How so? What stops any state in the US from doing similar things? Genuine question. California for example routinely establishes new and stricter (compared to other US states) environmental rules governing emissions and whatnot. Legalizing

I hope the bigwigs at FB don't read your comment. Messenger and whatsapp should never be merged. Part of the reason why I'm glad that Messenger is doing so well (I don't use it myself) it's because I believe that gives

And yet the Play Store generates way less money than the App Store. It's ridiculous how lopsided the difference is actually. I mean, does that 15% really have more spendable money than the other 85%? Something else has to account for t

Young people and children still watch a lot of "TV" but a big share of it is done via streaming. Also, judging by how many young couples make their kids watch "TV" on a tablet or phone while they are waiting on some appo

How many people actually do this though? I rather wait for them to be online instead of registering my card information someplace else. I can buy stuff from almost any site as long as they accept Paypal but many want to store the card infor
