Well I'd wonder if you informed Google, etc. review services that you got a blackmail threat to do this, could you then sue the review service provider if they did nothing about it? I think you'd have a case. I'll have to

FYI - the "natural preservative" for sausage and meats is celery salt. Guess what celery is natural high in? Nitrites.

Nothing has eternal life. Especially not electronics. And certainly not more advanced semiconductors. The rule-of-thumb is the lifespan of planar CMOS processes in years is proportional to the "node size" in nanometers. So we ar

This is one of my peeves about Apple - it's very clear that the designers of current apps and the WWDC message is to PRESUME 24x7x365 cloud connectivity. This is NOT realistic or available in many cases. I live among farms and I have
