  1. Didn't I see this in the last Bourne movie? And here I thought that was just they typical Hollywood tech cluelessness.

    Who said anything about buying a wii u in 2017? They've been around longer than just this year. But in my ancedotal experience most parents of kids old enough to play minecraft already have a wii u so... no need to get a new console just to play minecraft.

    But the Nintendo Wii U has minecraft, you don't need an xbox for the kids to play it on the console.

    A monumental effort on who's part? It seems to me that this monumental effort would have to be on the part of the politicians and government workers. But how likely is this? Especially with Trump coming into office.

  6. Easier said than done. I've been looking for a 40" 1080p LED TV without smart tv that comes from a major manufacturer and have been coming up fairly empty.

  7. Re: Bubble, idiot on Microsoft Could Be First Tech Company To Reach Trillion-Dollar Market Value: Analyst (geekwire.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "they still hold a 90% desktop market share" I find that hard to believe. I work for a Fortune 50 company and the vast majority of people I come in contact with around the company use Macs. When I'm in large group meetings and look around I see a sea of Mac Books. And this isn't a technology company. We are a manufacturing company. Of course this is just one anecdote from one company, but I see the same thing at coffee shops, conferences, people's homes, etc. They either use mac book laptops, tablets (not the surface), or phones (not Microsoft phones). Other than Outlook and Powerpoint I see few MS products being used. I've actually been surprised that they've been able to stay in business and not they are talking about MS reaching 1 trillion? I'm honestly flabbergasted.

    That is too funny!

    "how is it possible that decades of savage partisan investigation have somehow never managed to lead to an arrest for ANYTHING?" You can't seriously be that naive. Powerful elite people like Hillary have connections and influence to insure that that would never happen.

  10. That is an astonishingly high number in my opinion. Unbelievable I'd even say.

  11. I'm a mac user so I've moved to Ulysses.

  12. Nope. I'm already working on moving all of my notes out and closing my account. I'm encouraging others to do the same.

  13. You grocery list clearly indicates you are a liberal commie socialist.

    "making information and truth more accessible, and policing the content in an open and rigorous way" I sure hope you are being sarcastic.

  15. This looks good. The two main problems I see are 1. There isn't a way that I can see to group notes into "folders" and 2. There isn't a way that I can see to export/backup all of my notes (that is, I want a zip file of all of my notes in a non-proprietary text format).

  16. Ever since the recent change to only allowing two devices to access a free account I have been meaning to switch my notes. This is just accelerating that need.

    What about my freedom to be free of your secondhand smoke?

    "But so far the NSA hasn't been protecting us for our enemies." But, how do you know that? Maybe they have protected us from thousands of attacks, but nobody is perfect so we only hear about the ones that slip through. Or maybe not. But how would we know? They could be doing an outstanding job or a terrible job at protecting us and we would have no idea either way.

    So, under Obama we are 180 degrees from the constitution. But Trump is 180 degrees from Obama. Therefore under Trump we will line up exactly with the Constitution?

  22. MS is still around? on Microsoft Announces Visual Studio For Mac (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    If it wasn't for my company using Outlook, I wouldn't even be aware that MS was still in business. I don't think I've used any other MS product in 10+ years. That's pretty crazy to think about since for the first 10+ years I was using computers the majority of the software I used was from MS.

  23. My favorite is when they have "Center of Excellence" in their name. So... you were just barely formed, but your are already excellent? How exactly does that work?

  24. Somehow... how? Presidents can be impeached, but how do you stop a president-elect from becoming president?

  25. What are the protesters hoping to accomplish? Do they seriously think they can somehow what has happened by complaining about it?
