There's still a few people posting "M$" and rambling about Sony's rootkited CDs (or whatever it was, I've forgotten the details already). Never underestimate the power or a slashdot grudge.
Haha. Sadly no. Google staggers their update roll outs. My N4 got the Lollipop update in mid February, a week before Samsung sent theirs out. Previous updates were much quicker so I'm starting to think that Google is delaying their updates to not piss off other manufacturers so much.
Yeah. My N4 got it's 5.0.x update a week before Samsung rolled it out to their phones. I think Google has been backing down on quick rollouts to not piss off manufacturers, which is sad to see, but that is the Android way.
So, now that we're all frothing at the mouth and getting our pitchforks, has anyone bothered to check if other smart watches or fitness trackers have same issues or it's only Apple's?
Just curious if this is something endemic to the entire category or only the technology Apple used in their watch.
What music player doesn't support mp4s? You do know that for the past good few years iTunes music has been drm-free right? There are also lots of 3rd party apps that can connect into iTunes for syncing, though, yes, you would still need to spin up your VM and update everything, but that is a choice you made by running *nix. (I assume).
I think even my ancient Rio support mp4 just fine.
Going through my vaccine history was literally the second thing my doctor did when visiting. First thing was asking if I was in good health right now. This was after moving between cities and visiting the doctor for the first time. Their computer system has all my suggested booster shots scheduled until the day I die.
This is going to seem like magic. But imagine this. If you stop posting in and browsing Apple-related stories, then you will start seeing less and less of them over time.
But, alas, then the world would not know how cool you are.
It's fun to make this just bout a cake. But what happens when all on staff nurses/doctors in an ER refuse to help 'the gay' or the local utility company - aka someone with a monopoly - decides that they won't deal with 'them' at all?
What about state/municipal services. It's not too far fetched to think that all the clerks in the whatever-departments-hands-out-business-licenses would refuse a gay person services so that they could start their own gay-friendly bakery.
ISP's should make this an explicit surcharge on people's bill. Something like "fee to store your personal browsing info for eternity, for more info contact your government representative". It's probably the only way to get the general public to pay attention to this
Find a journalist you like and set up a system that you pay them a buck a month? If they are nice they could offer you access to their stories ad-free as a bonus.
Or just use the existing subscription model, just change it from "subscribing" to "financing" and you are employing your favorite organization or reporter.
Agreed. I love the wired version with keypad. Low and flat so it can be comfortably used with wrists on the table and very solid. Doesn't keep the entire house up at night either.

No sir, certainly not. Better not let the family know.

And how many of those tattooed people have their tattoo right on their lower arm/wrist where it would interfere with the watch?
I bet it's a pretty small percentage of the already small(ish) percentage of Apple employees who have tattoos in the first place.
Itunes/apple moved to drm-free music a good five years ago. So, unsurprisingly, the majority of ./ wouldn't have heard of it. :)

Wouldn't this be the perfect Apple TV? Essentially take an iMac, give it a 40-ish inch screen, tuck in the chin a little bit, and call it a day.
Wait, so we are hating on Apple for giving us more options now?

Could this be a way to 'save' newspapers?

What toy OS would carry out shut-down command without confirmation?
Yes, this!
They install FF or Chrome and troll /. all day instead of getting out as fast as they can. :)
Please let me know what hardware maker I should support with my money that pays their 'fair share' of corporate taxes.
(Yes, I am serious)
Except the fun bit is, you're going to have a hard time getting anything covered by warranty unless you use the vendor-provided cable with your phone.
In the same boat with my N4. Glad to hear not being able to use the phone part of a smartphone is considered a 'small defect'.
That's why I always boot straight into DOS and if I'm feeling 'modern' then I fire up the new fancy GUI Windows stuff.
Ah, this again. Please let me know which technology company I should support because they are paying their full share of taxes.
Everyone knows digital only started with the iPhone and Facebook.
(This isn't some dig at Apple and marketing, just people's dumbness/shortsightedness in general)
I'm confused. Isn't Google Pay/Wave a default part of android? Shouldn't the headline simply be '3 wireless carriers don't uninstall an app anymore'?
Being in Canada, I can't say for sure, because Google doesn't want to use it's NFC payment system in a country that is pretty much 90% NFC-able.
