Seems like escalating this fight with Google is pretty much the last thing they should be doing. They need to be proving they can be trusted, not throwing a tantrum.

It's probably more just that sites are using SPA frameworks that use onClicks in JS instead of hrefs in HTML. Can't control click a link that isn't a link, it's a span pretending to be a link.

The PR campaign won't be targeting users, it'll be targeting business/site owners. A user might be annoyed that random sites stop working, but the people who operate those sites will see their traffic fall off a cliff. The on

I don't know why Apple thinks they're going to have any sway over the people working on 3D graphics. Their hardware support for 3d graphics has been so awful for so long, I have a hard time imagining there's a very big user b

I've also had a hard time understanding why Uber's been singled out so strongly on this issue. How is Tesla and everyone else managing to not get the same PR backlash?

Microsoft has successfully trained me that OS upgrades can be very traumatic. I consider myself an early adopter, and I always run cutting edge on my phone or win laptop, but I only ever upgrade my primary workstation when it dies and I hav

Doxxing is a violation of TOS regardless if it's for "good" or for "bad" reasons. Mods of such a controversial sub flagrantly participating in doxxing is basically forcing the admins to ban them.

Being able to create loads of accounts doesn't really hurt anything. Leverage multiple accounts to spam and abuse signaling is what's harmful.

It's amazing that Allo and Duo were 100% clearly DOA and absolutely everyone but Google could recognize it. They killed Google Talk, ignored Google Voice, abandoning Hangouts, and their new apps are wastelands. Throw in the Wave, Buzz,

A lot of them said that at the time. They added a clause that said you couldn't blame the ACA unless you could prove it was the ACA's fault, and they all quit blaming it.

I have a hard time seeing anything you're pitching as much beyond what you could get with a Wii, and that's completely dead and abandoned. How many people bought Wii fitness? Is that enough of a demographic to expect there to be a

In the real world, you look with your eyes much more than you look with your head. As you're playing games or working, the only time you ever turn your head is when something external distracts you, and you can resolve it in a split se

I don't think it's fair to compare VR to Soccer, it's more equivalent to home treadmills, or something like a bowflex. An expensive niche product that usually just gets left in the corner getting dusty.

Maybe I'm just lazy, but VR games requiring physical exertion have absolutely zero appeal to me. I want to sit back with a keyboard and controller and relax. I include any kind of room scale in that assessment, and personally, just the

On the flip side, that fact that VR is such a physical exertion is exactly why it will absolutely not have a mass market appeal. There's a reason why the Wii and the Kinect were cute and cool, but both failed to get any real market tra

The convenience factor is being completely ignored by the enthusiasts. There is absolutely no plausible day to day use case for VR like there was for something like a smart phone. VR games are the same sort of short term gimmicks that faile

Roomscale VR is a complete DOA gimmick in the home. The Wii and the Kinect proved that physical UI's are not fun and don't have durable appeal.

I don't see VR as even remotely comparable to the smart phone revolution. A phone is a tool, it's an accessory. It's easy to use for a half a second, anytime you want. You can glance at your phone while you're working an
