forms and papers on how the logo should look, what colors must be used, what if it is in black and white and a lot of other things.
We have one of them that states very specifically in quite strong terms when the business name is written down each word MUST start with a capital letter.....the logo is all lowercase/facepalm
Musk can't copyright the name of a famous scientist.
TRADEMARK, not copyright... and yes he can, but only for a narrow commercial purpose. Elon owns the trademark "Tesla" as a car brand. NVIDA owns the trademark "Tesla" as a GPU brand.
So Young Children Should be exposed to naked Adults.
You are Familiar with out puritan forefathers?
But it is Not The Issue.
In Fact it is Not a Pre-Op Transgender issue.
It is the Non-Transgender people (and Teens on a dare) That will Abuse the law for a free peek.
Do you see many guys hanging out naked in the toilets flapping their junk around for all to see? No? What makes you think women do that then?
Turns out, you can. The magic is medicine, surgery and money. Are you advocating he TSA or whoever take over public restrooms too and you have to submit your birth certificate and to a junk check before you can take a piss?
I'm cool with gay marriage and LBGTWTF rights and all, but I think that this is ridiculous. If you have a penis, use the boys room. If you don't you'll make everyone else in the womens room uncomfortable. Once you get your penis chopped off and a vagina installed, you can use the girls room.
Why? If you look like a woman but still have your male junk and go in the women's, you'd go into a stall before getting anything out and no one else in there would be any the wiser. It's not like they come in, piss in the sink, flip everyone off and walk out squeezing tits and ass on the way.
Her exact words 'Oh that will take about 1 second for some pervo to take advantage of that'
Basically stalker pervos (and they exist) will just go into the wrong bathrooms to get their jollies. Then claim 'oh I dont identify that way' and get off scott free. THAT is why we have separate bathrooms.
'no no honey its ok there is a 40 year old man in that bathroom watching you'.
C'mon, she should know better. What's with the idea women's toilets are a utopia where women run naked in the fields or something? They're marginally less grotty than ours, they go in, do their business in a stall then wash their hands (probably) and leave. There could be an woman, man or alien taking a dump in the stall next to them and they would be oblivious.
If the person identifies as male, and looks like a male, but is forced to use a women's restroom, it'll probably create more problems than just letting them use the gender bathroom they identify with.
Exactly, it's not like they're going to put a guard on every toilet checking birth certificates.
There are more women than men at most universities but they seldom study anything useful (no offense). It's college for college's sake. If you want to get more women in 'STEM' you could start by killing Gender Studies.
No one seems to mind Gender Studies is mostly filled with women though.
Ok, and how do they determine what I'm torrenting? Will they hack my browser for downloading Ubuntu? or Battlefield? or any number of peer-to-peer updating software?
How will they catch those that are simply streaming from legitimate sources and recording the screen?
Oh, come now. Every one knows there are no lawful uses of torrent it's purely for nefarious online crime. In fact even being aware of it makes you a pirate, pay up Mr.....Anonymous Coward, wait, damn.
Yeah, but the first time one gets caught with a bomb up his nose it's get that grabber thing from total recall and stick it up every ones nose and so on.
"Extortion"? Really? Really? Yes, if you own TV and are capable of receiving live TV you pay. Don't like that don't have an aerial and get on with your life.
Extortion? Basically yes. You own a TV? Pay us. You don't want to watch or partake in any of the bbcs services? Tough, you have the capability to technically be able to receive our signals, pay up! Doesn't matter there no way you can block it out and prove you don't use it. Pay the fuck up! I live here too and it's shit mate! But you enjoy your dickensons real deal, ad free. BBC already is lowest common denominator only they don't have to care if people are watching or not so they don't even make vaguely entertaining shows all they care is you pay them so they can keep doing whatever the fuck they want to do.
For digital catch-up services we could have a single application for BBC, ITV, Ch4 and Ch5 but Sky objected so it's fragmented despite the BBC's attempt to work in the public interest.
The BBC would only want that so they can mandate more people having to pay TV licencse. Nothing to do with public interest.
But it is a a ripoff, which is why I don't bother with it. Forget the fact the where I live I can pick up practically no channels over the air other than the most very basic. Then they take the best channel of the air to make it "online only" (bbc3) They leave 4 online showing the same kind of stuff as 2 then they fill 1 and 2 with pure dribble for the most part. Oh gotta watch me some of that high brow bargain hunt, or shitty shitty daytime game show, or benefits saints and scroungers. The state of bbc tv is an absolute joke. All the money gets poured into the the 7pm-9pm slot and they still can only come out with shit like eastenders and downton fucking abbey. The only bbc that gets any screentime in my house and is actually worth anything to me is cbbc, and that's still nothing but repeats and cheap links, luckily for them their target audience doesn't know/care about such things. Also, anyone seen the new cbbc logo. If they spent more than £1.44 it was yet another waste of licence fee money. Fuck the BBC, they're obsolete and crap. They cling to the licence fee with tooth and nail because without it no one would voluntarily pay it for their crap and they know it.

1. Start up
2. Sell out
3. Bro down

Does the expiration of my dishwasher warranty allow the company to send a guy to my home to permanently disable it?
Isn't that what those little cards they want you to send back are for?
This minimalism thing is getting really out of hand.
Indeed. Reduce minimalism!
But I thought less was more?
If you want a ugly logo look up the new cbbc one. Unless you're in the uk and have little kids you probably won't have come across it

I'll let you guess which is which.
I guess they already plan to Split The Atom Further. Keysight will be split into Peephull and Analitech, according to the latest rumors.
Anal iTech, is that apple's new thing? Sounds sexy

Who said a MRI is dangerous? Thousands of people have them every day with no increase in cancer risk.
I don't know about cancer but MRIs are not harmless. People have been killed/injured by magnetic quench and RF heating of undetected foreign material.
When and where?
I am not sure you can determine what side I am on from that comment, but either way...
I think you can determine what side you're on from the deluge of comments in this tread announcing your view as flat out fact.
Musk can't copyright the name of a famous scientist.

And C&C owns "Tesla" as a tank

My wife *just* found out about this.

Nice try, but no sigar!
Shame, you really, really, really wanna a sig a sigar
Maybe they could join with my campaign to ban the evil chemical dihydrogenmonoxide. It's the cause of so much trouble!
Found the gold bug!
Remind me again, was it the Illuminati or the Lizard Men who took us off the Gold Standard?
Which ones run the banks?
my daughter is in year 8 not 7, so she'll miss out. and I don't get to play with it!
Don't worry I'm sure she'll be able to grab one off the bus seat or wherever else these year 7s are just going to leave the things.
Oh please do bugger off.
