I beg to differ. They hocked their Innovation to keep the lights on. Some pawn shop owner in Oakland is now in possession of Apple's Innovation, and unless they go to buy it back soon, it'll be sold off to Samsung for a song.
Right, because Russia doesn't have real assets in place to get their hands on security briefings and have to rely on manipulating a (notoriously unpredictable) candidate for President into funneling them secrets in the middle of the most scrutinized election in American history?
If anything, both countries have legitimate gripes with the White devils: China and the Opium wars, India and the British Empire.
We should demand the vile Westeners abdicate the power they stole from proud People of Color and let China dictate world policy from now on. What a paradise the world will be then!
More like Windows is fucking retarded and that's what the stupid "smart apostrophe" looks like when going from Windows-1252 to whatever useless encoding Slashdot uses.
Smart quotes are a scourge, only typography weenies give a shit. ASCII ' and " should be enough for everybody.
Hangouts used to have seamless SMS/Hangouts. However Google, in their infinite wisdom, removed this feature. It boggles the mind, the blatant mismanagement of products at Google. They're nearly as bad as Microsoft at this point.
The Allo/Duo team is probably politically connected to higher ups at Google and persuaded them to hamstring Hangouts because it would help Allo/Duo. In-fighting, turf wars, and political bullshit are to blame for the death of Hangouts. Google is retarded.
Yes, but the crucial difference is that iMessage is supported by Apple while Google seems to be doing everything it can to destroy Hangouts short of just pulling the plug.
They seriously expect people to use Allo, Duo, and Messenger because... well who the fuck knows? Google does everything half-assed and stupid.
1) Find genetic source of "being an asshole" 2) Undertake Eugenics program to eliminate (or sterilize) those with the "asshole gene" 3) Rejoice, you've Progressed to a better world for all!
He's bullshitting through and through. He's likely a millennial whose imaging a past that didn't exist so he can pretend battery tech has meaningfully progressed. It hasn't.
God damn it, the Baby Boomers have failed us yet again! Is there anything their scourge hasn't touched?!
How do you figure? He's talking about all the "Internet of Things" garbage Sillicon Valley is so in love these days. You know, those little spy devices they get you to pay for and then leverage for data collection?
Anyway, these smart lights, hubs, thermostats, toasters, etc., are wildly insecure, to the point of some even having an open telnet port with root access! So we have all these fancy networked gewgaws which get pwned by hackers and used to DDoS anyone they feel like.
To be perfectly clear: These devices didn't exist as little as four years ago, so banning them from the internet would not in any way reduce its functionality. Other than that a bunch of rich nerds will have to remember to turn their fucking thermostats to the right setting before they go to work, nothing of value will be lost.
The Internet of Things is a solution looking for a problem and a way for sleazy tech companies to fleece the consumer. That it has ended up being co-opted by (other) scumbags to do their (differently) evil bidding is just one more nail in the coffin.
No autonomous vehicles claim to handle dirt roads without markings, snowy conditions that blind lidar, or construction zones all on their own. I still fear a large increase in the error rate for manual driving by drivers who become rusty and have to take over under the worst driving situations (possibly after being summoned from a nap). On the plus side, their pickiness might finally get some money spent to properly maintain the roads.
These fucking cars are going to be just like everything else that comes out of the tech industry these days: It works best in the only place on earth that matters, San Fransisco. Are there any dirt roads in San Fransisco? Probably not, so it doesn't matter if the car can handle them. You know what else it doesn't do in California? Snow.
Everything the tech industry does these days is useless shit tailored to rich techies in southern California. It's so blatantly obvious I don't know why they bother to pretend they care about anything else.
At what point do we dispense with the fiction that we own the things we buy?
The more I hear about these Tesla cars the worse they sound. "We decide when, where, and how you use car and Autopilot, because the EULA says we can do whatever we want."
You know how everyone around here bitches a blue streak about how shitty software licensing is? Let's just apply all that same shit to cars! It'll be great!
Funny how everyone who doesn't worship the liberal establishment automatically turns into "literally Hitler", and the same people who previously supported that person have a full body orgasm when they're taken down.
Clearly because of internalized misogyny, duh. I mean, how can you see female preference for males with high social status as anything but a vast patriarchal conspiracy stretching back to the dawn of humanity? Are you blind?!

Galaxy S4? Sounds like Galaxy S4. Even with a custom ROM those fucking things don't have shit for space.

Makes perfect sense.
Almost entirely non-white, so they're good.

It's OK, http://reddit.com/r/wallstreet... has his back.
They've almost certainly locked the bootloader, and no, you can't have the keys thank you very much!

Of course. The boogeyman's henchmen are legion.
Elevators go up, elevators go down. You can't explain that.
They can call it whatever they want. Why not Drivrly? Is that still hip, or has SV moved on to some other insipid bullshit?

Still the province of pompous rich farts though.

Just as we've always been.
Russia bear, not Bearnstein bear.
Ah, I see the confusion. Welcome to the Berenstain Universe, traveller. Some disorientation is expected after arrival.
Time to start up the Neo-Luddite movement and get cracking on some robocide. Let's smash us some job stealin' robots boys! Yeee-ha!
Why not both? Shitlery for President! I'm With Führer!

Give them time, they'll warm up to it. What do you think all this forced migration is about anyway?
