My wife and I got our Fire yesterday...and it's going back to Amazon. My two biggest disappointments: 1. No Gmail app (very obviously) and the built-in email client doesn't seem to support Google's 2-factor auth. It doesn't accept your acco

No teacher worth a damn would fail a student for producing something well and truly good simply because they didn't understand it. What a waste.

This sounds like a solution in search of a problem. Sure, there are a lot of knock-off products out there, but the people who care typically know how to spot the fakes. The people willing to spend $5k or (a lot?) more on products they know

Quite frankly, I don't think any legitimate argument can be made that this kind of surveillance is Constitutional. That's not the most interesting thought evoked by this story though. How many of you that are outraged by this leave location

Indeed. Including, but perhaps not limited to, possibly offending your hosts/organizers when you don't drink the Pepsi they so carefully provided for you. In the Western world we might not care so much if he leaves a few sodas on the presen

Delightful bit of complete bullshit. The complaints range from "I don't want these icons!" to "I can't find my favorite program!" If this blogger couldn't find Google Chrome, despite the gigantic search bar in the applications menu, then

Not a doctor, but my wife is a nurse who cares for renal and GI diseased patients for a living. She has told me that liver problems are common alongside pancreatic cancer and that patients often receive extensive treatment for liver problem

Encourage him to solicit more than just one proposal. Once he starts comparing the estimates he should have some good questions. It sounds to me like he got one estimate and didn't bother to look any further.

The million-dollar question now seems to be if existing Spotify accounts will be silently converted to Facebook accounts behind-the-scenes. Such accounts might even be created as completely locked-down private Facebook accounts available to

Sure they do. The on-board FMC is meant to enhance the capabilities of the autopilot. If you can reprogram the FMC then you can change where the aircraft is pointed.

Sure, it doesn't stop a criminal, but it implies privacy that could be held up in court against unlawful search.

It is interesting that two of the four categories in their analysis can be easily described as "niche usage" and one of the others relies on the mobile web browser. The single most common form of smartphone usage, mobile apps, shows that ad

Which clearly indicates to me that the fault lies with consumers at-large. We, the proverbial and collective we, are far too forgiving of the mistakes committed in the provision of services on which we rely. Relatively few people will be sp

I would think this isn't limited to in-vehicle hardware like OnStar, but rather it seems applicable to smartphones too. That smartphone in your pocket is moving just as fast as your car and could just as easily be used to gather such data.

It doesn't seem like a good idea at all. SSH caches those keys because computers are more capable of flawlessly comparing long strings of random characters than humans are. The cache is so that you, presumably a human, don't need to compare

Is it bad that the first thing I saw in his example is void methods returning strings and immediately scoffed and closed the window?

The article states that NCAs are contracts, but doesn't contract law stipulate that there must be some amount of equity between the consideration offered by the parties involved? Could a company really quantify the benefit of employment a

I'm not a lawyer or an SEC examiner, but I think securities fraud requires an overt fradulent claim, not simply the omission of potential benefit. Had Wilson been pimping Kickstarter as a profitable company (rather than merely a really cool

What if the developer repackaged the app without the URLs for CBC included? If the user had to put the stream URLs into the app himself, would that placate the technically-challanged CBC?

It seems as if you've allowed your UI to get in the way of your service, given that you've chosen features that are inavailable on so many web browsers. Was your intention to provide a service or to push the limits of UI design? I can't tel

Perhaps you can educate me on your better reasoning, but the only purpose I can see for an empty try block is to limit the scope of variables in a method. Quite frankly, if you find yourself in need of artificially limiting the scope of var

I think this works well for processed foods and non-perishible items, but I see a real problem with meat and produce. Shoppers are accustomed to doing their own quality control when shopping for fresh items. In a real grocery store it takes

One thing that doesn't appear obvious to me is the level of proficiency required (if any) to get started. I suppose that could be an expectation to be set by the community, but is it feasible for someone to make Verbling their first stop on
