I’m down with democratic capitalism as long as there are strong regulations and socialized services like medicine, fire, police, utilities, and roads. Does that make me a democratic socialist?

The USA has been on a downward slide after Reagan deregulated everything. There were a couple of tries at course correction afterward, but the current regime is going to dismantle everything as fast as they can.

Sounds like a great way to get evidence thrown out of court.

I guess Silk Road isn’t responsible for selling drugs then. After all, they’re just an intermediary.

Thirties. I was skinny, had thick hair, and I didn’t hurt all over.

It would be really stupid to use AI to teach kids. We can’t even get that technology to work correctly for summarizing notifications or providing accurate search results.

Tim Apple isn’t garbage, but he’s overstayed his welcome. I’m hoping Craig Federighi takes his place.

Apple recycles AirPods. There’s no trade in value, but you can bring them to any Apple Store, or fill out the form for a mail in label.

Bing is still a thing. Bing offered Apple a boatload of money to be the default search engine in Safari. I’m sure Mozilla could make a deal with Microsoft.

I also wonder if they could just prompt the user to select a search engine from a randomized list, and then get paid from whichever service the user picks?

Some browsers sell placement spaces on the default start page to make money as well. It would be another revenue stream for Mozilla and it’s easily updatable by the user directory don’t want any of these default sites.

Aww. Gruber is mad he was left out of the loop and isn’t such an Apple insider after all.

I bet you might have a court case if you could prove that the dealer had disabled this advertising “feature” during your test drive.

Is that an 8-track tape deck? 😉

If you disconnect the car’s cellular network, do the ads go away?

It’s still usable, it just reverts to the old school Roombas. Press clean to vacuum. Press dock to return to charger.

Works fine without the app.

Another company squandering their patents and market advantage. Reminds me of TiVo.

Can we please stop with the browser bloat? This is something that should be a plug-in, not a kitchen sink feature.

Xerox Parc brought us the gui, the copier, Ethernet, and the laser printer. Sometimes private companies in Silicon Valley actually do innovate.
