That's sad. I go to the library regularly. I enjoy it. It's one of the unequivocally good things that comes from modern society. It's much better than having to read corporate-approved "books" on a gadget controlled by said corporation.
Those who'd try to argue that would be wrong. Apple's clutter of unrelated icons on a grid (aka: my grandmother's desktop in 1998) is dog shit. People just don't care for whatever reason. Window's customizeable, live tile thing is really neat, super useful, oh, and isn't ugly as sin.
If not for Windows Phone, I don't think I'd use a smart phone. I won't use Apple for all of the obvious reasons, and Android is a mess of an OS. I use my Windows Phone for work (I don't play games on my phone), and it's super slick. I was going to get a Lumia when my current Windows phone died, but barring that, I'll get whatever the best hardware is that's running Windows Phone. They really do have the best product, and I hope they continue to ride out the waves of fad and fashion that drive phone sales now. Eventually, their turn will come around in terms of fashion, and eventually, people who use their phones for work will discover Windows Phone.
This doesn't mean that at all. Automation can produce just as much customization as non customization. I think you're imagining dumb assembly lines. These are very adaptable, programmable production lines that can create lots of customization. Each and every widget can be customized pretty easily, in fact, with less error than human production.
I agree, and it goes even further. How many/.'ers buy everything online, and don't care about their local retail? They are like so many other selfish assholes: they don't care until it personally hurts them. I read this story and shrug my shoulders.
You know, in this day & age, I trust Microsoft more than I trust Google or Amazon. It's very simple: Microsoft has significant revenue streams other than selling your personal data. Amazon and Google don't.
Home and business Internet service needs to be related as a utility in the US. Obama has been trying, but the typical Republican douchbaggery have fought him every inch of the way so that Time Warner/Comcast can continue to make money hand over fist.
Because it's more tax-efficient and potentially higher return for companies to reinvest their profits into new development or acquisition.
I wouldn't debate that. But what's the point of owning a piece of a company if you'll never get a return from it? Stock investing is completely upside-down these days.
Who upvotes this stupid bullshit? Nobody knows that the server was 0wned "many, many". And that conspiracy shit about murders is just dumb. Infowars dumb.
Seems like you're a bit slow, so I'll explain. It's hard to believe that people are so stupid to pay $159 for headphones. It's hard to believe that people are so stupid as to vote for Trump. There's a parallel.

This is important! What chat app are pre-teen girls going to use for the next few months?!?! Such uncertainty! Such turmoil! How will we survive this?
free market people as opposed to corporatist
You need to pick up an economics textbook. Or a history textbook.

Billy boy, sorry, but you're wrong about one thing, at least. The Metro interface is *awesome* on the phone. I don't like it on the desktop, though.
Some could argue that they never caught up.

This administration has provided zero proof of Russia's involvement nor motive.
Are you fucking stupid? No motive? Really?
Good info! I'm using this list as a basis for researching what companies to invest in.
... says the AC troll. Are you guys paid to do this kind of shit, or do you think it's funny?
Yeah, a bunch of untrained bumpkins with shotguns and handguns against a militarized police force. That would work out well.
The police in this country already murder with impunity.
They won't riot and burn cities down. They'll be slaughtered by the "police". Poor people in the US are *fucked*.

Stop it. Next thing you know, an AC will suggest that companies pay dividends again.
I would imagine that you're not employed.
Shopping locally doesn't have this particular problem.
"Evil"? Grow up, kid. Their software has run millions of businesses (including the one I work for) for decades.
Saying "certainly" doesn't make anything any more true.
To explain it to US readers, they're basically becoming Germany's Mexicans.
The hard-working blue-collar engine of the economy? Good for y'all! Have they started opening up good Syrian restaurants, yet?

$159 for headphones? How stupid are people? Oh wait...
Trump.
