So, they broke their iPhone. Then, to try to get it fixed on the cheap, they voided the warranty by taking it to an iFixit shop where it was repaired using unauthorized parts of unknown quality and suitability that turned out to be incompatible with an OS upgrade they knew was bound to happen. And now the complaint is Apple won't fix it after the unauthorized fix which voided the warranty. This is compounded by the reality that if Apple were to do the fix, the cost of the repair would probably be more than the phone is worth. Yeah, not so much Apple as bad actor as customer getting caught in dodgy behavior linking up with a lawyer hoping to make a name for themselves, and it appears to be working, for the lawyer. No sympathy for them here. I would expect Samsung and Google to react just like Apple if a customer did the same to their phones.
I gave up on broadcast radio years ago due to the overwhelming domination of the ads. Satellite radio with no ads, or streaming my Apple Music subscription to my car audio.
You don't see the conflict between "... both failed to turn over non-classified emails..." and your statement "... neither Powell nor Rice stored classified information from other agencies/departments..." because if the alleged non-classified material was never turned over no one knows if any of it would have been marked classified in hindsight like in Clinton's case. Remember, none of the materials on the Clinton server were marked classified at the time they landed there, only in retrospect were any of them deemed classified at the lowest level.
Intro level of politics? First Lady for 8 years, U.S. Senator, Secretary of State. Maybe you need to redefine your definition of "intro." And no one knows if Dr. Rice and Secretary Powell transmitted classified information, they weren't investigated nor did they turn their HDDs over to the FBI.
Read my post, both Rice and Powell. And no SoS conducted ALL business on a single server, they used both state department and private servers; subject matter they "expected" to be classified was on the department servers, those they felt wouldn't be classified were on the private servers. Additionally, Powell gave her advice on use of phones and email (it's in the investigation files released by the FBI). The SoS's used private servers because the state department servers were old, not updated, slow, and the system was cumbersome to use.
This wasn't mishandling, it was theft. Mrs. Clinton didn't "steal" her emails. Mrs. Clinton did as 2 of her predecessors in her job did with a personal email server, but I don't see anyone demanding the arrest of Secretary Powell or Rice. This guy obviously had no such role models in his immediate work environment, or they'd have been arrested as well.
Are there numbers on new Instagram users who are not already users of FB and vice versa? That would be a meaningful metric because simply showing the same ads to the same users on multiple interrelated platforms isn't a great value nor a great success.
Tech just hasn't advanced to the point that a smartwatch is, or will any time soon be, a crucial piece of technology for a large segment of the population.
Actually, by popular vote, it appears the "left" will have won the election by several hundred thousand votes. The candidate from the "right" ends up becoming President through the Electoral College system regardless the popular vote result. But if you feel comfy with your alternate reality in your personal echo chamber, that's cool.
Welcome to capitalism. Any product "should cost" precisely as much as the market will pay, no more and no less. Successful companies sell products at prices their customers are willing to pay, not what pundits and random people "think" the prices should be.
Common sense is not common, in fact it's extremely rare in the wild. FYI, Dorothy's slippers were ruby. People have never been able to "do what they want with what they purchased" because there have always been, and will always be, limitations. If you don't like limitations you have to design and build your own device from the ground up, in which circumstance you get everything YOU want exactly as YOU want it. Don't be surprised if someone comes along and tells you YOUR perfect device is shyte and doesn't suit them.
I went thru the list and frankly they can keep most of them. I would rather Netflix concentrated on a top 250 of all time favorite leading men and leading women and make their catalogs accessible. As the population ages in the USA, this may be a better method to improve the offerings.
As for the "original content" on Netflix, I find it to be little better than the original content on any other network. Right now they have a couple original hits but each of the traditional networks can say the same.
It takes a very special kind of vanity for a bank to accuse ANYONE else of being intransigent, closed and controlling. But then, it takes one to know one!
I forgot to mention the benevolent legal warriors who have stepped in, out of the goodness of their hearts, to lead a crusade against the vile manufacturer who dared to make a phablet that would fail under repeated abuse.
A person buys a $700 smart phone phablet that is ~7 mm thick. There are postings on the internet of the phablets bending under stress.They don't protect it with a case or they buy a flexible case for it. They know the phone is not unbreakable, not water-proof, fragile when dropped from height. They do something to bend the phone over and over and over for months. They're surprised when the phone begins to fail. They insist that they're "entitled" to have the phone they broke replaced with a new, or upgraded model, for free. Internet rage ensues. Brand warfare postings abound and flame-wars erupt. Hilarious.
And phoning home, getting hacked because of shoddy security, 3rd parties using my data to schedule break-ins, and Google pimping my data without compensation. No thanks. I need IoT in my life like I need more bankers and lawyers.
Maybe Combetta asked a question on Reddit, but nowhere does it say he actually followed through and deleted emails as a result of the question he asked or that the question was in relation to his work for Clinton; Platte River Networks has a lengthy list of clientele.
What is this "truth in advertising" you refer to? The purpose of advertising is to sell things to people that they don't need and likely can't afford, and that can't be done through truth in advertising. I have yet to see an ad for a game that is not "enhanced" in some way. The same is true for most consumer products; they're photo-shopped more than supermodels
Sling? Seriously? They're another bundler of channels. We cut the cable years ago, went with a Roku and and now subscribe to Netflix and Acorn and get Amazon Prime video as a side benefit for using prime for shopping and textbook renting (and at the $50/yr student rate). The only thing we're even remotely interested in is a 100% ala carte channel subscription option. Any service that makes us pay for channels we never watch is a non-starter.

For the retro-head for whom running Windows 95 just isn't retro enough.
Did they print pictures of naked servicewomen on the weapon as decoration?

1. easier to data mine
2. easier to deliver targeted ads
3. more control over the ad revenue

Bottom line, it's all political grandstanding.

Yes, but today, in the wrong hands, they can also be overpriced dangerous toys.
