400 million or so on Windows 10. A small percentage of those are early adopters who are testing the new version. Lets say a 10th of a percent, so maybe 400,000 pc are testing the new version, and I am sure there are plenty of problems, and tons of missed hardware configurations.
I'm sure there will be plenty of problems with the new release, and it's always smart to put it off as long as possible.
This. I always use older phones. Except my Galaxy S3 is being replaced by an LG X Charge because it is low end and I can buy it outright for $1 with no contract. I'll have it Wednesday.
This exactly! I was able to view the totality, and it was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It amazed me how well lit everything was right up until totality.
I viewed in southern Illinois (Chester), and plan an viewing again in 7 years when it goes through illinois again.
Same deal, same price for me. Periodically, they call me and try to get me to sign up for cable bundle, as it is a "better deal". As you know, the devil is in the details and they refuse to tell me what the additional fees would be or to provide anything in writing, so I politely decline.
We have been off cable for several years, and quit when we lived in a different town and the local cable was going to require a cable box. We continued with that when we moved to a town with Comcast.
Cordcutting is only getting better and easier now.
That's the thing. Houses and cost of living are way cheaper in other parts of the country. Where I live my house will be paid off in 13 more years. I live a mile from work and ride a skateboard to work most days. It takes 6-7 minutes.
One of the things they are wanting to do with Watson is ingest images and reports, develop some computer aided diagnostic information based on that to to make suggestions on pathologies. It will bring up a window with images of examples of diagnosed pathologies that are similar to what is on the rads workstation. Supposedly will even do boilerplate for the report based on that.
I see what you are saying, however BEVs really don't have the practical range for long trips. Tesla's that can Supercharge excluded. BEVs are absolutely great for urban use, which is where 90% of their driving is anyway. For China, trying to cut pollution, BEVs are perfect. From what I understand, Electric bikes and scooters are hugely popular over there.
And for what it's worth, My car is a Ford C-Max Energi.
Obviously, you would want to rent for long trips. I just got back from vacation, and we wimped out and drove 320 mile legs per day. I have a PHEV, and we get around 500-600 miles per tank. Electric is only good for around 25 miles a charge, but worked well to drive electric only at our destination. Level 2 charger fully charged us in 2-3 hours, and level 1 at destination hotel was 5-6. With a BEV, that would take 9-12 at level 2 i'd bet. Driving long distances would be challenging electric only with current technology.
I am guessing they lost a ton of users, or haven't been gaining any. Since the whole operation is a money loser now and in the past, and they were pumping money in contingent on growth, the investors forced the situation. I loved Uber the few times I used it, but deleted my account and quit using it several months ago due to reports of harassment, and the way they treated their drivers. Latest thing was apparently their no-tip thing was that they paid fairly and tipping was built into the cost. Now they offer tipping in the app because they were shorting the drivers and the no-tipping thing was bullshit.
If you want to keep Google's advertising profile analytics software out of your email, then Gmail is awful. Your email will be scanned by systems that try to work out what you might be interested in buying, and this data will be correlated with web searches (if you don't have web history disabled), and data from other Google products. The resulting information will be used by Google (not by advertisers; they don't get access to the treasure trove) to show you ads for things you might want to buy, instead of things that you almost certainly don't want to buy.
You make some good points, and with the standard noscript and adblocking setups, this last point is pretty much moot.
I understand the reason, but the fact that they don't block until someone tries to post still means they are still acquiring intelligence. From what I understand, Facebook still logs all input even if not posted, so I'm sure they would hand this over to whatever government that requests it.
It may, but in my case it's been about the same. I have a plug in hybrid, so it doesn't use as much juice as a full electric. I replaced TV and lights about the same time I got the car. I only drive to work about once a week as I only live a mile away.
As long as you don't buy new. Easily done. I paid $175 2 years ago for a used HP Elitebook with great specs. Got my wife a used HP Stream 11 for $100 a year ago, which is probably not too different from the specs of one of these Windows S boxes, except that it isn't locked down.
That's a pretty good way of looking at it. A year after my mom passed away, my dad remarried to a woman who's husband committed suicide. He did think he was providing well enough for them, and in his suicide note hoped the insurance would provide well for them. His life insurance had a suicide clause, so it didn't pay off. Depression is a terrible illness.
I just went to Ting after RingPlus bit the dust. It pains me to have fewer minutes and data, and pay around $60 a month for 3 phones when I was paying $30 a month for 3 phones before. Oh well.

Nothing about how Google has pushed Chrome through dubious means to be the #1 browser, which, by default, uses Google for searching.
They both are playing fast and loose.

Yeah, the old Zenith Space Command remotes were pretty cool.

Supposedly this is what IBM/Merge is trying to do with Watson. I would guess it will eventually work, but still has a long way to go.

As far as I know, the Ghostery browser is now Cliqz. I have been using is for a while now and seems pretty decent.

I seem to think Aldi got their barcode scanners around 2000 or so. At least here in the US. Prior to that the memorized everything.
