I actually think they will eventually. It may be in the form of forcing you to watch preview like you are forced to with DVDs Or they may decide to raise monthly fee by $2 a month but you won't have to pay if you elect to allow ads. It

The REASON cable TV caught on initially decades ago was the promise of cutting out ads. There were NO ads on Cable TV initially.

If this article were true, how can you explain lower divorce rate in Asian countries? China? S Korea? Japan?

KEEP!! This looks so much better on my note 4. No more zooming in and out.

Of course! We all know why the toasters were able to wipe out the fleet. Because the battleships were able to talk to each other!

Just wanted to point out a link between AKOM and Star Wars (lightsabers actually). AKOM was founded in 1985 by Nelson Shin, the one who came up with the special effects of the original lightsaber in Star Wars Episodes 4, 5, 6. Here's a

Homeland is a TV show, for entertainment. No one is happy with a lot of documentaries, the TV shows that are meant to get at facts and not just entertain. So while I don't want to give Homeland a free ride, it'd be too much to exp

$862m? Isn't that little bit less than what Samsung paid to Apple? I tell ya, this tech news stuff is sometimes more entertaining than infotainment on TV.

We should be honest and talk about just not creating more jobs BUT having LESS babies.

Apple? Samsung? Plenty of innovation from non-Intel. Believe it or not one of the early thin/light Dell laptop that sold well was a rebadged Samsung laptop. It was Dell X1 laptop. 2.5lb laptop with 12inch screen in 2005, or even earlie

While Dell may have had a shot at being AWS and EMC in 90's and 2000's, it never entered into their mindset. They were PROUDLY claiming how they were not wasting money on R&D but rather simply churning out boxes of computers a

Entire state of Hawaii bans all forms of outdoor ads. Some company tried to sell ads on bikes but were banned. Another company tried to sell aerial ads (banner pulled by small planes) in Hawaii. The company insisted only FAA can ban such ad

I think SOME people enjoy the long commute to be away from family chores/responsibilities. If you have to make that LONG commute so that you can provide for the family and miss out on doing laundry or doing dishes, hey who's gonna

If you want a long period of constant wars between nations, yes, please go ahead and ask for taking away the primacy of the US. In simplest terms, gang wars break out when there's no strong leader on top. When a strong leader is killed

What about people who never park in a parking garage? Who's going to pay for installing/maintaining charging stations? I would like to be proven wrong, but in markets with low level of private garage ownership, pure EV won't

South Korea (especially Seoul) is a similar case. A high percentage of people you see in the Seoul subways actually own cars. Lots of office workers leave their sedans/suvs in the garages of their highrise apartment complexes on regula

I seriously think it's the car culture of US. You move around outside of your immediate neighborhood enclosed in your car, cut off from others except for occasional eye contact or hand motion at stop signs. And that somehow seems to ha

Same thing in Seoul, South Korea also. Little kids walk/subway to school or go to friends' place without parents or older siblings. No such thing as play date being arranged by parents as done in US. Kids do it themselves. All wit

Billy had 18 months, 18 months to work on the idea. Obviously he couldn't find designers/coders/PM for the cheap to build it so he went with the bait-and-switch route. I can almost imagine the conversations he had giggling wi

by dba7dba 11y ago
The moral of the story is people like Billy won't succeed in the tech industry, because the 'coders' have choices.

yup. no marketing, sales, project management, product manager, or any other field that doesn't somehow involve math/science.

I second this. Pretty much a lot of tech workers prefer remote jobs over onsite job, for good reasons. The only ones that get remote jobs are either very senior, have proven track record or they are free-lancers. So I'd say keep lookin

Having a daughter that you can't provide for adequately can be crushing. I'd say 'stop playing a victim' may be ok. But saying it's embarrassing is bit too much.
