What's wrong with being classified as a rather violent but otherwise perfectly fine animal like an ape?
What about white men who risk being classified as Bill Gates, or Poettering? That would be really offensive.

because of control. It's control that drives innovation, not people's best interest.

So, while any sane person reasoning in a vacuum would eventually decide that the internet should be about sharing data on open protocols with a wealth of different clients so that hackers have no monocultures to study and attack, we have web browsers happily executing js from sites whose url is gotten by executing js (possibly to make noscript users give up) and the government of elbonia able to tell you that that yourbank.de certificate is legitimate.

This generation has to go through the same hell through which the previous one went with windows, and given the nature of the notifications in my sis' smartphone, we are near.

Don't be silly. Everybody knows we employ lapidation. Hold still a sec, will you?

Prophetic captcha: rigidly.

Who knows. Maybe they did.

Thanks
that one was
a most interesting read.

We were discussing the changes after a certain point in time (the birth of Chrome if you will) being all fuckups, I guess.

For people who don't understand what they are doing, they still are making a notable streak of disasters, with an odd distribution.
The average moron gets things right by accident sometimes.

Yet

An alternative theory for the same conclusion, which I favour because experimental data is more accessible is:
Climbing mountains implies the increase of possibility of falling to great depths. Which means that, statistically speaking, when you go to the mountain you have indeed less mass beneath you than if you walked and occasionally fell elsewhere, where the depth is lower, or in the sea, where you float in mass denser than air.

Gotta love science.

Let's connect the dots.
Recently a study says standby appliances cost billion of dollars.
The energy companies then study alternative ways to waste energy, since possible regulation may come soon.
At one board meeting, the CEO asks "So how can we squander more energy?" and a young guy hesitantly raises hand and says "There is that thing called bitcoin mining, people waste electricity to solve cryptograph..."
  "OK, let's force consumers to mint whatevercoin NOW"

Nope, but a sudden increase of the time spent in the bathroom, or a decreased mobility, might be of interest for the medical insurance.

More accurate data is better data, and data is currency when mobile is involved, no matter if you believe in NSA plots or if you believe it's all about advertisement.

Of course Apple might be only in the process of refining the user experience. My optimum user experience would lie with a nokia n900-like fully programmable SDR with current hardware specs.

- What big GPS you have, granny!
- The better to track you with, my dear.

Don't worry, we still have nickelback and one direction.
