  1. Thanks. The story was based on a TechCrunch report. At the time of filing, these documents were not available, I feel.

  2. Thanks for the tip on Tech Firms Say FBI Wants Browsing History Without Warrant (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Thanks to everyone who submitted similar stories.

  3. Re:Bloomberg website is spammy on Samsung To Launch Smartphones With Bendable Screens in 2017, Reports Bloomberg (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a Bloomberg original report. So all roads will lead to the same destination. Nothing I can do about that.

    Thanks for this. I personally don't find it annoying -- as the pop-up video only talks about the report. At any rate, I have added an alternate source. Cheers.

  5. Re:Reminds me of on Man Sued For $30K Over $40 Printer He Sold On Craigslist (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes sir. It's pretty sad, though.

  6. Reminds me of on Man Sued For $30K Over $40 Printer He Sold On Craigslist (usatoday.com) · · Score: 2

    For some reason, this whole fiasco reminds me of this scene from Office Space.

  7. Re:Digital Advertising Alliance on Facebook Begins Tracking Non-Users Around the Internet (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    It is for the United States. I have added the links to the story, please have a look. Thanks.

  8. Prison Break is returning in a few months.

  9. Re:Bad headline: "Its News Operation"? on Internal Docs Show Human Intervention at Almost Every Stage Of Facebook's News Operation (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Fixed! Was editing some other story, saw this breaking news -- had to quickly get it up.

  10. Re:Wha' happen!? To the NASA story? on Slashdot Asks: How Long Before Self-Driving Cars Become Mainstream? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I pulled it because we had already run it a week ago. A few readers submitted it today (actually, plenty of outlets have run the story today), hence the confusion.

  11. Re:Why is there a donut hole on Windows 10 Now Runs On 300M Active Devices; Upgrade To Cost $119 After July 29 · · Score: 1

    My bad, folks. It's indeed July 29. Thanks for pointing it out -- have fixed it.

  12. Re:Slashvert... on Datto Launches Datto Drive For SMBs; Offers 1TB at $10 a Month For Unlimited Users (dattodrive.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hi, I'm the editor who approved the submission. I found it interesting and thought readers here will find it useful. It's not an advertisement, and I intentionally edited the headline and body text to make things clear.

  13. Re:Paywall on Doctor Ready to Perform First Human Head Transplant (newsweek.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Thanks for pointing that out. It's a feature article, so you wouldn't find this news elsewhere. I have updated the story to add a Google cache link of the story, check if that helps.

  14. Re:Best article title on Slashdot for years on iTunes Turns 13 Today -- Continues To Be 'Awful' (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Glad you like it :) I played with Quartz's headline and made some tweaks.

  15. Re:Number of Ads on Medium on Your Media Business Will Not Be Saved (medium.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Medium is relatively new in the business, and it currently does advertorial. And while it has avoided ads. That is likely to change soon (video).

  16. Re:Old News on Google Appears To Be Working On Bringing Android Apps to Chrome OS · · Score: 1

    That was different. The company was making select Android apps available to Chrome OS users. And "the tools" that developers could use didn't include Google Play.

  17. Re:Write-up is exactly right. It's a good thing. on Slashdot Asks: Does It Matter That We've Reached Peak Smartphone? · · Score: 1

    Hi, I just read your article. It's very insightful. Have added it to the story.

  18. Re:Don't accuse me of poetry on UK Hosting Provider 123-Reg Accidentally Deletes Customer Sites (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    best thing I have read in weeks.

    It was indeed a case of autocorrect system fixing my words for me. Apologies. Disabling this terrible extension I downloaded. Thanks for pointing out, guys.

    Hey, yeah just fixed all the glitches. Was planning to run this story later, but there was an issue with the timestamp.

  21. Thanks for pointing it out.

  22. Thanks :)

    I hope you're not being sarcastic.

  24. Re:Missing information on Kepler Recovered from Emergency and Stable (nasa.gov) · · Score: 1

    1. It's an unmanned spacecraft -- so be rest assured that there is no person inside it that was trying to fix it. 2. It's a submission by an anonymous reader. 3. NASA hasn't made available the details of the people who worked on getting the spacecraft back to shape. Thanks for the feedback, nonetheless.

    What do you mean? We are talking about a spacecraft here.
