I think they're saying that they notified them on Tuesday, and were canned Friday.

Why wouldn't you communicate ahead of time that you're going to be taking a chunk of time off in the near future, specifically for something so important?

FWIW, I'm a Pixel user (who drags his ass installing these updates, so I haven't updated yet) and I naturally assumed reading the headline that this didn't actually impact all Pixel phones. Reason being that we would've

Have you ever considered learning about Mr. Rogers and what made him the way that he was? There's extensive documentation about how his childhood experiences basically shaped him into the person that he became. I'd wager it would

The disconnect occurs when you realize that the issues businesses lobby for don't always benefit their own employees, nor are they only ever lobbying just to stay alive as a business. In point of fact, Intuit's lobbying in this ve

Businesses can lobby for their own self-interest without taking such a staunch anti-consumer stance. Technically , you're not wrong. But Intuit happens to own MailChimp, QuickBooks and Credit Karma beyond TurboTax. There's no rea

We can be upset at politicians for "selling out" to the lobbyists. We can be upset at lobbyists for pushing things that they know aren't in the best interests of consumers. We can be upset at businesses for wanting to take ad
