Only Apple can have someone effusively thanking them for what effectively amounts to abuse. Unbelievable.

Why the focus on electric vehicles? Am I wrong in assuming residential energy storage would be a bigger market?

Sounds suspiciously like a technique I saw on Sesame Street as a toddler. I'm 42 now and I still use it. In the episode, Big Bird (I think) would say goodnight to each of his body parts...so "Goodnight toes, goodnight foot, goodni

This is why I was always bemused at the glee with which people reacted to the deaths of all the other smartphone endeavors. And the tech press played a huge role in this with their blatant bias as well in my opinion. A healthy platforms war

I let a brash, know-it-all, developer shoot himself in the foot instead of pointing out that the things he was doing would lead to a catastrophic data loss. I was pretty young so it's not something I would do today.

Their platform, their rules. Good on Apple I say.

Why should Apple be the only ones making money hand over fist from China (and be lauded for their eye popping revenues every quarter)

I don't know about an LSD trip but I've often wondered what exactly a baby perceives while in the womb or as a newborn. Their brains aren't just sitting there as a blank state so they are experiencing something. I wouldn&#x27

I think this is the first time I've ever seen someone use Goldman as an example of a "cool" company. When did that happen?

Yes, why wouldn't they.

Serious question, has Accenture ever built a successful large scale system? Round these parts we call them "Accidenture". They are always involved in high profile project failures, though that are big enough that these might just

Very cool idea. Someone will polish this up and it will be one of those mobile games that will go viral for a little while. Suggestions, add a comprehensive scoring solution, two letter combos (ng, io, ee, etc), classic tetris shapes would

This would imply the Linux Foundation are greedy shills. I somehow doubt that.

I do. I build all my geeky/experimental back end services in .Net Core these days because it's quick and easy and dare I say, fun.

I doubt there is much overlap between the hardcore gamer market and Apple anyway.

There are now breathalyzers that are near enough as accurate as blood tests that are admissible in court these days. But they are huge machines kept at the police station after you've been hauled in after failing the normal road side b

I'd be hesitant to read too much into this. When was the last time an Apple product had a slow start and then fizzled out. Those that start slow tend to pick up steam in due time, the latest being the Watch.

This article hit me hard because I've always tended to look at away from anyone who is disabled. Partly because I feel I'm being rude, partly because I don't like to see people suffering (even though in most cases disabled pe

I still think FB is a useful tool, but it puts things into perspective when people try and argue that Microsoft of the 90's is/was evil.

I live in and work in a small African country with very corrupt leadership. This stuff disturbs me ever so deeply. I can easily see a future where despotic governments use this technology to wipe out their detractors.

I'm surprised that there is not a big enough market for rabbit meat to take care of this problem elegantly. I haven't had rabbit since I was very young but I do remember it being absolutely delicious.

Is it smart though? As in, is it actually thinking or is it simply acting on impulse/reflex/instinct?

Ahh, I got a friendly SMS "reminder" to log back into Facebook when I got a new phone. Haven't logged back into Facebook since I got the new device, primarily because I don't use Facebook all that often. But despite the

Never used Slack but I've followed the cycle from little tool that could, to hip tech buzzword, to celebrity startup and now seemingly back down to...do we really need this? I wonder what will come next.

Full version of Windows. And want to know something else? The UI layer was html + javascript and some funky css that ran on a custom modified version of ie6. Beneath that, to handle fetching of data, comms, navigation, window management and

I worked for Diebold on their ATM's for a while. I was surprised to learn that they run full Windows. In fact, one of the projects I was on had a requirement that we upgrade the OS from XP to Windows 7 for security reasons. Regardless

It's a scary situation. Cape Town is a very popular tourist destination and one wonders if that industry as a whole is managing to comply with the restrictions (thus adversely affecting business)
