I was very passionate about Wikimapia as an actual wiki for everyday people to add to in the first few years. There was a lot of graffiti, but it was also building into a great resource for local interest and history. Then the cost concerns

I'm interested in seeing how this plays out. I've seen such a volume of smartphones die in give or take five-year-old waves from "sudden death syndrome" EMMC failure. Right now the Note 4/S7 series are really peakin

Anyone can create a poorly made adapter or a poorly made plug. My question is why would an industry leader put an elementary risk at the forefront of a new technology? The pins should be shielded. Third party garbage is inevitable, and too

Am I wrong in thinking the only thing this does is protect Facebook's financial interests? Don't they profit from the proper app and ad based mining and selling of this information anyway? There are so many references to the underground bac
