   I'm probably getting Blockr ( http://blockr-app.com/ , .99€) just for the option to block the idiotic cookie warning overlays brought by the "cookie law". The rest of the options looks tempting too, specially

   Apple also doesn't invest in the web like Google does because : - the majority of its revenue ain't ads, search, services, - they actually have a desktop platform. Google is trying to make the web as a panacea for specially this r

   You can compile and sideload an open source content blocker on a 32bit device. But performance on some sites is slower then without blocking because of the regex performance difference, it's almost 50% slower. I'd quote the statem

    I agree with you. The only downside of this attitude might be the customer trust on the long run and with their future products. Basically, how long can they afford to be mediocre in those areas and will they eventually run out of people wh

    The whole reason the 4K bandwagon exist is to push people to replace their whole media hardware stack again. They tried with 3D, but that flopped, so apparently more pixels are needed, so you can see the media with more clarity from the sof

    My question is that if someone is using false identities while operating this kind of business, why have a LinkedIn (or insert site X with data you don't own) site in the first place?

    I wouldn't call them one tricky pony. iPod, iTunes Store, iPhone, iPad were all "one trick ponies" and yet they changed the tech.

    Sounds like you have too much time to invest in others. Relationships are naturally intended to go colder as time goes on and people and their priorities change.

    This reminds me how former classmates (2000-2003) made easy money with ads while putting downloaded hardcore pictures online in a gallery, stuffed ads on it and joined some affiliate sites. Twenty galleries like this and there came easy mon

    But that's not a Mercedes Benz, it's a Smart. Same as BMW purchased Mini. You don't "pollute" your brand with cheaper products, once you're established like MB and BMW are.
