My point (and I get yours) is that Schiller and by extension Apple, has totally insulted a large group of people, both present, past and future, when they called themselves "courageous".
Oh yeah, Apple is "courageous" for dropping the headphone jack; but firefighters? Nah, they're not "courageous" like Apple, they just do their jobs, which is run into burning buildings.
All those WW soldiers? Bah! They're not "courageous" like Apple, they just went out to fight some bad guys.
can pinpoint any man-made structures in any country on earth to a resolution of five meters. Facebook is using the data to understand the precise distribution of humans around the planet.
They'll announce it, and Phil Schiller will come on stage and say they've innovated their ass off, and figured out a way not to need to ship it with a remote.
"Just like the iPhone doesn't need a headphone jack, just like the MacBooks don't need a SD card slot, the new AppleTV doesn't need a remote! Why? Well, there's already millions of remotes out there: the iPhone. All you need to use the new AppleTV is an iPhone 7/7S/7+/7S+/8. And because we don't need to ship it with a remote, it's now $5 less! Aren't we just great?"
But that line has nothing to do with the ruling - it specifically about how LinkedIn is pretending to 'protect' their users in that statement, as if it was trying to do them a favor "fighting" this.
By your logic, they should revise their statement then:
We will continue to fight to protect our data we extracted from our members and the ability to control the information they make available to us, here on LinkedIn"
Quick, there's still time for you to call them and tell them to revise it!
We will continue to fight to protect our members' ability to control the information they make available on LinkedIn
If users added their info, and made it public, it's not up to LinkedIn to decide what users want to protect.
Besides, given LinkedIn's past behavior with scraping people's contacts/address books on their PCs and email accounts, it has no lessons to give anyone else.
I just love how TicketMaster's claimed in the past it was powerless in the face of bots operated by scalpers buying tickets for resale, as if they couldn't possibly implement any type of time-limited processing to slow down these bots, you know like iOS/Android have done to limit the usefulness of brute-force attacks?
I look forward to see Amazon wiping the stage floor using TicketMaster's butt after each show.
If you (or anyone else wondering) still need to run ethernet between rooms where you haven't got CAT cable, get a couple a DirecTV DECA for each end that needs an ethernet connection (make sure to get the power supply with each - you'll need them) and connect that to the coax cable.
Works great to get ethernet where you might not be able to pull in proper ethernet cable, and still provides decent speeds.
That's why iOS' "kludgy" Back Button at the top left is apparently far superior to what Android does. In iOS the "button" says "Back to Safari", "Back to Mail", etc., so there is ZERO ambiguity as to what will happen when tapping it.
... and totally unreachable using your thumb without stretching it... or using two hands (unless you want to risk dropping your slippery expensive iDevice). Yeah, FAR superior....
I've found the Android buttons to be consistent in their functionality across both the OS and apps. Back means "go back from where I am", and the other two, well, they have perfectly defined single functions (as opposed to Apple's multi-function-single-button on their multi-touch devices).
Doesn't work very well, especially when you have a case on (which you MUST, if you want the darn expensive thing to retain any resell value). Either it does it half-way and snaps back, or doesn't register the wipe correctly at all (and depending on the actual UI displayed, might do something destructive).
Having a separate and easily accessible 'back' soft button at the bottom (like most Android devices have) is both simpler to activate, and more logical and obvious to use (doesn't require any 'discovery' at all, and no 'reaching' to the opposite of the screen to activate it).
I didn't actually realize they were referring to a physical button - I was actually thinking the "soft" buttons (triangle, circle and square at the bottom of many Android devices, which I prefer over Apple's implementation). I agree that a physical button (any physical button, even the iPhone's) is an inferior experience on a touch device. In my view, Android got this navigation behaviour right, whereas Apple desperately wants to "keep it simple" at the actual cost of simplicity by making it a "Jack of all trades".

I could go on....
Ever since Schiller's said that word, it's nearly lost all meaning.
Translation: stalk.

just different group, this time it's geeks (though the Wall Street gang is getting in on things I see).

Where was the exec 1/2 hour or the hour before the end of the talk so that he could properly warn them not to give the talk?
If you ask me, it's the exec that needs to be fired.
Was this submitted by Trump himself?
Forgot to add that these are readily available on ebay for cheap (much cheaper than dedicated coax->ethernet conversion boxes).

"Google is Testing Pissing Users Off Even More Quickly"
"Just fork it" isn't that easy.
At which point you say "Just fuck it".
Peace out.
Boy, you just love being eristical, don't you!
Right, because your own incessant replies weren't being picayune at all....
Just because you can't stand someone not having the exact same opinion as yourself, doesn't make you completely right - even I know that!
I prefer companies the don't ignore established regulations and have respect for employees and customers.
