So is this the point in time where the EU starts making new laws so they can fine SpaceX to hamper their innovation? Its pretty much the playbook they followed for the big US Tech companies.

Re: iPhone 16 Pro to Feature Upgraded Camera Functionality Due to Bigger Chassis, Capacitive Button Could be a ‘Slight Bit Sunken’

I can't speak for the Samsung devices but the Apple devices integrate with each other in some pretty incredible ways and that makes it worth the price for me. If peoples only Apple device is the iphone I have no idea why, unless they just like the UI or Status.

Or maybe the EU should stop going out of the way to only target US companies. Its getting old.

Re: FCC releases broadband coverage map

Make sure you realize this is 4G T-Mobile is relying heavily on their lower frequency 5G to fill in those gaps which that map does not show. They do require phones that take advantage of those ranges.

Re: The state of the Apple TV in 2018

kappen — Sun, 18 Nov 2018 10:49:59 -0000

The only reason I purchased two apple TVs was for airplay ability from my phone and tablet. If there was ever a chrome cast ability native to IOS I would dump them in a second. The boxes themselves are nice but the remote blows, why on earth is there a touch pad on a remote and as you stated its too small. I loved the remote on the apple tv 3 it was still small but the direction ring was a much better design.

Re: Facebook is Letting Job Advertisers Target Only Men

A lot of the examples you listed targetted women and excluded men. Why does your headline implies they only discriminated against women. Sounds like your headline is discriminating against men.

Good thing the USPS isn't supported by tax dollars then huh :)

It's part of their mail meets technology campaign called Irresistible Mail. You can read more about it at Irresistiblemail dot com. Some pretty cool stuff on that site.

The number of times my Alexa thinks the TV is talking to it... I can't see how will go well. "Honest officer, I was just watching this lifetime movie, I don't even have a boyfriend"

Re: T-Mobile’s Binge On violates net neutrality, says Stanford report

kappen — Sat, 30 Jan 2016 09:43:17 -0000

every time I see people complain about binge on you can tell from their post they aren't T mobile customers. I for one, as a tmobile customer, like binge on. I can't even tell that the quality is being reduced on my Iphone or Ipad. They also just added the # codes to turn easily turn it off and on. Nobody even seems to mention the sling and vudu discounts either. I don't agree that it should be done on everything because then I would spend most of my time turning it off and on, but for video its great.

Re: Civil rights groups urge USPS to change policies for pregnant worker

You're in luck!! The tax burden has been removed. Sadly you probably won't notice any savings since it was done in 1971.

You do realize UPS and USPS are not the same company. The link to the court case says UPS you use the two like they are the same and even mention a letter going to the PMG. Are you talking about UPS or USPS. Please be less confusing. Which company are you talking about???

Re: UK retailer Carphone Warehouse pushes Nexus 4 preorders early, promises delivery by October 30

I'm not sure thats accurate unless google is going backwards and is actually releasing a phone with only 8 gig of internal storage instead of at least 16 that your original story reported.

Re: Why Angry iPad 3 Owners Are Being Stupid

kappen — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:36:25 -0000

What a made up article, I saw no MEME's saying angry Ipad 3 owners,big deal if the term was used on twitter. I am glad about the points you made though because they also apply the "fragmentation" speeches people make about android.

Re: Redbox's $1 per night DVD rentals jump to $1.20 October 31st, Blu-ray and games stay the same

kappen — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 18:14:14 -0000

I don't have an issue paying more besides the blu-ray price stayed the same. I am curious how their debit card fees increased when laws were just passed to force them lower for merchants, hence the 5 dollar a month bank of america fee to their account holders

Re: Acer Iconia Tab A500 review

kappen — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 13:54:19 -0000

I bought one and I'm happy with it. I guess the battery life might be an issue if I wanted to watch 7 hours of movies in a single setting.... so far i've not had that desire. I had to work at it to kill the battery last night after a full days of my normal usage so i'm more then happy with the battery life. I picked this over the transformer for the working USB ports. It does have some software bugs but most seem to happen while using the standard adroid phone apps from the market.

I've yet to kick either camera on and I really don't see the junkware, its not like when you buy a laptop anyway.

Just tell them they can expand the memory out by another 32gigs that should do it.

This kind of stuff is the exact reason why I sold my Iphone and purchased a droid incredible. I'll admit the music player isn't as polished but I really don't miss my Iphone and I 100% do not miss this crap.

Re: Motorola Xoom up for pre-order at Best Buy this Thursday... for $1,199? (update)

How well did that line of thinking work for the Iphone.. I see more android phones around now so somehow brand recognition and quality perception must of failed.

The people that are really being hit by the recession aren't thinking "Wow I need a new tablet device"...

I doubt motorola did that, its the common best buy tactic of making mindless sheep think they are saving a ton of money by buying it from best buy. Honestly anybody getting stuff at best buy is either really stuck and needs something ASAP or mindless.

How well is the $729 dollar Ipad selling that matches up to the bare specs of the xoom???

I'll wait for the WiFi only version if one exists. Otherwise I pass. I don't need multiple devices that do 3G since I have a hotspot phone.

Re: Motorola Xoom up for pre-order at Best Buy this Thursday... for $1,199? (update)

kappen — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 15:58:37 -0000

actually since the update says it will indeed be 800 dollars its only 60 dollars higher then the same memory+3G Ipad. I think you should of read the story instead of replying to the title.

yeah but the update says its one of those see it in the cart deal at which point it will be listed at the original 800 dollars. Its high but not really for what it is. I think they should of targeted the more entry level Ipads but I guess someone has to target the top end models.
