Not a fan of HP (some bad experience with their products and service) but I love me some wood.

Just strokes me the right way.

Would be nicer if Facebook would simply respect my wishes (and settings) to keep my.newsfeed in chronological order...

I'm sure their persistance of forcing it back to 'Top News' is annoying millions of users away from their platform...

Every few years we see articles likes these, saying we can stop brushing our teeth, or that they've found a way to regrow teeth, or heal them, or whatever.

Sadly, we then never hear from it again. Probably because dental hygiene, as well as other health related issues, is a multi-billion dollar industry, where big corporations are profiting from your decay and weaknesses.

My argument for keeping headphone jacks; price.

A set of good new earbuds are below 20 euro for wired ones (Panasonic tcm-125) Wireless would be considerably more expensive.

Also, there simply is no good reason to remove the headphone-jack, from a consumer POV.

Very disappointing. They had a great original design for the OnePlus One, with the outstanding Sandstone back.

It's sad to see them stray from that original design, first with the OP3 going for a Metallic back, and now with an iPhone clone.

This should be illegal.

Well, the woman had been told to keep her distance and not contact her victim in any way. Instead, the woman goes on Facebook and posts a rant insulting the victim and her family again, AND tags her.

Yeah, the victim could have blocked her. That doesn't mean the woman who kept harassing her, to the point that a judge had already told her stop having kind of ANY contact with her victim, is somehow less guilty.

It seems pretty clear she knew what she was...

I want my current PC to stick with Windows 7. I even disabled Updates because I don't want the Update forced upon me, which puts me on a security risk, which shouldn't be necessary.

I'm OK with getting Windows 10 on a new PC, but that should be MY choice.

I'm more than satisfied with W7, so why would I want to take the risk and get W10, which has had a mixed reaction, seems to take away certain rights and privacy (unless you go in and tweak all those settings again), and not knowing how W10 will develop in the coming yeara and what they might change?

Also, the whole method of basically FORCING it on me, simply works counter-productive.

I'm ok with getting W10 with a new PC, but on my current PC, I just...

I don't have an ad-blocker installed on my phone (yet), but the way some sites handle ads, they are certainly pushing me towards using an ad-blocker.

On my PC I do have an ad-blocker. Sadly, in this day and age, it's a necessity. Both because of safety-issues, as well as to simply avoid the huge amount of very intrusive and annoying ads being shoved in your face.

I don't mind normal banners, but stuff with auto-video, auto-sound, pop-ups, unskippa...

Last time I checked, and that was while ago so I'm not sure if that's still the case, the Surface devices only allow their own stylus pens, instead of, for instance, a Wacom pen.

It seems for Digital Artists, who are interested in sketching and painting on their tablet, without being limited by the choice of pens on Surface, or not willing to pay 1500-2000 euro for a Portable Cintiq, might choose to go for a new iPad instead.

Personally, I feel the pr...

Honestly, as a consumer, I really just want a FLAT, 1080P, 42 inch Oled screen for an affordable price.

I don't need 4K (it would make all my existing media obsolete and blurry-looking, while it looks sharp on 1080p), I certainly don't want a Curved screen (marketing-gimmick to hike up the price), and a 42 inch screen is big enough for me, for now.

It's disappointing that even years after I bought a 900 euro Panasonic Plasma, there still isn'...

Website owners should only allow non-intrusive ads, so people don't feel they NEED an adblocker to browse the internet.

So many sites who ruin their own appeal by having big pop-ups and new pages appear to annoy their visitors, who quickly leave and abandon the site completely.

Haven't bought a new PC yet, but I have quite some concerns about it coming with W10, especially concerning privacy-settings as well as downloaded content.

ABP is the reason I'm still on YT. Before ABP, the constant ads already pushed me away very very quickly whenever an ad started running.

This whole 'forced ads' is completely lame anyway. There are products and brands we ARE excited about, so they should just market the ads in such a way that people WANT to watch and share them with friends and such. Funny ads will go viral, and good products will get positive word-of-mouth.

Instead, they force me...

I'm sorry, but at nearly 2000€, it's more than twice as much as a payed for my Panasonic Plasma, which probably STILL has better image-quality than 99% of the LCD's out there, simply because plasma has been the far superior technology, compared to LCD/LED.

Panasonic never should have abandoned Plasma. They should have just gotten the marketing for Plasma much MUCH better.

Yet another instance where 'the market is always right' didn't h...

Why would you want to reduce piracy when it's been shown again and again and again that it actually increases popularity and revenue!? People all around the world watch GoT, because of piracy, after which word of mouth does the rest, and many of them also go out and buy the season-boxes.

Oops, I accidentally hit 'disagree'. Sorry. Wanted to hit reply to tell you you can't go wrong with the One+. It's an excellent phone for an amazing price.
