Agreed. "There's no obvious market for X" could also mean "all versions of X have sucked so far". I'm not a VR enthusiast—I don't own any headsets, and will probably not be buying this one—but this is a pr

Yeah, I'm somewhere between "that's fucking expensive" and "if it can legitimately replace a monitor for hours on end, that might well justify the price." I'll admit one sticking point for me is the lack o

I'm personally highly skeptical of the claims he's making—or that extraterrestrials are here in any capacity—but to take a stab at your questions: - the folks who do believe in UFOs would say these crashes happen worldwide, but it

I think he's so used to being ensconced in vast sums of money—and mostly shielded from any consequences—that he's largely disconnected from the world. He's not in the habit of doing the rational cost-benefit calculations that

Either of those sounds quite fair, as long as the software isn't bricked once the year is up. Wouldn't even consider a subscription.

I'm still dismayed at how Windows Phone fizzled the way it did, and I've been an Apple user for three decades now. The Metro UI was one of the more innovative UI approaches I've seen—from anyone, and definitely from Microsoft

Not entirely, but pretty close to it. I use this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quick-javascript-s... I probably have JS off on more than 70% of the sites I browse. That's because JS is so widely

I guess that depends how you define "interesting". For me, the interesting part of this would be the information, not how it's delivered. The Big Tech Alert bot is pretty straightforward when it comes to writing style (althou

Interesting idea, but—and this is a kneejerk first-impression thing—I find the pirate talk hard to get past. It's not even the silliness of it, which I might find appealing under other circumstances; it just takes longer for me to unde

Just curious, what do you use for analytics now? I don't like GA; never have, since it's too complicated and I don't trust Google, so I'd be interested in knowing some alternatives.

Ew. Any browser pulling that shit with me goes straight to the discard pile. I get that enough from websites; I should never have to see that from my own browser. Really sad to see that from Firefox, though. I'd have expected it from E

I use my own email address (web host's mail server; I don't run my own). Used Gmail for a while, but I trust Google less and less. The thought that some automated process could simply lock my account for an imagined infraction—and

"earning $2,500 a month consulting for a law firm" I think I would look twice at any law firm taking advice from someone like Martin Shkreli. It's been a while since he was a regular presence in the news, but he wasn't j

I've gone back over my posts to see if I said anything out of line, and I don't think I did. I'm just being direct; I haven't been nasty, or even snarky (which you were, consistently, in your last response). I am indeed

The fact that this isn't grubby subscription pricing immediately puts this app on my radar as something worth buying. I was steeling myself to write it off as soon as I saw the "in-app purchases" section. I'll agree that
