  1. Apple has done the same on HP Made a Laptop Slightly Thicker To Add 3 Hours of Battery Life (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The iPhone 7 and 7 plus are both very slightly thicker than the 6s and 6s plus.

  2. Re: duh? on Did Google.org Steal the Christmas Spirit? (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    You are showing how uninformed you are. Tax deductible doesn't mean it is free for google you dolt.

  3. This is over the top on Did Google.org Steal the Christmas Spirit? (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Now people are criticizing charities for not giving what the want them to give? Okay guys, if you want "pencils" that bad maybe sell a chrome book or two or simply don't accept the charity if it is soooo bad. If you can't get "pencils" for your school you have bigger problems than getting the wrong type of charity.

  4. Inflation makes a currency weaker not stronger. The rate hikes would be done to counteract the weaker dollar at best bringing it back to normal levels. To make a comparison, this article is like saying "Crime will go up so we will get more police, so an increase in crime makes us safer."

  5. Re:Analyzing a car purchase over 1 year? on Virginia Police Spent $500K For An Ineffective Cellphone Surveillance System (muckrock.com) · · Score: 1

    Why would you want to repurpose the truck and throw away the equipment either? It's one and the same.

  6. Analyzing a car purchase over 1 year? on Virginia Police Spent $500K For An Ineffective Cellphone Surveillance System (muckrock.com) · · Score: 2

    This is a non-issue. They don't throw away the car after one year.

  7. The worst part is the bias fact checkers on Snopes.com Editor on Fake News: Social Media Is Not the Problem (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    We all expect the news to be misleading so all these fact checking websites popped up. But then even these show wrong information so we have no where left to trust. Sometimes they even contradict their own headlines with the news story they use as sources and just put a meter of how truthful the fact is. Can you really consider something 50% truthful and then claim it is a true fact in the headline then go say something else is 45% truth and claim it's a lie. Sorry but those made up percentages have no basis in reality.

  8. I assume they are considering this the same as using an image URL from another website in you website. Essentially stealing their bandwidth and using their photo. Now I don't know much about copyright so what I described be "illegal" or just immoral? Now this is the same but an RSS feed may be a different story.

  9. Media outlets covering rumors? Well it must be true then. /s

  10. Monitor or TV at 120 hz? on Sharp Unveils 27-inch 8K 120Hz IGZO Monitor With HDR (monitornerds.com) · · Score: 2

    There is an important distinction that needs to be made. One place it was monitor and another it says TV. Which is it?

  11. Re:Race of the thinnest and lighest on iPhone 7 Finishes Last In New Test of Battery Life (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    The iphone 7 is actually thicker than the iphone 6 or 6s.

  12. Re:Legal maneuvers are ... legal! on Online Journalists Launch An Onslaught Against Donald Trump (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0

    Massive losses on your tax return do not mean you are losing money. Things like depreciation, interest, charitable donations, etc all make you look like you lost money and in real estate, which is Trump's business, you can accumulate massive depreciation of assets if you choose. From an accounting perspective, everything Trump said in his debate was correct. His debt ratios are off the charts good and his companies are very far from in trouble. The fact Hilary was arguing about how much money he owes was either blatant stupidity on her part or exploitation of the ignorance of the audience. It's really sad to see these lies perpetuated in mainstream media showing it also falls into one of those two categories. Any accountant that was listening would have to agree..

  13. Re:How does that happen? on Uber's Terrifying 'Ghost Drivers' Are Freaking Out Passengers in China (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I think this will work itself out with reviews eventually but i bet people can still screw a certain amount of people before that happens.

  14. The person who stands to collect 21 Billion thinks it should be paid before any appeal is completed. When I ask I ask a child if they think they should get $100 for doing nothing they say they deserve it too.

  15. BGR make their name by spamming these nonsense articles about Apple rumors and this is the worst one yet. Nothing about this article is useful or reliable or even newsworthy. The fact this was linked in anything remotely reliable (like slashdot?) is so incredibly stupid. Seriously, never ever visit BGR, it is click bait 100% of the time.

  16. Skin color is not diversity on WSJ: Facebook's Point System Fails To Close Diversity Gap · · Score: 2

    The fact people think having different skin colors is diversity only highlights how stuck in the past they are. Having different skin colors is only diversity of you think each group of people of each skin color are the same already. Look only at England where each city 10 miles apart they have different accents, mannerisms, styles, and more despite many having the same skin color. Each black person is so different, each white person is so different, each Hispanic person is so different yet companies categorize them on this feature alone.

  17. A Safer Cruise Control on Elon Musk: Autopilot Feature Was Disabled In Pennsylvania Crash (latimes.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I love that the feature wasn't even on. Go ask any insurance adjuster and let them tell you if people lie about accidents. But even if it was, this feature is just a cruise control that also keeps you in your lane and might brake when an object is in your way. It is literally a far safer cruise control than any other vehicle. This doesn't mean you can sleep while using it, same as other cruise control. If I told you I had a helmet that made injuries to the brain 50% less likely, that wouldn't mean you can use it to dive off a building head first. Using products in ways other than intended is not the fault of Tesla.

  18. Re: net neutrality on T-Mobile Gives Customers Free Pokemon Go Data (theverge.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    As long as they aren't accepting a payment from Nintendo or anyone else for offering Pokemon go data free, they are not violating net neutrality.

  19. Comapnies trying to trick the EU on Telecoms Promise 5G Networks If EU Cripples Net Neutrality (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They will and have to launch 5G anyways. This is a scam to try to get something profitable from the EU for work they already have planned.

  20. Assuming a company will be most profitable hiring the the best person for a job and that education is made freely available to both sexes... Theoretically, over hundreds or (thousands?) of years the businesses who chose the best candidate will survive, and the companies who chose a worse candidate due to sexism will fail due. In other words, if this problem exists it should fix itself over time without any interference.

  21. Intelligent Steering on The Moral Dilemma of Driverless Cars: Save The Driver or Save The Crowd? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Self-driving cars will have face recognition, evaluate the net worth of the targets compared to the net worth of the driver and choose who lives accordingly.

  22. The shape of the iphone 6? Insane. You mean a rectangle with rounded corners? This sounds like karma for apple suing others for using icons with rounded corners.

  23. Since when does Apple fix bugs on Apple Says It Doesn't Know Why iTunes Users Are Losing Their Music Files (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Blatantly obvious and sometimes severely annoying bugs go on for years and years and years in apple products and on the apple forums without any fixes. They don't care about reliability because bug fixes can't be sold by marketing.

  25. Re:What did everyone expect? on Sales Of PCs, Laptops, Tablets Continue to Fall, Hit Lowest Point Since 2011 (canalys.com) · · Score: 2

    For someone like myself these GPUs are not nearly powerful enough. What I want is a 144 HZ 4K screen, add to it a bonus that it plays games at 144hz, and another bonus that it plays those games at max settings. Right now even the most powerful GPU could maybe use a 144hz 4k screen, if you could even find one to purchase. No GPU that exists can play newer 3D games at max settings at 144 hz in 1080p. Sure, it is asking a lot but there is a long way to go, maybe the newest NVIDIA cards can give a flawless 4K, desktop experience but it is going to 8-10 years before we get a flawless gaming experience even on today's games. Ofcourse by then there could be other optimizations and engine improvements but games may also take that much more power. No one but me probably cares about that, so VR taking off is my only hope they continue to improve their speed and power.
