There is a glut of games, for sure, with no easy way to filter them and no promise of a game I will actually enjoy. Has there ever been a time of the "promise of a game I will actually enjoy"? Back in the day all you had was rar

My interpretation is that even if the people who are technically savvy in that specific area, if they have times they won't deal with encrypted information, how often are non-technical people going to want to deal with it?

During the first few days we were at a loss for what to do. It had been our routine to watch whatever is on TV after dinner, and suddenly we were both dumbstruck for ideas. So we went to sleep at 8:30 p.m. Two things about this confuse me

People want more robust hosting, lower costs, and less dependence on centralized services. The people outside of tech circles that I know just want images to show up and they don't want to pay for them. I guess that those would fall

It's funny because I felt Vista was perfectly fine as an OS, whereas ME was almost unusable (with the stability issues you mentioned). Vista was just boring, not great, but it worked. So it surprises me that so many people were frustra

I ran into that issue when my Nexus 5X died to the bootloop issue. It was enough of a pain that I just gave up and use Authy with the remote backup enabled. I've dealt with phones dying/being lost on three separate occasions and r

However when you have millions of people hating you and very few defending you then there are usually a good reason to it, otherwise they don't unite like that. There is usually a "reason" people get riled up online, whethe

Do you have a link to the article explaining how little of the work she actually did on the project? It would be interesting to read that to counter-balance this one.

No? It says Amazon is cutting back on the "Sold by Amazon.com" items and pushing those items onto the marketplace, and only sticking to directly selling items from large manufacturers.

Also of note is that this won't do anything to address the criticisms of rampant counterfeit and/or garbage quality products on the marketplace. If anything it will only make it worse, as many of shrinking number of items sold b
