They killed the unlimited Google Photos storage too. I never used Google Music much, but the app seemed well designed and easy to use. I recently signed up for Apple One, and between that service (which includes Apple Music) and Amazon Music, I have plenty of music available to listen to anytime. YouTube Music is god awful now, so many ads it is ridiculous. JJ

Wow, talk about left wing bias. Has the end of Net Neutrality resulted in any of the horrors that left wing activists said would occur? The answer is no. Net Neutrality was a solution to a problem that never existed. You are all still streaming, downloading, surfing with no issues just like before. The Internet is just fine without more gubmint regulation. What we need is more Internet freedom, not less. JJ

They could care less. IT workers for Trump! JJ

Well, these distinguished mandarins of the computing world have officially crapped all over their fellow American IT workers who are forced to compete with ever growing numbers of Indian and Chinese economic migrants for jobs. They don't have to live with the consequences of Biden's insane policies so they don't give a crap. Sorry not sorry, I'm voting Donald J. Trump for President! JJ

I think there is a market for this phone. I love the removable battery, reminds me of my Galaxy S3. The rugged design is great too, good for people who work outdoors. Price is much more reasonable than an S10 or Note series. It's just practical while still offering many attractive features. I think it's going to sell well.

Check his bio, Harvard physicist.

Compared to the average liberal, you sound downright reasonable. As a man of the Right, I agree with some of what you said. The main thing we want is to be left alone to live according to our beliefs and values. That is why heavy handed top down solutions like ObamaCare do not work, they are one size fits all attempts to impose a set of values on a country of 330 million people. We do need to improve our healthcare system, and conserving our environment is a good thing for everyone as is investing in American created 5G networks. The wedge issues you cite should never have been the business of the federal government, but belong to the states. Kudos to you for calling out the left on gun control, BTW. That's a perfect example of a policy that just divides the country irreparably. While favored by some urban/suburban dwellers, its just a non starter else where and would be impossible to implement without civil unrest. JSJ

Hmm, where to start with your glib, patronizing, and totally fact-free assertions. There are plenty of people who aren't Christians and/or Trump supporters who are climate skeptics. The science regarding anthropogenic global warming is most certainly not settled, as distinguished scientist Michael Guillen attests: https://www.foxnews.com/opinio... Unfortunately for the pagan climate cult members, some of us do have a memory longer than last week, and can recall all of the global warming doomsday predictions from 20-30 years ago that turned out to be laughable failures just as the "12 years to doomsday" crap will one day be regarded as utter nonsense. The climate changes over time, as the Vostok Ice Cores have vividly illustrated. There are many natural cycles that impact the climate, including the solar cycle. I'm not saying that man has no impact, but neither has it been proven that human activity is the main driver of climate. Real climatologists can and should study and debate the actual science surrounding climate change, but the climate cult jihadis do not want a debate. Their message is "The science is settled. Convert, or be silenced, ostracized from polite society." Not very scientific or scholarly is it? However, their weird religion certainly inures to the benefit of the worldwide socialist/globalist movement that wants to put government in control of every aspect of our lives. How convenient...

Wired magazine has been spewing more and more left wing claptrap for years. I guess it is now a propaganda rag for the big tech enablers of the total surveillance police state. The FAANG companies and their bobbleheads stand for the exact opposite of everything that the founders of the personal computing revolution stood for. They are for the brainwashing and enslavement of the common man, while the denizens of the Homebrew Computer Club that Jobs and Woz frequented were fascinated with computing technology and sought to use it to empower and liberate humanity. President Trump is being impeached for not having committed a crime, regardless of all the baseless assertions and innuendo promulgated by Adam Schiff et al. The Democratic party and its media allies have wanted him gone since day one. He is doing great things for this country, and that is helping everyone including American IT workers. Edward Snowden is a hero who exposed the intelligence community deep state for what it is, and that deep state is a threat to the freedom of every American, regardless of your political party. #MAGA #Trump2020

Well, the historical record also shows the United States leads the world in emissions reductions, however even if we shut down our economy and all of our coal plants etc. China and India will still cause total world emissions to rise. So, all of the well meaning wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth by the SJWs in America won't mean a hill of beans. If they are truly concerned about reducing the use of fossil fuels, they need to direct their attention to those nations where 2 billion humans reside. A good start would be for them to promote the use of modern nuclear power, our only economically viable emissions free power generation technology. As far as their suggestions for modifying my lifestyle I say, I'm an American and I will make my own choices thank you very much. It's cold up here, and pickups are reliable and safe so I am going to continue using them and I plan to keep my power bills from tripling a la Germany as well.

Computer scientist Kevin Fu used to be SysOp of Bob's Golden Apple BBS in Holland, MI. I think it was WWIVNet.

I actually liked Google+ because there were actually more intelligent posts and conversations on their than Spacebook. Now they are shutting the service down and leaving everyone out in the cold, not to mention the broken photo album links. Thanks for nothing Google!

Completely agree. Well said.

So great to see a President who fights for America. Thank you to all of those hard working men and women who produce the energy that fuels our wondrous computing machines and powers American manufacturing. Now that global cooling is a thing, many will turn away from Al Gore's Church of Global Warming (TM). I'm proud to say that I was raised free in Zion, outside the Democrat-media-academia complex that latched onto anthropogenic global warming as a convenient tool to effect world socialism. Vostok ice cores anyone? Take the red pill, and I will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Meanwhile, America is back and people are going to work, raising families, and dreaming about the future. Welcome to Earth, 3rd rock from the Sun... #MAGA

OK sparky, settle down. Way to demagogue a non-existent issue. I've been using the Internet since 1994 and have never had any of the issues cited to justify "Net Neutrality" aka government camel's nose under the tent attempt to regulate the Internet....
