first they made the iphone 6+ incompatible with skinny jeans and now this. Next thing you know ornate beards will wreck the facial recognition in iPhoto or whatever they call it now.

Well sort-of. The thing is wall street speculation is now highly automated. If a stock starts to slip before the numbers are supposed to be released, all the algorithms start to throw off warning bells and cause a sell-off run much more efficiently than humans reading twitter ever could.

If stock slips during an earnings announcement, it is expected, and bots don't emulate panic... if it happens BEFORE earnings announcements, bots latch on to the pattern in what is essentially insider trading, but with plausible deniability.

the headline accidentally left out a word.

Windows 10 Can Run Reworked Android and iOS Apps, Badly

It doesn't matter what methodology you use or what you call it if your business model is based on exploiting your disappearing market position.

IBM's horrible business model is "Of course they have to buy IBM and once they do we will punish them for buying IBM by making them pay for IBM over and over again on the "integration services" and "custom maintenance" consulting racket.

That worked great back before every company was a software company, but in the modern era, every company with enough money to look fat and juicy to IBM can and must simply hire their own coders.

Basically the more coders there are in the world, the worse IBM will do. Or rather, the more people understand technology enough to realize IBM is a scam, the worse IBM will do.

I thought that was the only reason anyone had cable anymore, for the sportsing. Especially since HBONow is finally a thing.

Fountain Diet Coke still contains Saccharin (Or at least it did the last time I got a box of syrup), which is why it tastes better.

For most people, especially ones with NEW cars, the cost of fuel is such a small portion of TCO that gas mileage is almost inconsequential within reason. People get psychotic when gas swings one way or another because people are idiots, who cannot ignore the 20-80 dollars they spent today in favor of focusing on the 500 dollars they pay every month.

If Hulu plus actually worked, I would still pay for it and still watch the stupid ads, even at double the price. As it is I had to drop it, because we couldn't actually use the service we paid for. Netflix works bug-free on all of my devices. Hulu plus crashes on every platform I have used it on except PC (where you don't even need to pay for it). It is crappy software, and they think they can get away with it because they are the gatekeepers to "precious" content.

Netflix, on the other hand, is a better experience than piracy. Netflix gets my money (and more from me than the average person because I pay for an account with more simultaneous screens since my household has so damned many devices that work flawlessly with netflix).

I can't think of many companies whose business model is "Give the customers what they want" it is refreshing and amazing.

I was refering to 0 pay CEOs like Apple and Google. The guy in the article is doing something completely different, and far less slimy. I think the 70k ceo is awesome, and 0 pay billionaires are scumbags.

They have taken token salaries so that they do not have to pay income tax, NOT because they are heroes. "Compensated in stock" is another word for "Tax evasion"

It isn't cute, it is CEOs taking advantage of YOU directly, and looking like heroes when they do it.

I mean, I do not advocate the death penalty for stupidity, but I am shocked he wasn't hit by a sniper before he even crossed the property line.

Nature rewards us grandly for it. If "nature" didn't intend us to seek food and entertainment, our bodies wouldn't fill our junkie brains with dopamine when we do it.
