Not to be blindingly trustworthy or anything, but I'm pretty sure none of these devices currently state that they send everything you say 24/7 (or more specifically, the Echo). That would, again, only be if it had been tampered wi

There is a little use of five cents here. Not lots, but it's not unknown for it to change amount. ...still no correlation, though.

Given that I suspect you can't get a brand-new assembled car for $1000, I'd say you could extend the "motorsport enthusiast" level to $20000 or more easily. [Please note that I've never bought a new car, nor a car i

They don't allow end-users to generate keys for games - that is restricted to the publishers or game creators (in smaller cases). The keys on those sites are generally sourced from physical copies in cheaper regions (as mentioned in a

If you read this as Connected (User Experience) and (Telemetry) service, it's actually a far better name than the Diagnostics title it had before. And makes perfect sense, when you assume it is for doing the minimal reporting they say

I love the fact that (while I'm doing a similar thing with my phone, and would also describe it as "a basic..."), the phone/watch is probably a million times more complex than any previous nightstand / alarm clock a

This amuses me, because they used the video at the top of the linked site in the presentation... which shows a Surface Pro 3 and pen (and was filmed ages ago). SP3 is great, obviously, but it was in the middle of boasting about the _new_ pe

As someone in Cambridge bemoaning the housing market, and having loved Edinburgh when visiting a few times, this is... interesting. Thanks! Oh, wait: <redacted> I used to work with you.

Probably not the first time this joke will be made, but... "I'm impressed - I didn't realise Ahmed had built a clock with a functional alarm."

Well, based on the 9 year / millions of dollars thing (and I agree this is a bit of a stretch), someone might say "Oh, hey, Jerry - are we paying $200,000 more this year for electricity than we did last year? Have prices changed?

Ouch. I realise that this doesn't contribute hugely to the conversation, but that makes me feel a little sad. "It's a clock, we know" -> "But what was he going to use it for?" How is that a question you&#x27

I'm unsure how you can think this, really: according to Wikipedia[1], Opera was first released in 1995 (whilst Google was founded in '98, Chrome released in '08). I wondered if maybe you meant that it had forked the Chromium

But reserving the right, or just saying 'Look, we don't know all of the cases where a programmer will say "and if the user corrects this, tell us we screwed up"' (for the optimist) is not the same as sending it all.

I might well be remembering this incorrectly, but wasn't that a part of the Insider Only pre-release EULA? I've not checked to see if it's in the more recent release EULA, but the assumption was that it was there for the beta
