One of their implicit pitch is that Jolla is "surveillance free". And it can run Android apps. I think these two features are good enough to spark an interest. The spec looks also impressive. But freedom doesn't come cheap at

Unless the US government decides to shut it down it will only go up in value with increased adoption and deflationary property.

Yea, seeing zedshaw's comment I thought he was about to ridicule the guy for whatever reason. This was unexpected. A good deed, though it doesn't make him not a bullying cock all of a sudden. He's a stellar rockstar with atti

Finally, a flagship-worthy phone that lasts for a day! I think there's a major discrepancy between performance and battery abilities in the current flagship market. Specs are being beefed up with little care for power consumption. Moto

Bitcoin resembles a lot more a one bank operation where accounts are settled immediately and at zero cost. Not an interbank, expensive, RTGS system. I would also rather ask not how Bitcoin can squeeze into the banking system jigsaw puzzle,

I get the story and am sympathetic to the OP, but a little confused about this line: And while I'm at it, I might want you to die a painful death too. Is he just angry at everyone?

I'd like to recommend this article by Phil Plait aka Bad Astronomer. If there's any worthy astronomical event, he has it covered. And covered well. http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/11&#x

Would it be so vulgar and inappropriate to spell out "asshole" in the title? I find this "a-hole" masquerade just silly.

Wow. Great piece. Kudos to Matt for reading this. What's best way to carry a message, if not from the lips of a celebrity :)

I have a question. What can people do to stop this? I've seen numerous protests, a lot of uproar in the press, grassroot initiatives. But did any of this change anything? I mean, hell, even the great 2008 election for change didn&#x2

Very nice. One note though. When I look for "puts", I get OpenSSL::Buffering#puts when I'd expect Kernel#puts. "kind_of" gives me RSpec::Mocks::ArgumentMatchers#kind_of. I think you should assign proper weights.

I wish more articles had tl;dr s like this one. Very helpful. Often you have to skim through preludes and side stories with jokes to piece the gist together.

Russel Brand is right. There's no point in voting as there's no actual representation. Political establishment serves the money. More money today than ever before. Like with commercials, people are fooled into the electoral system

Oh, memories. I've been using Winamp for at least 10 years. I still have a Netscape skin for the legacy version (came out with Netscape Navigator, I believe). Yes, Winamp was the audio player back then. I switched to Winamp lite when

I loved the early Google. A lot. But it's dead now. What's left is just the name and a dusty plaque in the corner that reads: don't be evil. It will still attract smart people, but they will be of other kind to match the new

This talk of legality is fine and honorable. And I'd certainly stand by it if the law applied to the opposite party respectively. However, those in power are not only in position to craft the law, they're also exempt from it. Unti

This is what YouTube should be like (or how it once was actually). However, I agree with others that building a UI on top of it is not much of innovation. I'd rather see new and better apps instead of new and better props for the old a

It's good to see there are still people at Google with integrity and not afraid to speak up. Sadly, they do not run things. In this environment, you either quit or turn to the dark side.

Ha! Oracle and donate - this is an oxymoron. Just like Steve Jobs, Larry doesn't believe in giving away stuff for free. He's one of the greediest people I know.
