Is your iPhone hissing? Some are reporting that the iPhone 7 is doing just that when it’s pushed to the limits of its processing power. "Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?"
I'm sure it's just a new Apple innovation.

I believe Snakes and Apples have been associated since at least Genesis.

The internet was designed to be a massive, decentralized system that nobody controlled, but it is increasingly controlled by a select few tech companies, including Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon, and they are continuing to consolidate power, said the CEO of a cybersecurity company. Even worse, it's not under *my* control

Little known fact:
Tim Berners-Lee can, in fact, turn off the Web (and the Internet, if he so chooses) any time he wants.
Just a flip of the switch for him.
True story.

I hope not to see the day when it is needed to switch it off.
Although... not sure it it could even be a good idea to let everything crash and start over again with a better design avoiding the errors that have been done.

We were just thinking the same yesterday. With Windows OS. Maybe Microsoft could just delete all windows installations and then go into dev-mode for 5 years. Then when theyre properly done, they could come back out and give it away and it wouldn't be tied down by all that old stuff.

Remix OS is basically a desktop version of Android, with floating windows and a start menu-style app drawer. So, it makes sense that creators Jide would make it as easy to use on a desktop. So you can deal with those Angry Birds on your desktop
Or crush candy, or whatever the kids do with their phones these days

The driverless car revolution is coming, and Lyft's president now predicts it will "all-but end" car ownership in cities by 2025. Alternate prediction: No one will remember Lyft in 2025

Well it did look like the bovine was eating grass on land that did not belong to the owner, so to protect the owner, blurred the face. Now that other bovine is in trouble. We know that police do follow up on crimes in photos that are posted.

Isn't that the same cow that appeared in The Lounge yesterday[^]?

Lawsuit claims smartphone-enabled massage device violated privacy
We need a new type of smiley for that!
Can you think of an app intruding even farther into someone's privacy than this?

while I've long maintained that Internet of pwnd Things would elephant its users privacy all up, that's NOT at all what I had in mind.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

New research has found psychopaths are as prevalent in the upper echelons of the corporate world as they are in prisons. "I'm not a psychopath, I'm a high-functioning sociopath. Do your research."

No surprise. I have a psychopath for a manager. Besides being a compulsive liar, if I am alone, her tail is at my desk making provocative suggestions. Just yesterday she came in and started looking down at her cleavage, then looks at me straight in the eyes. In the past she's talked me into working late and by surprise, she's brought home cooked dinner for two. Last Christmas she asked me if I'd like to go to her Christmas party. I was the only one invited. A couple of months ago on a nice and sunny Friday afternoon, when of course, most people had gone home for the weekend, she comes in a says, "are you lonely?" And never in my life have I seen someone lost 100 pounds in 6 months and then gain it back in 6 months. That is a psychopath.
And HR won't do anything. It is at the point that I record all day everyday at work; so nothing comes back to me. That is life working with a psychopath.

Not so much a psychopath as someone who is flirting with you. Being a compulsive liar in itself is not evidence of psychopathy. Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterised by continual antisocial behaviour, limited empathy and / or remorse, and egotistical traits.

New information from research firm Gartner claims that businesses in the PC market must change their practices or leave by 2020, and gives four strategies for moving forward. You hardly ever see them in offices anymore
I wonder who funded this study? Pencil makers?

Does Gartner actually do research? Seems to me that it is the leading company of making sh*t up. Seriously, why does anyone listen to these people?

Not sure what is meant by a pc. Is a tablet a PC? There are a couple of things at play here.
First there have not been the performance increases in the past, and new software tends to run fine on the on older computers. I do know that before the dual core computers became common on laptops I would have issues with running HD videos on my laptop. Have not seen that problem in a while.
Second: most people only used pcs to be on the internet, emails, maybe listen to music, or watch videos. They probably did anything very often that went beyond this. A tablet does this fine, and if you do not mind the small screen, you can do it on a phone. Why buy a bulky PC for more money when you can get by with something smaller. Phones also now are fast enough to do a lot of things on them, so do not need a pc for that either.
