To explain myself, in a Texas Highschool I was sentenced to In School Suspension INDEFINITELY with my laptop confiscated for having shortcuts to directories on the network that I "shouldn't have had access to." After about a

It is definitely profiling and I bet his race had a lot to do with it. But I think the same thing would've happened if I had brought such a device to school - having been a super dark dressed goth in school, the fear would've been

As much of a Google fanboy as I am, I must admit that Apple is a market leader when it comes to UX. I do hope Google was taking some notes during this keynote. Siri's interaction in Apple TV is far superior than Android TV's Goog

I have too but requiring my finger to be touched (over top of the message) doesn't seem like it'll benefit. The shortcuts are nice, though.

Man you and I have a very different Netflix experience. I generally bounce off Netflix when I realize they don't have what I want to watch. I also very rarely browse it for content to watch as that takes _forever_. Their strength the

Well, there's a couple things here: * Universal Search - which they're doing with everything else - the user is trying to find a very specific content. * Recommended Shows - the user is looking for things to Watch Netflix could ea

Very curious as to the intuitiveness of the variations in tapping. 3D Touch seems neat.. but I'd have to use it personally to know whether or not its a revolution, or an Amazon Fire Phone-esque gimmick.

This isn't Google's doing. Android TV's universal search is open to everyone. Netflix simply doesn't plug into any of the Android TV features. * Universal Search (nope) * Recommended to Watch (nope) * Using your phon

The iPhone DID bring something new to the table though. It brought a LOT of new to the table. Apple TV just.. doesn't.

by Navarr 11y ago
I hope so. I hope it also goads them into improving the search experience on it. Perhaps a lot of what Apple showed off is already developed into Now on Tap (part of Android 6). Hard to know, though. Haven't seen any android blogs re

I want to agree but the problem with that on this is that it can be gamed by buying one month, using that until a feature entices you, and then buying another month.

I wonder if that's part of the reason to move to subscription? To improve funding for that area? If you operate on perpetual licenses you have to support that software and find a way to get people to purchase again - via new features

I am a huge fan of "The Last Question." For those who have not yet seen it, it's worth listening to the author's reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3U30wSAV4Q

Technically uBlock is working perfectly.

Of course not, you're turning off most of the features of the Operating System. Normal people don't want to disable their OS.

I use it fairly often. Using Google for everything it's started to pick up my habits. It'll show me when webcomics I regularly visit are updated (although that's a 0% on the useful scale since I either have them registered i

Yes, thank you. Though honestly the people who really do care about this will see the coming year as year of the Linux desktop. And to me it seems like a lot of HNers care that Windows is sending all this telemetry. (Aren't we the sa

2016 is the year of desktop linux. For the kind of people who care about this sort of thing. Also puts "Scroogle" into perspective.
