But not the Pixel 2. Try them side-by-side and you'll see. Everyone in my family has a different phone and when the picture has to be good, everyone asks me to use the Pixel, even the Apple fans. And in low light, there is absolutely no comparison at all.

If Apple didnt have such an established (and well-earned) reputation no one would even be having this discussion.

Most informative thing Ive read on /. in a long time. Thank you Sir.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Eating other animals has been common for 2 billion years or so. Seems pretty damned natural to me.

And all this time I thought they were Battlestar Galactica fans!

Its just as illegal to leave your car unattended with the keys in it, as it is to be the one stealing it. How is leaving customer data unprotected any less criminally negligent? Its past time to have the FBI publicly walk these CIO's out to the van in handcuffs. Security would miraculously be fixed almost overnight.

I really liked working there, as did pretty much everyone else, and never saw anyone work a 100 hour week or even close. I only left because I found a much shorter commute. All the media coverage about how awful they are is I think completely blown out of proportion. Other than letting new hires show up to work in pajamas, it was a pretty cool place to work.

Fact checker: Bethania Palma. The far left failed journalist that rushed to MSNBC's Malcom Nance's defense when he called on ISIS to bomb Trump properties. She called the tweet 'poorly worded' and reworded it to 'prove' he never meant that. Because ISIS was actually backing Trump.

Yes, Bethania Palma, bastion of factualness and objectivity, and the reason not to trust Snopes all that much anymore with politics.

Perhaps you need some of that "emotional/mental stability testing" before you are allowed to post again?

If it works on self-driving rental scooters, I'll give you $500 million!!!

Could be. I was thinking more Parkinson's Law: "The demand upon a resource tends to expand to match the supply of the resource (If the price is zero)" except in this case the price is negative. Its cheaper to crank out crappy software, bloatware is profitable, slow leads to new hardware purchases with even slower OS's installed.

Well, no. Because computers got "fast enough" software vendors got "lazy as hell". No need for good code when RAM is cheap. Twenty layers of middleware is fine as long as you have 16 cores and an SSD. So what if antivirus consistently ties up 90% of the CPU. It doesnt really matter how powerful the machine is - you have to aggressively manage stuff like crapware and bloatware and background tasks to make anything barely useable.

Might be a fairly short-term fix. Remember Coca Cola's CEO saying "A billion Coca-Colas ago was yesterday morning" and that was 20 years ago.

I just changed my service from Internet/Phone/TV for $99 to just Internet for ... $99. Filed a complaint with the FCC, and they dropped it to $49, and billed me $165, and just filed another complaint with the FCC. I dont mind paying a fair price, its their business model of blatantly screwing people that I object to.

Interesting. However, this assumes that fraud would not increase if detection was reduced or eliminated, and also that UBI would not be subject to fraud. The trick to UBI is making sure everyone and only every one, got a check. Perhaps biometrics - something as simple and foolproof as tattooing a barcode on your forehead at birth but without fulfilling Biblcal prophecy. Without simple foolproof verification it may not work. What UBI does better, I think, is that it removes means testing and thus what I suspect is a large component of fraud. Perhaps the problem of duplication and limiting it to US citizens is easier?
