  1. another iStandard? on The Next iPhone Will Have Wireless Charging, Says Apple Supplier (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Will you need iChargePad with iSpecialCharger to connect it to iSocekt (aka 110V outlet)?

  2. If you visit my website with IE6 good luck - ancient device not so good experience. If you own iDevice you are supposed to replace it every other year - that is in the contract:)

  3. wireless mousepad on Logitech Reveals Mouse Mat That Is a Giant Wireless Charging Pad (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Let me guess, next step will be wireless mousepad that is installed under the desk and charges both mouse, phone, tablet and a toothbrush:)

  4. Snapchat next? on 'COVFEFE Act' Would Make Social Media a Presidential Record (thehill.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd love to see how Snapchat would handle deletion ban of POTUS posts.

  5. Show up 15 min before departure ...naked, quick pass thru security check and board plane directly.

  6. Just stop it. AAA is fine- how about daisy chains? on TSA May Recommend Stowing Laptops In Cargo For US Domestic Flights (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 1

    You can daisy chain batteries to get required voltage or connect in parallel. You can use capacitors - most planes provide USB plug for entertainment and use AC outlets that are available on airports and some planes. How far you want to go?

  7. can't they just ask one question instead? on Trump Administration Approves Tougher Visa Vetting, Including Social Media Checks (reuters.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    simple question should be sufficient: are you a terrorist?

  8. Welcome to a mix of fast fashion and form over function that is making a ton of money for phone producers. Amazing that 98% of users buy glass back phones and cover them with ugly cases. So what was the point of glass back? $5 plastic cover was too durable?

  9. too big to ...move fast? on Red Hat And IBM Will Vote Against Java's Next Release (infoworld.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Let me guess IBM/Websphere is not ready so everyone has to wait for them??? How about we stick with EJB3 and ESB?

  10. Re:Wouldn't just buying water from other countries on UAE To Drag Iceberg From Antarctica To Solve Water Shortage Set To Last 25 Years (express.co.uk) · · Score: 1

  12. ultimate proof! on Dormant Diseases Frozen In the Ice Are Waking Up (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Ultimate proof that climate change kills!

  13. satisfaction == justification of purchase? on Apple AirPods Customers 'Satisfied' With the Product (techpinions.com) · · Score: 1

    My bet there is a correlation between price (or rather how overpriced the item is) and justification of purchase (satisfaction).

  14. it is a club! on Ask Slashdot: What Is the 'Special Appeal' of Apple Products? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    During Steve Jobs' era (2nd term) Apple mobile (iPod, iPhone, iPad) products had a great usability, amazing attention to detail, and clean aesthetic design. Steve pushed designers and developers beyond what was imagined, product had to work intuitively. That is why no one else was able to deliver a successful handheld (HP, PalmOS, etc). Unfortunately Apple diluted aesthetic and focus with multiple color versions and self-competing product lines (you can buy iPhone 7+, 7, 6+, 6s, se in 6 colors). On the other hand it always has been a club where you feel better b/c you have "luxury" (aka. higher priced item) than someone else.

  15. MS Encarta.cn? on China is Recruiting 20,000 People To Write Its Own Wikipedia (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    They should hire Encarta team ... and watch Dan Pink ted talk (https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation).

  16. Re:It's pretty simple on Energy Star Program For Homes And Appliances Is On Trump's Chopping Block (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    Depends how you define safety. Planet safety relies on programs that limit energy usage! You can pretend it doesn't b/c it will affect future generation more than us - but it will.

  17. low latency and guns - correlation or causation? on Gamers in Hawaii Can't Compete... Because of Latency (theoutline.com) · · Score: 0

    Having lowest latency Chicago just passed 1,000 gun shot victims this year makes me wonder is there correlation or causation?

  18. Re:How long before estates of dead entertainers su on Lyrebird Claims It Can Recreate Anyone's Voice Based On Just a 1 Minute Sample (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    No, estates will abuse it till they can get all the money there is. Expect actors that would never lower themselves to certain level be featured in ads - b/c family gets an extra buck!

  19. Re:Flying car? on No Longer a Dream: Silicon Valley Takes On the Flying Car (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    see that is your problem - you need to think out side of the box!!!

  20. bad precedent - it will go both ways on Can Parents Sue If Their Kid Is Born With the 'Wrong' DNA? (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

  21. Re: cut the risk of death from any cause by 41% on Cycling To Work Can Cut Cancer and Heart Disease (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

  22. "vegetative" state + LSD ? on First Evidence For Higher State of Consciousness Found (neurosciencenews.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

  24. do an HB1 visa auction! on Trump To Overhaul H-1B Visa Program To Encourage Hiring Americans (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Do an auction - companies file for applicants, minimum wage is average salary + 10% within given region (and they must work within region), then allow them to bid. Create a race to the top (not bottom) and take 5% cut to support social security. Solved!

  25. if you haven't noticed.. on Chinese Warehouse Cut Labor Costs In Half With a Fleet of Tiny Robots (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    If you haven't noticed level of poverty is closely monitored so it doesn't reach a critical mass. Our lords do not wants another revolution. We get all the amazing things that keep us happy and away from revolting - all using a simple credit line. At the end of your life - your end sum is zero. You worked at least 40 years but someone else profited from it. Isn't it great!?
