No need for hope. At this point surely it is a given?

If I were them I would be more concerned by Revolut, Monzo, Starling and Atom than Apple.

Not that I don't agree with a lot of what you are saying, but I think despite being digital crypto is a lot more like cash than card payments. But cash also has 'no rollback, no fraud detection or insurance'. At least you are

I worked on a project a while back called Freeview play in the UK which I think works in a similar way to how you described. You can watch live TV over the air or scroll backwards in time along the EPG to stream recorded content over IP. I

As an adult I find the gifts that I appreciate most are the luxury versions of simple useful things. If I wanted aftershave, chocolate, socks, a phone, a laptop (insert any other typical gift here) I would have bought them. I would not have

I once owned Xiaomi mi2 (their second phone) and the usb socket melted when charging. After I posted it on Chinese twitter they were quick to offer a refund. I hope their quality has improved since then. I guess at least the battery didn&#x

I used to live in China and met some students with very unusual English names. My favourite of which was 'Finger'. When I asked him why he chose the name he answered 'I like Kurt Cobain and he played the guitar with his finge
