  1. Force touch? on iPhone 6S New Feature: Force Touch · · Score: 0

    So is Apple now committing a human rights violation by forcing me to touch .... or is the Iphone 6 really that 6xy?

  2. Re:Nothing wrong... on Are We Too Quick To Act On Social Media Outrage? · · Score: 2

    Social media has made all those sins easier to do. In the past there'd just be neighbors gossiping about neighbors. Now it's the whole world and in a more permanent way

    No, I call it the foolishness of the crowd. Somebody's annoyance adds to somebody else's annoyance in feedback loop that soon turns to rage. This is no different from otherwise well-behaved individuals rioting when the opportunity presents itself.

  4. Re:O rly on Are We Too Quick To Act On Social Media Outrage? · · Score: 1

    Losing a volunteer position is the least of the man's problems.

    Nobody is 100% innocent, not even the pope.

  6. Re:FUD on Police Organization Wants Cop-Spotting Dropped From Waze App · · Score: 2

    Precisely, they should also ask Google to ban the app's ability to show the location of schools (which could theoretically put children at risk from tech-savvy "pedophiles") and hospitals and gasoline stations (which terrorists could blow up). Really any serious criminal is probably going to have trained spotters who'll report the presence of any law enforcer. Maybe we should also ban cellphones?

  7. Re:The solution is obvious on Google Explains Why WebView Vulnerability Will Go Unpatched On Android 4.3 · · Score: 1

    As another poster said, get a Nexus. The only beef I have against the Nexus is the lack of SD card support. In the past I could have gone for a Google Play Edition (GPE) device, which received fairly prompt Android updates, but Google appears to be phasing out the GPE program. Schade.

  8. Re:Will Ripple Eclipse Bitcoin? on Will Ripple Eclipse Bitcoin? · · Score: 1

    Without knowing why these movements are happening, raw market cap numbers are meaningless.

    IIRC, most of the XRP (ripple's currency) are in the hands of the creators. As a result of this large pool of illiquid XRP, even small market movements can have outsized effects on its price.

    True. True. As for sentence #3, I'm not too sure. If you assume the reliability of the posted data, there's a column showing trading volume. The ranking for trading volume is:

    1. Bitcoin / $ 38,610,400

    2. Litecoin / $ 4,211,520

    3. Ripple / $ 3,805,730

    4. Stellar (a ripple fork) / $ 2,431,440

    5. Dogecoin / $ 591,834

    Bitcoin is massively ahead but it's been on a downward trend. Litecoin is still ahead of Ripple in terms of daily traded volume, but like Bitcoin, Litecoin is also going down. On the other hand, the value of Ripple has been increasing, often in the two digit range for the past few weeks, along with the Ripple fork, Stellar, which this morning shot up an incredible 118%!
