Do you really think the audio jack was removed because of thinness? Have you seen the inside of a smartphone? Its not just about thinness. There is very little space for anything besides the battery. Also, removable batteries and the audi

Even dual 1080 GTX cards can't max out settings on the VR games currently available for Oculus / HTC Vive. As for traditional usecases, I have a 3x monitor setup ( 2K@144Hz/4K@60Hz/2K@144Hz) and my 1080 GTX can't ma

Any cursory reading of history will reveal that cities are and always have been where humans go to die. In the past, this was because of disease caused by pre-sanitation density. Today, it is due to below-replacement fertility rates caused

They don't have their shit together because the stock has barely moved in a decade. If you think Wal-Mart has their shit together, you've either been living under a rock for the past 10 years or you're not very intelligent. H

As someone who grew up in a neighborhood where Western Union/Money Gram were commonly used -- Only criminals use it. Full Stop. Now, not all these criminals are violent or into drugs. Many were illegals sending money home. I get WHY th

That's like saying you don't understand why the government just sending Altay a $1billion check with the pre-condition that he spends it all gets a bad rap. There's no reason to favor home ownership -- look at home ownership

More people go to college today so we're 4 years later into the labor force. This will only mean something when we hit prime working age for millennials. Let's see the numbers then.

This is such a pointless post. Why did it do so well here? Did any of you LOOK at the post and the stats/chart? 2% down since the peak. Who cares. Look at that chart. Its not even noticeable.

Per-capita energy usage is already falling across the developed world. And that's just with current trends. We could easily tax electricity far higher in most countries, mandate higher efficiency (the US still uses giant furnaces and h

Who says its 'international waters'? The Western created UN shackle? Fact is America is operating thousands of miles away from its territory. The only reason to do that is hostility and Imperialism.

Who keeps their phone for over a year? No one rational, that's for sure. If you think its wasteful to change your phone annually, you better never go to the movies, buy coffee outside, etc. The hours-per-dollar return on a phone is bet

Perhaps I'm guilty of falling for marketing definitions, but aren't we already down to 14nm rather than the 20nm the article suggests in the opening paragraph? >They knew that the laws of physics had set a 5-nanometer threshold

It mostly just confirms my belief that fully half of all white-collar workers in the developed world are adding zero value. They hustle for their first few years, then coast as old products sell themselves to old customers they already esta
