It's likewise trivial to avoid shitty sites that go far out of their way to degrade the user experience, and thanks to the internet's intrinsic nature there's nothing unique on an ad-monger's site that can't be found elsewhere. NoScript helps to build that list of shitty sites. Let the parasites starve FFS.

Fortunately for all of us, the judge applied some common sense and let them off the hook. Otherwise you could forget about police ever chasing a criminal again blindly through red lights, endangering legitimate motorists and bystanders through mindless but exhilarating disobedience of the law.

FYFY. You're glad they drove dangerously and with no regard for public safety through a red light? You're part of the problem.

Ceramic would be amazing but what caught my eye in TFA is they're "working on a version for rotary engines". Imagine a Wankel without those shitty apex seals exiting the tailpipe after 100k! Probably still guzzles oil though.

I looked for 4k displays at the Apple Store and they don't stock any, nor will they provide a date for when stock might appear. Nice to know they're on board with HDMI 1.4 though. A bit surprising it's not some crippled proprietary connector with special Apple-designed cables with a fragile chip inside to provide plenty of early failure opportunities.. They do listen to user opinion sometimes but only when the world is inexorably moving ahead regardless. maybe there's hope for Mac users getting full 4k youtube after all.

glyphosate is a large part of Monsanto's argument for more roundup-resistant weeds^W GMO crops. It's proven to have a nasty track record of encouraging superweeds, it doesn't decompose naturally & quickly in the soil as once promised to farmers, and it's certainly not benign in its destruction of symbiotic organisms naturally found in soil. Monsanto is a poison peddler and their entire business model requires duping the masses into doublethinking "safety" whenever questions arise.

That's OK, Macs don't come in 4k anyway. When they do I suspect they'll be interested in supporting Youtube.

Feel free to be part of Monsanto's unpaid alpha-testing group. Those of us who plan to be around for a while and care for the environment will stick to real food. The "organic craze" is not just about avoiding Monsanto's blunders - it's about sustainable ecology and doing your part for a better earth. Less pesticides is a huge win (ie, not poisoning your kids and pets and anybody in a windspeed*time radius). Organic typically means you have to rotate your crops, leading to healthier soil (ie, no dust bowl effect) and better nitrogen fixation for healthier more disease-resistant crops all round. Growing organic also means composting instead of imported fertilizers so kids in foreign countries don't have to sweat in bat-shit mines.

In addition to saving the topsoil for future generations (a big deal if you know squat about American farming) there's less runoff to poison neighboring fields.

Ultimately there's a ton more to organic than you know about, and I tend to blame your incurious child-like ability to believe anything told you by people in white coats. Oh, and Monsanto too, for being the biggest lying fucktard organization on the planet. They have no safety track record, have contaminated just about every crop market they enter beyond reasonable salvage while their marketing droids to spew out the same nasty jizz so fools like you can lap it up like old dirty hookers. Enjoy that on your GMO cereal.

My dog always poops while looking at the nearest human, often turning in mid-poop if strangers approach. I hope the researchers didn't inadvertently introduce bias by positioning or showing themselves in a way that changes dog toilet habits.

True all that. And you have to wonder if anybody actually believes the line, "We only collected metadata!"

Right... and they only looked at the nipples on all the porn they downloaded in between spying on Merkel and $FRENCHGUY too.

If it doesn't support js/embedded flash/whatever shitty thing Adobe thinks of next, I'm all for it. PDF is bloated past recognition. This atavistic approach makes sense.

Apple has a proven ability to pack up and move if the right stimulus presents. They're pioneers in avoiding tax, and IMO they're doing the right thing: instead of funneling billions to incompetent boobs like POtUS and cronies to prosecute oil wars, keep the dough and figure out how to use it later.

If Ireland's laws change Apple won't be overly hurt but Ireland will be left in a worse position than before.

Cool. Let it run the US gov't.

I know that song

Except that the kneejerk reaction to revealing a workaround to a broken and largely fraudulent system is to FIX THE BLAME, NOT THE PROBLEM. In other words, the fraudsters got away after making their mint selling polygraphs.

I'm surprised the smart people in gov't aren't lining up to congratulate Snowden for having the balls to do the right thing. Give the man a medal FFS.
