   I'm one of the few in the "tech world" that isn't so much pro-privacy. Google can read my email, Apple can track my movements, my Amazon Echo can even listen in when it wants. The end result is a huge benefit to me. How

   AR is a bit easier on the tongue than computer-mediated reality. I wouldn't be too upset over it, they're on the right track.

   Looks great. I'd love to specify window locations though, so I don't have to manually position everything after they launch.

   A Hubble or James Webb is easily a billion dollar effort, making it THE major limitation for discovery. No one is investing that sort of money for no return. Honestly, even if they did, it would be frowned upon considering the more importan

   I wonder how long it will take before there's an actual YouTube competitor (and yea, that's not Vimeo or Vidme). Something quick and easy like imgur for video would be fantastic. That being said, this is an interesting move. Is Yo

    That may work for some people... but this looks more geared to creative types, where drafting and collecting ideas is the first step of a longer process that isn't easily accomplished in one sitting. Saving rough drafts and wireframes
