People want larger phones because they are over 40, and their eyesight is crap.
OR
They use their phones for more than one thing at a time.
Personally, I use my Note 3 to draw schematics, and draw engineering details with dimensions. I tried to do that on a 320x240 screen, and you could not read the dimensions.
Here in the UK, many years ago (1970's, I think), there was a TV debate between politicians, and they were asked to explain what the truth is. One of the said outright "the truth is what I say it is!" The others were only marginally better.
That is why you cannot trust a politician.
Politics is derived from:
poly = many
tics = blood sucking parasites.
Democracy is derived from the street observation:
Dem are crazy
Full marks for nit-picking, Null Points for common sense.
Anyone who has not heard of it (clearly at least 90% of the/. users, never mind the rest of the universe),
would assume from the article this is actually a new OS - in the sense that it is not Plan 9, Windows,
Unix, VMS, or WindRiver (OK, I do admin others exist, but you get the point),
not in the sense "Linux with a slightly different theme on top", or "yet another BSD".
Linuxscreenshot fully deserves any tongue-lashing he/she/it gets.
In all probability, people sleeping far too little or far too much are probably already sick. Similarly, people who spend a lot of time sitting may well do so because they have limited ability to exercise due to other health problems.
The medical profession has a problem understanding the difference between correlation and causation, and this is just one example of it.
Interesting? A polite way to suggest 'eccentric' at best and more likely 'anti social' or possibly criminally insane.
While anecdotes are different from statistics:
I met Frank Williams (inventor of the Williams Tube) at Electronic Brokers Ltd in Euston Road, London.
I believe he bought a TU56 Dual DECtape drive that I wanted, but could not afford.
Actually, I could not afford most of the stuff in Electronic Brokers, and presumably no one else could either, which is probably why they went bust.
Proops walk-around store was more fun, but most of their stuff was useless.
In the 1970's we learned a new language every month. Programmers were expected to read the manual - all 10 pages of it - and then start using it.
Currently, you are expected to have five years experience of software released 6 months ago.
In 10 years time, you will be expected to have 50 years experience of a product on the day it is released.
OR...
still be writing PHP5 by throwing virtual cow-pats at the virtual (server) farm on the screen with your Wiimote, as people do today - judging by the quality of most PHP, and the fact that Cobol has lived so long. (Can I say MOO?)
In London, bicycles effectively use about 2MPG of diesel by slowing large numbers of buses and trucks to the position where they are unable to get out of low gear. They are one of the biggest causes of pollution from diesel.
If you got the damn bikes of the road, the diesel vehicles would pollute far less.
And, as for public transport - sure, take your desktop computer, server or laser printer (or even your weekly supermarket shopping) under your arm on London transport in the rush hour. You can post the video on Youtube afterwards.
Didn't you read the article? With crack! (ie by smoking quite a lot of it. It will work as well as most of the rest of their anti-money laundering policies).
To be fair, they have attempted to pretend they thwarted other attacks.
They also claim the data is used to attack organised clime. There is no evidence of success there either.
In fact, there is considerable evidence that they have no idea how to use the data in any meaningful way. Perhaps they should hire the people targetting online adverts to manage the data. Oh, wait...
. I know people think Capitalism is some natural law,
Not sure what you think capitalism actually is, but I would bet a lot of anything that if I spent a few hours making a shovel, I could shovel a heap more shite in the next week than you could with your bare hands.
You might find it worth paying me to shovel your shite, or buy a shovel from me.
You and your mates might, over a period of years, be happy to support me while a build a power shovel, and shovel a load of other stuff too - maybe dig a ditch or two to save the village from flooding when it rains?
Perhaps you are a capitalist after all?
Or do you have another definition of capitalism in mind? - like it is when anyone can buy anything if they can pay for it, regardless of race, sex, or criminal record? Yep, Apartheid and Naziism are not capitalism.

Even Intellectual Property Trolls have the right to plead "not guilty by reason of insanity".
I would support a call for 700 million treason charges.
And we have known this since 1970!

I recommend avoiding this scam: the *BSDs are a good functional replacement a snip at: $0 for the first core, and HALF PRICE for each additional core!

Government?
It is the job of the professional security agencies to lie. It is safe to assume everything they say is a lie, unless proven otherwise!
Hint: 'Arris in England has the same meaning as Azz in USA.

Why? They have machine readable serial numbers already.
That is terrorism by definition.

I suspect some people do not remember using 5 hole paper tape or CDC punched card code.
