   Some people do try to come up with alternatives. https://flattr.com/ has been around for a while, but they're doing an overhaul of their model now, together with the company behind Adblock Plus. Here's the latest

   That's the current wisdom, yes. To lose weight, it's recommended to eat many times a day (like 5-6), but limit yourself to small portions.

   Thank you. Too bad it's in Chinese, but Google Translate got me the gist. An unfortunate story. Not sure why he didn't settle on GPL or AGPL, though.

   But the "correct" price is the one the investors are willing to buy at, right? Imagine that 99.98% of all investors are index funds, and there is a company BigCo that is at some point is at the top of the market. So pretty much ev

    Maybe they follow the "make it worse, then make it better" approach to user experience. Even if the end design is objectively worse than the previous/current one, it will feel better compared to the intermediate versions. Tha

    Both Google and Mozilla track browser usage, installed addons, etc. You can bet your posterior that if Mozilla decides that a given slice of the user base is marginal enough to have its demands ignored, Google would do that in a heartbeat.

    "Calendar" looks fine to me. I see the problems with "Applications" and "AppCenter", though. Maybe the problem is just with the particular font used. See the browser window on the right side of the screenshot.

    That depends on your needs. Maybe not modern AAA games. But as a counter-example, Intel® HD Graphics 530 can easily handle Half-Life 2, with power to spare.

    I've looked at it, and they include a pretty useless NVIDIA Quadro instead of a video cart you could use for occasional gaming. Granted, the last 3D game I've ran on my XPS 15 was Half-Life 2, and it's pretty fast even on the

    Then the extension would have to similarly say, on install, that it sends analytics to <fishy provider>. Which would make the user want to use them even less.

    When you're the author, you can publish your code under whatever license you want. To publish in the App Store some app you've been distributing under GPL, you basically have to give a separate, more permissive, license to Apple.

    There's no reason to believe the telecoms can't make up for it with volume. Like, people might actually start using the roaming services a lot more.
