No, apple devices are not forced to update. Of the 4 iOS devices in my household capable of running ios7, only 1 device currently is. The reason is I have not seen a need to update. Everything continues to run great with ios6. That and they keep pushing new versions of ios7 making me feel like it still has bugs to be worked out.
Strange, because looking at patient charts I see that doctors are perscripting vitamins all the time. Could it be they don't want us to take multi vitamins so instead they can wait for us to become deficient so they can write prescriptions for drugs and vitamins?
This airplay alternative uses a HDMI dongle to connect to a TV. There are many HDMI android dongles available that run full android and connect to TVs. Connect one of those and run any one of many streaming apps like miracast or logmein and voila, your PC/Mac/Linux is now on your TV
Did any read the summary? AT&T said google can use the poles, you just have to be a cable provider or telecom like everyone else that uses the poles. That seems fair to me. Come on Google go buy another company and run some wires!
You provided me with the citation. There's about a billion more people on earth that speak chinese than naturally speak English yet you said you went to tourist attractions in China and find signs everywhere in English but in the US you wouldnt find signs in chinese anywhere. Then while at a pool in china you said random chinese people start following you around just to hear you speak English. Thank you for proving my point. The number of Chinese that speak broken English is probably greater than the entire US population.
Not sure why this article about a satanic monument started a discussion on gay marriage but after looking at the website for the satanic temple it's pretty clear they don't take the religion too seriously and just want a monument to poke fun at Christianity although its rather ironic that satanism is essentially the Christian dogma just worshipping another character
Considering the number of chinese that learn English in school compared to English speaking children that learn chinese, I have a feeling we will all be speaking a hybrid version of English and Chinese in hundreds of years. English isn't going anywhere, not when billions of chinese are all taught English from ages 4 thru 18.
Is this so bad? If they assume you make good income and are highly intelligent because you visit slashdot daily who does that hurt? At least this is something you can control. I think it's funny Facebook patented this, pretty sure this has been going on as long as advertising has existed.
I don't think the government should tell us what to eat, but I do think there is something wrong with the US food supply that calories doesn't cover because rice is horribly high in calories and carbohydrates which is suppose to make people fat yet the countries that eat the most rice have skinny citizens. What are they putting in the food that most Americans eat that the rest of the world isn't eating?
I'm going to get flamed for this, but.... buy an iPhone? can't happen in iOS, apps can not access contacts or location without asking first, the operating system won't allow it, and you can remove the access anytime in settings. I know, flame on, but if this was Windows and someone said how can I stop getting viruses and someone recommended Linux it would be +5 insightful
iPhone doesn't need it since every app has to be approved by Apple themselves before hitting the appstore and iOS doesn't allow access to contacts or locations without a large popup saying "do you want this app to access (blank)?" Which you can turn off anytime in settings. There are some advantages to a walled garden
Can anybody give me a reason not to have stability control where that reasons does not contain “fun” or “because”? (which might be sufficient – just looking for any other reasons.)
'Cause, uh, it's a sports car designed for racing?
Mid-engined cars are designed solely to get around corners fast, and they're extremely unstable compared to your average Ford or Honda. The problem is that many are bought by people who have no clue, and end up in a ditch the first time they take their foot off the gas in a corner.
For a good example of why mid-engine is better imagine a shopping cart with a 30 pack of beer in it and pushing the cart from the back. Front engine is equivalent to putting the beer in the very front of the cart and mid-engine is equivalent to putting the beer at the back of the cart. Try both and tell me which is easier to push around a corner.
So what do I think happened? Fluke 1-in-a-million accident that couldn't be repeated if you tried.
State farm are scumbags. They (company policy) deny any claim that they figure is not worth hiring a lawyer for.
Progressive is worse. Had another driver rear-end me 2 years ago and they had Progressive. Even though it was 100% their fault Progressive refused to pay and I had to sue the other driver. All the other driver kept telling the judge is "I don't know why I'm here I have insurance!"
Thrifty? Christmas is in weeks, Android users don't buy Christmas gifts? But that's fine if android users don't want to spend money, no surprise that the people that bought the free phone don't have money to spend on gifts, but this doesn't look good for android to a developer or business owner trying to figure out what mobile platform to release on first.
Yes. They had no defense. It was a buffet and they told the judge they ran out of numbers that's why the price was like $6 instead of $10 because they didn't have a 1 and 0 for the sign. But if they do that to 500 people a day and only had to hand back $4 they make $1,996 more a day than they should. The judge should have punished them for defrauding customers and calling the police when it was their fault.
Who needs a drone? Just follow the big brown truck and pick up the packages they leave at front doors. I have no idea why more criminals don't do that, seems like the easiest way ever to steal stuff because it costs nothing, odds of getting caught are low, you're not confronting anyone and you can easily get iPads and other expensive stuff brand new in box to sell on ebay or craigslist. Compared to mugging someone or breaking into someone's house stealing packages looks easy and safe

You would think but you would be wrong: man dies from rc helicopter
Show off? It's a mustang. Last mustang worthy of showing off was built 50 years ago
Does it have an electric mullet button?

Have to wonder how many other apps are doing this that have not been caught yet
But unfortunately encumbered by a Patent, and the patent is held by a company that won't share the design.
Which makes me wonder if they'll be sued for copying the Apple lightning connector style. And before you say "OMG Apple sues over every silly patent!" remember that Samsung sued Apple for the bounce-back effect when you scroll a list and reach the end (no I'm not joking they really did).
It may look less scary and be legal but if a drone can carry a 5 lbs package it can carry five 14 ounce fragmentation hand grenades.

I have had several mid-engine sports cars, both with and without stability control, and you're wrong, mid-engine is the most stable engine configuration a vehicle can have, otherwise why would F1 cars all be mid-engine?
Mid-engine is so stable that the mid-engine Porsche Cayman is commonly known to be the best handling vehicle money can buy:

I guess commercials are expensive.

Actually it proves people with free phones don't buy stuff. You have something to sell? Sell it to the people that paid $200-$500 for their phone.
Sounds to me like if your company wants to sell products make sure your website is iOS compatible and you have a iOS app.
