"Apple has charged their Li-Ion and Li-Po batteries to around 85% for like, forever"? You mean, when my iPhone6 says it's 100% charged, it's really only 85% charged? So I actually don't need to worry about overcharging it? I would love to believe this!
Could we have UTF-8, please, on Slashdot? If not for emoji, then for characters in non-European languages? I know people have been asking for this for years now - it's embarrassing.
Sorry to reply to my own post, but I wrote it before the article header was corrected. For the record, the article's original title was "Sending Angry Emails Just Make You Angrier".
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see why EFF wanted to develop even an Android app. If they wanted to "make it easier for people to take action on digital rights issues using their phone", why not write an HTML5 website? Is there some performance issue that would outweigh the simplicity of a single codebase and the assurance that as soon as they updated the site it would be up to date for all users?
So the vulnerability is in some component that's present only in server versions of Windows. On machines running client versions of Windows, there's no urgency about this.
Not there. Oh, well, T-Mobile tends to be slow to push things at iPhone users. In my book, they're still a better deal than ATT, though. Thanks for the info!
Not that I'm complaining, of course, but I never got the alert, and I live right across the street from NYC's Office of Emergency Management. I'm curious about why my phone never got the message, because who knows, I might want to get alerted the next time something like Sandy blows into town.
Speaking of Sandy, I did receive a text message alert or 2 during the storm, which presumably means my phone is capable of getting the messages. Could the reason be that I switched carriers around New Year's? (ATT to T-Mobile, if it matters.)
Exactly. And if automakers fail to sell many distractive subsystems, maybe they should rejoice, for that means fewer lawsuits from the survivors of distracted-driving crash victims in the future.
If you used emacs and if rot13-region were important to you, you'd just bind it to some key sequence you found convenient. How long can we keep this emacs-vi battle going? I'm kinda out of practice but it brings back happy memories...

What’s the point of self-lacing bricks anyway?
Maybe they meant Alt-Baba and just misspelled it.

After all, the newly merged company will be able to cut down on duplicative lobbyist staffing. Is this a win-win or what?!

Bad grammar MAKES ME ANGRY!
Coincidence? I think not.
Is it too late to put this thing together as a 2015 summer blockbuster?
This has been going on a long time in China, though there the troll workplaces are decentralized and the pay's a lot lower.
Like most recent technical advances, this is merely a corollary of pre-existing xkcd research.

“If the driver becomes inattentive or begins to drift off to sleep, it will alert you.”
Doesn't find it, sad to say.
Then why is it ever possible to swat a fly?

What do the options look like? (I'm up to date on iOS 6.x.)

It's only metadata, isn't it?
Sigmund Freud said, "The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization."
That's Cayman as in Cayman Islands, right?
