What's a commercial? Since we got streaming Netflix seven years ago, I hardly see them any more (aside from the brief viewing of OTA TV).
In Netflix it's called "Product Placement". They will be delighted you haven't noticed.
Sounds a lot like the Psion I carried for years when I was a working consultant -- actually a series 3 and then a series 5. liquid crystal display, SSDs for storage and a very usable but tiny keyboard. A pity they never got traction this side of the pond. And ran on AA batteries for weeks -- a very practical pocket computer, something I miss when using my smartphone. With wireless connectivity (still many years in the future) it would have been perfect. Nokia and Microsoft made sure it died... but they still make industrial stuff.
It's making a comeback. Kind of.

Display ads, don't steal user data.
Ads don't generate sufficient revenue and the race to bottom on app pricing means selling them for 99c doesn't generate enough turnover to support them.
Mondo 2000 was the magazine that Wired was a bad sold-out imitation of.
I preferred Omni, which published some of Gibson's classic pieces such as "Burning Chrome."
Since the operating system is written by a company that colludes with the United States, who is actively engaged in cyberwarfare, it stands to reason that a foreign adversary would have the most interest in securing it.
Either way, Windows users are pawns. If you don't trust anybody with your computing, may I suggest learning how to program and using only open source software? That's what I did.
I'll bet you haven't reviewed the source code of all the open source software you are using.
Also, have you confirmed your hardware hasn't been compromised?
Right. No car == no movement, because there's no such thing as walking or taking the bus.
Buses are great if you live in a city. If you live outside a city (at least in the US), where you actually need access to a bus, they often don't exist.
MS can't possibly know all the ransomware out there, however, I think MS does a terrible job at fixing anything. I had a friend who bought a MS product but in working with it he found a bug. He calls MS support. They research it but they say with his level of support, they can't go any further without premium support. So he pays for premium support. Premium support confirms that it is a bug. He asks when a fix is possible. They say they are not going to fix it. He asks why the heck did his premium support money do? For the privilege of telling him that it was a bug apparently.
You and your friend clearly do not understand how Enterprise support works. It's not there to make code changes (even bug fixes) for individual users. It exists to make changes that improve the system for the largest number of users.
Not true. They're much harder to win in the US, yes. But they aren't impossible. If you outright lie, or severely misrepresent something, you can be held liable for it. And lets be blunt, Last Week Tonight is about the laziest "journalism" out there. He's covered some topics that were important to me where the 8th amendment applied and never mentioned it.
It's not journalism, it's a comedy show that mentions current events. If you want journalism, you should find a reliable news outlet.
The lack of a back button is the reason I'll never buy an iPhone. Just one button is a waste of space.
They eventually gave in and added "back button" as an arrow at the top left of the screen. Still not as usable, though.
...when paired with an AI-based algorithm
Sounds to me like it's the AI-based algorithm that's doing the detecting here. Not the watch.
But Flash was supposed to be the one who would kill the iPad!
Turns out, the iPad managed to kill itself without Flash.
why are you surprised? a sizable portion of the population remembers life before intertubes, and how we managed just fine. And still do.
Probably because this tends to be a techie readership and most tech companies use some kind of IM service.
Tesla is making cool cars that are good for the environment along with all kinds of other cool things. And now somebody wants to screw it all up by bringing in unions and making labor costs skyrocket. Trump needs to understand this is a two-way street - the reason companies send jobs overseas is because of sky-high labor costs in the USA. The only way that will ever change in the long run is to keep labor costs reasonable - which means reining in the unions. Same thing with health care - they can mess around with the insurance schemes and subsidies all they want, but in the end the only thing that is going to help is to address the root cause of the problem, which is out of control medical costs at the provider level.
The reason companies send jobs overseas is because paying a living wage eats into their massive profits. The CEOs don't want to scrape by on $50 million a year when they can live it up on $75 million a year. If that means some kid in India has to suffer, then that's the cost of doing business. As for health care, you know, the rest of the civilized world addressed it decades ago with a government run single payer system.
Because of the highly successful Mars Rover missions, many people have forgotten (or don't know) that about 60% of all missions to Mars have failed.
Not only that, but this specific probe's landing was an experiment in preparation for a future mission in 2020. The main thrust (no pun intended) of the mission was to position the mothership which will be gathering most of the data. It's disappointing the probe failed, but the information gathered and the root cause analysis of the experiment should provide good data for the next mission.
You scratch my tape, and I'll scratch yours.
