Good luck with that. You can certainly do whatever the hell you please with it, but your personal feelings on the subject don't count for much in court.
Good luck with that? Good luck finding a judge that would criminally prosecute me for putting a "spy" app on a phone I own with the intent of safeguarding my underage kid from all the horrible stuff out there (aka "parenting" to most).
Netflix on the PS3 (which has mandatory updates) has moved entirely to the thumbs rating system and it's terrible. If you're watching Netflix on something that doesn't require updates, definitely don't update your Netflix app.
The new 'thumbs up/thumbs down' rating system was the nail in the coffin for me. I've spent a lot of time rating movies and shows, and was subsequently rewarded with recommendations that were spot on. Now those recommendations are garbage that I'd never watch. Screw you, Netflix. Screw you hard.
Hmmm...this actually sounds like a useful upgrade. Given Apple's recent "innovations," I'm left wondering what the catch is. There must be something in this update that screws over the customer somewhere.
I've got a better idea. Rather than warning strips, they should install cameras to take pictures of the idiots that are too addicted to their phones to obey traffic signals. Then they should post those pictures on the internet so we can publicly shame them. After all, most phone addicts only care about one thing more than their phone, and that's how others feel about their online persona.
If these scientists continue to use the Doomsday Clock to express their political opinions they're going to have to start adding more minutes to the clock.
What a well thought out and rational post. Unfortunately, here in the good ole USA that sort of thinking will immediately get you labeled as a racist, woman-hating, homophobic, deplorable dumbass by Hillary supporters. All hail the two-party system. Yay!
Me: Essential, unlock the front door and let me in.
Essential smart home: I'm sorry, I can't do that.
Me: Why not? It's freezing out here!
Essential smart home: My sensors detect you've gained some after-Christmas weight. I'm not letting you inside until you go for a nice long walk. No need to thank me for improving your life...that's what I'm here for.
I'd be curious to know how many people actually want unlimited data. Besides the millennials who are hopelessly addicted to their phone I bet 75% of the population still uses less than 1GB per month in data.
China is doing something about it, albeit first steps. The U.S., by contrast, is being run buy delusional nuts who think global warming is some kind of scam. Makes me ashamed to be an American.
I'm happy that China is doing this as well, but I doubt China is doing this for the good of the planet or anything like that. China's air quality is so poor that their people are basically choking to death on it. They HAD to do something about it.
The concept is nice but the thing looks like a children's toy. I have a feeling they're gonna lose out on a decent amount of sales simply because people won't want the thing in their entertainment center.
As someone whose job requires them to move between multiple systems with multiple font formatting (or lack thereof) I absolutely despise curly quotes. They make simple two second copy-paste jobs into five minute find-the-busted-character goose chases. For normal everyday usage, please just let them die already.
If everyone else on the road is going 5-10 over the speed limit, then the Tesla is essentially a road hazard that other people need to avoid. This seems like a dumb move.

Once their oldest employees who aren't willing to relocate or move to keep their job quit, they'll offer telecommuting to their employees again.
Did one of their VP's tell you this or are you just making stuff up?

So for the 10th anniversary super-duper-special-expensive phone they're gonna use a screen made by their biggest rivals? Wha wha wha??

Amazon. They sell unlocked phones on Amazon buy the boatload.

This. Garbage like this is exactly why Trump won the election. I hope you're pleased with yourself.

Berry One: 'Member cassettes?
Berry Two: Yeah, I 'member!
Berry One: Yeah, I 'member too. Cassettes sucked donkey balls.
Berry Two: Yeah, sure did!
You use 20GB/month+ in CELL data? Ya know, they have this thing called "wifi" now. You should check it out.

Yes, of course I read the summary. To me this isn't a new product, simply the evolution of the existing compute stick.

Looks like they just took their compute stick and changed the dimensions a bit.
