Yet, absolutely fucking nothing anyone can seem to do about it.

Anyone else would be in jail.

Give immunity to people you could prosecute for leverage, but they won't talk anyways. Pure evidence of intent and corruption, but oh well.

I mean, we might as well have the North Korean dictator feeding us propaganda. We the people know it's all lies, but we can't do anything about it and our state media is just bobbing their heads saying what they're supposed to say with their talking points that get sent out every morning.

Talk about totally fucked as a country.

Are you the same people complaining now that complained then?

Apple is no longer going to have a PC with the A drive? *gasp* How dare they? They are going to increase the cost to the consumer. Why do they hate the consumer? We still use A drives!!!

Now look.

You are the same people complaining now that complained then.

I really like this response.

I use it. Granted I'm not a daily poster, I never was on Facebook (deleted that account). I have friends and followers that will give me a + on many things. The communities are quite active actually.

If you hop on + and then do nothing, it will do nothing. If you get on and follow a few folks (think following on twitter) you'll be amazed at how much is actually posted. Join a few communities of things you enjoy, and you're page will be filled faster than you can imagine.

Some communities have hangouts / web chats. There is so much information and so much going on. Lastly, being a tighter knit community (lack of idiots and trolls) the content is better, the comments and people are better. It's currently a perfectly designed place to be for those in the know.

It's almost like we don't WANT people to know how good it actually is.

Facebook is the Walmart of the social media world. Sure everything you want is there but the quality is shit.

This just proves that you can be book smart and still be completely stupid and clueless as to how the real world works.

I have honestly tried... I mean honestly tried to use yahoo again. I love flickr and use it to store photos. I also use google a lot for gmail, google+ (yes I actually do use that), google drive, docs, etc. I felt like I had too much info at google. So I set up my defaults for yahoo. Even on my iPhone.

When I try and search the results are so darn maddening.

The search results would be fine if I was 60 years old, or 6 years old. Those of us in between who grew up with bad search platforms know how to make specific searches today, know what we're looking for, and google spits out what we want, despite the fact that I want to embrace someone new, no one else comes close currently.

Thank goodness I'm still running XP!

I don't use Uber, never have, never will so I have no skin in this game. But... it may not be such a far fetched idea.

Look at what happened recently with Gruber and the Obamacare fiasco. The MIT professor Gruber was being paid (and paid handsomely) by HHS... He wrote Op Eds in newspapers which were then picked up by the Obamacare supporters as independent confirmation that it was a good thing. Here was an independent MIT professor saying this was good. No where did anything cite that he was a major player in forming it nor did they say he was being paid by the administration. It was a full blown circle jerk to fool the people.

Bring it full circle back to this article --> An article comes out against Uber and slamming the company. Well a little money and research into that "independent journalist" might just find that they're getting paid by X lobby, or Y company. Maybe their best friend is in charge of the Cabbie Union (I would imagine there is such a thing).

So go after the journalists family and children? That sounds like F.U.D. to me. But maybe check in to be sure the journalist is legit and not some shill like Gruber? Yeah... Might be time we start doing that before we all get fooled again.

#gamergate anyone?

The stupidity of people will always amaze me. Sure the tax will go away when needed... Just like the death tax that was put into place to pay for World War 2. That will go away once that is over too right? Right guys?

They allow you to unfollow a friend? Wouldn't that no longer be a friend? Is this for the people who don't have the sack to call out or just plain unfriend someone? As someone that doesn't use Facebook, I just don't get the folks that do anymore. I must be in a group of Facebook hipsters because my group of friends and extended group either don't have Facebook (deleted or never had) and those that have it but no longer log in and use it, and one person who uses it to just troll and post political images purposely to piss people off.

I see it still popular with women. That and girly-men.

> yum update

Did Amazon think that 3com's Audrey aka the web appliance did fail hard enough?

and because pressing a button on your phone that's in your pocket will be more work than you're willing to put in to remember a task.

Jokes on them.... I still have my original copy!

I had the unlimited plan. I was keeping it just to keep it. At the time I had two phones and ran a Blackberry through AT&T.

I never used more than 2 gigs of data but I loved the idea of having an unlimited plan. After the caps were put in place I held out hope it would change. While it never truly affected me I ended up canceling and leaving AT&T all together out of principle about a year later.
