Seen through that lens, Google Fiber succeeded wildly. It stimulated the incumbents to accelerate their own infrastructure investments by several years.
No, it didn't. If infrastructure investments had accelerated, I would be able to get AT&T U-verse. But I'm still stuck with AT&T DSL with max down speed of 6Mbps.
And instead of shrinking the body of laptops down to match the size of the new bezel-less display, I'd prefer that they keep the body size from the previous bezeled display model and just give us a larger bezel-less display because when they shrink the body size, we end up getting less of other things too: less battery life, less ports, smaller cramped keyboards, etc.

Technically, AT&T did lower prices. They now offer a streaming tv service called WatchTV that's $15 per month or free if you have an AT&T wireless unlimited plan. They didn't offer this prior to the merger.
The parent is stating that Apple is "only making a $24 profit" which isn't true.
The battery might "costs Apple about $5" but the parent fails to factor in the cost of labor, rent, electricity, and other overhead costs. Apple's true profit is lower.
by including in iOS the ability to see health information of battery like you can on MacBooks. Show the Cycle Count and Condition and other pertinent info so users have a better idea of when the battery is bad and needs replacing.
And I'm sure their plan is if they are dragged screaming and kicking into court they will say 'well we did knock down the price of the replacement battery by $21, that that means we do listen to customers and we are a nice company'.
You mean knock down the price of the replacement battery by $50.
I posted on the MassEffect:Andromeda forum asking why they called the loot-chest dealer a "store" and not a casino.
It's a store if you can go in and put down money and buy a specific item, like I go to grocery store, and put down a few bucks and can buy milk.
That's not gambling. What is gambling is if the store gives some "unknown" reward for your few dollars. You may get milk (5% chance), or you may get a dead rat 90% chance, or a character card for a random character. You don't get to choose before hand.
I suppose trading card games like Pokemon are a form of gambling too then. You're paying $x for a pack of 10 random cards. People keep buying them hoping to get that powerful or rare card, but end up with multiple duplicates of weak common cards.
I probably return half of the clothes I buy online because they didn't fit right (not every size M or size L is the same across all brands/manufacturers or even the same brand), the image didn't present the garments color accurately, item was damaged or irregular, or because of poor construction quality/materials.
When buying in-store, I can try on and inspect the item before purchasing. Obviously, you can't do that with online purchases.

Definitely prefer a 16:10 aspect ratio to 16:9.

Are we sure it is?
We're pretty sure, but we need to wait until more data is available before we officially close the debate.

Well, that settles it: The second form just feels weird and stilted, like a grammar rule from a musty out-of-date dictionary. Debate closed.
Debate close?
1) What data is you looking at?
2) What data are you looking at?
Nope. Nothing has been settled. The 1st form feels weird.

You mean this? AT&T Promised Lower Prices After Time Warner Merger -- It's Raising Them Instead. Is not that some sort of breach of agreement?

This was a result of the merger.
Isn't "The Voice" a singing competition? It's not impossible to envisage someone streaming that with no intention of watching the video.
Why was the driver looking down then?

AT&T probably couldn't get favorable terms where they wouldn't be stuck with excess inventory of unsellable Huawei phones.
The poorly received Amazon Fire phone is probably still fresh in their minds. A $199 Fire phone that sold for $0.99 two months later.

If Apple damages your iPhone while they replace the battery, Apple will cover the damage.
If you damage your iPhone while you attempt to replace the battery, you're SOL.
A battery pack costs Apple about $5: https://technology.ihs.com/api/binary/595761
Which means they are only making a $24 profit instead of $74.
Where is Apple getting the free labor from?

Battery replacement price is currently $79.
Net neutrality does not mean you get to copy copyrighted material. If you do that, stop having an iot thermostat.
But the ISP would be cutting off your internet connection merely because the copyright holder thinks you're pirating their material.
What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
How do we know the copyright holder isn't making a mistake?

People still do that? I just use the Command + L (Mac) or Alt + D (Windows) keyboard shortcut to highlight/move cursor to address bar.
