I was thinking the same thing. Is it possible to argue that because a consumer is just “licensing” an item, rather than owning it outright, it absolves them of the responsibility of repairing the item? Provided that it breaks from wear and tear, rather than negligence or malice. And as you point out, the burden of…

And for people who live in the boonies with no internet.

Gullible people.

On surface, this seems like a gimmicky tool. However, I can see this being valuable to the deaf people, especially those who don’t have a great handle on English or can’t interact with their smartphone’s assistants like Siri or Cortana.

I don’t know if it’d be financially beneficial to explore that avenue, though.

Here’s something I’ve been wondering: are the “drone-meets-engine scenario” really as scary as they make it out to be? There are countless stories about birds flying/getting sucked into planes’ engines, with little detrimental effect.

A chromebook is high on my list - and it will jump to the top when Adobe gets their Photoshop app done and thoroughly debugged.

Eh, am I missing something?

Eh, am I missing something?

True. But before TSA, security lines were rarely this long. I remember having to do the same drill of taking watches off, shoes off, etc., minus the patdown/invasive scans (most I ever got was a scan with a wand), before TSA stepped in. I don’t remember ever having a 90-minute wait, even during the holiday season at a…

Any word on when they’ll, if ever, allow desktop-to-IG interface?

If you or anyone else have suggestions for this issue, I’d love it: I’m hearing impaired, and listening to music is out. It’s inadvisable anyway. An issue I have with running, aside from my asthma, is running is boring as hell. I like exercises that are fun. I like exercises that challenges my brain in addition to my…

Came here thinking there’d be new easter-egg type info that wasn’t easy to find in helpfiles.

Doublepost, sorry!

I beg to differ...if we know about it, it’s certainly been discovered.

Think about how many people in, let’s say, hospitals whose lives depend on machines. People on life support, babies in NICU, people on pacemakers, etc. Granted, that’s a small percentage of the population. So let’s look at something far more worrisome.

Does Gizmodo need a copyeditor, by any chance? Reign s/b rein.

The “before” is on right. That bugs me.

Same here. I’m limping along with my 7-yo smartphone, and I’ll be traveling a lot next year, and will need something that can function well. I’m likewise not a big fan of the iPhone, and thus looking at other options. But I’m so out of loop I’m not really sure what I *need* beyond a good keyboard interface. I rarely…

As someone who’s still sorta using a 7-years-old smartphone, I’m a bit out of loop on the new tech. I’ll be in the market soon, as my phone is limping along right now. Could someone kindly explain what this means?

I don’t know if this changes much, but I was thinking that maybe this “solar flare” schtick isn’t actually a solar flare, but rather it’s just manifesting as something malicious, and Malina is doing some voodoo to neutralize and change it to, well, a solar flare/aurora borealis.
