> I pull out my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 Does iOS still spam you multiple times per day to "upgrade" to the latest version of iOS? That sort of constant nagging has me seriously thinking of ditching Apple products entirely.

I was so excited when Microsoft demoed their Display Dock[1] for the Lumia 950s. It was the first step towards what you describe, a phone that becomes a desktop case when connected to the necessary peripherals. I am also saddened that it s

Should note that the UK is not part of Schengen. That visa alone is ~100 GBP if you need it.

I think it's a bit unfair to blame this squarely on the market economy. There's high levels of social fragmentation in the West leading towards the desire to censor the other side's speech.

Not to mention the effect on the person being hired: was I hired because I was the best candidate or because some manager wanted their bonus and had to fill a quota?

I don't think so. If anything the alt-right probably believes that the media is already under extremely strict control by the left. The elections made it very clear that the majority of the main stream media is in line with Hillary&#

I don't understand US law nearly well enough, but aren't they essentially suing for future damages (e.g. something that hasn't happened yet)? How does this work as anything other than a PR stunt and a trophy-for-everyone mov

I wish we could get some visibility as to how many Snapchat users are adult content creators. This is a segment that everyone seems to ignore, but I think we would be surprised to learn its scale and the amount of money flowing through it.

Yes. Remember that Facebook itself is essentially becoming what AOL used to be. AOL News was huge and it's still probably one of their most popular sites to this day.

It's also worth noting the context: the media/large segments of the population were (still are) clamouring for women in STEM. Holmes emerged as a woman in STEM, who was a college drop out, dressed like Steve Jobs, apparently had

I wonder if this marks the point where diversity (of thought) is officially a luxury afforded only to the wealthy. After all, this is the same Zuckerberg that warned employees that replacing "black" with "all" in "

It's also worth considering how Obama has given up any shred of integrity and bent over to the will of his party / Hillary. Prosecuting her could be seen as a waste of resources since a presidential pardon would likely follow. I

It's interesting that in the midst of all this, Holmes is carving out time to host a Hillary fundraiser[1]. I almost wonder if we'll see the government/military magically acquire her company at a pre-scandal valuation in a co

It also creates an incentive for people to use their real information and fill in all those additional fields that people love ignoring (date of birth, phone number). Advertisers will be quite pleased.

Trump and Putin actually seem to have a very good relationship and have spoken positively about each other. Trump winning could legitimately foster a new era of better relationships with Russia. Hillary would probably be the opposite.

The extreme examples remind me so much of the Shivan ships in the Freespace series. I don't think the script replaces a professional designer, but this is awesome for brainstorming ship ideas.

You also see it in the naming of groups/movements (e.g. Black Lives Matter). "Do you agree with Black Lives Matter?". The almost reflective response is "yes" because saying no makes you sound like a KKK member.
