A user serviceable mac, LOL you'll sooner find a user serviceable Iphone. To get what you want will never happen, pretty soon they will seal the entire thing in the case just like a phone. If you want to do anything to it its basically destroyed, Apple specifically doesn't want anyone touching anything inside of their tech. Don't fix it, just buy a new one is basically their motto.
Ok, I get is technically 2 screens, but I just think that is the stupidest marketing idea ever. When you say 2 screens, I want 2 screens that are relatively the same size as each other, not one, and some sliver that can only display 4-5 icons stuck up above it. I'd be okay if they called it something else like notification bar or something, but don't call it a second screen.
Current ford v8's already do not pass most of the emissions standards, but are legal to sell because Ford as a manufacturer has certain limit they can go on various areas, so they still have a small number of them. Going forward the new limits specifically say how much soot and other various chemicals are allowed, and the v8's can not pass. The only thing I can think of is if they did something similar to the diesel engines where they have a particulate filter that gets burned out on a regular basis, but I don't see that make sense for cars.
I've alway been a fan of ford, but they have been dragging ass for a long time, only just barely innovating for the last few years. I'm glad they finally realize that they are going to need to really start pulling more into electric and hybrids. I think the biggest thing pushing them is actually emissions. From my understanding it's impossible for a big V8 to pass the new emissions regulations that will be even more stringent next few years.
This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of, if the wanted to set up mobile warehouses they could very very easily do it with maybe custom 40ft ISO shipping containers. Lets use their example of a sporting event, there are already mobile trailers setup outside of stadiums at every game selling shirts, you could sell alot of shirts out of a 40ft iso box. They could also make their own custom 53ft trailers, they can be setup like mini stores, with steps one side or more, and even an area could be made as a stock room. The systems are already in place to move them, and plus they could be restocked much more quickly and easily than a freaking blimp, once they are empty just move them back to the ware house and load them up.
Yes, google really screwed up on this year, they literally built a iphone clone, running android, and got rid off all the things that made their phones great, including the name.
There is a difference between owning a truck and trailer and running under someone else's authority, and running under your own. Getting a truck is easy, its all the licensing and other regulations that are too much, I own a small trucking firm with 25 trucks, there are 5 million things that I do that drivers and owner operators have no idea need to be done. Moving the freight is the easy part, it's making sure you are in line with all the regulations is the hard part.
Basically Amazon is going to put up a load board, similar to truckstop.com or many other similar sites. Trucking is pretty much as streamlined as it's going to get, in reality they want to get people to move their freight as cheap as possible, and if they can get some kind of a commission on other freight by being the broker then it's a win for them. Right now Amazon is pretty much going to expand into everything possible because they need to keep expanding, so they will be experimenting with various industries, I wouldn't be surprised if they started selling their own branded TV's, laptops, refrigerators, washers, dryers, or pretty much anything you have in the house soon.
What do you mean when the driver work force starts shrinking, it has been shrinking for at least 5 years now. It is one of the few industries where you'll get hired almost on the spot as long as you can pass a drug test. The problem, is that it is seen as a low class job, so few people go into it, even though it is better paying than alot of industries.
That has always amazed me about other countries, I was born in Poland, but have grown up in the US from a very young age. When ever I go back to Poland, I only get treated by people I know closely like a local, but I consider myself an american. When every I go anywhere touristy I most people speak english to me before I've ever said a word. In the US after a few years you can become a citizen, in many other countries it takes generations, in the US everyone comes from somewhere else originally so it doesn't matter where you were from as long as you want to be and are a citizen now, I guess.
I think Microsoft killed some sales of the xbox by announcing the Scorpio too early, I know quite a few people that are waiting off just to get the Scorpio.
I agree with you mostly, but I think that some people also what a good mid ranged handset. I have the Nexus 5x and I don't think I could find a better phone for the price when it came out, or even today. I just want something that is quick, all around not bad and I don't want to pay $600 ever year or even two for a new damn phone. For $700-$800 a flagship smart phone cost I could get a not too shabby laptop, phones really should not cost as much as they do. Google really messed up this year with the pixel, the killed one of the main points of the phone, historically they have not been extremely expensive, or like last year there were 2 models, one being a good midrange price.
Mobile will never fully replace the PC market, yes your phone might have plenty of CPU power, but when you get to your office you're not going to work on massive spread sheets or do hours of data entry on it. Phones and tablets might replace most PC's for home use, but they are realistically just a supplement to the pc's of the business world.
Yes, but now everyone must immediately post to facebook and text everyone they know that they are ok, should any crisis of any sort happen. Such as stubbing their toe on something, all the way up to terrorist attack.
Yes but 14 accidents per 2 million miles is basically nothing. If you take truck stats, which is all I could find I could find because it's a nation wide stat, in 2012 there were 77000 crashes with injuries, on 268,000,000 miles, of those 3802 were fatal crashes.
This sucks, the whole point of buying the google is they didn't have anything on top of the stock android. Looks like I'm keeping my 5x for a good while.
Doesn't this embarrass you, America? Don't you feel ashamed that this is what you've become?.
So seriously live in another country for a while, or just try dealing with stuff in somewhere in Europe or Africa, then tell me how shitty it is in the USA.
I was born in poland and I go back every year, dealing with anyone on any level of the government there makes me want to pull my hair out. People bitch about the DMV or IRS in the US, but they are awesome compared to most of the things I've had to deal with in Poland, you almost need a lawyer to come with you just so you can get an ID card, the bureaucracy is horrible.

You forget that someone at the university will probably get the exact same amount saved, as their, or added to their bonus next year.

Because with out vulgarity or what ever else they are censoring the films then become boring as shit.
They are not, no one is, not the drivers, and not Uber apparently.

Scorpio is the codename for the supposedly fully 4K Xbox one that is supposed to come out next fall.
I think Microsoft killed some sales of the xbox by announcing the Scorpio too early, I know quite a few people that are waiting off just to get the Scorpio.
That's right because IBM never sold anything to NAZI Germany before WWII.

Yes, I totally see that, it's actually kind of fugly.

Every single country shits on every other one, don't think that is limited to the USA.
