In other GPS thoughts, I've wondered if Google is responsible for a bunch of the seeming grid lock. In the past I feel like people drove down the main streets but now, when the main street fills, Google Maps, and probably Apple Maps an

By every measure (go read and told up the CVEs), Chrome has a better security track record than Safari. That means by not allowing users to use Chrome (or a Chromium variant), Apple is forcing users to use a less secure browser and a less s

No, they were recording data from every user in any browser that accessed google.com and their other sites. That behavior is normal for the majority of sites on the internet. AFAICT, reading the article, Google is going to stop collecting d

Seems a perfect fit for a web based version I loved The Sentinel when it came out but part of that love was the awe at seeing solid 3d on my 8bit C64 in an era when most 3d was wire frame like Elite, Sublogic Flight Simulator, Gunship, etc.
