If the results can't be trusted, don't use Google or (especially) Facebook as your news sources. As understand it, Google will aggregate its news - it hasn't got someone picking the articles. Stick with an established news source - i'll pick the BBC because I live in the UK.
For all the 'power' these smart phones have given us, it fills me with confusion, pity and annoyance when I walk in to someone's house only to see all the inhabitants looking down at their phones. Occasionally, they'll be engaging on the same content/media, reacting digitally and sometimes (as it's usually humorous) verbally. I've banned phones at the dinner table (mine only) and for a future vacation, will set out very clear 'acceptable usage' limits to my wife. I'd like to think I could give up mine but still a sucker for a good meme to lift me times are low.
For me there's too many eye brow raising parts to this story so i'm sceptical of its validity. Still, it prompts those 'did you hear about the x that done y and z hit the fan' stories.
I absolutely agree. From an outsider, the reaction from Garadget will stay in my mind far longer than the initial review. Imagine this in a bricks and mortar high-street shop? 'The customer is always right' is a difficult but noble stance - if a customer is being difficult, suck it up, be sickly nice then go out the back and scream when they've left.
I thought exactly the same, I've always blocked out my lunch (recurring) for the gym which is trivial to set-up. The rest can be ad-hoc depending on how much of my time I need to put off limits.
Am I right in thinking televisions need to be 'smart' in order to run an OS, televisions need to run an OS to run apps therefore we need 'smart' TVs in order to rid ourselves of these 'set top' boxes?
it's a 'don't hate the player, hate the game' scenario. Sure, I've been on the receiving end of school corridor 'where's your tie?' antics but as a source for finding out how x can do y, it's the best we've got. Remember experts exchange?
Coming from an agency background to more application focussed it's not unusual to cover most, if not all of the following in a single day; C#, html, css, javascript (client), sql.
It's the guiding principal behind weight watchers. If you get into the habit of at least noticing what you are eating, you'll give yourself the opportunity to accept/deny it. The points system for weight watchers is genius and removes the complexity around nutrition as long as you how many points that thing your eating contains.
We live in a convenient age, but also a fickle one. I laugh when my wife prints 100 hundreds of digital photos although her disaster recovery process is more stable than mine.
