I just wish that the data I don't use per month could be credited back. It seems pretty fucked up that I can use 3/5 gigs this month and get no credit back, then have to pay an overage next month if I use 7/5 gigs.
Couldn't agree more. This was probably also around the time they changed from a search engine and decided to become a celebrity gossip site with a dated search engine attached to it.
Their biggest issue was when they stopped being a search engine and started being a media gossip site. While it kinda feels sad from the whole internet history thing, Yahoo really died at least 15 years ago.
So why the fuck did they decide to fragment it?! Fuck off, Google! They replace 1 solid app with a good userbase for 2 "okay" applications that do the same (but less) as the current popular app and 0 userbase.
I don't have enough room on my phone to hold that much music. I could use a cloud alternative, but then that would require me to buy a shit ton of albums, and then clog up harddrive space with ripped CD's.
Streaming doesn't really use up that much data, so it's really not a problem for me. My biggest issue is ads on YouTube while I'm on mobile. They should switch to some static image or something if you're on mobile.
I've never actually used Duo, but I've heard the video quality is apparently better. But it may also be the fact that there is less packets being spammed around considering conversation is only between two participants, and there is less going on with Duo.
Why the hell are they pushing a feature-limited One-on-one app over Hangouts? Why couldn't they have just implemented the features of Duo into Hangouts to allow for higher-quality video chats during one-on-one calls?
Could you not just create a program to run that pumps out a bunch of random ultrasounds? It could flood the environment and make the original ultrasound signal impossible to discover, no?
I honestly can't wait for China to swoop in and become as clean (or cleaner) than EU/NA. Mainly to see all of these idiots going on about "Why should we clean up our ways when China is pumping out x times more crap than us?". They also seem to forget that China is a toxic mess because they're producing all the crap for the cleaner countries.
The interesting thing about their new motto is that you don't even have to change it. What's "right" is really subjective. Is it "do what's right for the company", "do what's right for humanity"... it's ambiguous.
The tried to shut down Napster (media-only) and we got Gnutella (allowing us to share ANYTHING). Then they shut down all the major Gnutella apps and we got Torrents. I'm excited to see what the next thing is that we'll get - it gets better with every iteration.
I'm an Android user living under a rock... is Nintendo basically selling a Mario-themed version of Subway Surfer/Temple Run for $10.00 and expecting people to buy it?!
Wouldn't business execs be the easiest to automate? Their entire job is making business decisions based on trending information and forecasting, no? Sounds like something a pretty small shell script could do with ease.
1. Any person acting as president would have access to the same thing, so why is this worth a story?
2. Just because Trump has access to it doesn't mean he's going to abuse it.
3. Obviously there are fucking checks and balances in place... so again, this story is a non-story
4. Guess what - Trump also has access to 911!:O
Why the fuck are people so pissy about Trump? They fucking voted him in! If everybody is so serious about Clinton 4 prez, where were they on voting night? I assume the Clinton circlejerk ran a bit late.
The real question is if the hackers declared the income. If they did, I really don't see how they managed to get in trouble for selling game data for cash... seems fucky. If it were earned the way EA expected the credits to be earned and then sold, would they still care?
it was "cumbersome" and because wireless transfer technology for cameras is "proving very useful" as an alternative.
Isn't this more or less (Bluetooth instead of transfer tech for cameras) what they said about the headphone jack that they removed from the phone, but kept on their laptop?

YouTube Red I think only applies to USA. I get 10% off in the app store, but I still get ads on YouTube.
I have a GPM Subscription- no ads and not a lot of data use there, either.

Interesting - Soundjam looks a lot like Winamp, but for Mac.

1. That was Google's old Motto.
2. Google changed their motto to "Do What's Right" after turning into Alphabet.

Google dropped that motto when they blew up into Alphabet. Their new motto is "Do what's right" ...pretty ambiguous if you ask me.
Oh thank god. When people kept referring to it as a running game, I thought it was going to be another one of those Temple Run kinda knockoff games.

I thought the whole point of Uber was to pick up some extra money on the side? I didn't think it was designed to be treated like a full-time job.

If this happens, it's really going to fuck up my 2 hours of daily bus rides... :\

"This is a win for music artists" Sure... I think this is a win for the execs and the labels. I doubt the artists will see any of it.
