The nonsense that has been spewed by those idiots in this thread do nothing other than clearly demonstrate just how odiotic Apple fans are.
Odiotic?
I know it's a typo, but odious and idiotic is EXACTLY what these fanbois are. Great word, it should be adopted into the English language immediately.
And don't let those odiotic grammar and spelling Nazis tell you otherwise...
I think it's prudent to question whether this bug in Google's browser is intentional or unintentional.
Chromium is open source. If this behavior exists in both Chrome and Chromium, then it's a bug, or most likely an unintended consequence.
If it's only in Chrome, you're right, it'd be a very good idea to question Google's actions.
Lets see, we can't get the younger crowd behind the wheel, so lets put the screws to the customers we already have. What could go wrong?
It's not for the young drivers. It's not even meant for you. It's for fleet buyers and leasing companies. Those are the groups who have real purchasing power, so if it benefits them, it'll become the default.
Individuals drivers may buy more vehicles, but they don't collaborate and make mass purchasing decisions, so they don't need to be consulted. In this instance, they'll be passengers, dragged along for the ride.
I can't see how that much data could be effectively processed for your average citizen be concerned?
The average citizen's data isn't effectively processed until they become concerned enough to do something.
Then they'll be subject to whatever manipulation the TLAs can bring to bear, based on their entire body of knowlege of that average citizen's life. Does your life bear that sort of scrutiny?
there's a very strange thing going on. Mobile web traffic has iOS using TWICE the amount of data over Android. Or, put another way, 1 iOS user consumes as much data as 8 Android users.
Only in your mind.
Or maybe if you're still living in 2008. Android data usage overtook iOS in mid-2011 and is currently sitting at a little over double Apple's usage numbers. Looking at actual recent US carrier data suggests that there's little difference between the two, and owners of both OSs consume roughly comparable amounts of data.

even so, the more likely scenario for the next 10 years is the "renewable energy power plant buffering energy using flow batteries" one rather than an "electric car filling its reactant tanks"
I have a 3.5 kW solar system on my roof that sells excess power back to the grid at 8c/kWh. At night, I pay 28c/kWh.
I use about 16kWh/day, around 40% of that at night. This flow battery takes around 20kg of reactant for a kilowatt hour, so I'd need around 120kg to meet current (ha) needs.
So, for my (probably not wildly atypical) situation, a battery like this would save me around $400/yr.
In other words, if you could produce these right now, with the power densities as stated, at a cost of $600 or less/kWh, they'd sell like hotcakes to private households.

Could work. It'd make most people look away in disgust...
We still rely on chemical energy to power our weapons and as such they all have the ultimate fail safe system.
Brace yourself before clicking the link. This may come as a surprise to you.
so there will be a point where upgrading ur PC is equivalent to swapping out the SD card or two?
The hell with that, imagine a Beowulf cluster of these things!
Does anyone know where I can get 24mm rackmount kits?
He's saying that the global average temperature has gone up and down in the past, without industrial levels of CO2 production, so that the correlation between temperature change and CO2 emissions is low.
And it is a valid point, so far as it goes. But it does not go far enough. Bayesian statistics are more informative than mere frequentist correlations.
