Believe it or not, advertising existed (in fact, flourished) before there were "clicks". Billboards don't have eyeball counters and attempts to measure exposure to print, radio & TV ads via circulation/ratings are primitive at best.
Because it costs Amazon virtually nothing and it is in their best interest to both make things easy for their vendors (more $ for Amazon) and stop those vendors from using outside hosting services (less $ for competitors to AWS). Win-win. Not everything is a zero-sum game.
True, but iOS 2.0 also ran on the first gen iPhone. So was it an actual change in strategy, or was it just buying time until the app store was ready. We may never know.
For the sake of brevity, headlines don't follow standard grammar rules, which creates ambiguity in this case. The headline could mean "Amazon [was] granted a patent" or it could also mean "Amazon granted a patent [to someone else]". The unambiguous way to state it in 4 words is "Patent granted to Amazon" which can only mean "[A] patent [was] granted to Amazon".
So you believe that ISPs and tech manufacturerers should bend the knee and install backdoors when requested by the NSA/CIA/FBI/KGB?
You don't need to break the law to protest. If Gmail, Facetime, FB Messenger, etc went offline in the UK on the day the government required encryption backdoors, that would send a pretty friggin strong message without breaking the law (a bigger message than if they just disobeyed the law and kept their encryption in place).
I don't think this is targeting the small number of people with rooted Android phones; it's targeting the large (and growing) number of people who use Android-OS-based TV boxes running Kodi with unauthorized streaming plug-ins (a.k.a. "Kodi Boxes").
Next up on Slashdot: Kim Kardashian offers her wisdom on cyber security. If Hollywood douchebags are on your side, maybe you should reconsider your positions.
I agree wholeheartedly. If we start putting reality TV stars in positions of power, our country is truly screwed.
I thought they killed it (along with iGoogle) to force people over to Google+?
Whatever the reason, I moved over to Feedly and still use it daily. Unfortunately, Yahoo Pipes (which I used to automatically filter some of the more verbose feeds) is also gone with no viable replacement.
If you never have to pay anything more beyond the "purchase" price, then it's not renting; renting means that you make regular payments in return for continued use of the item or service in question.
I only pay once when I rent a car. Paying monthly (when you don't own) is leasing. Paying once (when you don't own) is renting.
The Bell System wasn't "deregulated", it was broken up by anti-trust REGULATIONS because it was a monopoly. Long-distance prices decreased and local service fees increased.
I'm not saying there's no market for an Xbox Phone, but keep in mind that Sony has pretty much given up on the Vita and even Nintendo is struggling in the portable market. Android and iOS didn't just kill every other phone, they also put a serious dent in the portable games market (not to mention MP3 players, low end cameras, personal organizers and if you include tablets, even the laptop market).
We live in a society that expects everyone to work, but what will happen when there are no jobs? Crime?
Sorry, crime has been outsourced to foreign hackers. Besides, prisoners get free food and shelter, we just can't afford that kind of socialist welfare state any more.
Extreme poverty? Mass protests?
Check. Check. Also a mass exodus of refugees heading to robotless countries.
Political or religious extremism?
OR? We should be so lucky to have only one or the other.

It's sad that I can no longer tell the difference between sarcastic anti-Trump posts and sincere pro-Trump posts. We live in a post-sarcasm world.

Maybe the code being tested was a Salami Slicing exploit and the programming had just watched Superman III (but not Office Space).
I'm imagining a hard drive riddled with undeletable files and folders created by apps that failed to uninstall correctly.

Programmers who use spaces are more likely to lie about how much money they make.
Yes, constitutional amendments can never be changed. That's why we still have prohibition. (see 18th amendment)
It didn't happen when Regan was shot by a crazy guy, I wouldn't count on it happening now.
Easy to see why he was a hero to Steve Jobs.
A statement I make everyday about Trump and his cabinet.

I wonder if it is fully compatible with the wide range of viruses, trojans, worms and other vulnerabilities that Windows NT supports?
also, doctors don't break into your house in the middle of the night to give you a vaccine (and snoop around your house while they're there).

A spokesman for the henhouse comfirmed that he's thinking of replacing the roosters with "chicken experts" (i.e. foxes).
I agree wholeheartedly. If we start putting reality TV stars in positions of power, our country is truly screwed.
Elon Musk to the rescue!

Unfortunately it also means a game could get "cancelled" before it's complete if there aren't enough players to support it.
