2056 After decades of touch interfaces, Apple releases, "Button" a revolutionary device that connects the physical world with the digital. FEEL the movement. HEAR the keypress. Old millenials gesture wildly and swipe back and fort

If I remember right Ron Johnson was brought in as CEO for JC Penny (former Apple Retail chief). He brought in that pricing experiment. He was canned when it didn't work out.

On my admittedly low-end 1st gen Moto E, Facebook gobbles up RAM and limited storage space like the plague. It's web interface for me. Makes me wonder if they are downloading an entire SQL database onto my phone. It's terrible app

If this happens, Twitter will cease to be Twitter. In keeping with the bird analogy, messages will be that annoying parakeet in the pet store rather than spring time finches.

The problem with slower internet and refurbished tech for the elderly or poor is that it is slower. Slower means people think the computer isn't doing anything. That means clicking more. Which means the computer gets slower. If anythin

Crapware in installations must end.I made a desktop PC for my sister with nothing but Windows 8.1. It only took my sister, an otherwise competent computer user, 48 hours for her computer to become infested with some web-ad hijacker and nume

Firefox is dirt slow on my Asus T100. Only reason I run Chrome is because it's decent speed on the T100. I think it has to due with the separate processes. The Quad Core Bay Trail chokes on single threaded processes.

I'm surprised no one has brought up Homeland's past two episodes. It's fiction to be sure, but I think the raw emotions can be seen in the episodes. I have issues with people here being armchair ethics police. Also, I have ju

I'd love to share this article with family and friends, but words like "cluster$%^&" tarnish it. While the base demo of Verge doesn't mind, and some would call it prudish to worry about such things, it debases argume

Ah yes, here we go, war criminal. Same with nearly 100 Senators and much of the House at that time who voted for the Patriot Act and war.

I agree. I have the $99/year plan. It's like getting Office for free. I'd love to support Dropbox monetarily as I've been there since the early days, but having an integrated office suite beats it out. What they should d

Apple got it right back when Jobs iLife. Separate apps that did one thing well.

Thank you for stereotype of me. That's quite progressive of you. And there is no right or wrong side of history, as we are not through with it yet. Let it be known that in my original post, I did not single out one person, nor attack a

So it wasn't because Brendan supported the traditional insituation of marriage that he was let go? He just decided one day shortly after getting the position he didn't want it? More complex? So if Chris Beard donated to Focus on t

So when one agrees with something, everyone else should just move along, like nothing happened?

ummm....no. It was in my original post to try to minimize pushback from those that take offense to anything that they disagree with or may find at any time offensive.

The question remains, however. Does he or does he not support the GLBT community. It was of such consequence to Brendan Eich that he was let go. So it must be that Chris Beard does support this community. Because we all know that having no

No word on if he supports the GLBT community hook, line and sinker. That's the litmus. EDIT: Wow. So if he does support the GLBT community, we don't need to know about it? My post that offensive to people? It's an important q

I know all the basic ins and outs of bandwidth. But why is this so complicated? I pay x amount for access to the Internet at x speed. I use internet. I pay the access fee.

Again, how exactly is Rice a war criminal? You linked to an OP-ED page. That's like linking to Greenpeace after someone asks what the benefits of Oil is to the World Economy.

Dropbox could end world hunger and bring peace to the world and we'd still have people who wouldn't accept it. This is about an addition to their API. We don't care if you think she's the spawn of Satan.

But you said it had nothing to do with her political beliefs - Going to war against Iraq is a political statement as she and others believed that WMDs were there and posed a threat to the region and the World. It's a political belief.

It has everything to do with her political beliefs and conservative background. Just admit it. You can still disagree with her and boycott Dropbox. Just say that you disagree with her political beliefs. The things the article referenced are

Why is this? Because she was a part of the Bush administration? Because she is a Republican and we should hate Republicans? I mean, come on, isn't Al Gore on Apple's Board? He's no saint! No. This is not an issue of partisans
