Totally different in the uk. Best deal I've seen for 4g data is 1 gig for £10, 2 for £12, something like that. Home broadband is unlimited 2-20 megs for around £20 (including the phone line, so this'll sometimes include some/all of your phone calls too, and including a shitty router). There's no way I could afford to live on mobile data along.
Well, Google, you're in the best position to make that happen. Allow your update process to update stuff like the libraries which had the stagefright problem to get updated by yourselves and not require the manufacturers to do it, because you know better than we do how bad they are at it. And have a word with Samsung, who tell you they'll provide major updates to Android for 18 months and then simply refuse to to it.
Or is this just a ploy to get people to buy from your increasingly bad value for money Nexus range?
I couldn't really care less about the local damage caused by nuclear weapons. It's the fact that they kill or cause birth defects hundreds or thousands of miles away for decades afterwards.
It might have helped him. What's the difference between falling onto you head and being accelerated into something from a motorbike? I'd imagine they are very similar.
Isn't messenger opt in? I've never got any spam/"wrong numbers" etc. If only there was a similar, sensible system for phone calls. Like a global VoIP standard with a single directory.
No, they wouldn't be active users. Rooting your phone is overkill ; just disable it and untick the notifications box and you'll suffer no data/battery penalty.
This is about active users, and excludes people who simply have it installed. It's preinstalled because Facebook/messenger is the main reason many people bought a phone in the first place.
There are costs in communication not being encrypted. And the public have decided they're happy not being spied on as WhatsApp has a billion users and I don't see any of them uninstalling it now in disgust.
Just like with phones, thin means they're not using space which would allow for a more powerful battery. You'd have to be an idiot to not see that a thicker, and therefore stronger and more useful device is better than an unnecessarily thin one.
Standing desks. They're going to be pretty cheap in a few years; around the same time hipsters realise their stupid hairstyles are as dated and embarrassing as mullets.
DAB solved the problem how "how can I sell a radio for £150 which gives me far fewer stations than an FM radio with worse sound quality". They're bringing this marketing triumph to the masses through the miracle of smartphones.
Yeah, but there's also a lot of great stuff on youtube that exists nowhere else or is not free elsewhere. Sometimes it's worth the pain of an ad...and I hate ads! I'd rather look at an error message for a few seconds than an ad, if that's the choice.
If i saw something that was a pale, derivative version of something else I'd already seen, sure. The Monkeys/Oasis, John Williams, Tracey Emin... no point. Get the originals.
Looks really boring to me. Backdrop, largely flat, empty playing area and the odd humanoid running towards you. Wasn't the point of the FPS games generally loads of bad guys, multi-player and a sense of claustraphobia? Plus being dark meant you imagined rather than saw generally rather full graphics? This is awful; was it ever impressive?
> How do you think people react when Sony, who ships far less units than Apple will react?
Why are you speculating about some possible future event? We're talking about the exact opposite; Sony abandoning the proprietary sockets they're already using. I doubt sony cares about people whining on the internet. Anyone remotely involved with the internet in any capacity will be well aware that along with a handful of people writing apps, designing sites and making products there are millions of people who do nothing but vent their loud, pointless views over and over at every opportunity. If there's money in it, companies will sell it.
It's been going pretty well so far. Sometimes I use google search by mistake and see search history from ages ago. I don't use email much, and I use firefox instead of chrome, so despite using android on 3 devices I don't think google is getting very much out of me.

So the law must allow encryption then we don't have a problem.

Who is "they"?

Apple is a hardware company. They're not going to charge you for their software too.
How do you "not install unity" on an Ubuntu install? Surely it's easier to get mint?
As a mint user you'd certainly notice if Ubuntu went away.
I wasn't expecting a response as lame as that.
The Federal Trade Commission is warning ***a dozen of developers*** about some code they've included in their apps

It's totally safe; we totally can't hack it. Don't get one of those cheap devices, or an iPhone, because we'd be screwed.

I'm pretty sure some Anonymous members worked with US law enforcement!
Others, such as Kevin Mitnick, work privately.
"But even then you will need to be famous to pull a job because the company will have to audit every single thing you do."
Huh? Pull a job? Which company? You just work for - or start - a company and just get on with it.
