Why wouldn't it be when 3rd party support is excellent on WP and iPhone?

And, yes, since most people use their phone for music, why wouldn't the music service be an issue. Especially since you can't use it if there is no service and you can no longer listen to music that was purchased when service is lost.

Those are huge issues. How can they not be?

I have been a Windows Phone user for just under a year. After Apple and Droid, it is the one phone that I actually enjoy (and don't have to root in order to get it to do what I want.)

I am interested in the upcoming update and after Google bungled the music (stealing people's paid for content and forcing it to stream), I am finding the Windows phone far more open than that mess. Further, the problems with different "versions" of the droid os means that som...

" a Comcast user was sent a staggering 112 DMCA notices in just 48 hours after downloading and sharing a single torrent."

Story goes viral and sharing of the groups songs goes up thousandfold.

Interesting. However, I wonder, as this becomes more prolific, then I will become more skeptical of the results.

If one company does this, then I go to another and get different results... lawsuit.

We know there is life in the universe. We knew there was water on Mars.

We now have PROVEN that there is water on Mars.

Evidence matters.

With Hololens, you could have a HUD with highlighted lines on the road and boxes around other vehicles including bicycles, motorcycles, and pedestrians.

Really?

So the star that died to bring about our current solar system...wasn't a good thing?

And both stars that created the atoms in your bodies have died and you are now here, again, not a good thing?

Weird.

I had originally read this as Torrent to be blocked by Google Chrome.
Glad to hear that it is just uTorrent.

I use Transmission and now there is a Win project with it.

FiOS already does well by me:

And my internet bill is $55 a month (as part of a bundle).

This speed that they are boasting would be ridiculous.

Adblocking doesn't COST them a thing. We've had this discussion ad nauseum. Many sites have no problem embedding advertising and making millions.

You want to have annoying pop ups (I forgot they were a thing)?

Then why would I visit your site. Sell something and create a demand for it. That is how you make money.

They put "Hi-Tech" tag but should have put Retro. Similar devices have been around for decades. This is just the latest version of it.

And yes, I am talking about electronics.

This submission needs to credit Laurent Bernadac in his "article." The video is not his.

I wonder if that is the problem I had with it. Oh well.

Good. Cortana is great. Google Now, please text...

No, I don't want to go on the web. I want to text. T E X T.

Forget it,

Google Now, set a reminder...

No, I don't want to shut down.

Yes. Without a doubt. Human society will move beyond capitalism and other ideologies. Everything will be automated and robots will provide enough food, energy and clothing for every person.

Humans will be free to educate themselves, pursue art, and create.

" Kepler-452b and its planets are much older than Earth and our Sun. The star has been burning for an estimated 6.2 billion years; for perspective, the first humans appeared just 2.5 million years ago! This gives scientists a unique opportunity to study our own world. If conditions on Kepler-452b are indeed as similar to ours as they seem, then we can get a glimpse into our likely future and see how our star and our planet will behave."

I believe Kepler 452b is the ...
