This sort of "outsourcing" of illegal information gathering activities has been going on for years. GCHQ has the NSA spying on the Brits. GCHQ spies on the Yankees. The Cannucks are spying on the Aussies and the Aussies are spying on the Cannucks. Meanwhile the Kiwis are all pissed because no one gives a shit about what goes on in New Zealand.
For a country like America who gave the crown a fat middle finger, the level of coziness today should unnerve everyone.
Either have a dedicated power cable or figure out how to prevent low powered USB C ports from being fried if you plug in the wrong cable. Until they solve that problem, it isn't ready for the mainstream. The ports should be smart enough to not take the full voltage. I've already seen a few folks fry their expensive phones by plugging in the wrong USB C cable.
To be honest, Furie's reaction to all of this seems at best misplaced and at worst a missed opportunity. He has a character that has become massively well known and popular all over the world. Why hasn't he started marketing mugs, T-shirts, video series, and other trollish things featuring Pepe?
He could have easily parleyed Pepe into a popular Youtube animation series mocking and poking fun at everything under the sun and 4Chan would have eaten it up! Furie's an idiot for not capitalizing on this gold mine.
Secondly, what's this trite about Pepe being hate filled? Unless the term hate filled has been translated to, "anything that disagrees with what uber rich people and their useful idiots want" there isn't anything hate filled about Pepe.
I have a lot of French and Russian friends that i've made during my travels. One thing that i've noticed between them is a sort of mild cultural annoyance that their language isn't as dominant like English or even to an extent Spanish.
The UK was an EU anchor tenant. No amount of EU sour grapes will change that fact. Even without them, everyone will still be wanting to speak English.
The unwritten tidbit here was the lunches became so bland and boring that kids stopped eating them and instead either didn't eat or brought in food. This isn't good because school lunches come from farming subsidizes and under utilized school lunch programs in low income areas mean kids aren't eating. The real solution to this is more physical education (with physical exertion).
There are ways to safely test complicated scenarios with multiple cars. Look at how the highway safety institute handles crash tests. They make a car and essentially destroy it. That is how you safely test cars by having several drivers on a closed course simulate heavy traffic changing lanes and even tapping the vehicle to simulate a collision.
Unless it is possible for a self driving car to be driven with a blind folded "driver" they shouldn't be on the road at all. You know what real automakers do when they want to test concepts and innovative cars? They put them onto test tracks and proving grounds so they don't risk the lives of regular people going about their lives.
The IoT is the biggest farce ever and consumers are not falling for it anymore. They though their deviant ways to have consumer's usage be tracked and sold to advertisers would work but for once consumers said enough!
Much like smart watches which have thankfully died down to the niche that they always were, hopefully internet connected TVs, fridges, and toilets will become a painful and forgotten technological memory of the past like Windows Me.
Was a ploy to get people eating grains and other processed cereals as the main item of their diets as opposed to healthy proteins and animal fats. Nothing more, noting less.
In 100 years people who were successful in one field will continue to try and predict the future in areas that they have no expertise in and still be wrong.
I'm waiting for the day these half assed self driving car systems cause a massive accident and some politician responds with some poor knee jerk "ban 'em" response. It's only a matter of time.
A self driving car system where I have to pay attention while doing nothing is the worst aspect of these features.
We found a planet let's imply it can support life! But wait it's not really able to do that since the surface is hotter than hell. But it's really close to us and orbits a geriatric star.
A little known secret: Most countries' governments arbitrarily set the price of drugs and medical devices during negotiations and force pharma and medical device manufactures to sell it at a loss (or simply not have access to that market). To make up for the R&D and marketing, they have to jack the price up in the US to make up the loss. http://www.ibtimes.com/how-us-...
With the upcoming collapse of Obamacare, the rest of the world should be afraid of the US doing the same to the drug and med device companies. The cost of healthcare for the rest of the world will go up while it goes down for the US. I shudder to think about the hoards of angry folks when NHS starts becoming moderately expensive.
Why don't businesses only hire females and minorities? If females only make 20% less or whatever number it is these days, then it would make prudent business sense to hire only minorities and women since they're on the whole cheaper.
The industry's mea culpa will be for the major studios to buy out all of these cinema chains and close a significant portion of them down. That's the only way the theaters will agree to this. Regular movie theaters will go the way of the drive in with a few kept around for nostalgia. This is a good thing.

Money isn't everything.
If you had a decent amount of it, you would feel differently. Sounds like sour grapes to me.

The same entity that curated their "trending" algorithms. These elites will stoop to any level to maintain there control.
Seriously though, what device these days has a removable battery?
That's great! I'm not seeing other important things such as an audio jack or removable battery in the specs though?
There's an audio jack but no removable battery. Crackberry.com has a review that mentions it.

Because kids were taking the trays and not eating them on their free and reduced lunch. IE not eating the food.

I can smell it.
If the CIA can down an aircraft like MH370?

The setting to turn it off is in the router/modem box. Not a big deal.

Isn't that really cool guys?!?!

It's only fake when it comes from non-MSM sources and doesn't peddle the neocon talking points.

And always use a masculine pronoun if you don't know the gender!
Heil Grammar!
