  1. Does that apply to Chrome on iOS? Because it is just a Chrome wrapper on top of WebKit. One of Apple's other rules prevents Google from using Blink.

  2. Apple charges a 30% fee for apps to do business on their app store. This would allow web sites to dilute the need for those apps. Apple isn't about to give away that kind of control.

  3. saturation on Apple Discontinues iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    I have the last three phones I used as daily drivers. One is the living room remote, another is the bedroom remote and yet another is a media player. There are simply too many devices that can do what these devices were purpose built to do. And they have more functionality.

    Not if they lost control of the pipes. They are playing the long game. They have gotten into the content delivery game and as such compete against Netflix and Amazon for the same customers. Without NN Netflix can be gouged to be allowed to access the ISP's customers. Netflix has to raise their rates to cover the cost and now they aren't as competitive as the ISP's offering.

    I remember when HP bought Compaq oh so many years ago. HP found out Toshiba was charging HP more for the same HDD than they were Compaq. Fun times.

    So, you agree with me. You just don't know you're agreeing with me because you didn't fully comprehend what I posted. I didn't say you had to act immediately. I said if you ignored it you would suffer bodily harm. The anger in your post indicates you've been ignoring it for an extended length of time.

    You're inability to comprehend this subject is understandable. As humans we like to believe we are above other animals because we are "smart". I clearly stated my reaction to my body's impulses was up to me. What was not was my body's response to external stimulus. Using your example. If I was able to "control my biology" I would simply not ever need to go piss or shit. Since I am not able to control that portion of my biology I do in fact frequent facilities designed for the expulsion of said waste products. Of course you were just attempting to paint me as a knuckle-dragging nincompoop so as to discredit my assertion. You don't happen to work for CNN do you?

    It isn't emotion it is biology. So to answer your question...no. I cannot work around women without my body responding biologically. My blood pressure will go up. My hormones are going to kick in. My body will respond physiologically. How I respond to those impulses is up to me. But if, as society says I should, I suppress them it will cause physical illness and in many cases mental illness as well. I'm tired of SJW's who know jack shit about biology act as if there isn't a root cause to all the sexual tension in a mixed gender workplace. Women (all people) should be treated with respect and disrespectful activity should be punished regardless of whether it is sexual in nature or not. But to have a casual compliment branded as harassment because a woman ran to HR after you said her dress was pretty is just INSANE! Extremism on either end of the spectrum needs to be stopped. There should be a middle ground and when there is a misunderstanding it should be addressed in a mature manner. Today maturity is almost non-existent in society. Your response is just as harmful as the guy catcalling. If you have none of the symptoms of biology I elude to above then you are a minority. For most it isn't as black and white as you make it out. And in most situations there are always more than one side to the story. Now put your pitchforks and torches away.

  11. Intel has a reputation for being microsoft-style predatory

    Microsoft is amateurish in its predatory practices next to Intel.

    A hypothetical situation.
    A certain former PC powerhouse with a Q in their name had the fastest system bus architecture in the industry at the time. Chip company I requested access to the architecture so they could design their CPU's to take full advantage of the bus. Chip company I signed a NDA and all the legal mumbo jumbo about not stealing IP. Six months later Chip company I introduces system boards with the bus running on their own silicon. Company sues. Chip company I says OK since you are suing us we cannot sell chips to you directly. You will have to by them from a re-seller. Company knows this will bankrupt them in short order and agrees to license bus for free.

  12. Actually, as a car analogy, it's more like measuring engine block sales by seeing what engines people are running the quarter mile in. That Camero is PROBABLY not running a stock engine.
