The ads have made me somewhat disinclined to use youtube so I have learned to live without it most of the time. I can't see paying them for the little I actually use it.

Using binomial nomenclature is a good idea. I like that.

Since almost all garbage is buried, either in a landfill or in some kind of composting system then it effectively never breaks down?

It's true that there are lots of plantations that they harvest for this but unfortunately they also cut down forests for the same purpose. They do it all the time where I live in Canada.

My office still uses XP. Not sure what we'll do when MS stops supporting it but that's IT's problem I guess.

For many people they need the phone part of their phone rarely. Indeed, the phone feature of smart phones seems to be the least used (and getting less) aspect of it. Making a smartphone that must be really comfortable to hold up to your ear is a silly restriction for many people.

The beverage is so popular that they can't keep up with demand so they intend on making a different one and just pretend it's the same one. That's what's wrong with this.

I too was entirely baffled by this as well. I have never had nor (in the quick survey of people in my office) has anyone else had the problem the author goes on quite a while explaining.

It's not a matter of being respected. The statement made by the author was simply inaccurate. Many people (the author, too, given the words he actually used) are quite unaware that a star or galaxy does not exist now as it appears in photos.

"it's still two galaxies, captured in the middle of a collision that will result in a completely new galactic shape a few million years from now"

It's nice to see the usual ageism being reversed here. That is, in saying that facebook hates old people you're categorizing old as being over 100 instead of the usual 30ish which is the wont of popular media.

Compartmentalizing your life so your dream job has no location seems odd to me. If you hate where you live but have a "dream job" it doesn't seem like a dream job anymore. Perhaps it's the difference between kinds of people. I can't imagine what a "dream job" would be but it would, by necessity be near my family and…

About 80 but almost all are free. I have only ever paid for one, swiftkey. I do delete and add others pretty frequently.

I filter everything that is forwarded to more than one person in one folder (named internal spam) and almost all of it is deleted with only a cursory viewing since it's almost never actually intended for me specifically.

This is interesting. They're starving sites in other countries that may actually be following their own laws and aren't doing anything illegal. That is, "legal" requests from people who have no authority or rights necessarily are being ignored but Google is going to enforce these non-legally binding requests through…

You can follow his tweets and ask there but you're not the first and he hasn't said so far. Someone guessed Iceland though.

Yes, probably.

I did this with my Galaxy Nexus and then through various mishaps (owing to my own sloth and ignorance) it's unlocked but not rooted or rooted by not unlocked or something. Anyway, this article has encouraged me to look into this again. I would like the latest Android but, though it downloads and then tries to upgrade…

This is interesting. But as an aside, watching the video was the first time I've seen the lockcode utilized. That is, everyone I know, not to mention people I don't know (on the bus, on the street etc.), don't have that feature enabled, apparently. I've asked some of my friends and they say it's too much bother and…

Interesting. I have an entirely different philosophy. I have many books going simultaneously. I am not always interested in a particular book at a particular moment. It's not because I think it's boring or not well written and I don't forget about them. I come back when I'm in the mood for that book. I have read books…
