  6. Everyone is making it more complicated than it is on We're No Longer in Smartphone Plateau. We're in the Smartphone Decline. (nymag.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The market is saturated. Phones are good enough and not enough people care about a new camera to justify buying a new one. Smartphones, from any manufacturer, are not status symbols anymore.

    Why do we need article after article to tell us the obvious?

  7. Re:Satellite/cell Internet will replace that as we on It's the Beginning of the End of Satellite TV in the US (qz.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Traditional TV requires a tuner and an antenna and const nothing other than the equipment.

    I used to have satellite tv. Now I have an antenna, Netflix and Prime. I'm thinking about dropping the streaming services as I've more or less stoped using them. It will cost nothing to keep my antenna on the roof.

    Zika was first identified in humans in early 50s. It in was identified in South American in 2007, long before the modified mesquito experiment.

    Any economic growth while deficits and debt continually grow is a sham. It was a sham under Obama and its a sham under Trump.

  14. Re: Rooibos Tea on Decaf Tea Found In The Wild (asianscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    Rooibos is not technically tea as it does not come from a tea plant. Itâ(TM)s brewed like tea, but rooibos is bush unrelated to tea. Its tea like coffee is tea.

  15. Re:Nobel prizes also losing their lustre on Science is Getting Less Bang for Its Buck (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    The Peace prize has little to nothing to do with Nobel prizes in science. Academically, commercially and as a grant-receiving (private or government) indication, a Nobel will set you and your lab up for life.

  18. Is anyone surprised? on Kids' Apps Are Flooded With Ads (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    To preface, I was a dual major in college, chemistry and marketing. Granted this was a few years ago (graduated in 2006), but I remember a class studying marketing and associated laws to various age groups, and childrens ads had the least amount of regulation. There have been efforts, but all have failed so far.

    If I recall, the companies fight against regulation aimed at marketing towards children higher than any other group because they can get a customer for life. There are some regulations on ads aimed at adults (alcohol, cigarettes, gambling in some states, etc.).

    Except at the current, neither is,otherwise you wouldn't have the likes of 4chan and reddit, where you say one thing and you called a cuck and doxed.

    Finally someone snaps does real harm or causes harm to themselves. Thoughts and prayers abound and suicide prevention hotlines are posted, when it wouldn't be needed if people were just nicer to one another online and in real life.

    You can put the phone in lost mode or erase it remotely, but chances are it wonâ(TM)t have a single after being confiscated. They will probably put it a secure room or a faraday bag.

    For Touch ID devices, you press the power button rapidly 5 times. Holding it down just asks you to turn the phone off and doesnâ(TM)t require a passcode after.
