We still have a very, very long way to go before a robot can park a truck, pick out oddly shaped packages out of the truck, get them out of the truck, knock on a door, go down some stairs, scan the packages, pick up new packages, etc. These current robots are are good in highly controlled, controlled, high volume commercial facilities. All of the little stuff that humans do are quite complicated, and we've got decades before we've got automated delivery anything, in my opinion.
If you are referring to your companies loading dock, then driverless trucks will still bring your goods directly to your door just as they do now.
They can't unload them in any meaningful way. I'm not sending employees into some other company's truck to retrieve our packages. That's a liability nightmare, and it's too damn expensive.
There's no way that robots can do what human drivers do. Driving a simple vehicle around some simple roads is one thing. Unloading boxes from a truck, putting them on handtrucks and getting them into our business is a whole different thing.
Microsoft makes money through selling their OS. They don't need to sell advertising data.
Also, as a Windows Phone user, I can tell you, I don't see any tracking going on. That might be because I'm not logged in with any Microsoft id. You don't have to be to use Windows Phone. Can't say that about Google or Apple.
So yes, I'd say that Microsoft is different in that respect.
There's nothing in that article, or any of the links from that article, that I can find that says anything about Microsoft selling Windows 10 data to advertisers.
You're right. Just about everything manufactured for the United States is manufactured this way now. What you're describing is a positive side effect from a "policy" designed to "stick it to the dems" and make coal miners cheer like trained monkeys at rallys. This is an evil, fucked up tariff that just so might happen to have the effect of having one particular item manufactured in a safer, less polluting way.
... but it takes a massive amount of money to design and make chips. It's not going to happen "open source" unless some very wealthy individual or organization decides to do so for altruistic reasons.
This is a moot point if you buy your own email. If somebody gets your password, change it yourself. Or, enable 2 factor authorization, and don't give Google your cell phone number. Email costs $2/month.
Android is just a knockoff. Somebody would've created a cheap alternative to the iPhone. Microsoft did. I'm sure other companies would have too. I don't consider a cheap knockoff revolutionary.
Add a PIN, and then get a 99% decline in in-person fraud. Again, chip security does NOTHING for online security. Develop a PIN for use online and watch fraud drop tremendously there, too.
Visa/Mastercard write the laws. The credit card laws in the US say that the merchants are responsible fro any and all fraud. Visa/MC simply don't care, and have no reason to.
Why would US be so late in the payment processing game?
Because our government is bought and paid for, already. There are no laws or rules or regulations about accepting credit or debit cards in the US. It's all up to Visa/Mastercard.

How many times and how many products have they launched to great fanfare, only for it to die on the vine a few years later?

I think there's another side of this where keeping these people sane is a real issue.
People who aren't "sane" without cell phones are not mentally healthy and shouldn't be part of the active military.
I would've liked to see what Apple could've done with servers. Now they're just a toy company.

there are plenty of technologies that can load and unload a truck without a person being involved.
Like what?

The environmental impact of making an electric motor is what percentage of creating an ICE engine?

Locking your phone up for an hour is "draconian"? You may want to get some help for that. That sounds like addiction.
Why does it matter? Are you a pedophile?

That's the #1 reason why I won't consider any Apple products.

The truth is they are collecting a whole lot more and selling it to advertisers but they aren't giving you a tool to see that data.
Do you have any support for this statement, or are you just making shit up?
what's wrong with us catching a break for once?
Because it comes at the expense of people who can least afford to give you tax breaks.

What in the hell are you talking about? What does the price falling have to do with criminals using it?
Are you telling me that the US is less sophisticated than Africa?
Yes, I am.

Android is just an alternative to iOS and Windows Phone. There's nothing revolutionary about it.
