    go ahead and browse one of the topics listed in the main nav if you don't want to see huge breaking international news occasionally. that's what they're there for

  3. Disagree. With the exception of you and very few others, it's generated some good discussion. If you don't like Apple, that's fine, but its not an advertisement and we weren't paid for it. I might agree with your headline suggestion if we had posted this after the new phone was released, rather than before.

    "It's a lot like Siri in that way: too many failed attempts and you'll never open it again -- at least not on purpose."

  8. You think Apple really paid us to get (by and large) roasted by people who hate Apple? Come on, you're better than that.

    I'm not going to admit something that's not true just because someone wants to stir up shit because they don't have anything better to do. Thank you for crying me a river

    The Supreme Court could have a pretty large impact on technology, privacy, encryption, etc. It's one story on the front page about a huge political event that could affect technology significantly. You're welcome to scroll past it onto the other 30 specifically tech focused stories.
