Yeah, that jumped out at me too. I don't know how you get that fact wrong.

I think they have been revived by one of the original authors [1]. A friend who bought these for his son mentioned these a while back, but said the books are no longer violent. I only remember reading one CYOA, but I think I was burned to

I agree, that thread is a bit dramatic. With compact view, I'm failing to see a big difference.

I actually like the AMP pages. Aside from public radio sites and a handful of other sites, news pages are so full of ads and slow loading, especially on mobile, that they're unreadable. With AMP I can actually read articles from my loc

A decorative toy map like this doesn't have to be accurate. Yes, you can ignore things for convenience. If I make a map that ignores the Pacific so I can focus on landmasses, it doesn't make the actual Pacific disappear. So yes,

No, what's new is that those bugs and missing features will get fixed without an OS service pack / release.

Your phone can't lock to GPS faster because it can use cell towers to narrow down your position first. The Band should lock more quickly now that it has a general idea of where you are. I have a Garmin GPS watch, and the initial lock

Unlike many in the comments, I don't think this is a useless app. I don't particularly enjoy passing my phone around, and sometimes it's a nice way of showing everyone photos at the same time. At first I thought this was Nok

Because the author, probably not the submitter, decided to do that in their article on their website. Also, as trivial as it may be to get revenue and employee numbers from annual reports, it only takes a few seconds to do in Wolfram Alpha.

These systems are designed to do one thing and do it well, without error. They have been in place a long time. Because they are old does not mean they are not secure. Much like the Apollo mission computers are often quoted as being "

In this context, is the POS device the cash register or the CC reader used by the customer? I was assuming it was the reader device they were referring to, but it seems like those would run software from the manufacturer, not Target. I not

Personally, I have used both the Gmail alias and the company@example.com strategies. I have since given up both as I found it too hard to remember what address I used where. The main reason I quit doing this is because Gmail's spam fi

The statement is presented as a fact in the article, yet as even the author admits it is probably not true. So I would agree it is amateur journalism.

Seems similar to the discontinued Google Sesame. http://www.zdnet.com/open-sesame-googles-no-password-log-in-... It would be interesting to know why Google didn't pursue it. Maybe a 20% project? https://pl

Agreed. Surely the ~350 email addresses (although stated about 1/2 were valid) were worth much more than $10. In my opinion, it's unethical.

I'm really curious why the article states that. So many questions. Do you not have a 65" monitor or is it just not in the living room?

I had to use Powerline adapters in my apartment and was skeptical because of early problems. I have been very impressed. I've had no problems. Although I don't understand why the manufacturers put 100 Mbps Ethernet on 500 Mbps
