Apparently AT&T had a consultancy firm do a study which concluded people didn't want them. From today's Computerphile:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Exactly what I was thinking. The current Google Apps is more than I'm willing to pay for it, but $20 per year is reasonable. I'm just glad I'm grandfathered.

For me the real innovation here is significantly reducing the rolling shutter effect. 1000fps is just a byproduct of the tech to do that.

It wouldn't be so bad if we got incremental updates rather than the massive download every time. Absolutely kills my net connection for a good hour (Aussie internet, yay :/) every time.

To me this is something that should have stayed as an extension. I'd say only a minority of people will use this feature (I have a Chromecast and I can't see it getting much use). Why do we need this built in to what is meant to be a fast and lightweight web browser?

I'm playing it. It's stupid, it has no depth, I didn't even grow up with Pokemon (I'm about five years too old), but it's actually quite addictive. Not something I'd ever spend money on though.

A guy at my company gave verbal four weeks notice (stupid, but still...), then when it came the date, which was well known by everyone in the company, they said he hadn't given notice. Didn't want to work with him over it or anything, so he went back to his desk, thought for about five minutes, then got up and walked out.

It's great that changes are being made, but I doubt it'll make it back to it's peak. Hopefully I get proven wrong.

The majority of the good open source apps have moved to GitHub over this, and user trust in the site is dead. I know myself and a number of people I know don't go there anymore, hell, uBlock even blocks it by default.

Type pegging in to Pornhub....

I produce a lot of JPEGs that earn me money and find me clients (photographer)... DRM? Nope, do not want.

As opposed to a regular database...

I believe this is one of the goals of Star Citizen and the way it generates missions for players and NPC's.

Been there done that. Lol yep, lost half a day on it...

Thank you, helps expand my non-existent knowledge.
