Surely between one of their 8 messaging apps/teams they have the required expertise and patents? I'm not particularly keen on giving them any benefit of the doubt. They're one of the biggest, richest companies in the world.

I fully agree with the article. Google shot their own foot in many many things and is now slowly reaping the rewards. They had complete carte blanche to do as they wished on Android in terms of messaging, and they chose to run around like a

So you think you could say something counter-culture in a GS-like strict dress code environment and get away with it? Or is your point that bigoted rants would have been better accepted in a boardroom in the 90's when the old boys were

The US is weird. They took a long time to start using SMS, ad then once they started using it, its hard to get them to switch. A very stubborn attitude.

9/11 was an anomaly and the aftermath was that we are now comfortable with constant surveillance and a region that hasn't known peace in decades.

So are customers supposed to sniff the milk in the store? Wouldn't it be sealed and if not, have a huge risk of bacteria getting in and spoiling it before it would otherwise go bad? Doesn't seem very well thought through to me.

Its a bit weird that they never talked about it with you. It is such a big change that its a bit of red flag for you to only find out about it when you receive contract.

I mentioned the T480s. The T480 is much more user-serviceable than a Macbook Pro, with upgradeable RAM, SSD, Battery etc, and much cheaper, so not a valid comparison.

I think this battle is long over and done with, but the Ethernet jack is not that big. A Thinkpad T470s/T480s has it and it is plenty thin. There are even some laptops with a collapsible RJ-45 port which allows it to be even thinner. A

McDonald's is a pretty good example. For one, cheap burger they can provide it to you for cheaper. As soon as you start asking for quantity or quality though, you quickly realize you can make it yourself for cheaper, not counting your
