  1. Re:Google/NSA's spying isn't enough on Asian citiz on Google's 'FASTER' 9000km, 60Tbps Transpacific Fiber Optics Cable Completed (9to5google.com) · · Score: 2

    Google has only one product and that is you the user.

  2. Re:Houston and Detroit... on Leaked Docs Provide An Unprecedented Look At Income Of Uber Drivers (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Are there any outlying suburbs left in Detroit? I remember reading a while back that the city wanted to shrink the footprint and was bulldozing entire neighborhoods that only had a few families living in them to do so.

  3. Re:And nothing for rest of America. on Google Fiber To Acquire Gigabit Internet Provider Webpass (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    Yeah but it's Google's playground...

    He probably has not even tried it because, you know Microsoft and all...

  5. Typical Millennial thinking that cells phones *always* existed...

    Or he still lives with his parents and pays no rent/food. Quite possible.

  7. Re:Oops, sorry about burning down your village on Microsoft Mistakenly Sold Fallout 4 For Free On Xbox (polygon.com) · · Score: 1

    I like the idea that people are intelligent, moral beings.

    However they aren't. They are more than happy to take advantage of even the slightest error. No matter how you slice it.

    Fixed it for you.

  8. Microsoft is rumored to be working on a Surface Phone and HP already showed off the X3 http://store.hp.com/us/en/ContentView?storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&eSpotName=Elite-x3/ so there are possibilities with the dockable phones soon.

  9. Re:Why is this a surprise ? on Police Are Filing Warrants For Android's Vast Store Of Location Data (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    First Google dropped the "do no evil" motto years ago publicly.

    Second I find ironic that scores of /. users are screaming about Windows 10 being spyware and yet happily use Google software and still believe this motto.

    Blasphemy!! this is /. personal assumptions are the only real truth.

  12. Please don't learn to code... on American Schools Teaching Kids To Code All Wrong (qz.com) · · Score: 4, Informative
  13. But desktop is synonymous with business and that is where MS makes it's money. And since Linux and or Mac will *always* be a niche market when it come to business desktops I'd say they are still the big fish.

    Consumer content devices not so much.

  14. What Google is really saying... on Google Bans Ads For Payday Loans (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Google has decided it doesn't want to promote predatory lending practices that are harmful to it's product.

  15. Re:That's all they know. on Microsoft Limits Cortana Search Box In Windows 10 To Bing and Edge Only (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    And Google is different how? Remember with Google unless you are a paying customer you are the product and they make money from you.

  16. Makes complete business sense on Microsoft, Google Agree To Stop Complaining To Regulators About Each Other (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    By solving the issues internally regulators don't get to see the details and thus they fail to create or impose more regulations against the companies. My friends father is part of a regulatory committee in his industry and the majority of new regulations come from disputes.

  17. Re:Asinine on Hackers Leak List of FBI Employees (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Two wrongs don't make a right it just hurts both sides in the end.

    Wait a minute here... when did cars actually start cleaning themselves?

  19. Re:fuck you microsoft! on Windows 10 Now a 'Recommended Update' For Windows 7 and 8.1 Users (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    You realize that your cell phone is based on a subscription model don't you? Unless you pay someone for some kind of connectivity it is pretty useless as a phone. And yet you have no issues with that....

  22. Re:Can a corporate security officer comment on Microsoft Has Your Encryption Key If You Use Windows 10 (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    Considering that large companies probably will disable this feature using a gpo (being able to add and or log in using a Microsoft account) it's probably not even an opinion worth asking.

  23. Re:Gotta be careful on HIV Dating Company Accuses Researchers of Hacking Database (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    No it is not a crime not to report violations, not yet anyway. However the fact that the OP failed to report the violations is also part of the problem.

  24. Re:Why would Disney do this? on Disney IT Workers Prepare To Sue Over Foreign Replacements (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    The current corporate belief is that they have no duty or obligation to their employees

    Based on the recent hires in our company the same could be said for the employees about a company. Lets face it both sides of the fence are to blame for the mess that is the current IT industry.

  25. Re:Oh come on on Controversy Over High-Tech Brooms Sweeps Through Sport of Curling · · Score: 1

    I would bet that previously as new clubs allowed people to drive further, they just made bigger golf courses

    That is what is happening right now most of the PGA sanctioned courses have over the last decade been modifying lesser difficulty holes to be either longer, more strategic with hazard placement or redesigning the green area.
