Is it possible this is gov't propaganda to benefit Chinese companies at the expense of Apple?
(+1) Excellent point! I'm not denying that the conditions there are probably pretty bad. This could also be someone using LESS whitewash on the propaganda than normal. Not necessarily an Anti-Apple piece but a less Apple friendly piece.
That might be $44/month but then there's the taxes and other charges including modem rental fees. I don't know what Comcast's modem fees are but TWC is $7.50/month which is a joke.
Think about it. When AOL came out and got a lot of people online, most of them thought of "the internet" as whatever AOL presented to them. How many people do YOU know that think of "the internet" as whatever is on FB?
That sounds more like "in limbo because the History Channel is disputing the awaiting tests for that abomination" than "cancelled because the BBC doesn't want it."
That is the amount of fucks given about the prospect of Apple gobbling up the most hyped music streaming service that no individual actually knows a subscriber of.
When you give a chimp a gun, and the chimp shoots someone, you don't blame the chimp.
If we can't rely on organizations to adhere to frighteningly basic security concepts (usually at the core of these breaches) how can we trust them to hire a mercenary to go on the offensive against bad guys?
I left AT&T back in 2011 when they instituted the caps. I'm much happier with my current ISP which doesn't have any caps, doesn't monitor/filter/throttle and allows home users to run servers.
That's great for you... Until your current ISP follows the rest of the pack in a couple of years and does the same. What are you going to do then?
The only way to fix this is to migrate to other platforms like Mac/Linux/etc.
Yeah... Because Apple has a GREAT record for giving a fuck about anyone who is on older hardware (3-4 years) that can't comfortably run their OS. I'm referring to OSX and the abortion that they called Mavericks (10.9) and how thoroughly fucked my 3 year old (2010) Macbook Pro was after installing it. I could have opted to not install but to do so would have meant no security updates because my hardware was dead in the eyes of Apple. So there i sat with an OS that was "more secure" despite my battery life was 1/2 after updating and turning off all of the eye candy. I guess "more secure" = 1/2 as much time to get hosed by something!
82 years old with no fucking clue what she's talking about.
As opposed to the self absorbed 20 somethings who have no fucking clue what they're talking about when they tell you how to code/build something or how to solve the worlds problems?

+1 I miss when it wasn't trying to be a half assed Chrome clone and they had a theme + addon community.
...and 60 years later most companies still can't get this shit right.
At least now Oracle has something to spend those exorbitant license fees on.
Nah. They'll use this as justification for raising prices instead.

Pretty sure Windows Phone has a larger user base than Tidal.

The subs will sit off the coast of Washington, ready to fire at the next automatic update.... That's if they're not running Windows onboard.
Subs with Windows! What could possibly go wrong?

Those who have no point, use PowerPoint.
D) D cups!
Microsoft did that recently but didn't have the outcome you expected
It's like IRC meets AOL!
Agreed. They chose to help save customers from themselves.
That's because he's running for president!
What, is this some kind of democracy or something? Y'all really need to go back to dictatorship school...
Their lawyers are pretty fucking relevant!
Yeah but how much did they make on 01/02?
Didn't they do something like this in Florida in 2000?
