Mine actually was counterfeit. I could tell because the phone comes up with the message "please replace your unauthorized battery with a genuine battery" and the phone wouldn't work. My phone is at that point where it start

I bought a phone battery on amazon. Looked legit, was the top result for my phone. It was counterfeit and wouldn't work. I don't even know how to get a battery because the phone stores didn't have it anymore. Can't t

How do you know that the police themselves don't put porn on someone's computer to get them?

People have no problem spending $20,000 for a car, $3k/year for insurance, thousands more for gas and maintenance. For some reason, people freak out when anyone tries to add or increase toll roads. If you want to see a comment get ep

Good reason to wait for the next chip cycle. AMD will have smoothed out any rough edges and Intel will show us what they've really got.

Even before, you had to sell over $1,000,000 in amazon stuff to make a meaningful amount of money.

This is a good investment. Cities spend a lot of their budget on roads. A lot of cities are gridlocked with no room to widen existing roads. All he has to do is find a way to tunnel a little bit cheaper and he will find work for his tunne

Maybe a big L2 cache is nice, but overall performance is all that really matters. I suspect the figures we have seen are from running the chip hot with a fancy cooler. Gamers won't be able to overclock much and regular people will ha

Its a golden corral except your plate costs 2-3x as much and you don't get seconds.

Why do you trust the whole foods brand? Do you think the libertarian CEO goes to china to verify the ingredients are actually grown organically? Do you think the bush administration holdover in charge of the organic label goes to china to

I used to shop only at whole foods, happily paying $200 for 3 paper bags of groceries. Then in 2009 their CEO spouted some libertarian crap how he was against healthcare reform. I was shocked that whole foods wasn't run by hippies.

All the scientific news about global warming seems to be "omg its happening faster than we said"

The non-rich will adopt self driving cars faster than anyone. They will use these cars as a service and not need to own one or pay for insurance. It will be rich people with their sports cars and fancy motorcycles fighting us on this.

The real safety payoff will be when manual driving is banned on public roads. We will have to fight the "freedom is doing whatever I want" people who are going to defend the right to manually drive on public roads.

Investors might think they will branch out into deliveries and other stuff like amazon did from books.

Humanity causing its own end is a heavy topic. And it is a hopeless topic considering the new leadership in america.

I used to be a gimp fanatic keeping up with the latest alpha builds. I lost a bunch of money one time using gimp to implement a website from psd. I implemented that site pixel-perfect but gimp had rendered the psd completely wrong so it l

That is a cool product. I'm thinking of a form factor like that but longer or wider so the components are not all on top of each other.

I love ultrabooks- I was using a eeepc when the 2012 macbook pro came out and took credit for removing the cdrom. The problem with current macbooks is that they moved beyond ultrabooks and became ultralights. Thinner at all costs. Forget

That is a $400 piece of equipment. I would buy it immediately if they sold like a $150 thing that only connected sonos to the amps I have.

This IS the complaint- that apple is only selling ultralights now.

There are a lot more reasons I switched to windows than a vpn that stopped working. I tried for over 4 years to incorporate osx into an engineering work flow. The nominally cross platform eclipse stack I was using never became fully compa

But you just said the excuse is that apple is only selling ultrabooks now?
55.
by robotjosh 10y ago
Yes, I've heard all the excuses as to why apple can only offer 16gb. There are xeon laptops with 128gb, so whatever.

by robotjosh 10y ago
Yeah!

by robotjosh 10y ago
Then why am I able to purchase a thinkpad with 64gb ram? It doesn't matter, I'm over all the excuses.

by robotjosh 10y ago
It wasn't the first issue I ran into being on osx and everyone else using windows. As someone who used these machines for work, I can't control what terrible protocols people use, I just need it to work.

Apple could have done what sonos is doing. I was waiting for apple to improve on airplay and let me hook up all my stuff over apple stuff. I got the apple tv, the time capsule, the macbook pro, and I got my wife a macbook, iphone, and ipa

The last straw for me was when osx without warning or explanation removed the vpn technology I was using. The people waiting for me to do work asked "why in the hell are you still trying to use that piece of crap" and I didn'
