  • Protests mount online and offline over impending FCC Net Neutrality vote

    we continue on the progressive freak of 2017 out that people actually have opinions that don’t agree with theirs! omg!!! who would have thought!??? when you look at the companies that are for this, the term the left coast comes to mind, but also incumbants locking in their advantage.

    it’s kinda sad to see that the tech industry has such a partisan element to it.

    Reason.com has done some of the best reporting of all on this. It shows off their libertarian bent. There’s a nice 30 minute video interview they did with Ajit. http://reason.com/blog/2017/01/31/donald-trump-may-try-to-stifle-freedom-o

    given the 2016 campaign of economic illiteracy of Sanders and Trump, it’s nice to see Ajit Pai bringing us back to the origiinal innovation of Clinton with regards to the internet.

    So, in today's post-truth environment of Alternative Facts, it's all just "opinion" and nothing matters?
    ...  OK, Thanks for letting us know...

    We value your opinion.
    I would say that being illerate does have its advantages when making forceful arguements.

  • Apple sacks iPhone X engineer after daughter posts hands-on video to YouTube

    Why is no one asking "How did she unlock the phone?" It's an employee phone, it is locked with facial recognition and a passcode. In order to use the phone she would need dad to use his face or give her the lock passcode. Dad knew this was going on. That is why he was fired.
    great point....

    I see this as half on her father, and half on the daughter.
    I suspect that he might get a job from a company that wants to take advantage of the situation, but the daughter has basically shot down her dad’s career. aka it’s a real get a clue moment.
    I suppose anything is possible, but it does not look good at this point.
    I hope that the daughter can understand how much she has injured her father and the trust that was given to him, but he totally had to unlock the phone to make it happen....
    This will take years for the daughter and her father to work out. I hope it will work out in the long run.
