If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Google's open source tools allow it to use Android code on iOS and the Web. Write once, run 70% of it everywhere

I read this earlier, basically they've built an API so they don't have to put all of their code into their various apps. Groundbreaking /s
Must have been a slow news day.

It was a phenomenally slow news day. I probably should have only posted one item today.

Today Google is launching a new tool for publishers that does away with Google-sourced ads, while not forcing users to pay before accessing content: Contributor. "They sit at the bar and put bread in my jar, and say, 'Man, what are you doin' here?'"

I will pay you not to spam me show me ads.

Yup. Blackmail is an ugly word. They prefer extortion.

Extortion as a service mind you.

IBM, Cisco and others are launching new apps under a freemium model. Will Millennials see these enterprise giants as go-to vendors in the future? "The first hit is always free"
But seriously, could we stop using "freemium", "long-tail", and every other silly bit of office-speak?

Detekt has been designed for Windows PC users to scan their machines for “known surveillance spyware” that its makers warn is used to “target and monitor human rights defenders and journalists around the world”. “Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you”

Ah, but how do we know there isn't spyware in the anti-spyware?
(To be fair, with those three involved my level of trust is actually quite high)

Big Blue experts can help CIOs implement this new approach to rapid creation and release of software. IBM. "Speed up". Oh, they kill me.

Court stops alleged scamming operations, but an end to the problem is elusive. "Two things are infinite: the universe and the human stupidity."

What about retailers selling extended warrantees and such; that's just as bad.
|
|

I'd bet the intersection of people buying extended warranties, and those falling for "David from Microsoft Support" is pretty high.
Lots of crayons[^] to go around.

A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

A new study suggests that looking down at a cell phone is the equivalent of placing a 60-pound weight on one's neck. And we won't even mention sexting

I've always wondered about that (the texting, that is...). You see people standing or walking and looking like they have advanced osteoporosis. It's scary.

How is that as compared to the same posture reading a book for hours on end?
|
|
|
|
|
Watch people who read a book: they tend to hold books at a more comfortable distance than is typical for smartphones because it's far easier to read a book at distance given the constant font size and the flow. Pages and apps on smart phones often have varying font sizes, images and a general blockiness (instead of constant left, right, top to bottom flow). It means you need to focus more and actually read instead of being able to easily scan.
