If the prices had been more reasonable, then sales would have been much higher.

"The red-flagged images are providing insurers with ammunition for nonrenewal notices nationwide."

Nope, most will not send out non-renewal notices at first. They will continue to collect the payments and if there is a claim, deny it. Then there will be a nonrenewal notice.

The laws do not mean a thing. There are just too many ways online to get a porn fix without verification.

I use the news tab all the time during a search. What I like about it is it does not have all the google sponsored ads and youtube videos in it and just give news about whatever I am looking for. Nothing worse than doing a serious search about something and having to scroll pass all the sponsored ads and youtube videos about the subject. I just want something to read, not to interrupt music or audiobook that is already playing in another tab. It is not to say it stops all of it, there will still be some but it does stop most that is unrelated to the search.

In other words, the winners may not have won if the contest was fair and not politically tainted.

it is one thing to add ads to new subscriptions and subscription renewals, but it was totally wrong to place ads on subscriptions that were advertised as and purchased because of being ad free.

I wonder how much this study cost the taxpayers. More tax dollars flush down the drain.

insurance companies do the same. They look at the bottom line and tell the hospitals how to treat their patients. It is a no win situation for the patients.

soon, Verizon customers could be seeing an additional fee for legal services on their bills.

plants can breath, bleed, breed, eat, get sick, grow old, die. Studies have shown they can show emotions and think. So, Why not talk? Just because they do not do things the same way humans do, does not mean they are not living creatures.

computers might be reliable but what goes into it is not always so. As they say, garbage in, garbage out and that is what happened in the UK.

"In a letter, GOP lawmakers complained that most of the households receiving the subsidy already had broadband service before the program existed"

It is like saying you cannot get food stamps because you were eating prior to getting them.

apple said, We took steps to protect our users by blocking techniques that exploit fake credentials in order to gain access to iMessage.

what they really mean, we were not making any money off of it so we cannot allow it

back in 1996, I ran a BBS and found a utility called LISA. You could carry on a chat with it online like it was a real person. I was surprised as to how popular it was. I remember a preacher started talking to it, and thought it was a real girl. I actually became embarrassed for him when he started asking her if she went to church and started going over the romans road with her. I eventually cut the connection.

Today, with chatgpt, I wonder how many people think they were talking to a real person?

I guess it is one way to get rid of all the dvds they have since they recently discontinued their dvd service.
