I haven't had those problems with RCS on my Android phone over the last few years of using it. But yes, the lack of encryption (outside of Google's tacked on version) is a problem.

That's fine?! Consider the fixed costs of building a new carrier! Today's carriers will price it below where it makes sense to "build your own carrier", these costs will be distributed among consumers and we'll all

The cities are geographically close, but there is an international border between them. Canada has more open immigration laws opening up Amazon to a much wider talent pool. Considering that major difference, there could be a strong case mad

Residential buildings in NYC need to separate their trash into three types: recyclable containers, paper, and general trash. How is this accounted for with a single tube system? Do they have exemptions from the law? Can they only drop certa

Depends where you are, but where I live in Queens, and I think in Manhattan, parking is often free on the streets, cheap on the avenues (a buck or two an hr), and the parking garages (privately run) are astronomical in price. So, as you can

Interesting there is no mention of the Boro (Green) taxis. 6,000 medallions were released in 2013 (with plans to release another 6,000 a year for a total of 18,000.) That's a large swing on the supply side compared to the ~13K yellow t

New SP4 owner (never had a surface). It's well on your lap. The back angle is infinitly adjustable, so that's not an issue and the key type cover is solid so typing isn't an issue even if on your lap - I read flex in the prev

If you're using LastPass on Windows, you can install the LP Windows app and it can autofill the login box ADP uses. But it's still a hassle and takes a few extra clicks.

I'm still searching for a perfect substitute. Feedly is the best I've found so far. I've very pleased with the desktop experience. Although, I really liked the Google Reader widget for Android and the Feedly one isn't as dense information w

While this isn't a hot topic among New Yorkers I know, I did have a professor at b-school (NYU) who went on rants about the amount of money transferred by the citizens of New York City to the rest of the state of NY. If this is true, I woul

There are some slick thin cases available, they're not all Otter boxes. My $5 case for my Galaxy S3 has already saved my phone multiple times from inadvertent drops. Far cheaper than insurance from a carrier or purchasing a new unsubsidized

Enterprise sales, consulting, services. Mainframes still make up a large chunk of their revenue. Perhaps research/patents? They aren't really that consumer facing anymore, I guess that explains their ads on TV to keep their name out there.

I'm on the fence about paying for the NYTimes once the paywall pops up. I'd rather not use two lines of CSS to get around it, just like I have made the decision not to use an AdBlocker. While the NYTimes pay model would work for me (I'd ac

It's true. I've learned my lesson after living in Brooklyn and now Queens for the last few years. Just get in the cab, ensure your entire party is in the cab. Shut the doors. Say where you're going and sit tight. I've been fortunate to live
