How the fuck does "flat design" effect productivity? Does it hurt your delicate eyeballs and then make you too sad to get shit done, or something like that?
Hey, good for Google! Now, they've got every bit of data from every human on the planet using an Android *or* and iPhone! Good for them! That's pretty impressive. As a retailer, it's really much easier to have eveybody's data in one place. We've got so much information about our customers now, that it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
The idea that the best stuff on the internet will be hidden behind walls in apps rather than accessible through any browser is the mortal fear for open web lovers; it's like replacing one library with many stores that each only carry books for one publisher.
The "best stuff on the Internet" isn't movies and TV. Those can be gotten lots of different ways, or can be left, altogether. It's just stupid corporate entertainment crap, by and large.
The "best stuff on the Internet" in my opinion, is still there, and isn't going to be effected in any way by DRM.
There is no information on Bloomberg (or anywhere that I can find) to support your statements. You are wrong. The largest automakers in the world are not selling many electric cars right now, and will not be in 2018.
Some people like the convenience of a voice assistant.
Some people like meth, too. That doesn't mean that it's a smart decision.
At least Amazon treats the audio recordings at a similar privacy level as they do credit card information.
They sell that information. I buy it to analyze our business' customers' shopping habits. I'm sure I could buy data mined from recordings of people's daily lives, too, if I had a need for it.
Oh, that's cute. You really think that's the price? You didn't take into account that you've also given up every scrap of privacy you have, too. Is that worth $0 to you? You don't mind that it's entirely likely (and legal) that somebody somewhere is listening to you and your SO banging? That's worth the horrible inconvenience of pushing a light switch with your finger?
Nobody is telling anybody what to do. I don't know where you got that idea. I'm assuming you didn't read the article. He's bemoaning the fact that most people have this awesome computing in their pockets and use it to watch TV, and as a result, are still pretty dumb.
FTP (and Telnet) are antique protocols that cannot be made adequately secure and have long since had more secure alternatives available.
You're right! The only thing is that the Internet was never designed to be "secure", and likely never will be. FTP works just fine for moving files around. Not everybody needs security on the Internet. If you want to pretend that you can slap some software on top of an inherently insecure network to try to make it "secure", then go right ahead. I'll happily continue to use the Internet the way it was meant to be used.
If you can run out a cell phone's charge in the span of one day, you might have bigger problems to tackle than the phone's charging ability. I would imagine that visiting a good clinical psychologist would be a good first step.
Doing business of any kind, online, is inherently insecure. There's a lot of risk for consumers, and a lot of expense for businesses to stay as secure as possible (which isn't very). Sucks for people who need a credit score.
I've noticed a lot of people in the past decade or so have gotten a sort of disorder where they need to have all new gadgets, and the second one isn't considered "new" to them any more, they feel they can't use it. It's super strange to me. Have there always been people like this (new cars every year?)? I don't seem to remember talking to/reading about so many people who are obsessed with only using the newest gadget.
Regardless, I still use my Windows Phone all day, every day. It works just fine. And, I know my data isn't be slurped up by Google or Apple.

There's still no good way to export electricity.
Linux hasn't been any harder to use than Windows for years.
I laughed out loud when I saw this. I just spend 30 minutes trying to get mp3's to play on Ubuntu (no, I never figured it out).

So, you keep Google from getting your info, but you still give it freely to Apple...?
Apple or Google, it doesn't matter to us. We get all of their data from both.

"Private" is better. Always.
No it isn't, troll.
This is going to turn the internet into cable TV. 47 gazillion channels, and it's all commercial filled crap.
It already is. Ignore the crap. There's plenty of open web left, and there probably always will be.

You are an elephant. Look it up! I'm not going to do your research for you.

Starting in 2018 more than 80 percent of all cars and trucks sold worldwide will be electric only or plug-in electric hybrids with a biodiesel option.
That's demonstrably false. None of the world's major automakers are selling anywhere near a majority of their vehicles as electric or hybrids.
Considering how badly the elites simply want to eradicate roughly 90% us from the Earth
I hope you're seeing a professional, licenses psychologist. You've got some serious issues.
That is actually remarkable for any device in this day and age.
"Remarkable" if you're an Apple user. Windows 7 is supported for 11 years (at least). Windows XP was supported for 13 years.
Because of 30% of every sale.
Yup, that's the real reason.
We've got the data on a free intro trial. We won't pay to use it ongoing. If we want to, it's only $30/month per merchant account.

but for the price ($50)

You're nuts. He didn't say that at all. You're making that up, or your reading comprehension is really poor.
