I only use Chrome for accessing sites which require it... or require Flash. Otherwise, I steer clear of Chrome.
It's also an object lesson proving people right who've consistently argued that Chrome (on the Mac, at least) shouldn't be given the default admin permissions it asks for to "keep itself updated". It's true you shouldn't trust any company too much... but you really can't trust an advertising company to not put its hands in the cookie jar if you've placed it conveniently within their reach.
Why does the submission link to someone’s “congratulations” email response instead of the original email announcement... or the web posting about the release itself?
It’s not like we haven’t heard these rumors for years now... we even heard stuff like this before Apple move to Intel. But still, some things are out of their control.
- Will Adobe play along, or walk away? Much as I hate Adobe, they’re a necessary evil when it comes to doing real work on many Macs.
- How locked down will these “computers” be? Right now, I can install just about anything I want... and I have a bash/zsh shell, to boot.
- What about the few Apple pro apps which remain? They’ve already shed a huge number of customers - it seems unlikely the remaining nes will tolerate another backwards jump.
One would hope that Apple would do their homework on this, since people who still use a laptop or desktop generally have very different requirements than people who use an iPad with a keyboard. A “laptop” which is just a glorified iPad would serve no purpose.
OK, all these different numerical addresses are starting to get confusing. Someone ought to invent some kind of protocol to automatically map human-readable names onto these obscure numbers.

True - but what Congress-critters think does not necessarily reflect what the court will think. Supreme Court justices have lifetime appointments for a reason.
When I bring this up with many (perhaps most) of my friends and co-workers, the prevalent attitude seems to be "we've already lost, there's no reason to resist".
Another thing is when I mention it at work - what I hear back from certain faculty is how Google and Amazon are giving us a lot of money, so we're going to pretend none of this is a concern.
The “problem” (from the typical user’s point of view) is that BSD folks have no problem with hearing “no, we don’t allow that because it could lead to potential security concerns”. Most users don’t want to hear about what they aren’t allowed to do - when forced to choose they will pick convenience over security, every time.
Well, occasionally “new tech news” can just mean it was “news” to the tech journalist who just now heard about it. Or perhaps he had an article quota to fill, and he didn’t really check whether the companies’ new subscriptions were of any import.
This is an executive who has a bottom line, and isn't afraid to tell it like it is.
In what sense is he "telling it like it is"?
Facebook's bottom line isn't about connecting people - and what they believe in "so strongly" isn't "connecting people". Facebook's entire business model is collecting personal information from their users and allowing advertisers to have access to that information so those advertisers can hopefully stuff to those users.
I suppose you could argue that he was at least being honest in saying he didn't care if people died because of Facebook's business model - but for him to claim the reason for that is because they "care so much about connecting people" is a bald-faced lie.
I'm not a huge Trump fan, but this is exactly what he said he was going to do.
The point is - he is railing against Amazon for doing exactly what he does.
I don't personally like that these loopholes exist. I personally would like to see corporations and rich people pay a higher percentage of their income as taxes. But regardless - it's hypocritical to take someone to task for something you yourself do.
Hasn't Trump been the master of manipulating the tax code to his own benefit? Didn't he say during one of the debates that not paying taxes for multiple years, because of a bankruptcy filing, made him "smart"?
Remember when Drupal was supposed to be the “secure” alternative for a web CMS? Certainly over the past few years it seems to have had significantly more core vulnerabilities than Wordpress.
(Note that I said “core”... plugins are another matter)

The first link in the submission leads to a March 26th photo showing a rather dramatic crack that’s opened up across some fields and a highway.
I think the story is a reminder that the rift is geologically active - the rift itself has existed for millions of years.

This new law may prove to be unconstitutional - even with a conservative-leaning court in place.

VERY secure.
Terrorists still seem to find ways to kill large numbers of people in the “very secure” Soviet Union.

they probably aren't accounting for leap years.
URL shorteners are of the devil - people should never be asked to click on an obfuscated link.

I said "clapping", not "fapping".
Can these scientists say explain what is the sound of one hand clapping?
Not bloody likely, my last date stopped answering my calls.
You forgot to mention the restraining order.
Funny how you ignore the blurred out N*****.
... And the drawing of the black woman immediately underneath.

Exactly my point. Which you obviously got, but the Trump apologist did not.
