Comment no more innovation (Score 1) 53

Apple has largely abandoned it's computer customers. Everything they do is focused on the iPhone. Macs used to be the go-to for any kind of graphical artist. Now they can't even handle most graphics programs well. It's sad that they abandoned their core artist base to suit kids sitting on coffee shops, showing off their Mac accessory.

Comment Don't worry! No inflation! (Score 1) 399

Wages are stagnant, but we have no inflation, so no worries! Oh yeah, groceries have really gone up in price, but they don't count! Gas is lower than it was four years ago, but that was a historical high, and the current price is still high, but not record high, so that's ok!

Submission + - Supermassive black hole rocketing out of distant galaxy at 5 million mph

Submitted by The Bad Astronomer
The Bad Astronomer writes: Astronomers have found a supermassive black hole barreling out of its home galaxy at 5 million mph. The 3 billion solar mass behemoth formed from the merger of two slightly smaller black holes after two galaxies collided and themselves merged. The resulting blast of gravitational waves is thought to have been asymmetric, causing a rocket effect which launched the resulting black hole away.

Submission + - The Senate let's ISPs to sell your data without your consent (arstechnica.com)

Submitted by ventsyv
ventsyv writes: The Senate, in it's infinite wisdom, has decided to bar the FCC from enforcing rules that required ISPs to get you to opt-in before selling your data. The resolution passed narrowly on a partisan vote — 50 Republicans voting for it, 48 Democrats against.
If the House approves this and the president signs it, ISPs will be able to sell your browsing history to the highest bidder.

Submission + - Why You Should Care About The Supreme Court Case On Toner Cartridges (consumerist.com)

Submitted by rmdingler
rmdingler writes: A corporate squabble over printer toner cartridges doesn’t sound particularly glamorous, and the phrase “patent exhaustion” is probably already causing your eyes to glaze over. However, these otherwise boring topics are the crux of a Supreme Court case that will answer a question with far-reaching impact for all consumers: Can a company that sold you something use its patent on that product to control how you choose to use after you buy it?

Here’s the background: Lexmark makes printers. Printers need toner in order to print, and Lexmark also happens to sell toner.

Then there’s Impression Products, a third-party company makes and refills toner cartridges for use in printers, including Lexmark’s.
