  3. Great Hardware - Bad OS and Software on The Great Tablet Gold Rush Is Over (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    The sensors, screen, processor, resolution can be astounding... ...But getting anything done other than consumption on a tablet or cellphone is a daunting frustrating process, with limited, underwhelming software, and operating systems that can't work, only play.

    No files and folders on IOS.
    No backspace key on the Android virtual keyboards.
    Constant nagging and notifications.
    A culture of constant app spying and insane permissions.
    Devices with operating systems that aren't even supported for 3 years, in spite of reaching the end of Moores Law.
    Utter dependence on the cloud for ordinary things.

    If you have work to do a 1990s desktop computer will eat many modern cellphones or tablets computer for lunch.

    Just put an line-input jack on the stock radio, and make the radio opening is a standard replaceable size, and stop fucking around with it.

    It's a car--not a information center. Even GPS may be replaced someday. Are we just supposed to throw our car out because the some codec or protocol isn't supported in your stupid hackmagnet monstrosity of pointless obsolescence and seething complication?

    Value Isn't in the Chips, but in the fact that you are less likely to need a less cantankerous dual-CPU motherboard for doing workstation chores such as CAD, Design, Photoshop, Video editing, and moderate raytracing.

  24. Demand Dissapear? Yea, Right! HA-HA. on Canada's Energy Superpower Status Threatened As World Shifts Off Fossil Fuel (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    The only way the demand for fossil fuels will disappear: is if a great segment of the world's population would die or disappear from a nuclear war.
