By all indications, Facebook and Google agreed to the same license as everyone else, and the license is anything BUT ambiguous, given that it's subtitled "for in-house, internal use applications" and then only gets more explicit about how it's intended to be used from there. I ran through a lot of the details about the license in a comment yesterday.
Given that Facebook was paying the users, whose to say they can't argue they were 'internal/employed/contracted' users as far as Apple's Terms define them?
I'd argue that they are wrong and in my view are not compliant - but no doubt FB has a small nation army of lawyers to argue the contrary...
The 'unlimited inventory' referred to above isn't about range, it's about stock. Ie they have an infinite number of episode 1 of house of cards, not a limited number of DVDs. Their range is whatever it is, limited or not, but this doesn't have to to with reviews.
When they had DVDs they had to keep physical inventory, and ship physical inventory, so predicting demand was important to their logistics planning.
Now they have unlimited inventory, and shipping is essentially instant and with zero marginal cost - so in that regard, demand prediction is less important.
It's easy to scoff at a cheap car that cut obvious corners and was far behind what we expect for first-world motor vehicle transport that costs an order of magnitude above what millions of people in developing nations can affort...
It takes some mental effort to respect that fact that Tata brought car-based mobility to a new generation of people that otherwise couldn't afford the level of vehicles we enjoy in more developed nations today... it wasn't too long ago (~50 years) that we were driving cars worse in quality and safety than the Nano... and they cost a pretty penny even for first world nations at the time...so why begrudge and scoff at another developing nation's progress on the same path we also walked (albeit earlier)?
Well played - for those that don't know... Apple has already eyed the ad businesses, and went in boots and all - pronouncing a pending revolution in ads - it didn't end well...
OP here, it's true that these monitors are fine. 'Dead' was due to title text limit, as I had originally wanted to use 'unusable'.
Buy a Macbook Pro and you only have USB-C ports for connecting other monitors and peripherals, and Apple currently don't make a 1st party hub. Whilst you can go USB-C -> DisplayPort Alt Mode, this means multiple cables and doesn't solve other peripherals and power. So many people have adopted hubs like Dells D6000 which is actually a pretty great piece of kit, and lets (or used to at least) any USB-C capable machine (Mac/Linux/Win) be plugged in with one cable and get multiple displays, ethernet, usb, headphones and power all from one little plug. It was awesome!
DisplayLink may have started off as a lowly USB display standard, but it now can support multiple 4k displays at 60hz which is pretty impressive, and has been working perfectly fine for quite some time across plenty of different devices and monitors.
OP here, and yes 'dead' has stronger implications than I meant. Truth be told the character limit on the field had me unable to use 'unusable' and so in haste I managed to fit in 'dead' instead. These monitors are not bricked, nor are any DisplayLink hubs, instead all the monitors that worked fine before the update are now dark.
Rolling back MacOS is not necessarily a straight forward process, nor is it practical for dev environments.
You must be pretty forgiving - the keyboard is widely panned, and is very unreliable too https://theoutline.com/post/24...http://bgr.com/2017/10/19/macb...
etc etc
I'm a recidivist MacBook owner, and the Air is the least shit one at the moment. The regular MacBook is laughable, and new MBP has no ports, touchbar wank, and a poor and unreliable keyboard too.
They are not incentivised to fix this, in fact to the contrary, the are incentivised to argue for the authenticity of the data, whilst at the some time working to make it vague and inaccurate. Simply because any crack of light that shows true data is stark and horrific compared to their soft measures designed to look good to ad buyers.
Why are you amazed? The whole point of the waiver program isn't to just let everyone in with no waiver - in fact it's directly the opposite, it lets people apply to be granted easier access to the US - by *declaring and presenting yourself in advance* you are then able to be further vetted by the US through whatever means they wish, and with ample time to do so.
But then again, your third-world comment is particularly telling when it comes to the perspectives you hold.
Not entirely true - ie NZ has it's own direct cables to US via Hawaii, and a few adjuncts along the way that also get us into Asia etc.

Agreed... 'visually' lossless for images is a bit like saying 320kbps MP3s are 'audibly' lossless for music...
Something is either lossless or not, it's a binary...
TFA mentions that the craft was successfully terminated after the test, which I assume means it was somehow destroyed in-flight or directed to the ground/sea in a fatal fashion.
It's incidents like these that we will regret when SKYNET finally rises and calls us to account.
Regions are a horrible, messy, awkward layout model that fundamentally contradicts many of the benefits of HTML layout - particularly for different devices and screen sizes. If you think you need them, just make a PDF already - Adobe already has you covered.
Why not?
For all we know their detection may be bayesian based and still has "learning" to do in the field. Maybe this learning can take place in a matter of days with a sampling size as large as Android's. I think a trade-off of some start-up time in return for a system that can cope better with new attempts to circumvent its detection the better.
FWIW this article is a beat-up - Google have multiple layers to their malware detection, and they've only tested one layer.
Metro *is* indeed innovative, and beautiful, but it's also very fragile. I was immediately taken by it, like you. I think a huge amount of respect must be given to the team that created something so different to everything else out there, whilst still working well.
But sadly, not well enough for me. I found the interface to be too focussed on the zoomed/cropped typography and every app felt to similar and didn't get me thinking in "modes" which I need to do... in many ways it's not a GUI at all... it's a TUI (typographical user interface) and this is ultimately it's downfall... there's definately not enough design vocabulary outside of the type.
And the tiles are easily destroyed with hideous work by 3rd parties...
I know plenty of 'pretenders' designers who claim Wacom and OS X Photoshop with a sense of superiority but are really just cookie cutter wannabe's - yet the best designer I've ever worked with uses a mouse and demands Windows + Photoshop - he runs circles around the others. You know - the old cliches are sometimes true - it's what you do with it that counts / all the gear, no idea etc etc..
Since hiring him I no longer use *any* tool usage as a form of assessment, instead choosing to focus on their actual technique with the tools they use. Which is partly your point, I just don't agree with the apple = better designer myth you continue to propagate...

Perhaps one of the most influential mac games, but this was essentially a curiosity in the wider gaming world of PC and console gaming...
Only a diehard mac fanboy of old would try to argue its massive influence in wider gaming - and I say that is a mac user...

The cynicism is strong with this one.

Eh? MBP doesn't have the ports or a proper reliable keyboard, and the MBA is still thinner/lighter.

But that would stop their ability to lie! ;-)
Nielsen are as shady as the broadcasters, ratings are all one big vague hand-wave by the industry.

It's called Google Device Policy, but it's only been available for Google Apps for Business users

It's great to have a general user option soon, but for those of you with business needs, the option is already there
