It is an advantage because it's independent of the producer. They don't have a lockdown on the content. You can only watch a Netflix movie, on Netflix. You can't watch it on Amazon, nor Google Play. Promoting independent ac

I don't understand where this cheerleading for these multi-billion dollar companies started. First off, these companies aren't banned at all. They are free to show them. They can't compete unless they show their movie in a Fr

No way, lots of companies get negative press and thrive. Facebook has lots of capital to throw at buying up smaller social networks (see: Instagram, which is still on the up and up for monthly users) Many people honestly don't care abo

They won't, it's something AV proponents love to claim though. The claim is that cars will be able to drive closer at higher speeds or something. But, 2 tons of steel is still a deadly weapon no matter who's driving it. A car
