I think part of the reason it worked for hulu is that it was a less crowded market for streaming services when they launched. People are pretty happy with the services they have now and so something like Quibi doesn't stand out as some

No it actually doesn't. This is anecdotal but... my father in law is a police officer in a city with 1.2 million people and the way he talks you'd think officers were dropping like flies. I looked it up and in the last 150 years 2

I don't think there's a single piece of software (if you can call facebook's website a piece of software) that I've used longer than facebook.com. I was one of the earliest users in 2004 and have had an account the entir

I have a decent sized music collection consisting a lot of lossless vinyl rips that I've made from my record collection. It totals around 200gigs at the moment but is growing weekly. I've been looking for somewhere to back this al

There's a great political cartoon I saw once (we've probably all seen it) where a guy in a tattered suit is sitting at a campfire with some other people and he says, "yes the planet was destroyed but for a beautiful moment in

I have a 2012 air as well (i7, 8gb) that still runs quite well. I dont do much development on it anymore but I'm still impressed with how well it has held up.
