    I'm 42 and the original it was canon for me. Can't wait to stream this as theaters are to pricey IMHO and they don't pause the movie for me while I take my needed bio breaks.

    I heard that in order to bring us larger screens, thinner phones and battery life, Apple is removing the Home Button from the iPhone 8 and using the Apple Watch as it's replacement. They did something like this last year, but with the headphone jack and did not offer a replacement.

  9. I'd pay $20/month for all their movies on Netflix Co-Founder's Crazy Plan: Pay $10 a Month, Go to the Movies All You Want (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Netflix has tons of DVD movies that should be copied to a SAN and made available to us viewers. I'd gladly pay $20 a month to access nearly every movie and TV show ever made. I'm not really interested in going to a physical theater to watch a movie. My home set up is quite nice and features a pause button for bio-breaks.

  12. Re:Yes on 'Windows 10 Is Failing Us' (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Windows 7 was Microsoft's peak OS. I don't understand why they don't release an official skin for Windows 10 called Windows 7 Classic. They can keep all their spyware and telemetry software hidden underneath if they absolutely insist. For now I use Classic Shell to keep my Windows 10 box somewhat usable. P.S. - Is there any way we can blame Millennials for the design of Windows 10?

    Why didn't Amazon buy Kroger? They have much larger market penetration. Amazon is sitting nearly unlimited cash. Whole Foods is a place where upper-middle-class people can waste their money on goods that may, or may not, be worth the cost. I watched South Park and I have shopped at Wholefoods. They portrayed Wholefoods exactly as it is. Overpriced, agenda driven and snooty.

    The thing that really grinds my gears about the Best Buy + FBI partnership is that most of the "Geeks" on the Geek Squad are probably easily motivated by the $100(?) bonus the FBI would give them for finding illegal porn on the customer's computer. They may have been so motivated that they could just put some illegal porn on the customer's computer and called up some of Comey's minions for the reward. What's stopping them from doing that?
