I don’t disagree with this but I don’t particularly blame them.. I’m genuinely not sure what they’d innovate now. There’s no obvious areas to move into now they have a wearable, laptops, tablets, phones etc. It’s likely to be incremental improvements from here on out.

Nobody has higher quality tablets. Apple have totally cornered that market, especially for many types of artist.

And macs can easily dual boot windows in absolute worst case scenario so I don’t know what features you’re missing?

Not really how the sort of nukes we're talking about here work.

The amount of collateral damage to civilians would eclipse all the bad stuff ISIS have been responsible for. Read Barefoot Gen or the Hiroshima Diary but imagine them with 10x (+) more powerful bombs/larger areas.

Nuke innocents and turn much of the rest of the world against you.

Saying that there have been small tactical nukes but they don't offer an advantage ove...

Anything with a battery can do this, it's only if an unusually high percentage of them do that it's a problem. The N7 is clearly flawed in that regard.

I dunno, a lot of light users get by fine with 16GB. I'd find it unusable but some people just Facebook and a few other key apps.

It's still pretty hard and unlikely to bend an iPhone unless you're doing it really wrong. I've held enough phones I know would snap or otherwise break if I tried to bend them.. Why are people going out of their way to test apple products in this way over everything else? XD

Any platform is only as secure as its clueless user segment's default settings. Most of the vectors I've known people to get attacked over (bad software that comes packaged in another installer.) is pretty absent on the Mac. Nobody is mounting a .dmg without vaguely knowing what it is, and OSX defaults to not installing unsigned apps, so it's slightly less easy (by default) to get infected.

Some stuff about OSX is more secure, other parts not so much. Nothing is 1...

Flickr is pretty much the only good yahoo service left. Their email is fine I guess, but it's not like there aren't other good choices.

I'm not sure who I'd trust not to screw up Flickr.. Hmm. I'm actually surprised Yahoo didn't mess it up themselves.

?! You think the entire surface of a pretty damn huge moon looks identical? these photos back up the Apollo ones. (No stars, weird looking horizon etc)

Obviously camera tech has improved a lot since the 60s, they aren't going to look the same.

I'm getting the iPad pro as I'm a heavy user of third party styluses and art apps (ProCreate is incredible) on iOS. I have a cintiq at home on the desktop, I don't want a portable photoshop machine, it's not as well geared for touch and portability as the apps designed with that in mind.

I really don't want a full desktop OS in a big iPad, but it's a shame the option doesn't exist for others who do want that.

SP4 will have its stre...

You have a very different set of experiences to the millions of happy Mac/iOS users out there.

That's not to say anything is better than anything else.. But don't be glib, both Windows AND osX "just work" 99% of the time.

That's not how science works. So it's not what should be happening in science class.

Weirdly, based on how Jesus spoke and acted about monolithic organised religions, he'd most likely at least partially agree with your last sentence.

They're only banning it from science classes. They can totally bring it up in RE lessons where it belongs. (If they have to bring it up at all!)

I love that this is a thing. Wouldn't buy one myself, but good for Asus (of all companies!) to target a pretty big (if strange) demographic.

Yeah, but she *did* give it away. The situation is completely different to the one you're talking about with "finders fees."

They're doing more than their bit. Personally I'd give her a third, keep a third, and donate the final third to a charity of some sort. Because - it'd be my money at this point.

Then again they may never find the woman, and if so, they shouldn't feel bad about it. They've done their job.

She gave it to them. It is theirs. Finders fees don't come into it, really.

Regardless of how tech unsavvy she is/was, it's her responsibility to check the value of something, and neither party knew that to begin with. They are giving her 100,000 dollars. That's pretty damn cool of them. To her the item was worthless, this is all bonus. If they can even find her.

Now if she takes issue with the money that they've made, then it gets more intere...

They must've had to verify what it was etc themselves which clearly happened a while after she left. They're actually being generous tbh, they have no legal obligation to try and get back in contact with her.

They could have easily kept quiet and pocketed 100% of the money.

Its weird though as I know a load of people who use things like Hola as a way to access US Netflix when they have a UK based Netflix account. There's just more (and different) choice in the US version. Not only that but we're paying more in the UK anyway.

It's like.. Sony (et al) are getting the money, just at a different time from a different market. It wouldn't work if you didn't pay for a netflix account, so it's.. Pretty weird really.

What a load of bollocks.

Also, you can't dismiss science's take on something and just postulate nonsense in it's place. This isn't some fringe science thing that's barely studied, it's an area we know a LOT about.

"The sun and moon aren’t always the same size as seen from Earth. In fact, the moon and sun are rarely exactly the same size. The moon’s distance from Earth varies slightly over the course of a single month."
