Agreed. I never really thought about it, but currently, is there any security at all? For example, is there anything to stop a 6 year old from ordering a ton of stuff?

"Updates to the same basic design would make sense. An all-new design would make sense. Getting out of the Mac Pro game would make sense. Selling 1000-day old pro workstations at the same prices as in 2013 makes no sense. Whatever the

I recently became interested in digital note taking and commonplace books, but I haven't started yet because I can't decide what software to use. Can you tell me how you are generating your notes?

I seriously doubt we will ever encounter intelligent extraterrestrial life. There are a lot of obstacles - the distances involved, the fragility of life, and the fact that not every intelligent life-form will develop advanced technology. Al

Not directed at you personally - but I wish people would stop fetishizing https. Not everything needs to be encrypted.

I almost liked it better when we needed Flash for video and audio, because now with HTML5, I continuously run into website abusing the feature for advertising. (Whoever decided to use autoplay video and audio for web advertising should be k

In the 80's, the was a comic by Howard Chaykin called America Flagg. In the comic, the main character Ruben Flagg loses his job in a TV series because he is replaced by computer generated version of himself. Seems to me that we are get

My wife and I just saw this and we both didn't care for it. Otherwise, I enjoyed the move too.

This is why I have stopped buying things from Amazon. I feel uncomfortable buying from a company that treats its employees this way.

Their credibility was shot for me once they decided to release the DNC materials in a piece-meal fashion in order to affect a national election. At that point, I lost all respect for them.

The way he has spoken about the press, his stated desired to make libel easier, and his thin-skinned reactions to criticism - I do believe there is a slim chance he could try to damage press freedoms. Hopefully, it will all turn out to be m

Honestly, this is why I have always avoided Android devices: because there are too many variances. - some you can root, some you can't. - some have 3rd party junk, some don't. - some get updates, some don't. Being a fan of fr
