Yep . . . I rarely post, have never used 'Login with FB', I use a unique email address for FB, don't have the app on my phone (and when I did, I never allowed it to access contacts), and IE/Edge has always been my "

Part of it also is that Giphy has licensing agreements with media rights owners to create gifs based on their content . . . they're not just indexing existing gifs. https://www.wired.com/2016/05/giphy-wants-al

I'm in your boat . . . I have a 4. I've used Uber only once - to help my mom to a doctor's appointment after she broke her hip. I guess we were slow and a bit of a burden . . .

Oh indubitably! It was really more of a rhetorical question, but it is my biggest lingering gripe and wish the segmentations would work in my favor to make it a viable/valuable option for them. It's just frustrating to see that t

As a proud Gen 1 Surface Pro owner, this looks spectacular. My Surface replaced my laptop, and while I definitely had my issues with the transition (trackpad sucks so often use external mouse, aspect ratio is inconvenient for Office, displa

It's relatively common practice - buy RE as a speculative investment and hold hoping that it will grow in value as an area develops. In the meantime, it would be great to have the property throw off some free cash flow, so developers b

The internet is big, but please don't think for a moment that awareness of SOPA/PIPA is big at all . . . "normals" have absolutely zero clue about what it is . . . even many who aren't "normals" aren't aware. As tech/internet professionals,

I've read this piece tons of times and whenever it finds me (as now), I never pass up an opportunity to read it again. I can't tell you how many people I've sent this to, or shared the sentiment with, over the years.
