You'd be surprised how many people will buy them. I used to work with a guy who had more or less automated dumping whatever memes were current onto Teespring and spinning up new Facebook pages to sell them. For a monthly $500 FB ad inv

As everyone else has said - ditch the Touch Bar, double the RAM. Also, crazy suggestion but I think it's a much better solution than jumping on board the bizarre "everything needs a touchscreen and 48 hinges" bandwagon; make

I've always got a giggle out of how much nicer it is to use, and how much faster it is than the actual Apple Podcasts app.

Favourite author by a long shot, but I wish he'd give the endless sex scenes a rest. We can do a space opera without his weird fantasies about zero-G boning with a space princess. Also Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained are fantas

Would you be equally outraged if your country interfered with someone else's elections?

What's your point? High standards are... racist? Classist?

> Black cabs are fairly expensive and mostly driven by white people Why is the colour of their drivers a problem? Are you suggesting there's something preventing people who aren't white from driving a cab?

It's funny really, outside of religion, people don't seem to be naturally inclined to be both charitable AND scrupulous. Personally, I'm ok with a charity associating their work with religion if the end result is positive. Yo

I like to leave copies of Mein Kampf lying next to copies of Das Kapital, just to keep my guests alert and on their toes. Also I've found it tends to lead to a general decrease in the amount of time it takes for someone to be labelled

I liked this piece right off the bat, not because the content is relevant to me but because it took responsibility and initiative, unlike many similar such articles I see on here. The key is in the title "What we need from Apple TO MAK

So weird, same thing happens to me - I can drink a huge can of energy drink, or a strong coffee or anything else with a lot more caffeine in it than usual and within 20 minutes I'm ready for a nap. Not medical advice, I'm not a do

In SA, I've really not had any luck with Deliveroo outside of the CBD - it only seems to work if you're right on top of the restaurants. UberEats seems a little better, but it still really restricts how far away from a restaurant

I'd be more inclined to blame the reduction in violent crime in NYC on it's staggering large and well-equipped police force. If a criminal really wanted a gun in NYC, they probably aren't going to obtain one legally so making

It really is, why even bother sending them? Even if the directive was to break contact when fired on, you can't safely do that without firing back! It's just absurd, and unnecessarily dangerous for the soldiers on the ground.

Yes, yes it has. I'll never understand why people are perpetually surprised when China bans X, or rounds up people for doing Y.

I honestly don't see how you could use $1bil to legally disrupt Facebook, it just isn't enough money. Perhaps you could use that money to start another company, not a competitor, and hopefully turn enough of a profit that one da

Unfortunately, FB is about the only way I can keep in contact with a lot of my old friends since they don't use any of the alternatives and are also scattered all over the world. What is really creepy though, is signing up for a new ac
