You can easily tell this because it uses the Monster position that they changed the world with Beats, however when Beats dropped them as the manufacturer they also tried suing and lost...
How many people even knew Microsoft was in the music business? The top companies for purchasing music are Apple, Google, and Amazon. It's highly unlikely there could have been space for a fourth.
Microsoft was in the business before Google and Amazon, their music pass was one of the earliest 10-years ago. Isn't the very fact you're asking who knew MS was in the business indicative of the problem?
Had Microsoft decided to put their music & video software on Android early, there is a good chance they could have had some market share before Google was able to secure its own agreements. Heck, video is still not available.
You're simply wrong on the notion of it not being as essential. The vast overwhelming majority of all PCs sold at retail come with Windows on them. The vast overwhelming majority of PCs sold to businesses do as well. It is as relevant to the average person as a refrigerator, only with a vastly shorter life span. As long as they get vendors of relevant software to keep pushing users to newer versions of Windows, they're set for the rest of nearly forever.
This is a straw man argument, there is a huge difference between PCs being sold with Windows and it being essential to users. The most commonly used software by a huge margin is the web browser, if you're honest and consider what the average person does on their PC you'd realize ChromeOS is sufficient.
If you read up on McKinsey it reads like a crackpot cult. Unfortunately a lot of CEOs listen to and hire McKinsey - these clowns are also responsible for insurance companies lowballing payouts and delaying claims - http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/e...
It may be of interest that Sundar Pichai CEO of Google is a former McKinsey.
I think the perf issue is that many users would look at a 30-40$ SD card say f that and buy the $8 one in the dollar store. Then blame their phone for being slow & corrupting data.
Opposite boat - the only reason I have a subscription is so my parents & sibling can use it. Would have cancelled several years ago otherwise, can rarely find anything worth watching.
Take it from someone who has run Windows on Macbooks from work since 2010 - don't do it. Apple intentionally cripples battery life and provides half-assed drivers.
Agreed - its more than just their phones their entire product line has become egregiously expensive.
If we recount their popular and successful products - Nexus 7, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Chromecast, Cardboard. Whats the common factor? A good product at a great price.
Are you sure its the Pixel not the speaker? The only time my Nexus 6p chops is with an inexpensive aftermarket car stereo, and even then usually when its in the far pocket with my arm resting on it.
I think you're overestimating the need for the SD storage - for non-technical people its more complex to manage, it can affect performance and it turned out to not be necessary for most users. As someone who buys the base storage on every mobile device I've only run out of storage once - a 2-year old tablet when I downloaded a bunch of video for a trip.
I would point out that while you spending 100-200, you seem to be changing phones pretty frequently. Since 2012 I've only had two phones, and expect another 1.5 years out of the Nexus 6P (had 3+ on the Nexus 4 before that). Though given the inflated Pixel prices I'm not sure what I'll do next time around.
What? I literally said they could use a faraday cage because they couldn't use a jammer. One wonders about your technical acumen in general since you apparently consider a faraday cage a jammer.
Cinemas aren't likely to be able to setup a jammer which doesn't have an effect outside the theatre - if they were serious about blocking signal they'd build a faraday cage.
Jails could also just setup stingrays and intercept all devices....

Or (c) thinking people need to wage a war against the constant PR articles coming out of the pathetic excuse for tech press that exists today.
I suspect if you looked at most of the deeper topics the readers are likely students for whom the content is relevant.
I never agreed to or was consulted about
Why do you think the Wikipedia community needs your personal blessing?

Normal books aren't waterproof either....

Probably things like bookmark and tab sharing

Oreo runs fine on the Nexus 6P. I did find Nougat slow on the Nexus 9 though which is 2gb.
There is a point of diminishing returns, on the PC for day-to-day use RAM requirements definitely stalled out.
Your higher brain functions are clearly missing and your face looks like a dumpster fire. No disrespect, just fact.

What are you doing that needs more 4gb of RAM exactly? With 3gb I don't see any issues from swapping.

Overpriced?! They added a button for their assistant, thats worth at least a $50 markup.

Is it even disposable income? Aren't most phones still spread out over a couple years effectively masking the real price from users?
I'm annoyed with the constant dick sucking by technical journalists with limited technical knowledge. See also Elon Musk.
