Seems better than them posting judgemental "I'm better than you" comments on slashdot.
Why do you think it's so cheap to manufacture over there? hint: Less regulation. You get either environmentally safe expensive manufacturing or cheap earth destroying manufacturing.
Thank you. I told people at work left and right to just go to the NHC site, read the "Discussion" link on the page specific to the storm. No BS media hype there, you get about as raw information as there is.
The storm surge came 1/4 mile inland across the coast of Connecticut. They evacuated that area and there were few fatalities for that reason. Sounds like they did the right thing based on the information they had. The storm also tracked further to the west than initially predicted which caused rainfall totals to be lower. (At least on the east side of the storm.)
This is Slashdot, where Google and Android are to be routinely bashed. Logic and reason are to be left at the door. Apple could do the same thing and be praised to high heaven for it.

Feel free to ignore them then. I'd rather know that something could happen, even if there was nothing I could do about it.
If you were so concerned with keeping your data secure why the hell did you send all of it to Google in the first place? via desktop or phone?
Shh, that doesn't make Google and Android look bad.
Just nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be su.... oh right.
So? Is there a relevant point somewhere in there?
You cared enough to open the article and post.... Just sayin..
The Massachusetts government is completely controlled by Democrats with a few token Republicans. Guess that puts a dent in your trolling huh?

Because the cheapass lazy corporations core business probably isn't web browser development.
It's not about the version number, it's the "not-supported" part that's the issue.
Hey look, Slashdot is shitting on Android again. What a freaking surprise.
