I don't think the problem is that people don't want to use it. I think the problem is that people just like the fingerprint sensor more and opted for the lower priced 8 with it than going for the more expensive X that lacks it.
Doesn't China own most of American debt? How's that NOT a national security issue?
No, this is a myth. They only own about 5.5% of it and only 19% ($1.2 of $6.3 trillion) of the overall foreign-owned debt. To put it into perspective Japan also owns about 5.4%.
Wireless technologies have pretty much removed the need for a lot of those products. I mean how many things that relied on a dock are now done with Bluetooth or over WiFi? I'd wager damn near all of them. Apple's influence is still there, it's just not in products made exclusively or mostly exclusively for the Apple ecosystem anymore. For example, most smart home products coming out these days are homekit compatible, along with broader compatibility with other major vendors. There isn't a need to be Apple specific anymore. And that's not necessarily a bad thing for Apple as it gives their users a broader base of gizmos to waste money on.
But if you want to see their influence in action still, just look at wireless charging. Powermat as a standard is done (not that it was exactly winning before, but the final nail has been driven), to the point of having to support Qi in their products deployed to places like Starbucks. And there has been an explosion of Qi compatible accessories since the 8 and X were announced with wireless charging support.
According to their website, the service lets you stream high-resolution games from your PC to your Mac or Windows PC that may or may not have the power to run the games natively.
What, are you new here? This is/., being only a day behind is being 3 days ahead here. It probably was Wednesday when the story was submitted. Feel lucky you aren't reading this on Sunday!
If we can put a man on the moon, surely we can defeat the law of supply and demand!
Sure, just increase demand and you can lower the cost to the individual. Maybe we can develop a gene therapy that give the condition to healthy people then cure them. Boom, cost savings!
Making false police reports like that is typically a crime. If a death occurs while you're committing a crime, it's called felony murder. If they've actually got the guy who made the false report, he's going to prison for the rest of his life.
Yea, that's what I just said captain redundant. Except it's not while "committing a crime", it's while committing a felony. And in Kansas it's limited to "inherently dangerous" felonies. Inherently dangerous felonies are defined in law (not taking time to look it up) so this may or may not apply to him.
/. lag being what it is, there are a lot of updates for this. So a suspect has already been arrested. He's a serial swatter/bomb hoaxer and was the one who took credit for the FCC bomb hoax. I'm guessing they were already looking at him and building a case for that when this incident happened, so that's why they were able to scoop him up so fast.
The LAPD took Tyler Barriss of Los Angeles into custody in that city on Friday afternoon, on a fugitive warrant stemming from the Thursday evening incident in Kansas, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department said.
Yea he's already been arrested by LAPD (/. lag at it's finest). He's a serial swatter, bomb hoaxer. The same one who plead guilty two years ago to a bomb hoax, and the one who took credit for the FCC bomb threat recently so he was probably already the subject of an active investigation (which is why they were able to scoop him up so fast).
As for murder, if swatting is a felony in Kansas (believe it or not, it's not always depending on the state) and Kansas has a felony murder rule then yea, he can be charged with murder in the death.
Also the theater gets to take their operating costs, the "House Nut" (their term, go google it), from the gross receipts before the split is calculated. So the studio gets a cut of the net profits, not total ticket sales.
AT&T is trying to buy Time Warner the media company (Warner Brothers Studios, Turner Broadcasting, HBO, etc), not Time Warner Cable (TWC) the cable company which Charter already bought.
Just putting it out there before the inevitable posts about AT&T buying another ISP.
Only the ISP has the information tying the IP address to a specific household, and ISPs do not voluntarily provide this information to copyright trolls (though I'd be more worried if your ISP is also a content owner, ala Comcast). All they do is forward along the threatening letters from the troll to the customer.
Are you daft? Media companies can, and more importantly, HAVE compelled this information through the courts. Again, have you all forgotten the RIAA lawsuits against end users already?
I stand by my original statement. If you are torrenting in the clear you are at risk of more than a DMCA notice forwarded from your ISP. Or have we all forgotten the RIAA end-user lawsuits already? That's still a legal possibility if some studio decides they've had enough. Unlike streaming or that method we don't talk about, torrenting opens you up to being targeted as a distributor and that has some hefty financial pain behind it. Just because they haven't done it yet doesn't mean they won't. Only a fool would operate under that assumption.
And just because you didn't get a letter doesn't mean some content protection company didn't track and log your torrent activity. It just means they didn't get paid to send you one. yet.

Don't buy hardware that doesn't adhere to established, working standard: 3.5mm jack.
Fixed that for you. USB and USB-C are not fucking standard audio connectors and manufacturers can screw off trying to make them become one.
The new price is $12.99/month if anyone was wondering.

Santana, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Boston, Led Zeppelin, Van Morrison, among many others.
I'd consider most of those falling into the Rock category, not pop. 70's Pop would be more Jackson 5 or the Osmonds.
The test is to ensure that the production system is working, so putting it on a full test system would make the test meaningless.

I have an "older" Broadwell 14 Core Xeon and that thing kicks the ass of 99% of any "newer" chips. Performance drop or not.
But I bet it's still older than chips made in 2017
I am sorry but how is 2015 called old? Most of 2015 was barely 2 years ago.
" older" is the word they used, not "old". Are you of the belief that something from 2015 is not older than something from 2017?

Probably supply vs demand. Either there isn't much demand for it, or it's way too easy to get from other sources to be valuable.

Well based on the recent story of the Blockchain Tea company, maybe if they change the name to blockchain coin it will soar again....

Jeff Bozo, who owns Amazon, also owns the NYT - or as Trump says "Fake News"...

The snow falls of the roof just fine, it's not accumulating to the point of a collapse. So the problem isn't the roof.
The problem is people are pedestrianing all wrong.

This sounds like some grand plan to cut down on the hetro male population so you can get a date.
