Japan as a country is failing to take care of its old and the young have a fertility problem. I doubt Japanese culture will survive this century, but it is only seventy-odd years old.

Safari has 2 basic problems; - The Interface is obtuse and inefficient in practice. - All major updates only happen once a year for so that the OS announcement can have more bullet points Which, I guess is the problem with iOS as a whole. M

I got Shingles because of stress caused by some arbitrary blockage of payments from one of my service providers. I'd say remembering bullshit excuses they gave me was quite difficult.

And Amazon. And every other company that is dependent on the faith people put in their arbitrary ratings. I think we are near critical mass of people realizing that online reviews are bullshit.

You mean like the time they colluded with publishers to fix prices of ebooks? Corporations aren't people and shouls not be judged for their 'characters'.

I think the suggestion is that if the immigrants were Caucasian, this would not be a big deal. Which is true; most people of Irish, Scottish and German descent came here when the standards of entry were fad less rigorous. If lax immigratio

Apple's desire to constantly fiddle with the UX plays a huge part in it. I find it hilarious the number of time my wife launches siri when trying to unlock her iPhone. Post-iOS7, it seems Apple has become the George Lucas of UX design.

Yep. TV was revolutionary for advertisements and marketing. The passive viewing makes us more susceptible to them. TV ad revenue is still 10 times the amount for online ads world wide. I have always assumed that all social nedia want to be

As the video mentions, people have been sued for App Store and Steam as well. Google, and Apple and Valve, can send their own lawyers to defend these clients, but since there are dozens of cases, it will be quite expensive. They can ma

Isn't that most if the mainstream Internet in the English language? I mean why is your aunt on Instagram? Why is your dad using Snapchat? What value do these services have 90% of their users but provide a throughline to celebrities?

In 50 years the idea of ownership by individuals will be dead. Trans-genic organism have IP protects, tractors too. The whole of Agricultural production will pretty much become a licensing business. The same will happen to large-scale mass

But how does one goes aboit looking at those? When you look at the top charts of Steam, the only true competitor to App store and Play store, you will mostly find games that are not trying to leech the user. Of course the founder of Ar

Charter schools' biggest failure is that they do not have the restrictions on religious indoctrination that public schools have. A lot of them are just public-subsidized religious schools, something that can be considered undemocratic,

People used to say about PC games, but the Denuvo encryption is unbreakable right now. The hackers and the studios are not on equal footing anymore. This will happen to web DRM as well.

Not all conspiracies are enacted by secret cabals. Apple may have joined later, but three levels of federal court, plus settlement in a civil suit, have now shown us they were in fact guilty of conspiring.

I can't seem to find the terms of the settlement anywhere but they did pay the punitive settlement. If you believe you are innocent you fight, which is what Apple did. These circular arguments only exist because the culprit in the case
