I'm curious what their latest behaviour is after they were caught installing spyware on their PCs. That is a bigger reason to not buy a brand than anything else in my mind, unless I only care about the hardware because I'm going

I would love to see a summary of what's been happening in Beijing. What are their policies? Because Beijing air has apparently been awesome these days for the entire winter. My friends who live in Beijing confirm this for me. In th

Indeed, the target market especially is the type of market that will especially appreciate and pay for the type of work that goes into making this book. Someone tweet at that man.

I've had zero accidents in my entire phone-owning life since 2004, including 3 smartphones. I still prefer the safety of cases. To me, you don't sound sanctimonious, you sound arrogant and risk-seeking. To each their own, I gue

I really would prefer not to pay extra hundreds of dollars just so that I don't need to choose the cheap option for repair in order to keep my warranty. But it is what it is.

I would expect someone with your train of thought to especially want to buy a case. I'm curious why you take the risk? There are circumstances beyond your control and ability to predict sometimes. Ever mind your own business on the

Because I'm so scared of getting cracked screens from accidentally dropping my phone, I'll usually get a heavy-duty case (I like the tech21 cases) to protect my phone. This pretty much nullifies anything about the aesthetics of t

I'm not sure why you keep ignoring what I wrote, and I'm not sure why I keep replying at this point. A lot of trainers recommend burpees. They're not random Internet suggestions. They also recommend burpees because there a

Thanks. That's good information. That being said, if someone is injured or so out of shape that burpees would put too much pressure on their back, I imagine that normal exercise theory should not apply to them. I suppose they need t

Per my above comment, should I accept what anyone has to say about random things without asking themselves to explain themselves, including allegations about why it's not good for the wrist, and how it puts the spine in an improper pos

This didn't explain to me why you shouldn't do burpees. So I clicked on the article to see if you had missed quoting the meat of the guy's point. Found out... nope, you got it. So we shouldn't do burpees because it ca

Russell Peters is fantastic at this in his comedy routines. He'll make a joke about some culture and pretend to speak their language, but it'll actually all be gibberish. My friend's family has a Hong Kong background. Frie

The same way they investigate individuals or businesses they suspect of lying on their tax returns. Look for suspicious patterns, investigate records, reward guilty ones with fines or jail time.

What's cromulent mean? I looked it up at dictionary.com and couldn't find anything. Or are you making up more words to point out the irony? :)

That appears more to do with Apple prioritizing iOS over macOS, not deprioritizing security and privacy. Not that this explanation is any more acceptable.

Interesting, but I think that data would be only semi-useful for marketers. Situations change, needs change, and for some things, on a frequent basis. I imagine most users are disinterested in constantly going into their preferences to upda

The way the NSA keeps their zero-day tools in a secure locked box so that they'll never be leaked into the wild and be used for things like WannaCry?

Most of which are funded by selling ads, and then feed back into the cycle though, right? But I'm not as cynical as gp about it.

I'm not an American, so I don't know. How much of Equifax's business and value was driven by credit checks and anything else having to do with SSNs? Because if the whole SSN system had a $14 billion value, which was then dest

While that's probably true, it's difficult to have a comprehensive individual patient cost comparison because medical issues are so diverse, and some people do indeed consider some issues to not require immediate attention. But I

There are much greater issues at play here and IMO the organizational problems within hospitals are far greater than the technical ones. To be successful hospitals will have to become tech companies. They aren't exactly the hottest pl

Wow, well done. I haven't thought about that. That's interesting food for thought. I guess time will tell.

You have a third group: hungry sharks who saw the feeding frenzy and are tantalizing at ripping the shirts off of the backs of the first two groups.

Looking at his comment, I believe he relied on his experience living in both India and Beijing to make his statement. He also did not say that Beijing hutongs were the same as Indian slums. He said "to a lesser extent" and &quot
