"all users an option to unsend"

And pedophiles and cyberbullies the world over are now cheering...

An overly helpful racist AI chatbot...

Wait, Trump wrote Tay?!?

He codes?!?

Is there absolutely nothing that man is not great at?

Instead of sugars or alcohol, test for roughies.

Test for what *I* care about, not what insurance companies care about.

If they are the "perfect breeding ground", why is it that my plans for word domination are constantly thwarted by antibiotic resistant cows who are also bacteria resistant?

Seriously, if penguins are a better culture medium, is there any other megalomaniacal evil genius who can confirm it?

Currently, we are using ferrets, and the results are less than spectacular.

Before they rush to raise funds...

The should run a pilot program with highly experimental, 20-years-down-the-road technology.

Implementing public transportation Which Does Not Suck(tm).

You know: something new, and never seen before.

Assuming they are successful, then they should come to us (the public) for funding.

P.S.: How's that whole "high speed rail" thing working out for you? You got your funding; where's our results?

Put it in the middle.

I think PHK is unlikely.

(Sorry, PHK, I actually think you are amazing)

How exactly would you damage one?

It's a lump.

It sits there looking lump-like.

Occasionally, you talk to it.

If it talks back, it's no longer just a lump: instead, it's a talking lump.

Mostly it just sits there.

I'd post the comment I just made out loud... ...but Siri informs me that I have just been fined five credits for repeated violations of the verbal morality statute.

8^p

Seriously Uber and Lyft dudes (this isn' sexist: they are both "Bro" shops): as soon as you own the vehicles, you are no longer a "ride sharing company", you become a "taxi company".

Why dos Apple have to turn off the slowing?

Haven't people always been able to remove the Facebook App themselves?

This would certainly save on recharging...

As soon as your battery is empty, get Apple o putt in a new, partially charged battery.

It's not entirely screwed up.

I mean, it's not like it's EXT3 or something. It actually commits transactions to stable storage before returning that the write completed to the kernel.

This issue is really one of lost data that's been cached in places like the address book or in the caller ID log, etc.m which has not been written to stable storage by commcenter or whatever other App happens to be involved.

So it's more like the data in cache is lost.

Hmmm... I guess it *is* like EXT3...

In any case, the issue is a problem, if you have crap running, and the phone shuts off on you in the middle of a 911 call because some at BookFace or some other company used a busy loop in their App that they let run all the time consuming power.

The thing is a phone first, a computer second, and if it can't fulfill it's primary role, it's no good.

You do realize that Samsung and Nokia have both come out and stated they do the same damn thing, for the same damn reason, right?

That It's battery technology that sucks?

If you give a damn about it, become a battery chemist and fix it; the rest of us will live with a "degraded" Angry Birds experience. It's not like you need more than 30 FPS anyway, it's not like an F'ing screen can display data faster than it's refresh rate divided by its interleave anyway.

F'ing idiot gamers...

This is fantastic news!

Everyone who is upset about the phone shutting down when it's in danger of simply shutting of on over-current, and destroying their filesystem, rather than showing down, can turn it off.

And then their iPhones, instead of slowing down, will shut off and destroy their filesystems.

And then they won't be able to call anyone to bitch about it, because they will have bricked their iPhones.

Genius!

Yes, being a common carrier would require them to comply with CALEA.

Without the rules, they just comply with CALEA voluntarily on Internet.

You still get wiretapped; you just don't get the projections that them being a common carrier would have afforded you otherwise.

For example: now that they are not common carriers, they no longer have to provide you with 911 service on your VOIP lines.
