An extremely cynical view. However, keep in mind that Google and Apple are not a person (regardless of how the law looks at them). Rather they are companies made up of people, most of which live normal lives and have the same concerns as you do. They also want to make money. Both companies have a vested interest in…

I do a little scoff whenever I hear the "think of the children" argument. Our law enforcement is beyond inadequate when it comes to securing the safety and wellbeing of those who can't help themselves, most notably children. Domestic abuse in all forms is rampant and only a small fraction are caught. When they are,…

Why doesn't Kinja have the ability to report people?

Yea because it's not like Samsung makes most of it's money licensing out their products to other people. Also keep in mind that this is a company that colluded to raise TV prices, has a slush fund for bribing officials, knowingly and admittedly ripped off things from other companies (even if you leave Apple out of it)…

I was at the Apple store buying a case the other day and I asked one of the employees if I could pay with Apple Pay. She got all flustered and started looking uncertain and asked if she could ask her manager. I stopped her and said I was making a joke and knew it wasn't available yet. Apparently she had just started…

Well that's nice. I never read the books but watched the movie after it was released on DVD. I was disappointed (but not too much since I had already read the reviews) mainly because I thought the cast was great. The story really fizzled though. I think it had potential so I'd be excited to see what they do with a TV…

I've always heard that nasal sprays can be addictive/bad for you? What's the word on those? I hate blowing my nose and if there is a way to clear my breathing without doing it, I'd much prefer it, especially since, as you say, it doesn't really work.

Did you look at the causes of death up there? Unintentional injuries were way below most causes of death so there is no evidence to support that. Also this is talking about the US where deaths on the job are extremely low.

Sure it is. And you're an idiot and a troll.

I was just going to say...women have to deal with harassment, rape culture, being paid less, domestic and sexual abuse (more frequently), being marginalized in society, and all kinds of other horrible things, but at least they live longer!

Amazon only is able to succeed against Brick and Mortar stores because they keep their margins razor thin and even lose money on some products, they pay their workers as poorly as possible with high pressure, and they don't have to run rent retail space and pay retail employees, etc. As a marketing effort this might…

Yea you make a good point.

I don't get upset, as a reader. However, I like to read things I can trust. I realize these are just rumors but pundits and analysts have the one job of predicting and analyzing these companies and when they are consistently wrong time and time again, yet they still get top billing, what's the incentive for them to…

I feel like the biggest hinderance to the Fire is the Fire OS. Put straight up Android on there and it becomes one of the best cheap tablets out there.

Plex works on Amazon Fire TV but as far as I can tell there isn't an App for the tablet.

I've never used q-tips. I have an extreme phobia of sticking things in my ears and so I could never bring myself to do it. Glad to know that I've inadvertently been doing the right thing.

If the world is only 6000 years old though....

The robot utopia was surprisingly pleasant.

Actually given that smartphone sales rocket up over the holidays I think you're wrong about this. A lot of the gift smartphones are from parents and family members who are already taking care of the paperwork and billing. There are also methods of purchasing a phone for someone and letting them put it on their plan.…

I'm pretty sure the same factories don't make the iPad as make the iPhone. Like 99% sure.
