Do you think people will prefer to use a self driving car that gets them to the office ten minutes faster or one that meanders around picking up other people and dropping them off?

You get a bag full of coupons and advertorials, perhaps a free sample like a nappy in the UK instead. "Bounty bags" are the main ones.

Costs vary, but you're probably at break-even on your first child and saving money on any further children by using cloth nappies. I'm not sure what's so vague about preventing kilograms of nappies containing plastics and che

I have the exact same issues with my N5. I think I'll have to get myself a headset rather than shouting down the speaker phone. I'll feel sad not to be on the leading edge for the first time in years (had Nexus 4 before)

Everyone laughs at these mistakes, including me. Mine happened while holidaying in the Lake District, we were planning to hike to Scafell Pike (highest point in England), from Seathwaite. So we rolled out of our tent at 5am, got in the car,

I don't think that there's any evidence that there are hordes of Americans just waiting to move on over. In the UK immigration from former colonies is no longer treated any more preferentially than immigrants from non-EU countries
