Well, I understood what you meant, but you are wrong in either your views or your language. Here are the firsts 2 definition of the word neat: - free from dirt and disorder: habitually clean and orderly - marked by skill or ingenuity And mo

Well yeah, the problem with modern justice is that it doesn't really work. It's a tool for use by the powerful, besides that for common people there is no real justice. I once got a lot of stuff stolen from me; long story but I co

It's insane the amount of bullshit people will pille up to defend a man who, even if he was innocent on this case, was clearly a criminal with antecedents and no sign of working on a better life. Even if he was innocent in this particu

So, it's better to potentially completely ruin the life of an innocent instead of killing him. From a humanity standpoint the first option is much more barbaric. Besides, what is the chance an innocent gets out if he was convicted in

To be honest, the way they are damaging their brand/products/OS just to make a bit more money is enough to be pessimistic about Apple. But it's very true that the state of the language can be felt in their native apps, that t

Great way to tell you have low standard and can't detect latency. The same thing has been said about the iPad Mirroring, expect it's effectively unusable for anyone half serious if you don't use the wired mode. For a quick te

Yep, I hope they work on something like that. Maybe we could get a chance for another competitive OS in the EU. Sometimes I wish they tax the hell out of those US behemoth in a way that would open space for EU companies to become competitiv
