    Fingers crossed for them I guess?

  • ZTE agrees to pay $892 million for violating US sanctions, wiping out 2 years of profits

    China is a country built on thievery.
    An argument that is both ignorant and insulting.

  • Apple says hidden Safari setting led to flawed Consumer Reports MacBook Pro battery tests

    It is wonderful how so many people here are bashing CR. CR used the same testing methodology and ranked the past MB models high. CR also used the same methodology for all other laptops without this kind of jarring finding.
    Reasonably, users other than web developers would not turn this option on. But they would not reload the same page ten thousand times before the battery dies either. This setting is just to mimic a use case when the user is browsing different websites, and is completely fair since CR uses it across all laptops.
    Apple admitted it is a bug in Safari that cause the fluctuation, but people are blaming CR for using the browser wrong. To me, apple fanboys are saying when CR recommends MBs it is trustworthy, when it does not it is crap.

  • Lawsuit blames Apple's 'less safe' FaceTime implementation for fatal traffic accident

    You should wear a helmet because it can save your life. (Saved mine too.).  That doesn't mean there should be a law. 
    Sorry, some people need laws to help protect themselves and others. Seat belts. Speed limits. Solid lines and passing zones. Stop lights. All apply whether someone else is at risk in the moment or not. And we all pay when someone gets hurt. I suppose we don't need laws on drinking and driving enforced unless someone gets hurt?
    There should just be a blanket law against reckless driving which would cover drinking and distracted driving as well as driving like a jackass, which are all equally dangerous.  As far as safety laws, that should be left up to the individual. It doesn't affect me one way or the other whether or not you want to wear a helmet or seat belt so I don't really care. I do it for myself because I believe in it.
    Actually, it does affect all of us. Laws in place that help people behave less stupid will lower the overall cost of medical expense, auto and medical insurance, transfer payments in the form of unpaid medical bills, etc. This has more to do with economics than politics.
