It's the worst when an update is pushed that re-designs the interface. Having to re-learn buttons can cause a dangerous situation.

Looking at you Google.

So a hydroponic medium for wheat\rye, not sure why they would need to use lights though. If anything they have too much sun. Biggest issue it seems is access to water and\or ensuring you reclaim as much H2O as possible, just giving as much as the plant needs.

I'm curious what is more efficient, solar to LED and a warehouses of wheat crops, or a green house style vertical farm harnessing direct sunlight?

Running Insteon devices with Homeseer and having zero issues, these folks can switch over to a number of self hosted options and still support Insteon.

Came here to post this, the term "activist" investor threw me off like this is a bad thing?

The solution to the banking crisis was regulation and control, which in today's age likely drives technical solutions (need an data archiving solution that can pull records in X amount of time? IT solution....). Breaking up big banks? Great, more entities that need new datacenters, more bandwidth, new IT staff, etc...

In the tech industry, regulation and control begets more technology and will drive demand and innovation for smarter, more integrated solutions. Facebook will look at "regulation" as a coding problem and work around what ever limits or control are put in place. GDPR? Great, hire more coders and treat it like any other problem faced in IT.

If Facebook, Google, Amazon are broken up I can only see this driving demand for newer more innovative platforms and may even drive growth.

I'm patiently waiting for a stock Android tablet with equal or better specs than my OnePlus 3. Can not justify the current price tags for little or no hardware improvement.

Still have to carry wired headphones when you travel anyways, until they install Bluetooth at each individual seat on the airplane!

No.

It has nothing to do with media DRM, but accessory DRM.

If you make a set of earbuds and want them to be compatible with IOS devices you have to pay a licensing fee to Apple for the pleasure based on their connector (patented) and now their proprietary (and patented) wireless technology.

Any device or accessory where you see a "Works with IOS" or "Compatible with iPhone" had to pay a fee to Apple, this is their major source in income.

"you're"

TL;DR your wrong, please go read the summary again.
