Google has fairly strong competition with Firefox on Android.
Say what? Firefox on Android has market share of half a percent. Shit, desktop Linux had a higher market share than that when Microsoft was prosecuted for monopoly practices. Browsers like Opera Mini have ten times the market share of Firefox on Android. It may as well not exist for all the presence it has.
TV is still 720. Movies are 1080. What's the point of 4K again?
To persuade everyone who's bought an HD TV to spend again? The market for HD TVs is pretty much saturated so they need some new gimmick to get people to keep buying.
You don't even need vacuum tubes/valves, just build a valve sound simulator and you can get all the distortion and noise of the genuine tube/valve sound without any of the heat, fragility, and power consumption. It's a win/win situation.
Yeah, first of all, you should have mentioned Vitamix Professional series blenders. They are faster and louder.
Nah, what you need is Turnex, son of Durex, the blender for the next millennium. Not only is it faster and louder, but it can also be turned into the most powerful vacuum cleaner!
Oh cool, a developer. Do you have a means for people to submit what-about-X attack questions? Your Security section is a bit too incomplete for me:-). For example it looks like the tamper mesh only covers the two shells that surround the circuit board, what if I penetrate the side of the circuit board, inject PU foam under pressure to lock the switches, and then separate the halves? What if I use a targeted magnetic field to lock the switches? What if I use oil-well perforators to knock out the switches, or disconnect power/signal lines to tamper-responding circuitry? etc.
One thing I'm puzzled about is how they're going to build this for $25K in funding. I've worked on highly-secure computing devices and $25K was the down payment on the FIPS eval, not the development budget. OK, I realise FIPS is a waste of money so it doesn't make for a good benchmark, but you still can't get much engineering out of $25K, particularly not the specialised stuff they're doing.
I can still unlock my iPhone using skin contact, but without using my fingers. Stand by... [zzzzippp] [pause] there, unlocked. Just give me a minute to stow things away again...
You mean the vendor that prevents printing if a single colour runs out, even if you never use that colour for printing, that Brother? I recently junked a Brother that was used for B&W printing because it kept stopping and wanting completely unused cartridges that were slowly drained by cleaning cycles replaced. They're at least as bad as HP. Are you thinking of Epson there, with their eco/super-tanks?
I kinda like my Kyocera, drop in any random OEM toner cartridge and off it goes, never had a problem with it.
It won't last long for another reason: Turns out they used locally-sourced components, of which 20% were counterfeit, 35% had been recycled from scrapped cellphones and computers, 15% were made with incorrectly-copied formulae for the electrolytic, 10% fell off the circuit board after lauch due to bad pick-and-place/soldering, and another 10% were manufacturer's rejects that had been salvaged and re-marked.
The clock is currently indicating that today is the umpteenth of Octember.
So many Chinese-made IoT ("Internet of Targets") devices do this it's not funny. It seems like very single webcam, Internet-enabled lightbulb, and magic dingus we check on phones home to half a dozen random servers all over China for who-knows-what purpose. It's not malicious, it's just sloppy programming: It's so much easier to manage and maintain the whatsit you've sold to customers all over the world when it's phoning home and checking in all the time. The fact that the capability can be hijacked by anyone who wants to isn't even considered. Both the coding and the mentality is like Microsoft circa 1992.
I work from home and live near a ski resort, which makes it very easy for me to go skiing on a regular basis during the winter. So, my typical winter workday is to start work at 6, work until 8:45 then drive to the resort, arriving right at 9 when the lifts open, ski for a couple of hours, then back home to work until 5 or so, with a break for lunch.
I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour. I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. The rest of the time, I'm off skiing.
arrogant lead developers who see Firefox as the coded manifestation of their egos
This has to be the best one-line description of what Firefox has become I've seen. Wish I could mod you +6 ("You're on +5 Insightful here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're modded +5. Where can you go from there? Where? Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Mod to +6").
Intel makes BBs? I didn't even know, until now, that they did that, The vendors that spring immediately to mind when someone mentions BBs are Qualcomm, MediaTek, Broadcom, and... umm... Intel makes basebands? Did they buy someone?
Actually you are supposed to buy it. Maybe not you, but the sort of people who shop at places like this. Unfortunately Sony may have misread the market, mere $5,000 for a "walkman" and headphones really can't be taken seriously by real HiFi afficionados, you'd need at least another zero added for it to be worthwhile for them, or even two. You can buy a $100,000 DAC (not the player, just the DAC) and pair it with a $200,000 amp (mono, so you'll need two) to drive your embarassing $2,300 Sony phones (about the same price as an Ultrasone Edition 10, but not hand-made in Bavaria). True audio purists know that quality = cost, and $5,000 is a poor show compared to systems that can set you back a million dollars or more.

If the 80% level is labelled 100, then the 100% level should be labelled 125.
Nah, the 80% level should be labelled 10 and the 100% level 11. You see, most batteries, you know, will be charging to ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your battery. Where can you go from there? Where? What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Charge it up to eleven.

In fact, the paper bag was invented by a woman to serve baked goods in, at least the white one Apple describes
Specifically, she was selling baked Apples, buy Apple was too baked at the time to realise it.

Send me money, send me green.
Heaven you will meet.
Make a contribution.
And you'll get a better seat.

Samsung should sell all the recalled phones to ISIS, I'm sure they'd have a use for them.
Microsoft's Windows Phone OS dropped below 1 percent mark share
Actually Windows Phone OS has 23% market share, only it's running on desktops not phones.

There's actually a really easy way, steal some BTC from some ridiculously insecure mechanism like a brain wallet, then go to a carder forum and buy someone else's credit card. Then you can buy all the drugs, pr0n, and other crap you like, and someone else will get prosecuted for it.

Okay, I admit it. I did not know that was an actual word.
Oh I'm sorry sir, I'm anaspeptic, frasmotic, even conpunctuous to have cased you such pericombobulations.

Dear Mosquitos,
See what we did to those bees? If you don't shape up, you're next.

If the "problem" was "resolved" how about linking to a story that actually describes the problem?
Since it was in Austria, probably a dingo ate the router. Or kangaroos cut the cables. Or they were chewed by feral dropbears.
