  1. Re:God, I hope not on Apple Approaches McLaren About A Potential Acquisition: FT (ft.com) · · Score: 1

    May be a corporate entity, but the merger means one less company somewhere in the umbrella. Diversity is important, and it's something that's quickly disappearing.

  2. For who knows why, Niantic's latest update to PoGo bars all rooted users from playing. Would this app cause all of those players to no longer access the game?

  5. Not enough bang for the buck on Android Wear Hopefuls Call Timeout On Smartwatches (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Smartwatches are awesome. I'd love to have one... but the cost just doesn't justify what you get. It falls into the same pit as the Apple products. Spend a lot, get a little. If they could manage to make a good watch for say $100 or so, I'd be all over it.

    Or they will redesign the lock/unlock button and put the fingerprint scanner there. That's what Android OEM's have done that removed the physical "home" buttons from their devices.

  10. Re:So... on Apple's Next Year iPhone Won't Have the Home Button: NYTimes · · Score: 1

    They could redesign the sleep/wake button and put it there... just like Android OEM's did when they got rid of the physical home button.

    That's great that they're pushing against Trump, but Hillary is just as shitty of a choice, albeit in different ways. Who's left that is capable of running the country? There's Johnson, but I'm not sure how I feel about him.

    Yup. To this day I can't understand why "Hide known extensions" is enabled by default. Seems like the one of the worst possible things you could do.

    Apparently you also missed the "/s" at the end of the comment.

    Also, the coffee company's logo is an illustration of an angry looking cat. It's not the photo of THE Grumpy cat. The owners of the cat in the meme can't claim ownership on the name "Grumpy Cat" nor can they claim ownership of every angry cat in existence.

  17. Re: Seems about right on Grumpy Cat Wants $600K From 'Pirating' Coffee Maker (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, for one, I ended my post with a "/s" which apparently everybody missed... but for two, they own the cat, sure, but they don't own the meme. And the meme is what's making all of the money. Furthermore, the coffee company uses an illustration of a grumpy cat. Could be any cat that looks similar to "the" grumpy cat. The cat owners don't own the name "Grumpy Cat" nor do they own every cat that looks grumpy. I just can't see them winning a law suit like this.

    What's with this race for "Thinner" shit? With the amount of money that I spend on tech, I want it to be heavier and solid. I want it to dent the floor when I drop it. This race to make shit more fragile needs to stop.

  25. Too bad for Sammy on Apple, Samsung Capture All Of Industry's Smartphone Profits (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Too bad Samsung has been making some absolutely shit business decisions on their phones lately. I was going to upgrade to an S7, but with the bootloader being locked down to such an extreme, my next phone will 100% be a Nexus. I guess if Samsung wins the chance to build the Nexus models in a year or two they'll win my vote again, but until then - so long.
