This will be used to make those "Your machine is infected" ads look even better for non-tech people to fall for. Anything browser related should be clearly in the browser!
I predict a significant rise in the number of Zombie machines owned by various botnets in the near future...
Since Chrome is doing it, Chromefox will of course slavishly copy it. While Google will eventually realise that people need this like they need a hole in the head and back out the change, Mozilla will keep it in there.
if that happens... then its opera only for me from that point on...
I rarely use chrome... my go to browser is firefox and it has been for a long time... Sometimes I use Opera but very rarely do I use Chrome, Safari, IE or Edge.
Well you will want what is trendy, not what you need... and since Apple decides what is trendy,
then Apple will decide what you get, even when you buy an Android phone!
We are already at the point where you can almost ONLY buy phones that are build according to the current trends and fads!
Screw technology, screw usefullness, screw everything that is not about being stupid and fashionable!
Have the front camera slide out from the top edge when in use.
exactly... same solution could be used for stuff like the speaker etc... a simple solution that the "Apple Geniuses" should have seen a mile away... on the other hand... if they had, they would have patented it thus preventing others from using it...
good thing this feature CAN be found on certain android handsets
Apple? What's Apple? Is it a toy company for aging hipsters?
It is that fruity company that has waaay to much control over the products made by their competition.
It makes me physically sick that all android manufactures suddently has to make ALL their models look like the iPhoneX, even models where the notch is purely cosmetic... it really is stupidity sublime!
I could maybe forgive that a cheap chinese phone with very low specs and very low price did this, afterall it would be an optimal phone for iPhoneX wannebe owners to buy if they did not have the money for the real deal and they would then be able to pretend to be owners of an iPhoneX... but Samsung, LG etc? and on their flagships??? these are phones that more often than not are in the same pricerange....
why the hell would anyone WANT to buy a fake iPhoneX for around the same price as the real iPhoneX, assuming that the iPhoneX is want they want?
it would seem that in an insane tech world, an AMD is the only thing that makes sense:-)
joking aside, despite their trusted platform crap, AMD is the best choice as things currently stand... if AMD want to secure their position as the next leading CPU manufacturer from now on, they need to drop trusted platform and similar backdoor tech right now... they have an unprecidentet chance here... even if intel followed suit, AMD would still have been the first ones to do it and at a time where they already had wind in their sails... One has to wonder, are they not removing those backdoors because they are being forced to do it? the new US laws should protect them from any requests from the NSA or others...
You are still better off with AMD...
1) intel chips have way more vulnerabilities than AMD chips
2) intels ME backdoor has been discovered, AMD's trusted platform is yet to be exposed
In 2 years a $400 computer will be better than yours.
Just sayin'.
Well... we are at a point where physical limitations have already killed Moore's Law... The reason we see little to no improvements from one CPU generation to the next, is that intel, AMD and others are trying to strech the last possible speed increases as long as possible to ensure income untill something is ready to take over from silicon.
My computer is 2 years old, it is not a particular expensive computer but still a top of the line gamer computer for its time... it packs 32 GB of memory, GTX1080 and an i6700K... it is still among the best gaming rigs and any game I throw at it works perfectly.
I suspect this computer will serve me well enough for gaming untill something truly amazing can take over from silicon based computers..
Really long in this case. There is no sunlight to break it down. Only a volcanic or a chemical reaction could do the deed at the depth, and the sparse marine life if it's unlucky.
Maybe the bag was from a crashed airplane! Conspiracy theorists: GO!
Ok.... Let's see....
The airplane was removed by the aliens allied with the illuminati so that we would not guess that the bag was from a secret illuminati aircraft. All this is just a cover up to hide the fact that the aircraft was a disguised weather ballon similar to the one from roswell. And that is a cover up to hide the fact that the illuminati is trying to make everybody think that the price of plastic bags should go up in order for them to secretly earn extra cash by selling more expensive plastic bags with pictures of aliens on them in a shop in Roswell, New Mexico:-)
Or so I've heard...;-)
are you sure? if it was green with a yellow flower on it, then I am pretty sure it is a european bag. On the other hand if it had a picture of Trump then it is clearly an american bag:-)
Well as long as you... DON'T PANIC!
while I read you my epic Vogon poem....
Oh garbled rattlecage of disturbed eons of accellerated particles.
How you have forsaken me and my towels.
My planet dweller of tea sippers wears slippers on days with green earwax of the ages of camelot.
Go now and may be gold of a hearth of a blue whale of yesterday gaurd your track from flies.
Despite my pudding I gave to you my spoon with nose.
Danger from gone is now at bay from the other galaxy at night.
My ear as soft as steel while eating pudding with bread,
My pudding hard as wood while looking at you,
See if I don't (I might)
All will be well when Apple releases a quantum photonic analog phone thus proving they invented it.
Of course:-)
It is a well know fact that Apple did indeed invent everything.... all that has been invented or will be invented in the future....
The genereous American Patent office might as well just hand them a universal patent and close up shop:-)
I guess you're forgetting that Samsung, back in March 2016, released the S7 Edge. It's as thin as the iPhone X (7.7mm), it has a headphone jack - and it's IP68 rated. That kind of technology is normal. Only Apple couldn't figure out how to do that magical combination of thin, headphone jack, and IP68 rating.
Exactly and in April 2014, Samsung released a phone, that had waterproofing, minijack AND removeable batteries...
The REAL reason Apple, Samsung and other are hellbent on stupid trends like non-removeable batteries, removing minijack and other user hostile moves... is that they want to maximize profit and their excuses are accepted by most because they do not sit down and use just 5 minutes with a search engine. If they did, they would discover that all the excuses from Apple, Samsung and others are lies....
Sadly most people do not realise this stuff and this is why we are where we are now... in technological hell!

And if I make the browser window full screen?
Three little words: Always on Top.
let me guess... its what she said yesterday? :-)

exactly... Apple has shifted the focus of the entire smartphone from business + tech + usefullness to fashion + trendy + stupidity

Funny how Jobs is credited for anything remotely IT related these days...

Yeah, I keep finding crashed planes underwater, just not the one in particular I want.
It's hard to go shopped on the second hand market these days... did any of the planes have plastic bags in them? Maybe some towels?
Well, at least it was an *American* bag!
are you sure? if it was green with a yellow flower on it, then I am pretty sure it is a european bag. On the other hand if it had a picture of Trump then it is clearly an american bag :-)
so THAT's were I left it...
Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so.
Also, Towel day is just around the corner!
