In 2008 and 2012, President Obama campaigned on the incredibly popular idea of network neutrality—a law that would forbid phone and cable companies from changing the Internet and charging websites new tolls, and different tolls for new fast lanes and slow lanes on the internet. Yet yesterday, the New York Times reported that the man Obama appointed as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Tom Wheeler, has made a complete turnaround on network neutrality. He is now proposing rules that authorize massive discrimination by cable and phone companies, legalizing new tolls on tech companies, and pretty much putting our entire Internet economy under the control of a few politically connected, powerful phone and cable companies. They're trying to blow up the Internet.. get em'!

Well, then stop using it.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Stop using the... Internet?

Four major tech companies including Apple and Google have agreed to settle a lawsuit accusing them of conspiring to hold down salaries in Silicon Valley, just weeks before a high profile trial had been scheduled to begin. Work in tech in the Valley? Grab a piece of that sweet, sweet pie.

Vic Gundotra, who aggressively led Google into the social world with the creation of Google+, is leaving the company. Gundotra+ is no more.

Probably because it's a soul-crushing failure. The only way they could get people to join was by force. Just ask any YouTube user and content producer.

Good. Can we revert now to normal Youtube comments, please?
And remove all the G+ things that spread like the zerg creep. And creep was nice compared to this.

Remembers me Woody Harrelson "pervert is back", when he fired the VP.
"You're fired.
You! get the f**k out my building!
Get him out of here! [...]
Throw him into the incinerator, cut him to little pieces and feed him to animals out there [...]."

Broadband Internet service is still painfully expensive in the United States and to make matters worse, a new study shows that most American households aren’t getting the fast data speeds they are paying for. But "the one giant caveat in this study is obviously that it is completely unscientific"... so yeah.
|
|
|
|
|
I actually get slightly above the speed I am paying for occasionally. Most of the time it is slower (slightly) though.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

"broadband" is by convention any connection speed of 1Mbit or above. Legal definitions may vary from country to country, but most of these laws are old and not future proof.
And ISP contracts usually state broadband and a "maximum speed". They never say when this maximum speed has to be obtainable. Could be in 5 months, could be never...
.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh. and don't forget the "fair use" clause they always include. If you're downloading/uploading massive amounts of data 24/7 they can throttle down your speed...

Apple introduced a great new user interface scheme in the iOS 7 Mail app – swiping left to reveal a menu with multiple actions. This tutorial shows you how to make such a swipeable table view cell without getting bogged down in nested scroll views. Swiper no swiping!

The other day Apple released a major security update that fixes a number of terrifying things that can happen to your OS/X and iOS devices. You should install it. So far beyond the historical reason for the handshake it's time for a new term.
