I paid for the phone outright. Not on some payment plan locked to a vendor who will charge me an arm and a leg for service. It was cheaper in the long run to do this vs go with ATT/VZ/SPrint
I can choose to upgrade or I can stay with the current phone. 2-3 years is the length the phone batteries last, screen gets scratched to shit, device gets wonky. A hardware refresh keeps me uptodate and I got my money's worth out of the device.
One thing I will give Apple is that they will take technology that is mostly mature, fix lots of bugs and kinks, then roll it out and proclaim it "New! Exciting! So Pleased to show you!"
Yes Premium Android Smartphones have had everything that the Iphone8 will have for years. Apple will bring that capability to the masses and then the fleet of android handset manufacturers will push those features out till every single phone has it.
Get all the perks of the latest phone with all the bug ironed out. Still riding out a 6s until the 8s rolls through. 2-3 years for a phone is about right for me. No need to upgrade immediately as apple rarely does anything earth shattering in their phones any more.
Why should I be someone's guinea pig for new features when this phone meets 99% of my needs.
both melted down this weekend. Good. Never buy a toshiba hard drive, any overheating and they cook faster than a radiated cockroach during a thermonuclear holocaust. That and their warranty sucks nuts too.
When I worked at UPS all the driver's routes were built specifically to avoid left turns at all possible for all the above reasons. This is not a new concept, this is old UPS delivery tactics now brought to the forefront because of the use of tracking and analytics. It's a fluff piece for UPS that's all.
I bet if you talked to folks who worked there longer you'd find that they've all been doing this for the whole time they've been driving .
That site was one of the best places to go for company meltdowns, layoffs, rumors of acquisitions, malfeasance, and other shenanigans. There's nothing like it nowadays.
You want to learn the facts and the truth, do your own research. You want to see all sides of the story you can't trust ANY big company regardless of how hands off they are with any of their web browsers.
No one is truthful, everyone lies. Seek the truth yourself and make an informed opinion on what you read on various sites.
seriously, I'm astoundingly impressed that this magnitude of data can bring an entire country's infrastructure to it's knees. The power that this botnet has is unprecedented, this is a digital Godzilla (DigiZilla?) running rampant on the streets of LIberia with the only defense some antiquated machine guns.
I'm not condoning this by any stretch of the means but I damn sure am amazed from a spectator's point of view./hope they catch these guys//electrocute them with cattle prods///then toss them in a shark tank////PPV $99.99 make it happen
Apple Market Share: 3-5% Windows Market Share: 90% Everything else: Math%
Google wants to put as much pressure on MS to get them to fix the problem as quickly as possible as this vulnerability affects the largest market share of Google's Product.
We all know all those windows users will blame Chrome for infecting their machine Because Reasons(TM) so let Google force MS into fixing this issue ASAP.
Apple's vulnerability? Who cares, it affects a microcosm of Google's user base.
Get rid of the ridiculous cable boxes. The TV's we have now are a bajillion times more powerful than the ridiculous set top boxes. Why in the world would we need a DVR with the ability to stream shows. If the networks were smart they would just flag shows that people want to watch and when they finally want to view them start the stream.
That would require some engineering and know how to do. This would cost money, which of course, the cable companies don't want to spend.
and the windmills are wayyyy off the coast near the lighthouse. They are not block anyone's view of anything. Gorgeous looking structures. Massive things. they will certainly save Block Island a metric fuckton of money on power as BI is the most expensive power consumer in the US. The damn island imports mountains of diesel fuel to power generators FFS. That style went out in the 60s.
Now if the cranky bastards who mandate that every house looks like Amnity out of Jaws and would let people put Solar Panels up on their houses this wouldn't be so bad, but the fuckers who say "OH THIS MUST BE HISTORIC LOOKING!" refuse to let any innovation come to the island. People can't have Sat dishes on their roof, has to be on the side of the house buried. Want internet? EL OH EL DSL 5/1 at a staggering amount of cash.
Block Island is pretty but it's technologically backwards. If only they'd have more cell towers as Cell phone service is GREAT and you can get 4G/LTE everywhere, now let me use 4G/LTE as full blown internet there phone carriers. It's make the curmudgeon town council happy that no more wires would have to be run to their drab and dull looking houses./would buy a house there//rent it for the summer///live in the winter////Blue Pottery Coffee cups are the bomb.
Read that again. read it good. That is insane to purchase the mammoth company that is yahoo to increase the activity of AMERICAN ONLINE. Jesus Tap Dancing christ M. Myers should never get into a management position ever again if the best hope for your company is to be a feeder into AOL...

Open that vault of money you've been sitting on Intel. That'll shock the market right away and steal that thunder from AMD.
Until then why should a user get less cores for more money?

Hope they all burn, now give me my damn RMA

Even more reason to toss your Iphone 5 in the trash and get an Iphone X.
Continues onward.

I heard that was the place for all in home assistance of value. That's what I'm told...by my friend.

You are Wrong and Poor and Not Worthy of Apple Product and Must Be A Android User Peon Plebe Heathen.
I think I covered all the bases on that.
been happening for ages in a microcosm scale.
CLICK FOR MOAR!
Wish I had mod points for this comment.
and they can close off all the ports completely. let me take the phone under water and all that hoopla about removing the jack will be worth it.

till the Japanese launch the SDF-1 with the Rick Hunter Limited Ultra 2k99 Edition AI.
Then we can only pray Godzilla comes to save us.
