  1. Internet Users on Google, Cuba Sign Deal Allowing Faster Access To Company's Data (go.com) · · Score: 1

    "will grant internet users in the Communist-run country"

    So...all three of them?

  2. The ironic thing is that every time I try to learn PowerShell I can't get past all the security restrictions it puts on me!

  3. Headline should read: "Apple loans U.S. Government money"

  4. Re:Battery Life on Bluetooth 5 Is Here (betanews.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes. You now get 5.5 mintues

  5. I've wanted a Pebble for a while after playing with one in the store. I actually liked it better and the Apple Watch and Android offerings. Sad to see them go. Maybe I can pick one up cheap now.

  6. I seemed to recall reading on Slashdot a few years ago about how the Obama admin was putting this into place

  7. When people are making external graphics cards to connect to your laptops, you're not updating your laptops often enough.

  8. Does it have a headset jack?

  9. Sure, make a prediction that no one will be around to check.

  10. Why not just use a regular usb stick? on A $5 Tool Called PoisonTap Can Hack Your Locked Computer In One Minute (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Sound like a hardware version of a proxy

  11. Re:I've seen this before on 2016 Will Be the Hottest Year On Record, UN Says (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    What's it like working with Al Gore?

  12. Who watches the watcher? on Twitter Says It's Cracking Down on Hate Speech (usatoday.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The problem with this is that it will be up to Twitter to define "hate speech". Is it saying hateful things to someone? Is it threatening someone? Is it saying things they disagree with?

  13. Somebody may be getting sued again...

  14. I could see WhatsApp using this in advertisements to promote that they are so good at spreading information that repressive governments try to shut them down. They could advertise free speech. Wait, aren't they owned by Facebook? Nevermind.

  15. Re:Disclaimer certainty on Microsoft is Bringing Visual Studio To Mac (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    I don't think Microsoft cares as much about Windows. I think they want you to buy their cloud services.

  16. Why blame Trump? on General Motors To Lay Off 2,000 Workers at Two US Plants (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Why not blame, oh, I dunno, G.M.? Maybe their management had something to do with it. This quote from the summary might have something to do with it "Chevrolet Cruze, whose U.S. sales through October were down 20 percent". Why were their sales down? According to Hillary and Obama, the economies great so it could be that. And to say otherwise would be sexists.

  17. The problem with government software is that it is usually designed to do things only the government handles:
    Collect taxes
    Plan road projects
    Route mail
    etc.

  18. Will probably be full of SJW stuff and
    1) Canceled after 3 months
    2) Continue, but no one will watch it

  19. But Obama said the Russians weren't a threat.

  20. How do we know Stephen Hawking isn't an evil mastermind bent on destroying the world? Maybe he's just saying that so we won't develop AI while he secreting develops his own?

  21. Will it run Pokemon Go? Does it have GPS and the other things needed for games like that?

  22. I wonder... on Television Needs To Be Reinvented, Says Apple SVP (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...if Apple has a new product to help with that

  23. Linus's thoughts? on The Linux Foundation Helps Launch the JS Foundation (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder what Linus thinks of Javascript

  24. Re:Nobody knows yet on London To Tech Startups: Please Don't Mind the Brexit Gap (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    "EU is going to want to punish UK severely as a warning to others to not leave"

    I don't think I'd want to be in a union like that.

  25. No child left any time? on Kindergarteners Today Get Little Time To Play, and It's Stunting Their Development (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Could this be a side effect of the "No Child Left Behind", that even though Bush signed was written by Ted Kennedy.
