given that thuban isn't the North Star anymore, it moves across the sky, how can a shaft then be pointed at it?

@me.com and sometimes i still use the @mac.com variant just for the heck of it. Call me a hipster, but @icloud.com makes you one of those that only started using apple after it was cool :p

hellboy, in my opinion, is best read in order. The albums named "... And others" can in principle be skipped after strange places, but given how Mignola tends to use details from earlier books as plot generators for later books you're better off just reading in order. There's not too much of it anyway, only 13 main…

I'm the opposite: I prefer my heroes obviously superpowered (my #1 is hellboy, next is X-men), because it makes the story paradoxically more believable. I can believe that a being with superpowers can survive X and Y and Z, but a "normal" but talented human? Sorry, no way... Superman, wolverine, hellboy, ... they get…

In android that's called a feature :p

It's like actually reading the privacy agreement when you install google maps: they basically ask access to phone numbers you call, websites you visit, people you contact, places you often go, etc. For a mapping application...

as per your own words:

Then I must admit this is better implemented than in iOS

I'm just giving my opinion on Gwz's take that because iOS has more reported vulnerabilities it is automatically less safe and android is "safest", when in reality, android is a far easier target for malware (both in theory and in practice) and way less safe. And since most android users never use the power features…

I think that, they should at least screen apps for abuse and disallow third-party app stores, yes.

97% of mobile malware is Android, that's F-secure talking, people who's job it is to figure this out and shut the fuck up.

vulnerabilities alone don't tell the whole story. If half the apps on your app store can access every dark corner of your OS and send whatever information they want to remote servers without notifying you because that's a feature of your OS, then a virus doesn't need any vulnerabilities to work. iOS has way more…

Things like graphical user interfaces, multi-touch smartphones, digital music players, tablets as a category and computer animated movies existed only in labs and some very niche products. Jobs singular vision and capacity to pick and lead teams of extremely talented people capable of realising his visions changed…

I consistently copied the CS2 icon to newer versions, I love that green-blue feather and refuse to move on :p

The things you mention are abuse of the technology, not really of the term AI itself. I have a master degree in AI myself and see absolutely no problem with calling the tech behind this doll AI ...

Supertoys last all season...

The definition of what is AI just changes, two decades ago a chess computer was considered AI, right now advanced conversational algorithms are considered AI. You can't say there's no intelligence in there because really, what IS intelligence being there? I hear you talking and it seems to make sense, but how can I…

Well, for one thing I think an internals swap is more likely (like: you pay 200 (or something like that) to swap the internals out for new internals, you keep your body) than free-of-charge exchanges. The free-of-charge exchange wouldn't be economically viable in the long term, even for apple with their mountain of…

maybe buying the sport and the link bracelet as an accessory? The link bracelet is more expensive than the apple watch sport, but will probably be usable with future iterations of the watch so won't be obsolete...

Milanese loop looks gorgeous and is 649 of 699... (I want The link bracelet, but am going for Milanese loop because of price...)
