For you Linux desktop and laptop users out there, you probably already know about Redshift. Automatically and gradually changes your screen brightness and hue based on lat / long and time of day.
Have been using it for over five years now and it's amazing how much more relaxed I feel at night. Or, more succinctly, how much less my eyes bleed.
Telemetry isn't exclusive to Microsoft. Debian Linux has been doing telemetry since, uh, well since I started using it, in 1999 or 2000. True, it's completely optional and it asks you during installation if you'd like to participate. But somehow, because you can optout easily, its ok that Linux does Telemetry. Talk about double standard.
Did you just equate popcon to Microsoft Telemetry?
Further advantages of watching content locally, either ripped or on physical media:
1. You're not relying on your Internet connection being available and able to keep up for the duration of the movie. 2. You're not at the mercy of the content provider deciding to close up shop, update their T&C or just block you for an arbitrary reson. 3. You're not a data point. The only one who knows what you're watching and how often is you and anyone you care to share it with.
The word "courage" when applied to Apple means much the same as describing people in our community as "gifted" or "special".
For example, the decision to not release a Mac Mini or MacBook Pro that could take more than 16 GB RAM in 2016 was a very courageous move. As is sticking a fork in a power socket and licking it.
Now that SJWs have successfully lobbied to redefine marriage as two or more entities, living or dead, hooking up and exchanging rings then it's no problem to include robots!
That's nice, but searchable and discoverable are two very different things.
Searchable is fine if you know exactly what you're looking for by name. A discoverable menu system was a big selling point to get people off command-driven interfaces in the first place.
No, but the goal is certainly zero easily avoidable accidents.
If your self-driving car runs over a group of ducklings crossing in front of my house because its AI didn't evaluate stopping as a priority, then that car is unlikely to reach its destination.
Another reason why proponents of self-driving vehicles are kidding themselves.
Driving safely, courteously and responsibly involves far too many variables for a frickin AI to cope with, especially considering that lives are at stake. Keep piling on the rules, exceptions and priority overrides and you'll soon get spaghetti code that is impossible to audit deterministically and behaviour becomes unpredictable.
Granted there are certainly many humans who drive and shouldn't, but replacing them with robots is not the answer.
Yes, but burying evidence of the Holocaust is in the interests of two fairly powerful groups that are otherwise diametrically opposed - white supremacists and muslims.
Muslims, who are for the most part raised to believe that Jews are evil incarnate and must be wiped from the face of the Earth, of course want them to get as little sympathy as possible.
It still doesn't support any useful options, for example the ability to globally set Rendering Quality to "medium" or "low" so the obscene super-sampling algorithm doesn't bring a modern system to its knees..
Yes, and we can change the speed of light ourselves by changing the medium through which it passes. We can even observe particles travelling faster than light within a medium. See Cherenkov radiation for an example of this.
Of course, that has nothing to do with c, which is defined as the speed of light in a vacuum, but interesting nonetheless.

No, it really wasn't.

Perhaps this Brexit caper isn't so bad after all!
Have you people never heard of Clonezilla?
The underlying issue needs to be sacked by the board of directors, but Apple is too courageous for that.
So, by your logic, if Manning is ever asked "what is your sex?" the correct answer will always be "Male". Do you agree?
I'd sure like to meet him. Good old Al.

Really?

Or made the fatal mistake of connecting a television set to the Internet in the first place.
I don't recall activating my new Android tablet, whatever that means.
Where do I sign up?

Indeed. I seem to recall the Iraqi Information Minister being a popular source of amusement and target for ridicule here in 2003.

Not gonna happen.
Trump has set himself up with the best possible defence strategy:
Mike Pence next in line.
Get ready to shit your pants:
Barack Obama has the power to do that. Right. Now.
