These action sequences being a jumbled up mess is a feature, I think. It allows the action on-screen to be visually sloppy and imprecise (thus easier to make), and the audience makes up for it (subconsciously) with their imagination filling

Tangibly bad things would have to happen to a non-negligible amount of users. And, to be honest here, that's the threshold for me to care enough to do anything substantial. A person's chats being read by some spooky unknown compan

But again, that doesn't really matter to people who are using their laptops as a browser on steroids. Whether you're using a Macbook or a Chromebook, you're SOL in either case if you mostly do your work in a browser.

But breaking up Comcast or TW wouldn't lead to increased competition and more options for consumers. Breaking them up would not change the fact that most people will only have one serious option for wired internet service... it would s

What's weird is that if you try to create a label called "Important" in Inbox, it will say it already exists. Yet it doesn't show that label as an option when creating bundles. It's like they went out of their way t

I still prefer Priority Inbox that's been around a few years now. I gave Inbox a shot, and it's very pretty, but I ultimately didn't find it as useful. Maybe I need to find the right settings to get Inbox to work the way I wa

I don't necessarily believe this to be a possibility... but if the US contracted out "security" to companies like Blackwater, it seems at least.... plausible that they could contract out "missile defense."

Oh, you're asking if the video is slowed down/sped up. Ok. At first, I thought you were asking if we were watching it in realtime.... and seeing rocket after rocket blow up on this barge.

You're heaping praise onto a system that worked so well for you, yet balk at expanding access to that system to more people. Why? It's really hard for me to view that as anything other than extraordinarily selfish. If the communit

Why not both? I think we can work to address both the symptoms and the disease in tandem. Treat the symptom of segregation by implementing programs or initiatives that actively promote diversity. Also, root out the underlying cause by.... d

But if Comcast gets its users in the habit of using less bandwidth/data, won't that mean Comcast can delay speeding up their connection and providing more bandwidth? I think from that perspective, there is a long-term cost for the
