I'd go out and say the marketing is not subtle. The hype and fanboys/girls are so in line with the marketing that any level of skepticism is seen a an act of defection, but if you look at the words, hyperbole and volume that is us

Cool idea. I'm guessing most of the value to your users is in the content in your app since the hardware can be replaced by bookmarks for those have >10 or so plants. For me, I'd more excited about well organized plant content

A TV will likely have multiple inputs like HDMI, USB, Cable, etc and hence presumably more parts, more complex board and higher power needs. I might be wrong, but that's an assumption. A 'feature' of the Samsung TV that copes

Thanks for posting, this is a fun space to see more software in. Indirectly related, but I'm in the market for a 32inch+ screen which can be used for a photo frame. With the exception of Samsung's Frame, I haven't been able t

I really can't figure out what relation the doodle has to what's generated. I draw a dot, I get a cat as per the prompt. I add another dot, or a line; the newly generated image changes, but there's no predictability. We can c

I saw the headline on your post and felt horrified. I then read the details and I'm no longer horrified. There is a difference between advertising your own services vs injecting ads from other parties. Injecting ads from other parties

Highly subjective based on personal preferences. I use Gnome and the top bar is far from a checkbox for stylistic design for me. On it are applets that I use multiple times everyday (Calendar, Caffeine, a few custom applets, VPN controls, e

I noticed a sharp decrease in my world curiosity at 34. This was also the time in life that I accepted a lot of "responsibility" towards the traditional way of life, ie, stable well paying job, career growth, long term relationshi

That's obvious. You're missing the point.

Neat; but if I were non-technical person, the next question I would ask would be, why can't Mallory just forge Ted's certificate and use that to fool Alice or Bob? In this scenario, Alice or Bob would receive a box which has a cer

Seriously, with what we know about PRISM [1], why do comments on here only fear China's surveillance and not that of the United States? Apple was revealed to be a participant in 2013; there is no reason to believe they are not a part o

Single data point with a spotty read of the outcome should not be enough to put any weight behind a theory. Chances are "big tech" advertises popular brands, both items in your pocket are likely to have fit into that category.

Ah yes, "naughty words", that's all that hate speech is. What a smart fella.

Hate speech is not a joke. It predates the Internet. It has led to (and will lead to) massive atrocities. Some of the most well understood atrocities of the 20th century (Rwandan genocide, Nazis, Anti-muslim attacks in India, many others) w
