My favorite is the iPhone Notes app, because it comes with my phone and it's always with me. If I'm sitting at my computer, I'm more likely to use Notepad. Ye olde paper & pen is by far the fastest, but I don't always have paper with me, and I tend to lose paper notes.
I don't have a problem with a politician changing their views. I DO have a problem with a politician lying about their views to get elected, then "changing" after the election, screwing the poor shmoes who voted for the bums.
I have 3-4 hours after work. Total! I divide that between TV, Internet, feeding my face, and other crap. I probably see about an hour or 2 of TV, and that includes Netflix.
My landline doesn't have a clock. It's a moot point, given that I have several time displays within sight of it, but the phone itself doesn't have anything.
My landline doesn't have the time. Obviously, almost everything else does (cellphone, tv/DVR, answering machine, just to list the stuff in view of my landline), but even in prehistoric times when there were fewer clocks, I seldom called it to get the time. It also told the temperature (which of course I can also get off my cellphone:-P ).

Don't get me started on that! I watched that abomination, and it seemed like every other word was some voiceover that didn't even sound remotely like Willis.
Totally agree! Floppies were a PITA, but for a long time there was no good replacement. I still remember the time an old computer died, and I tried restoring the data to the new box from a zip drive. It got most of them, but then made a noise similar to the sound I make after eating too many beans. Luckily the files I didn't get weren't very important. Not that floppies did much better, but at least when it went PFFT, I couldn't lose much.
Depends on how much it annoyed me. Some ads make me go "Ugh" but then I forget about them. I might subconsciously buy some of that crap. Other ads make me go "Arrggghhhh!!!!!" and drive me to chopping up my TV with an axe! I don't forget those ads, and I consciously avoid that product.
Absolutely this! I went through a long period of little or no programming, and what I did do was pretty simple. Then I got thrown into the deep end in an unfamiliar language. My semi-hiatus hurt me, but I was still able to get up to speed in the new language & project.
I still have a "dumb" TV. It's not big screen, only 32", but good enough, and a better fit for my not-so-big living room anyway. And no ransomware worries.
Awhile back, I had to do something on the IBM mainframe, after several years away from it. Some of the JCL wasn't working right, all the old JCL books were gone, and most of the people who knew more than I did were retired, dead, or both. I found the solution via a Google search.

A nightmare is watching your children burned alive in front of you. Looking at an advisement is a minor annoyance. Get some perspective, son.
You must not be seeing the same ads I am.
Trump is more honest, believe it or not.
Which shows how scary this election is.

Maybe it would be like post-WW1 Germany. You'd have to pay a billion bitcoins for a $100 ransom.

Once I watched a Gillian's Island rerun, and they'd chopped part of it to make room for the extra ads.

I've even seen shows with partial seasons on NF. Maybe they have Episode 1, 2 ,5 8, and 10. Annoying!

Commercials weren't the only reason I quit going to the movies, but they were the straw that broke this caveman's back.
Also, a lot of people buy their computers at a brick-and-mortar store. You're not going to find Linux at your local BestBuy/Walmart.
I like their choice of name. At least it's more accurate.
I can't decide if Brennan is stupid, or if he thinks everyone else is stupid.
The two aren't mutually exclusive.
How about a graphic of the appropriate finger being extended. :)
Come up with an original app that Apple is less likely to steal and claim as its own.
I don't know about original, but I don't think Apple will steal any of my fart apps.
Ass or Angel?
Yes.
To paraphrase Trump, she could shoot someone in public, and her supporters would still vote for her.

Yeah, until recently, one of my credit card accounts didn't allow special characters. You'd think a bank would do better than that.
