You've paid for internet access on your [capable] mobile device. Some authority then sees it fit to charge you to for instance fully access Viber, Telegram, WhatsAPP or any other service that runs over the internet backbone.
Going forward, Bedi said, the company remains committed to making investments in what made MX Player so popular among customers: The ability to play a plethora of video files on low-end devices.
This gentleman got it wrong! he should have written that second sentence as follows:
The ability to play a plethora of video files on low-end devices, with no ads, let or hindrance. (Bold mine).
I can confirm to the poor fella that the player will be off my phone within hours after seeing the first ad.
Where can one go for true information these days? On the war in Syria, most media reports don't capture the real truth.
They do not "force" government to tell the truth.
In fact, this administration, fearing the loss of leverage in Syria, now says it knows Assad will use chemical weapons.
They do not mention that what Assad will be doing is what the American government did in Mosul, Iraq, or that Aleppo is now in relative peace after Assad established sanity there.
Since May, there have been at least 16 lynchings leading to 29 deaths in India where public officials say mobs were incited by misinformation on WhatsApp. As Facebook wrangles an ongoing crisis of public confidence over its role in spreading misinformation throughout the 2016 US presidential election, the company is grappling with a different kind of problem in places like Rainpada, where its products have abetted flesh-and-blood harm.
I would rather have that such kind of reports be balanced with something positive WhatsApp & the like have been responsible for. I am sure there is something we call all be proud of.
Off my head, I can think of cheap phone calls apps like WhatsApp have enabled. This way, the big telecom companies' greed has been tamed.
Chrome focused on web standards and respected HTML5, and it even passed both the Acid1 and Acid2 tests at the time of its release. This was a significant step as Microsoft was struggling to adhere to open web standards with its Internet Explorer browser.
I must assert: Microsoft did not even try to adhere to web standards at the time.
For a company of Microsoft's stature with thousands of [capable & competent] programmers, this would be cake walk. They chose not to try.
These fellas are smoking something. Until Chrome OS can have "native" applications like Windows does, MS doesn't have to worry. Where is Chorome OS' equivalent of Microsoft office?
Rather than trying to make C "less dangerous", why not use a language like Rust? Wasn't it designed to essentially be a less dangerous C?
It's because of the Not invented here syndrome (NIHS) - A mindset or corporate culture that favors internally-developed products over externally-developed products, even when the external solution is superior.

. Google promotes the Gmail feature as a way to protect sensitive information by allowing users to set an expiration date for individual messages or revoke access to messages already sent. The feature also prevents recipients from forwarding, copying, printing or downloading its content and allows users to require recipients to enter a one-time code sent via SMS to view the email. The authentication feature is intended to protect information in the event of the recipient's email account being hijacked.
What's to prevent me from taking a snapshot of the entire email and later doing whatever I want anyway? Instead of improving Gmail's default interface, Google decides to "waste time" on features that don't really matter.
"The tariffs have played a major role raising prices by almost 80 percent (partly due to associated shortages), which cut deeply into our margins.
I hope our president will reconsider his stance on tarrifs. Folks are struggling. It's rumored that a kinda distant neighbor has lost his house to foreclosure.
On the other hand though, I won't be surprised if I hear of those asking the president to double down on tarrifs.
We all agree that Google finally succumbed to the whims of the Chinese.
For Google to have any consequential initiatives in China, they will need to sort out their messaging regime. Without a WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat or even Telegram competitor, they (Google) are wasting time.
Sadly, these "smart" minds at Google never seem to learn.
Three Ukrainians associated with the hacking group FIN7 have been arrested in Europe in connection with hacks of more than 100 U.S. companies that led to tens of millions of dollars in losses...
I wonder how the USA was able to infer that these Ukrainians weren't government backed.
In other words, question is: If these were Russians would the USA have gone for them [directly] or directly accused the Russian government like it has done in the no-so-distant past?
On a side note, doesn't this show that our systems are inherently weak?
Microsoft has been getting away from the old-style desktop model for years now. Just look at Office. Microsoft would much rather have you rent Office via Office 365 than buy Microsoft Office and use it for years...
Open source software zealots have been hoping for an "opening" for years. I guess this will be it.
Question is: Do they have anything that comes close to what Microsoft has created over the decades? I doubt!!
For me and as far as the desktop version of YouTube is concerned, I would rather be able to scroll through comments or even related video without losing visual of a playing video.
Is this possible at all, or through an extension or hack?
The government's goal is to release an initial set of ideas this fall that outlines Web users' rights, including general principles for how companies should collect and handle consumers' private information...
How about [forcing] inter-operation of service providers' message & voice apps? That is, being able to use Telegram's message & voice app to communicate with WhatsAPP for instance?
Heck, I can effortlessly send email from whatever client I choose without worrying whether a recipient who has conveyed a valid address will receive it.
Does anyone remember the WMDs? Wild claims, from supposedly credible agencies led us to war. This war killed thousands of Iraqis and a few hundred Americans.
I am meant to understand that IP addresses can be made up; languages can be learned and pretty everything can be faked these days.
Some agency learned of an alleged Russian attack, did nothing about it because they knew their candidate was going to win anyway. When that didn't materialize, they are now making noise. I am very skeptical about claims such as these.

But there is not one Uber driver I've ever seen that I would want picking out groceries for me nor would even eat anything they hand me...
Someone at your chosen grocery store will ppack the groceries into a "tamper proof" bag.
All the Uber fella will have to do is DELIVER.
In any case, UBER gets their cut with virtually no effort expended; smart!
Here's one:

I beg to ask the question:
Is there anything the US of A does right, especially in this regime of the Donald?
"That premise no longer exists today, so our promise cannot be fulfilled."
I have a hunch that the USA no longer has that clout it once had. Countries are now openly willing to defy the USA.
Some countries are already trying to kill the dollar
let me hope our president will change course, though I have no doubt that some folks will hope that he doubles down.

Unfortunately, many people will be willing to take his place.
Yes, because is *always* because of the money or fame.

This may not really help with cleanup but we can at least agree that developed nations are 100% responsible for this plastic mess.
Sadly, these same nations preach to the developing ones about the "need to protect the environment."
Huh!!
"... It's important to consider alternative metrics to indicate success, relating to user satisfaction and quality of time spent."
When at work, I observe some of my colleagues. I have one conclusion:
One will easily conclude that these folks are mentally ill just by the way they interact with their devices...mostly FB.
I don't think IBM was trying to be racist in this case
How could IBM be racist anyway? 100% of the target have some form of skin color, right?

And that's why Microsoft should be concerned.

Is this so hard? I do not think so.
They found that a similar "twin peaks" pattern appeared in all countries - at 7pm in the evening and then at 2am.
So, of all problems this world faces, these folks find time to study this?
On the other hand, someone should tell me why this finding is relevant to Slashdot because I do not see how it is.

It's not Facebook's fault that you're an idiot, nor that you're an idiot looking for your fifteen minutes....
Now this kind of response is kind harsh, no?
