I skimmed the lit section and interestingly, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy seem to be one of the first personal devices. Prior to that, most of the references seem like "mainframes" with the most localized devices bei

What exactly is "illegal information"? In the US for the most part, we have a distinction between the information and how it was obtained. Daniel Ellsberg may have done something illegal when he released the Pentagon Papers, but

Frankly the only Mac App store apps that I have bought are Apple branded apps, and that's because that is the only place to get them. When I look for a new app, the Mac App store is the absolute last place I look. The iOS mentality o

The problem is Apple Maps isn't usable outside an iOS device or a specific "Maps" app on Macs only. Share links open google maps, unless you have the above machines. This makes it less than useful for general use.

The problem not that the opinion of the members of Gonojagoron Moncho are invalid, but that they are not representative of general opinion on the film. The online activism has skewed the films ratings to a point that, unless you are a memb

On the flip side, since I always travel pretty light, I never check baggage (and I still have the smallest carry-ons...) and a little more stress at the beginning of the flight to ensure I get overhead bin space, means that at the end of th

I'll be the first person to admit if I'm wrong. I also think that if this product is made, there will be some cool use cases and users currently under-served that will find great benefits form the modular system, but I remain ske

Perhaps, but (at least in Android) existing phone selection gives a pretty wide range of possibilities without incurring the drawbacks of the modular design. Admittedly, you can't buy a phone with high end CPU/memory/storage

Forums are still one of the best sources for narrow topic specific discussion. I frequent several (advrider.com being the biggest) and the topic divisions keep off-topic discussion to a minimum.

IANAL, but I suspect that they want to know as little as possible about specific users. If the play dumb and mention that you may need to check with local laws about the legality, then they can play dumb in court. If they know too much, th
