I believe that Whatsapp and Groupme are the two popular apps in the U.S. I personally use both, but prefer Whatsapp and use Groupme only because my workplace does.

Yes, I completely agree with you that security spending can be trimmed if we make it more efficient. And yes, that money definitely should go to public programs that improve on our well-being (less attacks then!). However, I just want to st

It really was. At least once, known al-Qaeda terrorists did a trial run prior to 9/11. And for a month up to the day before 9/11, Agent Samit was desperately trying to stop Moussaoui by getting a warrant to search his laptop, but

No, probable cause is not the same thing as evidence. His hypothetical is actually how warrants are supposed to work. Law enforcement have probable cause to suspect someone of being guilty. If they can make a strong argument about why the p

The Palmer raids in the early 1900s arrested more than 10,000 people. Of that, 3,500 of them were held indefinitely. Almost all of them were innocent people. In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, 1,200 Muslims were arrested. Some were beate

Well, it makes sense that she'd say that since she's one of the two that rejected that the program is illegal. I've been reading Tim Weiner's Enemies, a history of the FBI and one thing stuck with me. That was that there

But then what of the people that have antennas at home, record shows for later playback (which is legal)? This is the same concept, just remote.

I used to use Timely and even bought the ad-free unlock, but had to stop using it once I saw that it was triggering hundreds of wakelocks during the day, even when I didn't have any alarms set. Hopefully Google will set that straight.

Well that's silly. "Anandtech does great reviews unless it's favorable to something I'm not, so then those reviews must be biased". Either you trust Anandtech or you don't. And if you do, then you shouldn'

Barrier to using Linux is not lower than Windows. Windows comes installed on almost every PC sold. Linux does not. Therefore more work is required to use Linux. I love Linux, but "if a program works on every single other distro.."

Hm, I just read his review and he mentioned that he turned off all animations. That probably has a lot to do with a phone feeling faster (just did it on my One and it really does feel faster). He also mentions that the 5S still has the best

Honest question, but can you point me to some of the critics that are saying the N5 is smoother and silkier than the iPhone 5S? I haven't seen any yet.

Set up a route beforehand. If for some reason you have to fiddle with GPS and it's distracting, then do what people did before GPS was around: pull over and figure out your bearings. EDIT: I don't want to come off as anti-tech in

I got hit by a car a few months ago and painfully walked away. The car was turning and not even at a fast speed. My friend passed away a few weeks ago when she got hit by a truck. People forget just how much force is behind a vehicle moving

While I haven't personally played with it yet, this was the first reaction from a nontechy friend I got: "ITS. SO. BEAUTIFUL. I feel like I have a new phone. I took off the case for a little bit while on my bed just for the funsie

The fingerprint scanner on the Atrix was of the primitive kind, where you have to swipe your thumb and hope it scanned. Half the time it didn't. The reason it took Apple 2 years to implement it was because they waited for a better solu

Having used face unlock, it's really gimmicky. I turned that off right away. It could be a good idea in the future but, like with Samsung's hands-free gestures, right now I'd have to spend too much time aligning my face and w

The class action lawsuit would be brought based on the fact that Apple sold the device on a lie. The government can't grant immunity for that.

I'm not disagreeing with you; I also think the Nexus line is a great buy off contract but that the iPhone is better subsidized ($400 value for $200 on contract or $650 value for $200? The Nexus 4 on contract was stupid). I'm excit

Well then, let's stop advancing technology now because you think it's fine where it is. Let's stop writing more feature-packed programs because hey, features cost resources. I'm sure you're using a recycled computer

His tweet doesn't confirm or reject your #2 (just that PIN is available as an option), so just relax and wait to see. I mean, I doubt they'd implement FDR + PIN like you want (cause it seems a minority wish?), but it's still

Your 3GS has nothing to do with the iPhone 5S. iOS 7 was probably designed with the iPhone 5 in mind. The 3GS probably had support hacked together. I think that at this point, you can stop using a 4 year old phone. Or, if you insist on usin

I love Linux, but I disagree with you. The amount of money Google makes from the Play store is negligible compared to their overall revenues. I highly doubt they don't include a file manager so they can make a few more bucks. It probab

The Facebook iOS shouldn't be running once it's off your screen. I really loved the iOS app actually. I went from S3 to iPhone 5 to HTC One. The Android app was fine when I was on the S3, but it seemed to have gotten worse while I

I've never put on a pair of Bose so I can't attest to the sound quality, but I have held a few pairs and it bothers me that headphones in that price range can feel so fragile. There's this cheap plastic feel to it. My Sony MD

I wish some of these "DJs" at colleges these days understood what distortion is. And what is with the trend where volume has to always be at 100% even when you're playing in a small room? It's nuts out there.

You're right. They should make a WP, Meego, Sailfish, Jolla, Tizen, WebOS, Windows, and Mac OS app. And some more too. It's an accessibility issue. And while we're at it, how come libraries have accessibility as a goal, but m
