he's right, dont force them to sell chrome, force them to sell off the Advertising business.

Finally. Google has been abusing the dominant position of chrome, most egregiously with the recent manifest changes to boost their Ad business. Chrome needs to be pried out of their greedy little hands now since they have done away with "dont be evil"

and nothing of value was lost.

then you're beholden to their choice of programming and their choice of subsidy. Ive no interest in subsidizing ESPN , or paying for commercials, and when you let them bundle, you get to do both! I'd willing to pay more to put my money where my mouth is, but theyre taking that choice.; its a shame it wont be to studio ::dusts off the old tricorn and eyepatch::

Yeah, but i can choose whom i pay for what. Ive no interest in paying for sports or commercials, thats why i quit cable. if sports was really all that profitable, ESPN could stand on its own 2 feet and wouldnt be shoved down everyones throat in a bundle.

meh. another Vista/8 Debacle. wait a year or two and MS will push "windows new" or whatever version it is to make everyone forget 11 happened. dont upgrade it will save you headache in the long run when everyone pretends it never happened .. (like vista, and 8, and 8.1)

So .. time again to block the Gupdate service. launch services, find googleupdate, disable

i'd love to read the article... but paywalled. seriously , slashdot should effing know better then to link paywalled garbage.

they were so quick to see if they could, they didnt bother to see if anyone had any interest in doing so ....

you dont welcome the loss of the lean-in-too-close mouth breathers?

no having to take a step back on purpose to step on toes of the guy behind you in line,

no more "elbows out" so people dont rub up against you in crowds,

.. I dont even have to blow cigarette smoke in the direction of nosy fake coughers...

If it weren't for the few people ignoring the precautions, and the OFC pandemic itself...

I don't think I could have asked for a more pleasant and comforting change to the social etiquette contract.

you're the sad person if you place that much value upon touching someone who doesn't want you touching them.

I hate handshakes, but they were required social etiquette. GOOD RIDDANCE.

good riddance to the 'Huggers' who always needed a threat of violence to NOT.
"im a hugger" no longer needs to be met with "well im a puncher, DONT"

Ive always had problems with the people in my bubble. I WELCOME the social acceptance of "BACK UP OFF ME"

I dont like strangers touching me, i dont really like acquaintances touching me, discarding the need to touch a stranger is 100000% an improvement.

DO IT.

After working debt collections USING a robo-dialer .. (you know the one that calls and goes "press 4 to speak to a rep" then slaps you on hold for an hour) - I can say that we collected on debts with less proof, sign up a collections agency and send em to work .

- yes Adamantly YES. - claustrophobic people, people whom get airsick , people whom dislike flying, Smokers- YES we DO care about how long we're locked in that flying brick, i'd honestly pay 30% more for 30% less time locked in there (im a smoker, i get airsick and i generally don't like flying) It already takes me 2 hours to get thru the airport, drink 3-4 drinks at the bar so im actually willing to get on the plane, and then add 45 minutes if i need to hunt down the only smoking lounge in an airport (like denver or atlanta) , then add the hour or two after we land to locate my baggage and get out. 30% flight time longer, sure , knockout the security lines, and let me smoke in flight , and i dont care if it takes a week, but currently No way no how, i already drive if its less than 800 miles because its plain cheaper, more comfortable, no GED-equipped minimum wage TSA agent goin thru my underwear, and almost as fast (12 hour drive time or 4 hours in the airports and 3 in the air).
