I think they've hit the right note again. When I first saw the model S I thought it was nothing but but an overblown Mondeo. But it's grew on me quickly to the point that it's at the top of my list. There's something und

The Macan? Good looking? Maybe I'm missing something. Any Macan I've seen is ugly as hell. Maybe you mean the new Porsche E vehicle. Also, depends on the like-for-like. I'd be surprised if Porsche release a car which competes

Probably about time a slow down happened. I own a Moto G 3rd Gen. Swift, waterproof, stong-glass, bloat-free, removable battery, memory-upgradable, £150. Does the job I need it to do and, I'd imagine, the job most others need also. (I

Good to see them progressing. I made the switch a year ago having found their results had improved greatly to the point of "good enough". Before that I agree there was a problem. For maybe 2-3% of the time I'll need to revert

If I were her boss, as long as things were reasonable under control, and communication channels were relatively open (say a quick weekly catch-up [considering her seniority]) I'd promote the 12 week'er. What people value most is i

I understand why they are used, but the extent troubles me. I hear it so often sometimes that it's like a flashing command-prompt in a conversation.

On the subject of language overuse: So ... why does everyone start a sentence with "So". Both verbally and in written media. This has bugged me for quite a while. I've also been indoctrinated into it's use. It definitely

Ahh, lovely. What I really like is the strip along the top. I want to use Drive. I click on ... wait for it ... "Drive". Genius ... (not being sarcastic either)

In the title, change "UK" to "Chinese State" and you might not bat an eyelid. The democracy we have is a Frankenstein version of the democracy many think we have. And in the same way you would hesitate at calling Franken

Let me decide that. I accept your point but having Apple iNanny watching over my shoulder is boring as hell. (disclaimer: I don't own an iPhone and cannot see that happening in the near term).

Cheap shot. I could describe countless communications where the supposed tech-warrior-wizard didn't record accurate notes, didn't listen properly, didn't respond and ... later, this all conspired to ensure that they didn'

I don't know, I took it to be a more simpler commentary which made sense to me. It's possible to be basically nice (firm, strong in your dealings, smart, deal-making, but nice all the same). Instead of being an archetypal asshole.

It's not airbnb's fault but if found to be true why wouldn't airbnb simply de-list them? It's like being a CEO and finding out that one of your employees or contractors is engaging in illegal activity. They get fired. Si

Anecdote: host from hell. We stayed in an airbnb in Amsterdam. Looked decent. However, we spent the first evening coordinating getting the shower fixed as it was overflowing. C'est la vie, win some lose some. Ok. After that, when tryin

It just gets worse. Can someone with more knowledge than I please give an opinion: Does the iphone or cyanogenmod do this? Are there any alternative phones/OS's which don't share your data? Thanks,

Potentially. Right now, I have more faith in a specialist small company (e.g. Smugmug [disclaimer, no affiliation]) which charges for their product than Google who offer it for free ... and then, not ... and then ... repackaged ... and then

I would suggest that: 1) It isn't the same situation. The level of corruption and absolute poverty levels are not comparable. 2) Where there are similarities in "first world" countries (e.g. empty housing stock), eyes are ver
