Yeah, I heard the infightings between Maemo/MeeGo and Symbian teams weren't very nice...

It leaves you in control. You can do anything with the OS, install anything, develop anything for it. Without an iTunes/Google/MS account. It's not limited to some proprietary connection over USB. There are so many things...

If I could choose between a touch-only sleek smartphone and modernised version of N95 with all its original features, I'd definitely go with the N95.

Security architecture of iOS, as far as I know, is that same as that of WP - close everything. That inherently means that it's a lot less capable than it could be. >There simply isn't room in the marketplace for more than three

Well, sure. If you consider how nice an OS looks and how many "apps" there are for it the main parameter of "capability of an OS", then iOS is definitely more capable.

>Nokia needed a better operating system for its phones to match Apple’s iOS I strongly disagree. Symbian just needed a few optimisation, which it got. It got them too late, but it did. Maemo/MeeGo was probably more capable than iOS

Well, I've been waiting for the "final nail to the coffin" and I got a shank... Oh well, at least there are alternatives, like SeaMonkey, Vivaldi, Otter... or I might just start using Pale Moon. ...as a secondary browser to O

I don't see VR becoming popular in terms of gaming with current control schemes. Only games where the character actually sits in a chair (so basically only simulators) are somewhat viable, but I'd still prefer to see my hands and

In the Czech Republic, if you buy a stolen car and the police finds out it's was stolen, it will be taken from you. No refunds.

Well, nonsense in the article aside, sure you can, but only for isolated personal use. As for myself, I've actively been avoiding all of them. Not because "everything FOSS is better", but because none of them are someone I li

That's one way to interpret it, no doubt. But as I said, the vagueness is a part of the problem (as I see it anyway).

Ah, first step to consumer OLED PC screens maybe? I've been waiting for that for years already.

And it has neither Windows nor WP client. Oh, and you can't send all kinds of files over it.

What, that some people can't even look at the settings [1] of the client? This is getting pretty pathetic. I really don't think people expect complete security and privacy from anyone ever, that's impractical and probably imp

Well, from what I heard it wasn't profitable. Amusingly enough, the navigation in my Cadillac is now maintained by a company owned by the German car makers.

Aww, I was looking for another display of the Maori war dance.

What do you mean? They simply aren't looking (well, they pretend they are) for a job and they are living of welfare money. It's not exactly hard to abuse it in a lot of countries, really.

>Also, you don't quite grasp what "anecdotal evidence" means in a scientific context. Really? Please explain. And what I meant was that the two questions are very, very close. Does alcohol encourage alcoholism?

I know there's a big gap between the two. But again, given the duration, amount, and variety of the "heat", at least something tangible would be nice. What if it remains like this for another year? Ten years? Fifty years? Wil

Considering the amount of heat Telegram is receiving, I'd expect someone to demonstrate eavesdropping by now. Aren't they using "their own" crypto just on top of standard methods?

Funny word that "encourage", right? In modern English it can mean anything from "allows something" to "literally tells you to do something". My conclusion was that the welfare abuser stereotype absolutely does

Well, the headlines in regular news outlets are completely different. Something along the lines of "The terrorist have been using encrypted 'app', were stopped by owners".

Considering this or the other blogpost about Telegram "waving their math PhDs" is under literally every Telegram-related comment section I've ever been in on HN, I think people know.
