Amazon has probably the worst interface on PC to get to their movies. Most apps to search are much better but not great. Until they fix the GUI the video that comes with Amazon Prime is just a bonus to the shipping option. Just copy Netflix and be done with it already!
This will just cause people to not update and decrease web security as a whole. There is no way I am updating my browser if it is going to break my Adblock.
This was not an accident. I woke up this morning to my Roomba attempting to vacuum my face off. get rid of your robots! Oh shit. the security drone is running into my office door. send help i'm at....
I was seriously considering getting a Pixel 3. This decision made that real easy. If Google wants to start down the proprietary road they will do it without me.
Almost all major world powers limit the amount drug companies are allowed to charge. This is exactly why! I don"t give a shit about freedom or capitalism when it comes to life-saving procedures and medicines. This should be illegal and no one should make a profit on suffering. People that think this is acceptable are garbage people, in my opinion.
If you don't like it stop buying their stuff. I have. It wasn't easy. I grew up with Nintendo. I love Nintendo games. I will not ignore the fact that they do ugly shit like this on a regular basis. They attack fans and abuse a broken copyright system. I won't support that behavior. Many do this but Nintendo is the most aggressive and abusive. If enough people said enough is enough and actually stopped buying. Nintendo's tactics would change. It always comes down to money and if it proves unprofitable they will quit.
I was hired by a small IT company that supported small Mom and Pop shops, small dental offices and retail stores of various types. I was hired to streamline support and create documentation to make support more uniform. I was soon tasked with a list of quick and dirty patch jobs for various clients. The owner regularly promised more than could be provided by the small team. This created mass amounts of stress and lots of angry calls from customers.
The second issue was the boss's temper. He would often come into the office in a rage over something that happened outside the office. He would then yell and scream at the people in the office for minor delays or mistakes. Often the delays he was yelling about were delays he caused. Either by telling someone to wait or not getting his portion of the task done in time.
I quit as soon as I found another job. Actually, a week or so prior till the other job was official but stress was just too high.
If they get it built I hope they expand to include more cities. Gettting to go from Boston to NY quickly would be great. Would much rather jump on this than a plane.
Not only a sizable population living there but also a tourist hotspot for Muslims. Thanks for showing how ignorant you are. It makes it easier for others to know you are not worth paying attention to.
More pointless pseudo-security that makes no one safer. I have forgotten my pocket knife multiple times and walked right on the plane with no problem. The whole idea that AA and AAA batteries can't have a big enough charge to bring down a plane is laughable. I have only a little experience with electronics and explosives and I could easily create something that used button cell batteries and had more than enough power to disable a plane. A trained bomb-making expert could do even better. At this rate, we will be forbidden to bring a potato on the plane since they could be used as a battery.
This makes no one safer just makes flying more inconvenient. Now I only fly when I absolutely have to. It might take an extra day to drive but I rather do that at this point than deal with the airport. This just gives me one more reason to avoid it.

Eat less, move more. It is that simple. Anyone that tell you otherwise is lying. If you have health issues this simply solution may not apply but in general works really well.
"The article also points out that the technology could be implemented in situations involving sensitive equipment, such as in airplanes or hospitals."
Both these places are safe to use phones. it has been proven that current cell phone technology does not affect sensitive equipment in either place.
I know the first time my phone automatically turns off I will cancel the service and get another phone that doesn't. I do turn my phone to silent in movie theaters as all good movie goers should. This is a free country and people have the choice to leave it on and be ass hats if they want to.
All that on top of the fact this is just ridiculous and hopefully won't get patented as prior art is definitely already out there.
I'm with you 100%. Comcast should be held accountable for this. If law makers are doing it they need to get booted and brought up on charges as well. This kind of thing just makes me sick.
I wish I had the kind of money to invest in Virgin Galactic. If they can come through on this they are going to have more money than Gates in no time. We are watching the future unfold here.
Stupid people say stupid things it is as simple as that. What we need to do is educate the young and hopefully they will be able to tell what their parents are saying is wrong. We don't teach any where near enough science in the states.
Why does/. still even give this guy headlines? He is a complete idiot. The few solid points he makes are far over shadowed by idiotic ones. It's like giving money to bums or feeding a stray you are only encouraging them. I say we just stop reading this guys blogs and anything else he puts his name on and maybe he will crawl back under his rock.
The only deal they have with Apple is for a single device. I don't see any good reason for AT&T not to join in. This is disappointing since they are my provider. If this platform turns out well I may be changing providers when it comes time to renew my contract. AT&T by the way has snubbed Google on most if not all of their devices. The phones they have come with pre-installed messenger apps and email notification and Google apps are not supported. The best you get is a download for gtalk but it is not integrated so you have to be "online" to use it. The others simple work without having to have the app open. AT&T has gone down hill since they started advertising fewest drop calls. That is when mine started dropping like mad and most of the people I know with service from them have had the same.
That explains a lot it is unfortunate he can not continue to be the main writer. Another downfall in my opinion can be the director which can change quite a bit during the course of a TV shows life.
The plot sounds great and could be a really good show. Unfortunately like a few others have stated his shows often teeter out. Many people blame him for this but I think this is unfair. It could be him or it could be the fat cats at the networks dictating what happens next cause that is what they want to see. We will never know which but I hope this turns out well. I'll be sure to download at least the first few episodes to see how it plays out.

So it is ok to send teenagers off to war but sending in a robot is somehow not ethical? Maybe these people are not as smart as they think they are.

They could just not label them like many other grocers. Try training your checkers better.

Actually, Japan has a rather large Muslim population. I hope you are not capable of breeding we don't need any more of you.

Distraction news that doesn't matter.
A walled garden is not a good thing for anybody. This will fail miserably as it should!
