Or members of The Cult of Apple who pretend that Jobs was responsible for the Internet, mobile as we know it, all innovation in the personal computer space, etc.
An acknowledgement of iOS/Android equivalence. I'm glad I switched to a Windows phone, I guess...
Well, then you switched less than 7 months ago, because there were reports of it happening there too. Which went mostly unnoticed because pretty much nobody was affected - well only all Windows Phone users.
The people repeating the "Steve Jobs was the Greatest" mantra over and over are the Apple haters who really feel the need for their predictions that Apple will fail without him to be true. Any moment now.
You make it sound like other directors are better at making a decent movie from a video game. The exceptions prove the rule.
Heck, the sequel to the 2000 movie (Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God) must have been so bad everybody here forgot there is already a full-out movie franchise. Two movies - one franchise. Make that 3: "Dungeons & Dragons: The Book of Vile Darkness" - SYFY movies count too, no? What about the direct-to-video "The Scourge of Worlds: A Dungeons & Dragons Adventure"?
Or do the rights owners just want to take us for fools?
Funny how all "science" now seems to support a very particular liberal/environmentalist ideological agenda. Maybe that has something to do with the new scientific method:
Or it is because reality has a well-known liberal bias.
But then I'm missing out on activity tracking. Personally, I take mine off when I'm taking a dump, so that's when it charges. I don't take enough dumps to sustain an Apple Watch like that.
Well, you could charge it when posting on Slashdot - which for you is like taking a dump.
Funny how you don't complain about Google's in-app-purchase policies.
Developers offering products within another category [but Games] of app downloaded from Google Play must use Google Play In-app Billing as the method of payment, except:
where payment is solely for physical products; or
where payment is for digital content that may be consumed outside of the app itself (e.g., buying songs that can be played on other music players).
So even if Google doesn't want a share of the profits (yet), they most certainly require apps on the Play Store to use their In App Purchase processing service. Something which you want to deny Apple.
Except they already are, so we can skip this clause. They are making contracts with their suppliers that fix the prices for other people who are not a party to the contract negotiations.
Which Spotify has done before Apple - you do agree that Apple should sue them.
If anyone sees an article about Steve Jobs coming back from the dead to lead Apple again, it's totally legit.
Knowing Wallstreet analysts, this will actually drive down AAPL. I can see Business Insider's headline: "Apple's need to bring back Steve Jobs from the dead proves they are doomed."
Not to mention that all the Steve-Jobs-would-never-do-this arguments from Apple critics would revert back to Steve-Jobs-and-his-usual-blunders.
Soon to be featured in a denier argument near you!
"OK OK so burning fossil fuels DOES cause global warming, but we NEED to burn fossil fuels in order to compensate for the double solar whammy which will otherwise freeze the earth solid!"
I wonder if they will drop the "Climate scientists warned of a coming Ice Age in the 70s" bit instead.
Yes, I have crossed traffic in a large city. I've also done a lot of walking in a large city. Open your damn eyes.
Better yet, wear a gun and shoot all who want to kill you. Is that legal in NYC?
Joking aside, the left-turners will usually come from behind you on your right side when you're only a few feet from reaching the curb[1]. Most people don't have eyes in the back of their head, and asking pedestrians to look behind them when they have almost finished crossing the street, instead of telling the drivers to fucking look ahead for pedestrians who have the right of way shows you are an asshole.
[1] Unless we're talking about those wankers who step on the gas to cross the lanes before oncoming traffic comes, usually forcing those to break, stalling all traffic.
Some people freak out about tritium because it's radioactive. But really, while tritiated water is poisonous, we deal with lots of stuff in our everyday lives that are far more dangerous, with far lower LD50s. And outside the body it does nothing, the beta is just too weak to penetrate. And given that tritium costs about $50k per gram, you're never going to encounter a large quantity of it at once.
We're not looking for a cost-efficient way to kill somebody, we're looking at the potential risk of an engine design. And that will use as much tritium as it needs, cost for a part of it will not matter much as long as the total cost will be acceptable for its use.
Slashdot Mirror
"I was a Mac user in the Lisa days, " - Again, way to prove my point. And the best part is, you go in deeper and deeper....

IOW the voices inside your head.

Bwahahaha. Way to prove my point.
"It's also already fixed in the latest 10.10.5 beta."
Good. Now can we work in the iOS bug that allows malicious ads to yank you into the App Store involuntarily?
Has it been fixed on Android already? Oh no, wait, that takes you to Google Play involuntarily - so not a bug, but a feature, right?
He also provides a fix, so you don't have to wait on Apple while your machines are vulnerable.
Yeah, installing a binary-only fix from a security researcher who says "Responsible disclosure is for pussies" - what could go wrong.
"An empty word doc sized exploit"
FTFY

The Globe and Mail has no Reality bias. Neither have you.

That way you don't get to see those flashy ads, but the ad business still finances the app.
Meanwhile, my Pebble Time, which was recently released, has a ton of apps on it.
How much is "tons"? Is it more than the 7,400 TFA thinks are too little?
But then I'm missing out on activity tracking. Personally, I take mine off when I'm taking a dump, so that's when it charges. I don't take enough dumps to sustain an Apple Watch like that.
Well, you could charge it when posting on Slashdot - which for you is like taking a dump.
Battery life is not a problem if you charge it each night.
And how do you propose I do that if I'm using it for sleep tracking?
When you are not sleeping.

where payment is solely for physical products; or
where payment is for digital content that may be consumed outside of the app itself (e.g., buying songs that can be played on other music players).

So even if Google doesn't want a share of the profits (yet), they most certainly require apps on the Play Store to use their In App Purchase processing service. Something which you want to deny Apple.

Obligatory Onion video (one of their best); http://www.theonion.com/video/...
Hey, left-turner could actually learn from that video: "Look out the windshield. When you see a pedestrian over there, don't drive to that place."
Yes, I have crossed traffic in a large city. I've also done a lot of walking in a large city. Open your damn eyes.

I"m guessing you've never owned a car that is fun to drive...?
I"m guessing running over kids is just part of that FUN?
