apple music premium or spotify premium you can download anything you want to listen to so you don't need to stream it or worry about a signal everywhere you go or worry about your data allowance.
because they have thousands or millions of viewers, the bands and record companies know who they are and let them do it as marketing. you really think all those bloggers out there buy all the crap they blog about or buy all the tickets to the shows and whatever? it's all free and part of the product placement budget like TV back in the 50's and radio before that
who cares, $10 a month i can listen to as many new releases or songs I haven't heard of as I want at any time that i want
my music library peaked at 200 some CD's back in the day and most of them i would only listen to once a year. no value in buying music anymore for a huge collection
that's because these people make money from tax free government bonds, not wages. higher taxes mean governments can buy more bonds to fix stuff which means the rich people who support this will give them the bond money in return for tax free income for themselves and make money.
this is for income taxes stupid. most of these people make most of their income from dividends and other non-salary income which is taxed at much lower rates and i don't see anything about taxing it at higher rates.
this is a tax on the newly uppity former poor people who made it out of rags and moving into neighborhoods they shouldn't be moving into.
a lot of these people don't make money from jobs, they get it from investments and family trust funds that buy up housing for them to live in for free. and they own a lot of property. dividends and investments are taxed at lower rates than income. unless they raise the dividend tax rates or get rid of tax benefits in tax free municipal bonds these people are blowing hot air and simply taxing others to make money for themselves
calling for higher taxes on income means newly successful people pay more and have a harder time buying their own property and moving up creating a class of royalty.
this is how it works in NYC. they reduce income taxes by a pittance but the property taxes keep going up which means rents go up and higher rents mean higher property taxes and profits for the landowners.
i was looking at buying one for my mom since she has an old and crappy android phone she hates, but i might as well just pass on my 6S to her and buy a 7 later this year. same with my wife's parents. she will just give them her 6 and buy a 7 as well
if you think this is only driven by T-mobile you are deluding yourself. it's driven by money and all the big content companies on the internet don't want to spend it on upcoming upgrades. having their customers watch their content in low data streams is saving netflix, google and anyone else who signs up a lot of money
yeah, but don't tell that to the couch potatoes who think they are utter geniuses and super advanced power users for using more data than anyone else on the equivalent of sitting on the couch and watching TV all day long
and fossil fuels only work when oil companies get cheap leases on federal land and a million man milirary ready to kill thousands of people to keep the overseas oil flowing in the name of freedom
arbitration means you have to go in with evidence of real financial losses and how you were wronged. not sign up on a website for a bunch of lawyers to make a lot of money settling a case because it's cheaper.
those were actual losses because they were advertising 17" monitors and selling 15" or so with the bezels. somewhat like all the 52x cdrom drives back in the day that never performed close to that speed.
AT&T has been open about throttling for years, their sales people have told people to use wifi, and many of these people signed new contracts with the throttled plans.
the throttling has been around for a while. by now all the original contracts ended long ago and these people bought new phones starting new contracts with the throttling
WTF were the actual losses here? i remember the days when class action lawsuits were about suing over crappy products that resulted in death, injury, lifetime health issues, etc. now people are suing a cell phone carrier who told them about throttling but their lives are so hopeless they are suing over being able to watch unlimited netflix and youtube everywhere they go.
did they lose money? use of their bodies? they can still sue, they just have to do it one by one and present actual evidence of losses and how they were suckered when AT&T told them about the throttling and how they still signed up for it after buying new phones. except it will go to an arbitrator and not some lawyers who will make out big
netflix CDN's sync 5TB of data per night. if i have 20TB of storage at home that's more than enough data to keep everything local and not worry about my speed. netflix will go for it as well since they are still depreciating their OpenConnect servers and once that is done they would rather have people download data at off hours than buy expensive new equipment for tens of thousands of people to watch 4K at the same time. BingeOn is already about extending the life of their CDN servers by lowering the amount of bandwidth people use
it's always about money

what about all the new instructions they have added outside of x64. MMX, SSE and i forgot what else
i have a 128GB iphone. i just download over wifi and have a month's worth of music on me at any time

you're describing AT&T Wireless circa 2009 along with Sprint a few years ago

no but T-Mo changed it to where the content producer can manager the compression and quality of the stream on their end instead or T-Mo doing it
information wants to be free and all and no one loses money when someone plays a game they didn't buy
and fossil fuels only work when oil companies get cheap leases on federal land and a million man milirary ready to kill thousands of people to keep the overseas oil flowing in the name of freedom
don't hit the phone staring geeks with the truth. they can't handle it

hard drives have never been very reliable either and people still bought them
if i can simply carry around enough movies and music and TV to last me a few months to a year?
what next?
who cares? if slashdot thinks it's ok to copy and share movies and music, there is nothing wrong with this
