  2. I don't look at montly cost, I look at daily on YouTube TV Costs $50 Per Month After Another Price Hike (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    When all these streaming services, I told myself that the max I would spend on any of them $1/day, so about $30/month. Unsurprisingly, I'm not subscribed to any of them anymore. Passive entertainment just isn't worth much more than that.

    Cell phone service gets the $1.50/day treatment.

    The internet is not owned by the United States, therefore we shouldn't have full control of it. No country should.

    Can anyone tell me what all the bow-tie looking symbols are that painted all over the seismometer. It looks like they are on the shield, as well.

  7. Re: Bigger risk, drop in sales on Amazon Finally Admitted To Investors That It Has a Counterfeit Problem (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Some counterfeit stuff is crap. I had a phone case from a well known brand that fell apart in a matter of weeks; it of course was counterfeit. Bought a genuine one after and it lasted the three years I kept my phone.

  11. Re:Americans take corporate dick in the ass on Google Urged the US To Limit Protection for Activist Workers (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I want insurance and healthcare completely disconnected from employment. I don't get my homeowners or car insurance via my employer and neither should health insurance.

    You can already request everything Apple has about you, there isn't much in it. How often you've had a repair done, your login/logour of Apple services, what apps you've downloaded and when, etc.

  15. Re: Greed != good on Streaming TV May Never Again Be as Simple, or as Affordable, as It is Now (sfgate.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Hollywood needs to move on from the superhero genre entirely. It was overdone four years ago.

  16. Re:Isn't that the same as debt? on No Tuition, but You Pay a Percentage of Your Income (if You Find a Job) (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    Debt is usually a fixed payment, the percentage of your income goes up and down based on what your income is.

    So no, not the same.

    I know youre trolling, but im replying anyway. Apple does not use consumer grade flash in their devices.
    Their fastest devices can internally read at close to 900 megabyte/second, and write at about 350 megabyte/second.

  22. Prior to Apple Music streaming existing, you could buy a Spotify subscription via iTunes and it cost either $1 or $2 (I donâ(TM)t recall exactly) more than buying from Spotify directly.
