    Actually this was more of "Why upgrade to 4K then 8K a few years later" move from NHK who went into 8K development years ago. It's a very smart move and not just about more is better.

    .. something happened that actually didn't happen.

  6. Apple wankathon? on The Most Popular Product Of All Time · · Score: 1

    What's with the constant Apple wankathon that's been taking place on /. over the last 6 months?

  7. You just had a shit and/or old phone. A modern high end Android phone is better than the best iPhone.

  8. Why is this a story? on Infected Pokemon GO APK Carries Dangerous Android Backdoor · · Score: 1

    "Illegal copy of software has a virus".. Oh what a surprise. Is this just a poor attempt to have a dig at Android?

  9. The title is very careful not to mention Apple or iPhone, but does mention Google. Very obviously written by a iFan

  10. You can guarentee on Apple Slams Spotify For Asking For 'Preferential Treatment' (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    ..say the far more numerous Android users worldwide that are quite happy with what they have.

  14. >Facebook failed with their messenger bullshit I'd hazard a guess that it's the number 1 or 2 IM app on the planet. Certainly in the Western world. Hardly failed.

  16. Wrong website on Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon Show To Be Called The Grand Tour (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Why is an article about a bellend who does car shows on /. ?

  17. Re:Yet another XMPP hack? on WhatsApp Now Has a Desktop App, Available on Windows, OS X · · Score: 1

    That's nice, but if the people you are trying to contact are using WhatsAPP you're not going to be able to contact them. And generally, it's overwhelmingly more likely a person is using WhatsAPP.

  23. Re: He proves again... on Neil deGrasse Tyson Says It's 'Very Likely' The Universe Is A Simulation (extremetech.com) · · Score: 1

    >If you're inside a simulation, then you can't run any tests to find out, now can you? I've thought of this two, but there's 2 way's out 1) The simulation builders are not perfect and thus have built an imperfect simulation that we can detect. 2) The simulation builders have purposely built a simulation where the guest inhabitants if sufficiently advanced are allowed to detect they are in a simulation. Once this happens.. who knows.. Would could be invited to "join them" (which goes with lot of things like the concept of heaven or some UFO thinkers of the concept of ascendance ). The other option is that the simulation would be turned off, which would be shit!

  24. An Omnipotent entity is nit the same as God. Everything you mention implies this entity follows a plan or ordered routine. God is outside of logic, planning or order. What your describing is Q from 'Trek, which is not a God.

    "Conspiracy theorists are having a field day" It seems the poster does too if he/she decided to make this an article on /. But keep pushing your blame onto conspiracy theorists instead of yourself.
