I can use my phone far more efficiently and safely than my cars nav system, which is, absolutely, clunky. But using a handheld device in the car is illegal here. So there is a huge incentive to choose the less safe option to avoid an expensive ticket.
Good intentions and unintended consequences and all that.
If people could just replace the battery when it gets old, many people would choose not to buy new phones.
That is the primary reason why they are becoming less common. They interfere with planned obsolescence. Any other reason you may hear is just attempted rationalization.
Exactly. I have a handful of apps I use quite regularly, a bunch I use occasionally, and many I have used only once or twice that I just keep around in case I need them again.
When I get a new phone I will try to move all my apps to it and I will be set again. A new app that actually fulfills a new need for me is pretty rare.
I think Pebble got this right. I don't think of mine as a "smart watch". It is an auxiliary display for some apps on my phone, with some buttons to send some basic commands back to the apps. It does this very well, and that is all I need it to do. If you still have to carry a phone anyway, there is not much point in making the watch any smarter.
Given the number of people who seem to actually believe that the Clintons regularly have their potential enemies killed, the fact that desperately obsessing over emails is all they have says a lot.
It's no wonder that the nations with the highest meat consumption have the highest rates of lifestyle diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc.
Yes, tree rings are a remarkably bad proxy for temperature. As you say, availability of water, competition with other trees, insects, bacteria and fungus, insolation irrespective of temperature, availability of soil nutrients - so many things affect tree growth. You have to be pretty simple to think it is only about temperature.
The problem is that Apple itself is in the music streaming market, and by requiring everyone else to use Apple's payment service (on which Apple makes a profit) instead of much cheaper third-party payment services, it is effectively granting Apple an unfair competitive advantage
It is not just the profit either. Apple then also has full insight into competitors revenue streams on its platform (ie strategic insider financial information).

For even more historical context, corals in general have been around for about half a billion years.
They will be here long after homo sapiens is no more.

Pathetic little men with guns and no redeeming value to society.
I was thinking for 2020 they might be able to get the guy from Duck Dynasty

That is what class actions are for.
Yes, for both individuals and businesses who are making a decision based on cost of ownership, HP's just went up a lot.
Probably moved them way down the list on the value for your dollar scale now. Not to mention they are no longer trustworthy either.
They are available online from a Canadian supplier for about half what they cost in the US.

I don't think you folks in the Land of the Free (cough) are allowed to import them though......

Pokemon Go need not apply.

I'm surprised he has not been quietly rendered off to Guantanamo already.
And then use your real one for everything else.

And the longest life expectancies.
Don't forget that....

It will be great for international shipping and resource exploration.
Does not sound nearly as scary as "on record" or "ever recorded"
Sounding scary is important to people with an agenda..
So have antivirus/antimalware vendors updated their definitions to detect the exploits that have been leaked so far?
That would be both useful and informative as to the scope of these programs.
the bad guys know all your host names.
Oh, wait....
Nobody sane the world over wants their data exposed to the USA.
Hard to protect against for sure, but still a worthwhile goal to shoot for.
A bit over the top but mostly correct.
Ideally the print on one finger would unlock the phone, and the print on the other 9 would wipe it.
Would also be useful to have a specific passcode that wipes the phone immediately as well.
Nobody controls the wind or the sun. You can be independent of evil energy companies.
Have at it!
They certainly could have investigated, exercised oversight, and put a stop to anything untoward.

Hard to believe it is legal.
