this announcement is huge in multiple ways: 1) they just ate every other 3rd party "secure" backup services lunch just like they did to the Hi-Res music industry. 2) details of what they backup securely, besides photos (which is t

Meh… 2gb download only to try “image of unicorn pooping” to get the lamest results ever. If I can’t amuse my 5 yr old with this AI it’s nonsense. It transcribed as “image of unicorn poo ping” in tags :(

Can someone help - somehow with the iOS 15 - when watching videos the buttons to skip ahead etc. were on the bottom so when skipping ahead they wouldn’t obscure the picture, now they’re dead in the middle?

your reply echos my reply and working in a matrix organization. are there terrible managers -- yes, but in a well functioning organization with definitive role a manager should be as you describe and not what is written in the article. wha

also what no one noticed, i don't think, is how putin takes off his wrist watch at the beggining of the speach from his right wrist -- as there seem to be camereras to his right, and faces it towards him and away from any camera view.

it's always amazing to me that a typical android user tells me they hate iOS because it's locked down and android is much more open -- whenever i follow up with what apps they've actually side loaded they don't know what

No, it was garbage in 2011, no wonder they’re out of business. My first “smartphone” through Verizon was the 96xx berry, the first time I did OTA update for OS it wiped 90% of my contacts. On crackberry they told me it was a “computer” and

as much as i like apple, one thing i absolutely hate is that searching for anything in apple maps brings up yelp suggestions for restaurant: 1) not only are you faced with downloadin the yelp app to look at more pictures which are present o
