The problem IS mobile web. They actually try to cram more tracking JS crap on pages, with auto-playing video [at least they still generally serve flash to desktop, so blocking Flash works to kill those ads]. It's ridiculous.
I'm pretty sure most of these 'economic research' papers were used by industry to indicate to the government that the economy will do much better if the government gives them a bunch of money.
And both feet must simultaneously be in contact with the ground during each stride when switching from one foot to the other. Otherwise, you also go directly to jail.
1) this discussion is not about "banning" anything. And nothing in my comment even hints at banning anything.
2) my comment is that, for the people who get distracted playing with their in-car entertainment/guidance system, and then hit/kill someone, which has repeatedly happened in the past, this makes lawyers eye's light up. And if they can establish that whatever company that created that system didn't do a good job in managing the risk of this distraction happening, it gives the lawyer a boner and/or sploosh moment. And this specifically is the core of your vaunted "free-market", where when you do something stupid, you pay for it.
3) companies that make these in-car entertainment/guidance systems generally employ both a bunch of reasonably smart people and reasonably smart lawyers. And they generally will come to the decision that it is much better for their bottom line and the public perception of their company if they design their systems so that they don't get sued for enabling the driver to distract themselves while driving. enlighted self-interest.
4) feel free to mount a laptop as your in-car entertainment system, and then listen to music on it, or watch the latest Miley Cyrus video, or whatever. You clearly seem to be one of those "special" people who can handle it.
Of course, this is even more ambiguous than the previous one. I, for one, have no desire for the 'right thing' to be done to me, if an MBA is the one deciding it.
And yet Apple has the longest update policy of all phone manufacturers of any significant volume [there might be one or two outliers that provide updates for longer than Apple does, but they only sell a very small number of phones].
The iPhone 4S I bought new in 2011, then passed onto my dad, is still supported by iOS 9 [started with iOS 5].
With Android, you do have a choice of vendors. Roughly equally poor vendors [w.r.t. updating their software].

Yes, this is just trying to serve the existing ads and tracking crap faster.
Ad/Tracking Blocking really is the only way forward.

What the hell is THAT doing in there!
I got pregnant accidentally.
Same thing.

There are silver bullets. They just don't kill vampires.
Well, the person you hit while scrolling through that list of songs might differ on that point. And their lawyer will be very interested it as well.
Nope. Same type as before. pond.
Also, it is not how it actually works in T.R.W.
Sorry, now it's "Do the right thing."
Of course, this is even more ambiguous than the previous one. I, for one, have no desire for the 'right thing' to be done to me, if an MBA is the one deciding it.
Just carry around a sign "It's just a bombe!" That way, it's clear to everyone it's not a bomb.
w.t.f? The iPhone 3G started with iOS 2, and was supported up to iOS 4.2.1, which is 2 years.
What did you do, pick one out of the garbage bin when Apple stopped selling them?
And, if you look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iOS_devices, you might notice that it's getting longer.
The 3GS and 4 went up to 3 years, and the 4S is currently at 4 years [it's the oldest device supported by the current version of iOS].
Google doesn't even support their own Nexus devices this long.
No, it's way too big to get off the ground.
So, success, then. Where does the ogre eye go next?

Compared only to the other Republican candidates.
Well, Trump did lead a number of companies into bankruptcy...I suppose that could make him better at leading the US.
You can't fool "The Decider"
But this is the kind of thing where someone in Congress will stand up and say "This is why we need to get rid of the EPA."
..and some entity actually willing and able to enforce the penalty...
No. Everybody should have a gun and always be ready to immediately shoot anyone in their vicinity. It's the only way everyone can be safe.
It's like nuclear-deterrence on a personal level. Except with more batshit crazy people with their finger on the button.
Isn't this just part of their plan on eliminating the homeless?
Mmm. Time for another hit. And now, a dab of salt on the tongue. There. Now I feel like crap.
