  1. Volatile unbacked currency is volatile! on Bitcoin Plummets Below $3,000 on Rising China Worries (ft.com) · · Score: 1

    news at 11 I guess....

  2. Been long speculated that Apple will at some point move from Intel to their own CPUs for at least some of their mobile computer line.

  3. Re:The varnish is off on Every Major Advertising Group Is Blasting Apple for Blocking Cookies in the Safari Browser (adweek.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Anyone. Anyone could have predicted that...

  4. Reasonable explanation, but... on Apple Explains Face ID On-stage Failure (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I still don't want the feature. It seems intrinsically unsecure compared with other biometric options. Frankly, not seen a reason to upgrade from my iPhone 6+ yet. I like the edge to edge display, but not at that price point and size. I'd be more interested in something smaller than my current phone but with the same size screen.

  5. Re:Trump will fix this. on In a Highly Unusual Move, FTC Confirms It Is Investigating Equifax (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    He'll fix it like you fix a cat.

  6. Re:Suing "Trump Administration" on Trump Administration Sued Over Phone Searches at US Borders (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What does this have to do with Trump Administration, is the Donald searching these phones personally? Is DHS doing something they have never done before solely on orders from Trump? I guess you gotta put 'Trump' in the headline for them clicks

    Gonna go with ICE and DHS being under the Executive branch of the government, of which Trump is the titular head?

  7. Correlation does not equal causation. on Rotten Tomatoes Scores Don't Correlate To Box Office Success or Woes, Research Shows (polygon.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Perhaps the Rotten Tomatoes score is low, because the movie is bad, and that's why your box office sales are poor.

  8. True... but so what? on Android Always Beats the iPhone To New Features, Qualcomm Says (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Am I the only one who is kind of tired of feature creep and the constant upgrade treadmill?

  9. Re:I want a price comparison site in my Google res on Google Challenges Record EU Antitrust Fine in Court (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    How many people said they only wanted to see results from companies that paid Google to be placed there?

  10. Re:Slashdot fell for it, hook, line, and sinker on Hundreds of AT&T Wireless Workers and Supporters Plan To Protest at iPhone 8 Launch at Apple HQ · · Score: 1

    If they protested at AT&T, no one would notice.

  11. Ok... and? on APFS Is Not Optional (apple.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Someone able to explain why this is bad... or good... or whatever the point of this posting is?

  12. Facebook camera in your house... on It Looks Like Facebook Is Also Building a Smart Speaker With Touch Screen (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Seems like a bad idea, if I want nude pics of myself posted to Facebook I'll do it myself.

  13. FCC defines broadband as 30Mb or better. So by definition, DSL, satellite and wireless are not competition.

  14. Re:More of that small, local govt freedom on Virginia 'Broadband Deployment Act' Would Kill Municipal Broadband Deployment (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    It's weird that they have to keep passing laws and increase the size of enforcement agencies in the pursuit of smaller government.

  15. Re:how the fuck is that streaming on Dish's New AirTV Set-Top Box Does Over-the-Air and 4K Streaming (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a TV Android box, with an optional antenna. The 99$ version has to be hooked to ethernet.

  16. One less source of LinkedIn spam. on LinkedIn Blocked By Russian Government (pcworld.com) · · Score: 2

    Now if only China would do the same.

  17. Re:So much for Kremlin doing the Hacking on Russian Banks Floored by Withering DDoS Attacks (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Did you know that more than one person/group can initiate a DDoS attack? S'truth!

  18. I call top bunk at the reeducation camp! Kidding... but I still call it.

  19. Is Human Contact some sort of app? on Apple CEO Tim Cook On Virtual Reality: There's No Substitute For Human Contact (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Can't find it on iTunes.... is it Android?

  20. 26 reported incidents, 12 of which are confirmed as false. This is not the same thing as saying all 26 are false like the title claims.

  21. Re:I keep dreaming of the day on Netflix Has Twice As Many US Subscribers As Comcast (allflicks.net) · · Score: 1

    SlingTV or Playstation Vue seem to have ample sports & news options... Been using the former for awhile now, and while it's not without issues, for the price it seems to be a good option.

  22. Cell phones are not private, by design. on Your Phone Number Is All a Hacker Needs To Read Texts, Listen To Calls and Track You (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Not sure why this is shocking to anyone. The only way cellphones work is be broadcasting who they are to everyone listening.

  23. Coulda just connected to any of the various wifi hot-spots all the hotels etc have over there with built in VPN!

  24. Sounds good. on California's $15-an-Hour Minimum Wage May Spur Automation (computerworld.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The goal of any advanced civilization should be 100% unemployment and automation.

  25. Re:Good to hear. on The Law Is Clear: the FBI Cannot Make Apple Rewrite Its OS (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    They wouldn't need to stop using Apple products, they would just use encryption on top of it. Even if the iPhone is 100% unsecure, all that means is that there is nothing blocking access to the contents. The contents can still be encrypted, there are dozens of encrypted communication apps out there already.
