    Thank goodness for net neutrality saving the day! Oh, wait. Never mind.
    what does net neutrality have to do with throttling of data plans? Throttling was there with or without net neutrality.

    The poorly trained dummy at the verizon customer support no doubt has lost their job.
    That is only if that employee violated policies and rules set forth by the company. Firing a person who did the job by the book you wrote is FAR WORSE PR, than not giving actual limitless plans. In my opinion, none of the emergency services should be using regular services that are not intended to be used as emergency ones. 
    If they keep doing that, it will cost lives.

    Argument "but muh plans are not limitless, and they are used to fight fires" should NOT be made here at all. If you are willing to make that argument, I suggest, you should be willing to consider buying toy helicopters and planes and fire trucks to fight fire. They are cheaper and you can buy them by the truck load. Too bad, they are not designed for those things....but you can always blame a toy company for that and scare it with "bad PR".

    It is a bad argument to make that if those were fire fighters, then everyone needs to bow before them. No, they should plan ahead and buy the right equipment and then, if it is an emergency even though it happens multiple times a year, I suggest firing those morons, and hiring those who can actually figure out what equipment is needed and how to get it IN THE TIMELY MANNER, before the emergency strikes.

    SMH.

    That article recently about the 17 year old that hacked the MySql databases in voting machines in a training exercise in a few minutes and was able to change the numbers or even delete them was the scariest thing I've read in a long time.  Time to go back to all paper ballots, pigeons for mail me thinks!
    Why is it the scariest thing? The systems were built by people who don't know what they are doing. The scariest thing is that instead of using PhotoID to verify a person voting and keep a paper proof for a vote, people still have troubles accepting even basic validation of the voter. I would not expect DBs guarded better than the existing system.

    OK, I'll bite. Why run a comparison with an 11-month old Apple device instead of waiting for the new models next month?
    Because getting whooped by an 11-mothn old tech is a lot more painful/enjoyable.

  • Apple patent hints at non-invasive glucose monitoring tech for Apple Watch

    I’m skeptical Apple will be the first to bring this to market. Wouldn’t it need FDA approval? Seems to me it would start in the medical devices community and once proven to work Apple could bring it to the masses.
    Probably not, if Apple doesn't advertise it as a medical device.
