it shouldn't have to be outlawed. A good business knows that customers should *never* be surprised and angry when they open a bill. whatever little money you make from sneaking unexpected costs on consumers is more than dwarfed by the bad will. Telcos are always in the top ten most reviled companies. Instead, treat people fairly, be honest about what they are paying and will be charged, and give them protections so they don't accidentally run up the tab.
then just get two phones. that way there's no commingling of work information and home information. also you can have whatever home cell phone you want, even though work is giving you a crappy phone.
Why do you say that? There's nowhere to hide your screen there, so you're going to be watched by analog hole tech.
That's funny, cuz i set up a hotspot 'free_airport_wifi' and just vacuum up everything that goes through. Good thing people don't bother with VPN due to the analog hole!
I think like any issue there are opinions and counter-opinions.
my opinion is people like to use their phones at times which are most convenient for them either at their work or with their families. i for one use my phone at both times, which may tbe de rigeur but may not be, because some people don't have jobs and some people don't have families. you know what I mean? the important thing is to have a device that can cover all aspects of your life, without making pre-judgments of what those aspects should be because theres no way you can predict in advance how many there will be.
Convencience can be measured in many ways and you can't choose just one way for all people. for some people, convenience is in the form of time, while for other people, convenience is in the form of devices they have to carry around, while for other people, convenience is in the form of style, and for others, its about friendship or health or love.
I grow concerned when people make statements like "this is better than that" because by definition everybody's opinion of "truth" is just that - an opinion. so when people say, "this is better than that" what they mean is, "in my opinion, my conception of 'this' is better than my conception of 'that'." I think this one truth would solve 85% of the worlds problems today, if everybody just woke up and embraced it!!!!! In the case of phones this applies because many like to share opinions of which phone is better, and which iPhone is better. some people say iPhone is best, and some people say androids are best, and some people say winmo is best, etc. but all three can't be right! more accurate statements are "in my opinion, for my unique use case, I believe that my conception of androids is better than my preconception of iPhones".
in closing, please consider my opinion that it's not just about phones, but primarily families that make the difference and define the channels of life. I use an iPhone to listen to these channels, and others use different things, although iPhone is the most popular phone model, and offers the best user experience, but others just want different things, you know?
Some fires along coal seams are natural occurrences. Some coals may self-ignite at temperatures as low as 40 C (104 F) for brown coal in the right conditions of moisture and grain size. The fire usually begins a few decimeters inside the coal at a depth in which the permeability of the coal allows the inflow of air but in which the ventilation does not remove the heat which is generated.
Nothing to do with piezo though.
if you consider "less than a meter under the surface" to be underground, then yeah I guess it could happen less than a meter under the surface.
also, it saves a bunch of battery to run it in html5 than in the silverlight. for a macbook air you can get an extra 2 hours watching netflix in html5 instead of silverlight! that's huge!
i havent plugged my phone into iTunes for two years. you don't have to do it any more. all of your iTunes songs get backed up to the cloud with iTunes match, then your phone can access them from the cloud. note this last part - you don't need to store all your songs on your phone, because you can stream them all!! you can store all or a subset if you want for offline access as well. so you can chillax about storage space bs.
lastly, nobody calls it a mp3 player anymore. most people don't even know what a mp3 is. lastly, with iOS 8 you can transfer any file to your phone from mac or windows computers, so chill the fuck out!
lastly, i don't like your tone, so go suck a dick.
alternate browser: chrome and opera are available for iPhone, and probably ffx too ( i never checked). you can put the browser on your dock and take the safari browser off your dock. the only limitation is you can't change the default browser for which program is used when opening links in an email, etc. but otherwise do what you want.
apps: on iPhone you're locked in to the default phone and sms apps as well as the default launcher. also there's no stupid customization apps like putting cats everywhere. otherwise, just get an iPhone man the life will be a lot easier.
I don't know anybody who pirates shows to a sd card and watches them on their phone. i'm pretty sure that use case is imaginary.
most people surf the web in 4:3 or 3:4. if your monitor is 16:9, then your browser window probably closely approximates 3:4 or 4:3. Also, a sheet of US paper is closer to 3:4, while euro A4 paper is closer to 16:9. also books are closer to 3:4. so there's a lot of natural reasons to view in 3:4
i don't think you can pirate apps unless your shizz is jailbroken, and only a limited selection of models can be jailbroken. so you're probably SOL. or... just VPN to a different country and buy the app?
The results imply that by allowing users to control permissions, Android may be better at preventing stealthy applications from getting hold of private information.
but androids don't allow users to control permissions. they give a one-time out-of-context pop up when requesting install. iPhones on the other hand you can go into settings at any time and toggle on or off which apps have access to contacts, gps, etc. looks like your "peer reviewed source" is bi-assed.
yes. in many programs you can forward a file to somebody ("share with"). Within the email program you can copy attachments and paste them into the new message. in the browser you can compy pictures and paste them into a message. you're welcome.
I call BS too. what was she using external storage for? which apps weren't available, given that there are millions of apps? I think you're making up a fake character with pretend problems.
that's cool, so the minimum wage people get 20% bump in income, but my cost of living goes up 10%, which is like a 20% pay cut because these costs come out of after tax dollars. no thanks, kiss my ass.
Wow that's really interesting! I know a lot more about this now.
I think the thing that was tripping up myself and I imagine many other users was the new definition of "memory used", especially since as you say all the memory should be use for something, either holding app memory or pre-loading files. this is why your app pressure is green even though all your memory is used, and all your memory is used up regardless of what you try to free up more memory.
from a user perspective, it sounds like the proper flow is this: * is your computer slow? then check your memory use in activity monitor. * is the memory pressure green? then your memory is fine, look for a problem elsewhere. * is the memory pressure yellow or red? then look in the top half of the window to identify apps that are using a bunch of memory, and close them. * is your bar yellow or red a lot? then either get used to keeping an eye on apps that take up a lot of memory, or upgrade if you can. it's cheap!
also, good to know that the memory management is smarter than I give it credit for. I think many of us were exposed to computers in the win 3.1 / win 95 era, when you had to worry about things like defragging your hard drive. Good to know smarter minds are on the job here!
I wonder how the approach to memory management will change in coming years. Since DOS there's been this idea that RAM is fast but limited and expensive, while HDD is slow but cheap and plentiful. Now with SSDs, HDD is a lot faster than before, but more limited than before and more expensive to upgrade. I imagine this will lead to different optimizations in coming versions.
i do not know what to expect if I click on the green button. will it maximize the window? or adjust the size but not maximize it? I don't know. = bad UI.
one big reason is with Condi Rice on the board of dropbox it's basically an open door for NSA. Apple has always emphasized privacy and security, and is the leader in reporting govt data requests and limiting access. If I had to bet on a horse, I'd bet on apple. btw after the condi announcement I switched from dropbox to Sync, and am happy.
I agree - Continuity is really cool and the utility will likely only become apparent after people use it for a while. Probably after people have used it for a year they'll be like, wow this is huge. similarly, the health and home stuff won'tt become apparent until there's stuff that takes advantage ofit. hey announced a whole bunch of dev tools, and a way for apps to break out of the sandbox, that will likely make much better apps. All this stuff is pretty big. And this is just software and services, i'm sure there's still some hardware in the pipeline.

then I guess you'll just keep using your home phone for work stuff and continue to complain about it. problem solved!
then just get two phones. that way there's no commingling of work information and home information. also you can have whatever home cell phone you want, even though work is giving you a crappy phone.
If work is paying for a cell phone plan, then why have a home plan?

Without oxygen there can't be a coal fire.
