To be honest I personally don't see a problem with the long ads in front of what I watch. I prefer them instead of the video being chopped up by a bunch of pop up ads that drive me crazy. They block out images that I'm trying to see. It's like a movie theatre equivalent of someone in the row in front of you getting up every 6 minutes to block your view. For example, some of the new video game commercial previews are pretty good,
Would it be possible for a fee, that they could give you an officially deceased account paper letter? Could that way assure that other's could not use your account to steal?
As much as I like technology, Linus is right. It is self-serving.. Instead of helping you: Our daily life gets harder as time passes on, with to much more information demanded from you, more means to monitor you at work, and a ton of mail to process when you get home.
Another ad strategy that burns me up is the screen goes dark and an ad pops up before you can read the page. I barely get to read a few words!! These sites get me so angry that I leave.. I understand you need revenue and I do click on some ads that address my needs or wants, or are simply interesting.. I don't mind side ads that scroll up together with each page. I don't mind a well placed long partition ad.
Even when I go into valleys in certain spots of an area I can lose the signal on my phone. Cellular towers are line of site transmission. And in the future, if they put a new tall building between the tower and where you live, you might have problems.
Regarding towers: And don't forget solar flare disruptions. Even lightning. And believer it or not, wind can affect reception sometimes. It also makes me wonder who's is going to fare better during an earthquake?
Sometimes streaming get erratic or just quits when I'm listening to some of my favorite commentators. Since the same show is broadcasted on AM I have turned to my radio to hear the rest of the program.
It's not a perfect solution by any means, just a patch: Anchor lightweight floating objects in the polar circle to reflect the light back into space and cool the water. Find a material with tolerance of freezing. Maybe it won't be ice, but it will possibly sustain the old pathways of cold ocean water (and polar vortex air?) that used to exist before this calamity happened.
In the old days they used to put a limit on what kind of car and how much horsepower you could legally have on the road for this reason. So you don't have the potential to kill people. Not only drinking - Emotions of: Anger, being late, frustrated in a traffic jam are all triggers. 0-60 in 5 seconds was pretty dam fast when the 1960's cars came out.. But there was little traffic then, No bikers blowing stop signs. Or pedestrians crossing the road without even looking both ways before they cross anywhere. (You used to get ticketed for 'jay walking.')... If you want that kind of acceleration, join quarter mile racing and get it out of your system.
What is to stop a programmer with a chip on his shoulder from holding back the better ideas on the product. Finish his work at the company. And repackaging and selling it as a greater "different" product?
The H1B's with the PhD, come and get a job. The US worker who paid for his PhD gets kicked out. How is the US worker going to pay off the cost of going to College?
It's a pity how they never concentrate on enhancing the cooperation between man and machine. More accuracy, productivity, less strain for repetitive tasks, help when brute force or super strength is needed, are just but a few advantages. It's like two people trying to do a task; When person A. has strengths that B. does not, A does it. When person B. has strengths that A. does not, B. does it.

Would I be out of line to propose that everyone pays a fair price for all media and then can get it free? Just a thought..
Taxes keep everything running and repaired. If they don't pay taxes, you will!!
Where's the competition if everyone is buddies with each other? Doesn't this kill innovation?
I certainly hope that they have an emergency off button somewhere within the vehicle. If the car goes crazy, you are helpless.
I understand privacy. That decision was good. I hope the court does not set a precedent to personal filming in public.
Sorry about this comment it went to the wrong subject somehow.

It makes me wonder if this "control thing" gets so bad, that people use and share line of site transmitters with each other to make their own nets.
Do you actually trust you stuff with the cloud??
Agreed. They just soften it so the public does not panic. SuperKendall you got it right!

Future earth sound like a better name.
Thank you markdavis! For this very reason I avoid videos and read instead. Video is a time waster.

Hey, what about all this renewable energy? Gasoline, jet fuel, diesel biofuel? And don't forget, self-healing cement!!
