People are seeing on touchscreen phones, which is faster than typing. I can't believe you're surprised people aren't using BlackBerries! Once paying for texts stopped being relevant teenage girls moved onto smartphones and th

When you buy Apple stuff aren't you accepting that you're someone who pays way over the odds for it but that it's the price you pay for the lifestyle choice or something? I mean, I don't get it, as I always try and get t

You're conflating a few things there. Whilst companies like to make noises occasionally about saving the planet, doing the right thing, making (your country goes here) great etc, it's just horseshit. They exist to make money. That

I'm not sure how you managed to keep a straight face while typing that.

So I read, but that doesn't detract from his acting ability, which is presumably why his name is being used for this project.

Any hypothesis that only a minority of police are bad would have to explain why the good police who outnumber them don't do anything to make the public safer/protect the reputation of the police and law enforcement order generally

Not "caring about privacy"; having retarded notions that you can walk around with a tracking device like one might expect a criminal be forced to carry and somehow still have privacy by deleting this cookie or logging out of that

No need to uninstall Google Maps from Android as you don't need to allow tracking for the saving of home to work. It's odd that Google Maps and Google Assistant both have different methods and rules for the storage of home and wor

When that happens I just shift-right-click on them (in Firefox). There are add-ons if you don't want to have to do this.

It wasn't bullying. Imagination was a one trick pony with, to mix clichés, all their eggs in one basket. They were always going to be screwed when Apple continued far enough down their predictable path to in-house silicon. The people w

Don't you mean "it's amazing how many times I'd be better off wearing a watch/carry a cell phone"?

You don't only get it with Apple. Check out the Nokia 7 plus, or the Honor Play. See what you get for your money there too. Also, not everyone thinks Apple stuff looks that great. Always looks boring to me, like expensive cars. Designe

Yeah, good luck to them but I closed my 15+ accounts (yeah, you have to create a different account per topic), many of which had 4 figure ratings going back years, because of this pointless (to me) chasing of new users and bringing in &quot

Yes, notice that I didn't say the US produces no quality products.

Sorry to break this to you but outside the US "made in the US" is up there with "made in China" as an indicator of quality.

So what? I should start reading Nazi's comments on other sites now?

I remember those blogs. Somewhere between Usenet and Facebook. I found the ping back things annoying. If I remember rightly it was four or five pages of a copy of the first line of the article plus a link to someone else's blog but wit

No, I'm talking about actual Nazis, racists, climate change deniers, conspiracy theorist and other idiots. I'm more than familiar with their "typing" - I don't need to see it at the bottom of every story I read.

This site works because of the small numbers of people who are educated and there's sensible moderation.

Why did you sign up to an unsustainable service in the first place? It's not a big deal if they change the price. Pay up or leave, I don't see any problem here at all. In the UK phone companies are allowed to raise prices during

" it's the Comments section of any blog-shaped site." Something I never read on any site. It's just pure racism/muppets talking shit. If there were a plugin to block them I'd use it; I feel dirty even knowing t

Swell history lesson, but I don't care about academics and nor do the vast majority of internet users. They can use the internet too, of course, but there's no point moaning about web pages getting larger. I was using the internet

I'm not talking about IRC or newspapers though. I don't care any IRC and me posting something on Facebook is clearly not even remotely close to a newspaper running an article. I've already got my own opinion on the matter, I
