Summary makes a mistake: Apple News Plus launched in both the U.S. and Canada today. That's because most of this 'new' product is just a re-branding of Texture, the magazine app that's been running for years, and bought by Apple last year. Texture is/was $14.99CA, and Apple News Plus will be $12.99CA, while including more content (like the Toronto Star and the L.A. Times). As a magazine fan all my life I love Texture. I'm reading about a dozen magazines regularly, and there's no way I would have purchased 12 print subscriptions. Plus you can jump into any article from the over 300 magazines in the collection, so for me it's well worth the money.
I've followed a lot of air accident investigations, and there are, unfortunately, dozens of instances where the sound of "Pull up, terrain" is the last thing on the CVR. And in the minutes before that, a cockpit crew wondering why that silly alarm was going off. You make me wonder though, is it the kind of alarm that goes off so often for erroneous reasons that pilots discount it?
It wasn't a separate video site -- it hosted all its videos on YouTube. Most recording artists would have a VEVO channel, but they were also just part of the normal YouTube search results. What Vevo did beyond that was have branded mobile apps that were gateways to *only* their content on YouTube. For some reason only known to them they thought this would let them charge a premium to advertisers in their apps. But as long as their videos were also available as part of the broader YouTube, there was really no reason to bother with their apps. Vevo has nothing to do with Vimeo, DailyMotion or any other video hosting site. It was strictly a branding exercise.
Sagan said "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." No one knows who first said the "absence of evidence" line, but it's sure not something Sagan would have said.
Toronto didn't offer any incentives or tax breaks. That's why the thinking is that Toronto is the favourite, unless one of the American cities ponies up enough to overcome the advantages that Toronto naturally has, e.g., it's not in Trumplandia.
I think the submitter got confused on distributors versus movie theatres. Studios get half, the distributor gets half. The theatre chains negotiate with the distributor for whatever cut (if any) they get. But that's why they say a movie has to make at least 2x its budget just to break-even.
AP (and others, like CP in Canada) are collectives that everyone who uses them contributes to, based on the level of traffic on each site's pages that contain AP content. So a small site with 100K uniques a month might pay $10,000/year, a big site like MSN would be paying in the millions. Ad revenue is totally separate and is all kept by the websites themselves.
We can't forget that a lot of that 30 year average life expectancy increasing is because almost all kids survive childhood now. It's not like everyone used to keel over at 50, it was that a bunch of childhood diseases prevented a sizeable number of kids from getting past age 5.
AR, that's where they go (and are going). Tim Cook is right, it is the next big thing, and the first one to offer a fashionable line of prescription-ready glasses wins big. And if they are able to get a modem in the glasses (which seems possible now, given what they did with Apple Watch 3) then they win even bigger. And if you doubt AR, just take a look at every person walking down the street looking down at their phones, each one of them a potential purchaser of Apple Glasses.
I have no idea what you are searching for (I had to do a bunch of image searches just to get any Pinterest results), but a simple "-pinterest" as your last keyword will solve your problem.
But you know, if I had two envelopes left in my hand, I would stare at both of them good and hard to be sure I was handing the right one to Warren Beatty. And even after he left I'd keep checking to make sure I had the no-longer-needed Best Actress card in my hand. What they need is someone with a decent case of OCD.
You have NO idea what you are talking about re: Canada. Netflix has zero, none, nada, Canadian content regulations. Internet has been exempt since 1999, and always will be (probably). You must be from Brazil.

The series is being simulcast with CBS on CTV here in Canada, then on Space (probably a day or two later). Then on-demand it will be CraveTV, Bell's subscription internet streaming service (how soon after they don't say).
BTW, the show is being shot in Toronto, so in a way we are getting it WAY before anyone else.

I don't know which Canada you live in, but I've been creating web and mobile products for 20 years in Toronto and I have never heard of any law that compels me to do anything in English *and* French. Maybe if you're producing stuff for the federal or provincial government, but not commercially.
Hard-core gamers will laugh, but I bought Titanfall for Xbox One thinking 'Hey, cool, what a great looking first-person game." I get home with the disc and find out (a) there is no way to play alone, and (b) I needed an Xbox Gold account to even go online and play with others. Apparently I'm the only one on earth who doesn't like multi-player and has zero interest in playing a game with a bunch of random strangers on the Internet, so for me the game is effectively useless. And what really bugged me was that it was not at all clear on the game packaging that it was mutli-player ONLY and absolutely required Xbox Gold to play. Even reviews I read online didn't make that explicitly clear - I assumed Titanfall would be like Halo or Call of Duty: sure there's mutli-player, but you also get a game to play yourself.
Now I see something like Destiny and I fear the same thing happening (and from reading the linked article it sounds like single player is there, but not well thought out). Is the first-person shooter market really so heavily focused on multi-player that those of us with no interest in that feature will eventually be shut out of playing the latest games?
Unfortunately for many big sites hosting it themselves is *not* an option. Where I used to work we had to use DoubleClick, the advertisers demanded it: (a) because they were all familiar with the tools, and more importantly (b) they wanted an independent third-party reporting on views/clicks. I would have loved to have eliminated the $250K a year we were paying DoubleClick, but Sales stopped me cold.

I was building and deploying interactive TV apps in Canada in 2001. iTV is nascent like nuclear fusion is nascent.

Unless they have a couple of Republicans who are willing to go against Trump and the FCC this ain't gonna happen.

So you're questioning whether vacations cause autism? I bet you every kid with autism went on a vacation sometime before he/she became symptomatic!
Is it at least free range salt? The thought of those crystals stuck in tiny cave all day...shudder.

Exactly - what's the big deal? You'd think the Russians were emailing them to Assange's laptop then he FTP'ed them to the WikiLeaks site at Wix.com.
When I saw that they were going to land a probe in two years, I thought "I hope they're launching it tomorrow then."

I guess you've got a lot of free time since timecube.com shut down?
The summary reads like he took apart a 3D printer then threw various components from it in a fish tank. I was left wondering why anyone would do that.

Seriously...as I was reading I kept thinking "No, nope, wrong." In fact he didn't do any better than an episode of The Jetsons.
