If Twitter follows Facebook's lead, this means redesigning the interface so more paid content is pushed your way, and it becomes harder to actually follow the people you do care about, or non-paid feeds ("those leeches").

Just weird that people would pay to have these in their home. I'd think Amazon would have had to pay people on the order of a hundred bucks or so a month to get some creepy microphone next to their couches.
More likely, Amazon's eating Microsoft's lunch (remember "Azure"? anyone?) in the UK and the local Microsoft goofs want something to blame for softening demand other than "the other company's product is better".
>> installing Autopilot prevents crashes -- by an astonishing 40 percent...you need a software upgrade that costs thousands of dollars to make it work
This kind of read like: "So...you want the software that shuts off your fuel value during a crash or the one that opens it full on impact. It's a $5K option...your choice, really."
If it's really just a software option, doesn't this sound a lot like the VW software "option" that cheated on emissions tests?

Maybe he had a point, but I could understand how a lot of people in the college might be looking to drive him out, regardless of his IT skills (or lack thereof).
Wait - we still have an antitrust agency? I haven't heard much from it during the past few decades.

Clearly, my current choice of browser is illegitimate. I will uninstall it at once and reinstall the bland one that lies about blocking corporate advertising instead.
Because where I work, there's already competition and dick-waggling ("well, I'm a DIRECTOR") among the five electric car owners to score the four available electric spots.
I've got kids and meetings and places to be. I don't have the time or patience for the hassle of fighting for a spot and babysitting my car, so my entry into the fully electric car market will probably have to wait until recharging is as convenient as the five minutes a week I spend refueling my (somewhat fuel efficient) gas-powered car.

But not to underground cities. Clearly, this policy discriminates against Balrogs and Orcs on a racial basis.

That had nothing to do with her inability to thwart complete penetration.
That's why I asked. :)

The article suggests only 1.8, but will this also be pushed to 1.6 and 1.7 too?
Way off topic, but since there's no fun inauguration thread yet:
Why did Hillary dress up as Director Krennic for the inauguration?

Fun to see public USBs rise in popularity with credit card skimmers. At least we're all smart enough to use USB condoms, right?

Right, FIREFOX is the browser. No one except for a few nerds who geek out on browser agents give two shits about what "Mozilla" is.

Good point on Corona. I'd be happy to append my question to "does this mean that cross-platform mobile development tools like Xamarin and Corona won?"
