Your argument stands on tenuous ground because you just pointed out all the flaws that exist with "mail in" ballots. Did you know that states like Oregon only have mail in ballots? So, despite all the flaws that you point out, why

OP here. Is the reluctance borne out of a dislike for Windows (privacy, functionality, UI) or is it something else? Windows laptops, particularly the Surface Book and the Dell XPS line, compare very favorably to the MacBook Pro line. The di

This is the crux of why viewership is declining. Who in their right mind these days has 3+ hours to watch a game that has only an hour of play time. And realistically speaking, the average "actual" play time is sub-15 minutes [1

I don't quite understand this correlation of user-centric functionality with bloat on HN. News flash: users want features! Most users didn't care that Google Chrome had become a CPU and RAM dog the last few years. They cared that

If this were the case, VW would surely have abandoned ship and shuttered their factories. They haven't. Similar situation with BP - they are not in the doldrums. People have short-term memories and will vote with their wallets if they

There is a management concept of the "value maximizing owner". As someone else pointed out, HP under Meg is all about figuring out who can maximize the return on investment into a particular HP business unit. In the cases of the P

This looks like a great program. The next logical thing to do with the Jet Anywhere program is to launch a credit card that creates customer stickiness to Jet.com. While some of the incentives are great, e.g., 20% cash back at Nike, the pro

I was hoping that Shumway, Mozilla's effort to render swf files using JS (like what PDF.js is to Adobe Reader), would be released at some point. It looks like the project has been added to the Firefox Graveyard [1]. I don't have A

Unfortunately, any mention of creating a lean UI based on HTML5 creates a huge debate, nee a holy war, in the Firefox community because this is deemed to reduce the ability to extend the Firefox UI through extensions. Please refer to [1] fo

This phone lacking 4G shouldn't be a show-stopper in India, where most of the network providers only have 3G networks deployed. Reliance has announced a 4G network, but it hasn't been deployed yet.
