Odd use case for this, but one that would immediately solve about 8 of my 10 current headaches - put these in meeting rooms. No more WiDi to set up, no more meeting room PC's, no more cable spaghetti. Just drop your phone in, grab the

MS also feels like they've given up, seeing as they've ditched their phones.

IMO, issue in the past has always been performance - using those phones was just a frustrating experience. With something disgustingly overspecced like the Note8 I imagine you could probably get pretty smooth performance in most apps, even

Genuinely asking here, because I know very little about batteries; What happens when a gigantic battery like that starts failing and needs to be replaced? Can they be recycled or maybe refurbished?

At least the helmets don't have people's junk and a sweat on them all the time. Whole thing is pretty gross when you think about it.

Jail time as in, this feature is illegal? Or the journo would be in breach of some kind of NDA? Personally, I'm hoping for a driver-comfort feature that is so amazing that it's actually illegal. That just sounds great.

It's more a case of, they would already be forced to under existing laws and the new bill does nothing to change that situation. (if that makes sense?) What is a little unclear, is how the intention of a service provider (lets say, a p

It does come across as a bit odd, I can sort of understand not wanting to vote on something when you can't really see the full picture of what you're voting on. Hell just because this came up as a 'YES', that doesn'

Do we maybe need some kind of Mac-Reformation? Maybe Johnny could print this out and nail it to the front door of the new Apple HQ? (assuming it even has a front door, of course)

I'm curious, why pre-order something that isn't scarce? Just for the hats or whatever they're giving out as a bonus, or is it maybe a bit cheaper or something?

I'd heard and seen screenshots on Reddit showing the button being present prior to all this happening, and then disappearing. Is that not the case? EA's statement is not clear, it just says "the refund button only appears onc

Honestly not very exciting, and possible region specific to my neck of the woods (South Australia): Office 365 and Azure. Every non-tech company, and even some tech companies seem to be moving whatever they can into Office 365 and Azure. So

I suspect it's a result of "blanket" thinking - if we don't punish $illegal_behaviour, then people won't stop doing it. Unfortunately in this case, the punishment is the same as the punishment for just about every o

This makes me wonder about how viable it would be to offer some sort of hireable desk-space in remote locations. I'm thinking just a simple office with sit/stand desks, comfy chairs, a kitchen, a bog, and 24/7 access. Takes n
