  1. Yelp's days are numbered on Google Rival Yelp Claims Search Giant Broke Promise Made to Regulators (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Yelp must be complaining because it knows its days are numbered. If the 2012 agreement only lasts through 2017, then what happens in a few months? Google will steal *ALL* of Yelp's assets, and probably introduce their own product to put Yelp out of business.

  2. Re:Oh Please! on Apple Suffers 'Major iPhone X Leak' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...or maybe the leak drives focus AWAY from a CEO who is not as good at showmanship as the previous CEO. Honestly, It's only 1 day before the scheduled announcement. It's not enough time to allow any competitor to develop a competing product. After Tuesday, who cares if there was a leak? Everyone will know about the new products and features anyway.

  3. Re:Put them out of bussiness on Government Officials Begin Investigating Equifax Breach (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    So 143 million people should move to Indiana?

  4. Wait a minute... on Neural Networks Can Auto-Generate Reviews That Fool Humans (arxiv.org) · · Score: 1

    If yelp reviews can be generated by AI, can slashdot stories be far behind?

    They can't use tabs, they have to use spaces.

  6. Desktop Linux or Android? on Linux.com Raves About New Snap-Centric 'Nitrux' Distro (linux.com) · · Score: 1

    What's with the Android apps in that screenshot? Is this a desktop linux distro, or an android os?

  7. oxymoron on AI Can Detect Sexual Orientation Based On Person's Photo (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    "The paper went on to discuss how this capability can be an invasion of privacy, and conjectured that other types of personal information might be detectable from photos."

    Any information that can be gleaned from a public photo is public, and has no expectation of privacy.

  8. It's got what plants crave.

  9. Re:Good news for Lenovo on Google Is Apparently Ready To Buy Smartphone Maker HTC (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    If lenovo keeps eating up all the phone manufacturers, then that would be bad for competition. Comcast would probably buy it.

  10. Re:Newflash: Happy music makes you happy! on Happy Music Boosts Brain's Creativity, Study Says (newscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're heartbroken, even filing your taxes can make you feel better. How about people who aren't flooded with emotions from a break-up?

  11. Re:Boobtube on TV Turns 90 (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I have to keep reminding my father that Televisions don't have any tubes in them anymore. Maybe he figures that eventually they will use carbon nanotubes, and his joke will have meaning again, but I kinda doubt it.

  12. Re:It's Dietary Plastic Week on Slashdot! on Plastic Fibers Found In 83 Percent of World's Tap Water, Study Reveals (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    It will probably be "Child eats hot dog, poops fidget spinner!"

  13. Google sent her SEVERAL emails and left SEVERAL voice messages, and she claimed she didn't see them. WTF? I mean, seriously, who signs up for Google fiber with a Yahoo email account?

  14. Or are just BOTS.

  15. If you like the strength and durability of Thinkpads, show it by having BIG MUSCLES!

  16. Re: So...aside from technology... on Boston Red Sox Used Apple Watches To Steal Hand Signals From Yankees (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    OK, so ban Apple watches on all players. But the same effect can be achieved with well placed spotters and signalers in the stands. So then what are you going to do?

  17. Re:This is fine on Binge Watching TV Makes It Less Enjoyable, Study Says (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Results: Control Group - Watch one episode a week for 6 weeks

    Did you like the show? Yes
    Did you like the show more on the 6th episode more than on the first episode? I don't remember.
    What did you think of the subplots? I don't remember.
    Then why did you say you liked the show? Because after viewing just one episode, the next day I could talk about it with my co-workers around the watercooler.

    Results: Binge Group - Watch all 6 episodes consecutively

    Did you like the show more on the 6th episode more than on the first episode? It was interesting to see how the plot and characters progressed.
    What did you think of the subplots? The subplots were woven intricately and with fine precision, which made for a better viewing experience.
    Did you like the show? Meh.

  19. Timely on Near Earth Asteroid 'Florence' Makes a Close Pass (space.com) · · Score: 1

    If this asteroid is classified as a "Potentially Hazardous Object", then why is it being reported two days *AFTER* the pass?

  20. In Mr. Robot, the F.Society group are *NOT* all white males. In fact, it's quite diverse. The company that Elliot works for might be considered less diverse, hiring only younger applicants, and of a certain background, but the name of that company is "EVIL CORP", so I think the point it well made.

  21. It sure does sound like they are preparing to be evil.

  22. The couple bought some glasses on Amazon for viewing the eclipse. When Amazon found out that the glasses wouldn't be safe for that, they issued a recall. Not only that, but the recall notice was in the NATIONAL NEWS! People I know who don't shop on Amazon, or are interested in the eclipse knew about the recall. ***Why didn't the plaintiffs?***

    Summary judgement for the defendant.

  23. I honestly thought a robotic sewing machine would be called SEWER instead of LOWRY.

    There is only ONE reason to avoid shopping at Best Buy: $12 power cord. (I'm totally Serious!)
