Standardize batteries.
Demand by law all batteries must be replaceable by the customer.

It's the same shit as having standard USB charger or standard AAA, AA etc. batteries.

The site is anything but plain text.
It may look this way but it is a mess of markup and css and even js.
Switching css off renders it completely unreadable.
What it really needed is a single tag and text inside.

In case of applications icons serve as visual cues to what it is like names. All this redesigns are essentially same as changing apps names every month. Yesterday it was Ms Word, today its Ms Writer tomorrow Ms Scribbler.

We don't need no netbook. We need small - the size of a smartphone - wired (no bluetooth bullshit) keyboard. Then you hook it to your smartphone and have all the benefits w/o any drawbacks. For bonus points, I'd take a very small usb-hub and add a mouse.

I can tolerate them taking away the jack if they add two or three extra usb ports. You can't charge the device with a keyboard plugged in, ridiculous! Now they want me to be unable to listen to music while charging.

No, not yet. Half Life 3 is yet to come.

Pretty please don't base your posts on BBC broadcasts, I nearly split my sides reading your bullshit.

Google preloads their devices with some apps, no big deal.
But they also prohibit preloading of competing apps, which is worse. That's what they've been accused of.

This is a good case in hobby sports vs professional sports.
As a hobby, playing games helps you to have fun and improve yourself.
As a profession, it just loads you with useless things. Like those french words the champ is unable to use.

The real problem is not that driverless trucks will destroy jobs. It's capitalistic system where man has to get a job to get money. We now have robots everywhere. In factories, in home and on the road. Is it paradise, where man at last doesn't have to work? No, it's a hell where man can't get a job. What nonsense.

It can't become a translator any time soon. It's not even an adequate dictionary yet.

Yeah, because everyone who starves should buy a car. If you're so poor ride a bus.

Killing a politician with subtle electronic sabotage is not appealing to terrorists. It is not dramatic. It is quiet. Terrorists would rather blow a city block with TNT to kill a politician. Killing somebody using defibrillator suits spies or other government agents.

The real problem is that reports is misguiding. What really is used in those batteries are the metal electrodes. The electrolite isn't used up (except for eveporation) and can be anything. The "urine power" is just cheap marketing trick.

Install some virtualization software e.g. VirtualBox and install whatever OS your guests like. Then clone the image for each guest to use, and delete it after that.
