The micro-USB connector on my Nexus 5 got fried when the LG power unit that came with it fried itself one night while charging. The phone would no longer charge via the USB port. But because I could still charge it via wireless, I was still able to use my phone.
But that's about it. It's useful as an alternate charging method. A Plan B.
Agreed. This year I bought my first Mac. It's a 13" MacBook Air. I was going to Europe for a couple of months and wanted the lightest, fastest laptop I could get.
I've avoided most Apple great for literally decades. But I love this thing. It just goes. For me, the closest would be a Chromebook. My Mac helped me better understand what Google is trying to achieve with the Chromebooks.
Where I live, printer ink for ink jets works out at well over $10,000 / litre for the genuine article from the manufacturer. This is more valuable than almost any other home-use material I can think of.
It's been around for decades, but the economies of scale that see prices drop for mature products don't seem to apply.
I buy color laser printers now, but they also seem to run out of toner far too quickly for what I pay for them. For toner cartridges can cost me $400-$500. Yet one of the colours always seems to die rapidly.
The GOP are horrendous crony faux-capitalists. Just turn the TV off and leave it off. Life got much better when I did. More free time. Time to do things for me and my family.
Totally agree. Taxis everywhere are highly regulated... and often for excellent reasons. A company that wasn't to ignore that (and related vested interests) will have HUGE problems.
When I looked at Under when I first heard of them it was obvious to me if they had any success at all it would be fleeting due to transport regulators everywhere streamlining Uber out.
Booze and cigarettes and lack of sleep age people a lot. I've been watching my own age group (mid-50s now) over the years and they look really bad if they've been drinking and smoking throughout. Shift workers look older, too.... And are generally overweight.
Yeah.,. But I'm amazed these probes fly through space for years and don't hit even one grain of sand at 75,000kph......that would end them in an instant.
.....but it was France who bombed the Greenpeace ship, Rainbow Warrior, at a downtown wharf in Auckland, New Zealand in 1985. They killed one of the crew.
Granted, that was a conservative French government and they (conservatives) do tend to be sociopathic murderers. One of the many reasons I never vote for conservatives. Anywhere.
No....You can't.
Most people can't stop eating chips and watching football long enough to even know this guy said anything.....never mind do anything about it.
He's right. You just don't know it yet.
That's the problem with predictions. By the time the slow among us realise they are correct....it's FAR too late.
Humans have destroyed, degraded or appropriated habitat on a global scale - on land and in the seas - and pushed most things we can't eat (and many we can) to the edge of extinction and beyond.
One. More. Shove....
There. Done.

Yep.

OK, but I'm still not doing the dishes. Paper plates on Mars for the win.

If I have to use iTunes to listen to the radio, I'm not buying one. ;-)
Agreed.
.."that doesn't mean it was disruptive ".... Said every disruptive kid who just doesn't get it...

The Map link takes me to Westminster in London. Nowhere near Salisbury.
Totally agree. The TPP is a disaster we all must avoid. This is not trivial.
They didn't survive. They died young and full of disease and parasites. But they had kids at 14 so humans persisted.
"Collapse"? Slowing the rate of increase isn't collapse.
Well done, Google, if that's the case.

Research papers look at more than your own, narrow, anecdotal experience.

I love Windows 8.1's bi-polar dog's breakfast UI *SO* *MUCH* I just bought my first ever Apple Mac.

But then they would have to pick their own crops....
