It shares your iPhone's number, so there's no "second monthly cell phone bill". It's possible the carriers might add some sort of additional device fee, though.
The demo was actually effective - not so much the dude on stage, but the fact that it worked well at the other end with the woman on a paddle board in the middle of a lake.
That's a nice, far-away target date that lets people feel good about themselves without actually having to do anything. Plus there's plenty of time to extend the deadline when it eventually approaches (or just quietly ignore it at that point, given there are likely no enforceable deadlines or penalties associated with the plan).
T-Mobile works pretty well where I live and work (Seattle-Tacoma area) - where T-Mobile is bad, all the carriers seem to be bad. But when we go visit the inlaws in far NE Washington state, T-Mobile's coverage dies somewhat north of Spokane.
So what we did is purchase a Verizon iPad. Most of the time it's not subscribed to a data plan; but, when we're going to travel, we'll preload one of the Verizon prepaid plans (e.g. 5GB for $60). That works well enough for wi-fi calling and provides a small amount of data for use during our visit.
I realize most anyone would pale as a presenter in comparison to Steve Jobs... but Tim Cook really is the wrong guy to have up there. He could announce "Apple has established a moonbase" and somehow make it sound boring.
Additionally - if the leak regarding turning one's facial expressions into emoji really is "damaging" to Apple, then tomorrow's presentation is going to be quite the snooze fest. Seriously, is that supposed to be a surprise announcement that's supposed to wow people?
Well, what do you expect them to do - picket outside one of the AT&T carrier stores? That's not going to get anyone's attention.
On a side note... I don't really get how carrier stores of any brand makes any sense. I suppose if you want to have distributed customer service centers, then maybe there's a reason to have a few - but as "sales first" businesses, no way.
I'm sure that's true... but, back in the "old days" when network TV still ruled the roost, (and most other people, I suspect)I would almost certainly have been aware of this sort of "special" even if I had no interest in watching it.
This was on the four major broadcast networks (sorry, CW) - yet how many of us had no idea it was happening? This Slashdot submission was the first I'd heard of it, in any case...
There was third-party downloadable firmware which would unlock some features which Canon artificially restricted to their more expensive cameras. Most people thought that was a dick move on Canon's part... but somehow Elon Musk gets a pass.
Yeah, the idea that the underlying problem is due to a supposed "information gap" is mystifying. Each of these groups already knows (or can easily find out) exactly who was involved in producing the songs they're talking about... they just don't want to share.
I love all the glowing reviews on Amazon which end with some variation of "I received this product at a discount or free in exchange for my unbiased review". For many products, those make up almost all of the reviews available.
There are already plenty of ways to game the system that we can't really trust the reviews to be representative of the products' quality - so what's one more?
Initial rumors were they couldn't get TouchID working without an actual home button, and facial recognition was a fallback. I have a hard time seeing how that won't be a big step backward... so I'll be curious to see the announcement on Tuesday AND how well (or how poorly) it works in the real world.
TouchID works quite well, so the bar is pretty high.
His name is Geoff Gavora. He had written several letters to the Foundation over the years, expressing how important XBMC and Kodi were to him and his sales.
Well then, I suggest they talk to Hari Seldon and get it sorted out. He seems to have a lot of experience dealing with difficult people.

On the Android side, the biggest bragging point comes from the small group who can say "my 1.5 year old phone is still getting firmware updates!"
Woah - mind. blown.
Website known for behaving unethically complains (legitimately) about other website behaving unethically.
If you can move around for about 30 minutes, every half hour or so, you'll be much less likely to die

Let me guess - that app was called "IRC"?

I plan on being a Blank. Maybe I'll even start my own pirate radio station.

If I lived near Tampa and needed saving, I'd be a bit disappointed if some hairy Uber driver showed up rather than Kristin Bell.
Will Chrome warn people about the attempted information interception as it tells them they should log into their Google account before browsing?

Doesn't "foundered" (which I assume was actually meant) imply there was a time when Windows phone was successful?
Wouldn't it be simpler to just find this Moore guy and force him to change his damn law?
Got a shovel?
