Definitely worth mentioning in the article, but not a big concern. Even if this plane actually comes to market and is successful according to their wildest hopes, it'll only be a very tiny fraction of the aviation market. This is due t

Are the drones disposable? I would think so since I bet their range is limited. How do they handle concerns of this tech falling into the enemy's hands? I realize it's mostly simple (3-D printed and lightweight) but there's s

It'd be ridiculous to charge different amounts for a license based on the OS. Has that ever happened before?

It's the bio in his personal blog. He can put whatever he wants in it. And I don't think he includes it because it is "fashionable", but rather a reality that a true faith defines who you are and how you operate.

As self-driving cars take off, they'll start to form a mesh network and communicate. This four way stop scenario is solved in an instant. And when the grid is fully automated, they'll be a huge decrease in four way stops (and any

The entire article was based on a premise that couldn't even be backed up with one good example. Granted, self-driving cars are in their infancy, but still.

Not a very strong argument, IMO. AR/VR and self-driving cars are poised for huge growth because 1) they will drastically change the way we do certain activities and 2) they are just now becoming achievable (due to hardware, software, a

Skype for business is the biggest dumpster fire of software that I've had to use for work in the last few years. Truly awful- resource hog, screen sharing rarely works, and frequently crashes.

Has Apple even given access of someone's iCloud account to next-of-kin after they died? I've never heard of this, and I don't expect Apple to be responsible to preserve photos. You already can have shared photo streams, and t

Great point. I've always had an issue with those ads on the home screen. One ad that stands out in my memory was a particularly gruesome looking game ad, something about zombies. I thought it was way too dark for the little kids in my

Skype on Windows is awful. Frequent crashes, shared screens drop all the time, and very inefficient. Only reason it's not uninstalled is that we have to use it at work.
