and iPhone is made (assembled) in China by Foxcon. Your point makes no sense, Apple paid Samsung for the parts delivered. Samsung has a long history of waiting what side wins and then cut and paste the winning one.

OK, but how did they move the water? I can't load the Uni page to see how much water was needed but if we're talking miles or tens of miles, we should be talking about a lot of water. Water that dries very quickly so the path has

I, for one, keep all my nuclear launch codes in an offline drive :-). really, most US users better be worried about NSA and local PD, they can jail you, China can't.

Then hopefully with more real world use Google can make it a more indispensable device that fits a lot more needs. Why hopefully? I don't understand what's in for the world, other than potential, real time spying?

Who needs the URL when you can search Google (instead of remembering a site's name /url) and see some ads first. This is the real reason, not usability.

Desperation makes one do many things they wouldn't normally do. He thought he'd do some quick jobs and get paid with days of payment submitted. Reasonable enough

First I respect his decision. For some it can addictive and if you feel like you can't control yourself it's best to avoid. However, he uses "getting drunk" and "drinking" interchangeably, there's a lot be

He thinks that Google is on "our side." Sire they were, when it convenient to their bottom line. Now, on commercial queries all above fold is paid links, not what's "best for the user."

Sure, but they can argue that your bill is cheaper because of this advertising money they get. Ultimately, you decide whether to use them or not, just like Google and Facebook tell you.

"Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel." Is this a turning point? Sure Google has clout and they're trying to buy as much government protection http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/ho

Everyone wants what Google and Facebook are having. Of course Verizon will offer assurances, remind us of their commitment to privacy, have a privacy policy...and then push the way past the creepy line, change the privacy policy little by l

Devil's advocate: what if MS, Google et al had all the US persons' email and files stored in Canada or Germany...on purpose? You type your email in Washington DC and then it is stored in a server somewhere in Germany. No can do sa

You know what we never have to do? Spend more than 5-10 minutes shopping for two weeks' worth of groceries. I don't even leave the couch, and when the delivery person shows up, they take the bags right into the kitchen. Now all

Except that appeals work is significantly cheaper than a large lawsuit at the district court, because it often focuses on legal error. They don't relitigate the case. You still ignored his main point, get the money now without delay

True, this will only change when Mr CEO or HR person gets jail time.

With what? Google, Apple et al can spend $100 Million in a heartbeat, where's an engineer going to find $xx millions to spend so can possibly win $100K or so?

They have horrible customer service and service for one reason only: because they get away with it. In many markets you have no real choice, and even if you do is the Horrible Comcast or just a as horrible Verizon, AT&T and so on.

Fiber, NO! Google will discontinue it soon, they just want to force AT&t and others to offer higher speeds. It cost a fortune and even if they get their money back, it messes up their margins. Everyone and their mom has a self-driving c

Bingo, that was my reasoning too. Bird in hand and all. Probably that's enough money to make every lawyer in their firm a millionaire (not that it's divided evenly) so why take the chance?

I honestly do not understand why the plaintiffs would settle this case. Lawyers? Maybe they did the math and realized they could pocket $XXX million to $1 Billion if they settled. On the other hand, engineers might get a $10 Adwords coup

That crap bothers me, autism is hip, especially Aspergers. If this continues, soon 50% of the children will have it. Then 10 years later, they'll come up with a new syndrome. Not to say that autism doesn't exist, just saying that,
