"Unless Apple felt like there would be some bad elements in the reviews, why would you hold back?" Mr. Dawson asked. "Why would you be selective about who gets it first?"
Because, they would be reviewing the device "incorrectly" or "wrong."
Remember when some late Senior Apple executive stated that some iPhone users were holding those devices wrong?
Look, if this fella had bought several Bitcoin at $117 or better, he'd be singing a different tune, the opposite of what he's talking about I guarantee.
Eventually they will lose the case and go under, but not before the owners have run off with a decent profit.
That's the point precisely, as long as a "quick buck" can be made.
if I were them, I'd sell the box without any potentially "infringing" functionality; I'd also include any disclaimers I need to include so as to "insulate" myself; then point buyers to a site that has code to that makes the box work as intended.
But what really, do you think is going through a CEO's mind?
While I sympathize especially with employees that may lose jobs, I have no mercy for companies that used to gouge ordinary folk with tens of [useless] channels in the not so distant past.
I couldn't agree more. This so called material Design is what is responsible for the horrible interface GMail has?
In almost all Google products, they have adopted light colors for the font. These things aren't easily seen!!
YouTube is even worse! The whole thing is from the 90s.
Why, you may ask: For the desktop version, the whole page scrolls away if one is to read comments. Why not let the video remain visible as I peruse comments?
If you are interested in video on the right, clicking to play subsequent video gets rid of that selection. I just don't get it!!
Photos: No logical sorting exists. Google relies on AI for this! It's insane!
Calendar: Huge bars as if one sent Google to Maximize screen real estate. Copying an event from one time frame to another is still not possible!
One conclusion: It's sad that a [rich company like ]Google is horrible at design.
They (Google), should try putting their efforts into being a company that actually strives not to do evil by at least paying their fair share of taxes around the world.
That way, governments can [more] easily spare funds to educate.
To be relevant to this maybe you could compare Musks claims with CNNs news and provide some proof they are less trustworthy in general?
If people followed and but their cash on CNN and its claims prior to the election, they'd have lost big time.
Anyway, I digress....but these are some of the outrageous things they've said in the recent past. Remember, they claim to be, "The most trusted name in News."
1: They on June 6th reported that Comey was going to contradict President Trumpâ(TM)s claim that he wasnâ(TM)t under FBI investigation in his Senate testimony, a report which obviously was going to make Trump look like a liar. They had to retract these claims.
2: CNN.com Headline: From early May, âoeRape and domestic violence could be pre-existing conditions.â CNN argued that the American Health Care Act (AHCA) could make sexual assault a pre-existing condition, preventing women who survive rape from getting health care.
3: Claim reported as something worth listening to, while referring to WikiLeaks: "Remember, itâ(TM)s illegal to possess these stolen documents. Itâ(TM)s different for the media. So everything you learn about this, youâ(TM)re learning from us,â Cuomo said on television.
Russia is actively undermining the US of A's [potential] hegemony here. Folks in the US administration cannot be impressed by this development, can they?
For Russia, even after a few rounds of sanctions from the US, its economy reportedly grew!
I write code for the gov and the hard part is when the bug is in the law. The bug might have not been obvious to lawmakers, but when I write my if-else it becomes dead obvious. It is hard because A) I know what I'm doing is wrong, but I have to do it, because it is written into the law B) There is no bug tracker where I can submit bugs in the law.
You could perhaps consider providing an example of what you're talking about. Without a concrete example, your submission is anemic I am afraid.

Isn't it funny how the bigger companies seem to just "know better" than the rest of the Internet engineers?
It would perhaps be better if you internalize the fact that the criticism of having "broke the web" is a one person opinion.
Others would probably disagree.

Will remain in beta until discontinued.
I agree, sadly.

Enough said!
Anyone can point me to the [audio] oral argument for this Oracle v. Google Android case?
I will be most grateful.
Eventually they will lose the case and go under, but not before the owners have run off with a decent profit.

Next, profit!
We are now witnessing feature creep as more features are being crammed into Chrome.
Google should style up and "fix" their current software, most of which suffers from usability issues and/or crappy implementation.
As a start: How about implementing basic sorting of video from photos [or having some kind of sensible filter] in their Google Photos offering?
But what really, do you think is going through a CEO's mind?
While I sympathize especially with employees that may lose jobs, I have no mercy for companies that used to gouge ordinary folk with tens of [useless] channels in the not so distant past.
What Will Replace Computer Keyboards?
Question is: Do they *need* to be replaced? If so, why?
Wow!
How does one get to use it? I use Chrome.
Thanks!
Just wait when their joint Russia/China wide body aircraft engine is completed.
I am worried American dominance won't last that long.
Plans of China & Russia "ditching" the dollar will simply make things worse.

Anyone know? Or was he simply reading off some prepared script or a teleprompter?
Hooray...!!!
Why did it take too long? This must hurt for those leftist zealots I guess. I am sure they'll feel some "lump" in their throat.
So they posted stuff that was inaccurate...
So they posted stuff that was deliberately misleading...
bold mine...

Need more? I have 11 crazy ones for you...
I am wondering why anyone and at Slashdot especially, would take CNN any serious. Why? These are folks who spread f*k* news I know.
...Each balloon can service an area of 1,930 miles...
How about
Each balloon can service an area of 1,930 square miles...
Bold and additions mine...
...Even with a 10ft pole.
And that because of one reason: The lack of that 3.5mm headphone jack.
...And they do more business with Russia than the USA.
Have a read.
A sizeable number of Slashdotters will agree:

Good for them.

"The problem is that software engineers don't understand the problem they're trying to solve, and don't care to,..."
I think they do understand the problem and that's why things generally work, or don't they? I think they do work on the whole.
The reason is that they're too wrapped up in getting their code to work.
To this, I must rephrase:
"The reason is that they're too wrapped up in getting their code to work, as they should..."
