I’m being kinda cynical here, but one isn’t allowed to grow to be one of the largest online storage providers without the capability to hand over the keys to the government so we might not ever get to see a widely adopted service that uses

I was having this same thought the other day when looking at Herman Miller chairs and scratching my head. How can a CPU, with physics that are more complex than most can even barely grasp, cost 1/3 of what an Embody retails for?

My 6-year old Windows 10 desktop has been going strong since day 1 without CCleaner or anything similar. This isn’t a tech problem, it’s a people problem. Throw anything but an iPad in their hands and it’ll be unrecognizable in a year. Does

This is what a lot companies who do business in China have to go through. For example, Activision-Blizzard are pretty much fully separated from The9, which is the only authorized distributor for World of Warcraft in China. Edit: Apologies,

Trump wants nothing more than to “win” against perceived competitors. Remember when Twitter fact checked those Trump tweets? Trump is the type of petty person to not let something like this go.
