I disagree, there have been many people making AMAZING art using MSPAINT for years now. Yes it's not designed for it, but it's good simple tool, kind of like an etch-a-sketch, and you can do some cool stuff with it.

No he did not rob us of the first female president. I was totally behind Obama, he was a great president and a great man, but Hillary has a history of being a lying cheating sack of garbage. She can't see anything other than the fattening of her own wallet and being in the history books.

Just why the hell would people steal these things? I guess people will steal anything.

Game testers are treated even more like garbage, often they are employed by a separate company, and crammed into the basement for minimum wage.

Doom, World of Warcraft, and hell I think even Bejeweled and Farmville probably make the same list. Every year, or every other year people are crying the same thing about what ever the new hot game is out there.

Looks like it's time to start buying cars in the US to import and sell in Europe. I'm guessing that you could get a nice premium for an unlocked american car as long as it meets all the other EU standards, such as stop/tail light colors.

You've got the wrong metaphor.

Open up the session monitor in your browser of choice and you'll see it as a series of requests. Now the metaphor is much clearer: you're ringing them up, and asking them things. Your browser, on your behalf, is sending the data that lets the session persist and allows inferences to be drawn.

I think the idea that this is 'users' data' to be misleading. It's the company's data regarding a request from a user. If I keep track of how many red or green apples I sell and in which months of the year and whether the seller is male or female or tall or short, that's sales data.

Yes, the way i said it was super simplistic, just like the article above.

You could design the most perfect self driving car, but it might not be the right time in the market for it, or it could be too expensive at the time. Kodak designed the first digital camera, but it was also at least 5 years too early. Just because someone can do something doesn't mean it's the right time to do it.

Because it's alot easier and better to copy chips that are still in the process of being made, than ones that are already built and glued together.

Go with a pixel, it's got stock android, with no extra bloat ware, and gets the updates first, and the over the longest time period since they are googles own phones. You don't have a headphone jack, but you do have usb-c and with the pixel 3 you get wireless charging again, they dropped that for a few years.

Dude, go play fortnight or what ever the game of the week is and there is probably a bunch of kids using this thing to totally own your ass.

I get it that there currently needs to be some kind of base that the heart grows around, but what is it made out of? If it is just just regular plastic, why not make it out of something that is dis-solvable by some kine of water or maybe salt water solution, that way after the heart is built, it just gets washed out in the inspection process. I'm sure that smarter minds than mine have thought about this, but I know there is always an easier way.

Yes, I'll agree, but with current nuclear regulations, I don't see a new reactor being built at anything other than a snails pace, and that's if were lucky. Plus what do we do with the waste later, we currently can't agree to a good solution to what we have.

I doubt it'll ever really catch on, it'll always be niche, because it's too immersive, but something will usually be wrong with it. AR will also have the same problem, no one want's it to just be ads for stuff all the time with is what it basically will be really quickly.
