By achiever, I mean someone who achieved the most in a given year"
The Time award is not for achievement but for the person or thing that has most influenced the news in a particular year.
That, unquestionably, for this year is Donald Trump
By achiever, I mean someone who achieved the most in a given year. Like in 2001, when Osama got it for 9/11, Bush should have gotten it, since he toppled the Taliban by the end of November or mid December.
Actually, Rudolph Giuliani got it in 2001. Dubya the year before. Osama never did. Thanks for trying.
Oh BTW, the Taliban are still doing their thing. Mission accomplished.
And while Trump's election was a big deal, he hasn't actually done anything (except win an election), and won't until late January 2017. This isn't the Nobel Peace Prize which you can win just because they think you're going to do big things.
For the last 20 years just winning the US Presidential election was enough to get it. There have only been 4 occassions since 1964 that the newly elected President wasn't given it, and on all of those occasions that person got it the year before or during that term... It is an American publication after all.
Well, they certainly will name Trump POTY next year, after his assassination by one of his disappointed voters because he ran America into the ground again.
Time magazine, being mainstream American corporate media, would do well to give Trump the nod in order to try and get into his good graces and thus increase the odds of access.
You mean in the same way they made Hitler the Man Of The Year. Yeah, makes sense.
Here's the same story from USA Today. In case they're a state-sponsored mouthpiece for Russia or some other government here's the same story from Fortune. I'll leave it up to you to do a quick web search to find dozens of other sites reporting on the story. Even Fox has a version of the story and while they're a mouthpiece, it's not a state-sponsored Russian one.
I can show you hundreds of stories telling us that CNN aired 30 minutes of porn - and yet it hasn't happened. And just like those are all based on just one "fake news" tweet, your "other" sources are all based on that one exclusive RT interview.
Apparently you think the only two smart phones in existence are the iPhone and the Galaxy Note 7. Boy are you in for a surprise if you ever crawl out of your basement and actually visit a store that sells cell phones.
It's not really a thing, but in many devices taking the battery out is much faster than holding down a set combination of buttons for quite a long time and hoping no one bumps you along the way.
If "taking the battery out is much faster than holding down a set combination of buttons for 'quite a long time' " (for values of `quite long`of a few seconds), then accidentally removing your battery is an actual possibility.
Hive Minds RULE!! I can tell you in the G+ apple groups anyone not conforming and worshiping apple in the highest is banned from the group. No wonder you dont find any snarkiness.
Well, yes. Everybody in "G+ apple groups" is a dick, and you are one of them. Gee, I wonder if any of them have even touched an Apple product in years, let alone actually own one.
No, they were just designed to break easily under normal use. Totally fair!
So you are saying there is a design failure? Because relatively few of the million of iPhone 6 Plus actually are affected, and the others fail to break as designed?
That recession was going to happen no matter what. And guess what -- It was predicted by the Anderson Forecast in 2000. Guess who's administration that was under? Wasn't Bush.
The UCLA Anderson Forecasters first raised eyebrows with a recession forecast one year ago (December 2000), at a time when such a pessimistic view was deemed at best, premature and at worse, wrong, by other national forecasters.
The US was already heading down the recession path when 9/11 happened a year later.
Dude, just quote the actual prediction:
UCLA Anderson Forecasters Predict a Short and Shallow Recession for the U.S, Followed by a Weak Expansion; California Is Weighed Down by Weak High-Tech Sector, But Will Turn Around by Mid-2002
That's not a prediction about the "Big R" during Dubya's presidency.
But we didn't see a russian security firm level the same accusation at Google.
Reading comprehension fail. I said that Google needs to do it, I was not accusing Google of currently doing it.
If they don't, why do they say so in their Privacy Policy
When you use our services or view content provided by Google, we automatically collect and store certain information in server logs. This includes:
- telephony log information like your phone number, calling-party number, forwarding numbers, time and date of calls, duration of calls, SMS routing information and types of calls.
Reason why Russian security firms can't see that (*) is because it isn't stored accessible by you on your own Google account. (*) Or can't tell you they can, because that would require hacking Google's server.
Because a failure rate of a few dozens of phones out of several millions shipped isn't a number that raises anything that isn't already effectively zero.
Again, we don't know how they calculate "failure" - and you keep ignoring that in fact every single Note 7 made is no longer working after just a few weeks.
I'm not defending Samsung, nor the Note 7 product. Just pointing out that if you're counting failures, including Note 7 won't get you a percentage increase.
How would we know? Blannco Technology doesn't say a thing about how they get to there numbers. All we know is that they do it in a way so that the total failure rate for iOS devices is much higher than that for the iOS device model with the highest failure rate. So or all we know the Note 7 may raise the Android failure rate to 114%.
Samsung Galaxy 7 line of products will soon rebalance the percentage.
Depends on how you look at it. Something like... 20 of them failed, right? And millions were sold. That makes a really, really low failure rate.
And this is how statistics are twisted.
20 failed? That must be the number for those "we found the problem, this phone will not explode , we promise" version of the Note 7.
Heck, even Samsung claimed 35 confirmed cases when they started the exchange program to that version. And that's how statistics are twisted
Also funny that the report before that (which had much better results for iOS devices than for any Android phone) didn't get any mention on Slashdot. Of course the math was already rubbish in that one - but that wasn't the reason why there wasn't a story, now was it? http://bgr.com/2016/05/11/android-vs-iphone-stability-study-q1-2016/

Or Putin - he did influence the news about Trump.

If you mean shitty audio and uncharacteristic commentary, then yeah, "he" made and "appearance".
He has not been seen alive with any evidence since Oct 20th, period end of story.
That was when he hit the boom gate with the sign "MAX. HEADROOM: 2.3 M"
Time magazine, being mainstream American corporate media, would do well to give Trump the nod in order to try and get into his good graces and thus increase the odds of access.

To freeze or to still be vulnerable after more than a year?
It's not really a thing, but in many devices taking the battery out is much faster than holding down a set combination of buttons for quite a long time and hoping no one bumps you along the way.

Well, yes. Everybody in "G+ apple groups" is a dick, and you are one of them. Gee, I wonder if any of them have even touched an Apple product in years, let alone actually own one.
All I'm suggesting is, if someone has bought a lot of Apple music then they are an Apple customer forever.
Actually, all you are suggesting is you are a fluffer and a nutter.
Apple batteries have been blowing up too. Google it.
So have the brains of Apple haters. No really, Google it.
No, they were just designed to break easily under normal use. Totally fair!
So you are saying there is a design failure? Because relatively few of the million of iPhone 6 Plus actually are affected, and the others fail to break as designed?
You DO NOT want the company you are buying things from to make record profits.
Yeah, you want them to make record losses, how else can you assure that it goes broke before they can update or even fix your product,
For every new regulation, they need to get rid of two. Which two are they getting rid of for this one?
He already said he'd deregulate Wall Street.
"Dude, just quote the actual prediction"
Dude, just read what I typed:
"That's not a prediction about the "Big R" during Dubya's presidency."
No, you are correct. Because they didn't see 9/11 coming. Yeesh.
What part of "Will Turn Around by Mid-2002" did you not understand?
"uh... remember the Great Recession under Bush?"
That recession was going to happen no matter what. And guess what -- It was predicted by the Anderson Forecast in 2000. Guess who's administration that was under? Wasn't Bush.

I think Trump is going to kill TPP for evil reasons.
I wouldn't be surprised if he simply rejects it because during the negotiations a clause that would benefit his business got removed.
Same goes for you google.

The old saw was that when corporation builds fancy new corporate headquarters, it is an indication of an "edifice complex" and a red flag.
