It is misleading because it is a very specific case in California/US. For people in other countries these things don't apply. We have 10k euro discount to Electric cars for instance. It would apply to both cars equally.

I have the exact same headphones, and while I don't have the 'exploding' sound when listening on the phone, I do have the constant hissing and it is driving me insane!

And here I thought you were talking about the Dyson sphere Dyson... heh.
Well, I know people that made a living and brought up two children with the help of Herbalife, so it is not THAT bad. It is not easy, and not a good job, on those points I do agree though.

Re:AMD Zen and Ryzen 7 Review: A Deep Dive on Thursday March 02, 2017 @09:39AM (#13774231)
You do have to consider that this is an 8 core, and more and more applications are being developed with this in mind. Whoever still thinks that Single threaded performance is the most important, lives in the past.

Actually AMD has around 20-30% marketshare...

That is important though in case of low maple syrup production as they export a lot of it.
What is the green "shadow" on the right of the moon? I'm not saying this is fake, but it looks like what I see in some greenscreen videos. I am really curious.
Just going to leave this here. Better than SimCity by miles. http://store.steampowered.com/app/255710/
Re:Vulkan – Graphics and computing belong together on Tuesday March 03, 2015 @04:30AM (#9136844)
Vulkan is the evolution of Mantle (get it... get it :)) ?) AMD contributed a lot to the development of this API and then collaborated with Microsoft to create DX12. Mantle will remain as a testbed of future technologies

So what is the battery life? Rumours stated 3-4 hours.
Hahaha... Americans.
Re:World War II Is Full of Plot Holes (2010) on Monday November 10, 2014 @01:51PM (#8585431)
Well, considering the Japanese actually tried to surrender before the bombs fell to the Russians is totally not important... and that they found out about the 2 N-Bombs only after they surrendered to the Americans. /s

Re:Apple Expected to Consume 25% of All DRAM in 2015 on Monday October 06, 2014 @02:05AM (#8414475)
Interesting, still I don't see how other manufacturers sell less as they sell more phones.
Re:Apple Expected to Consume 25% of All DRAM in 2015 on Monday October 06, 2014 @02:04AM (#8414474)
Sure, but at the same time, other company sell more than apple in every market apple is in. Apple is like a small drop in the ocean of other manufacturers.
I know I've seen this like a year or more ago here or on slashdot... :/

Re:Alleged leak of more than 5M Gmail accounts on Wednesday September 10, 2014 @04:04AM (#8295423)
The webpage gave the correct first two letters of my password...but that was changed more than a year and half ago, so this leak must be VERY old. I have been using last pass for the past time and when I got it I immediately changed my google password. This is the reason why I'm saying is that old.

Found it funny as hell.

Re:Which is better, Adblock or Adblock Plus? on Tuesday July 29, 2014 @12:03PM (#8102965)
I keep seeing people complaining about some ads being not filtered by ABP...why not just right click those ads and block them. No more ads. Haven't had any with it on for some time (except on some sites where I want to see the ads to help those specific communities)
Re:New MacBook Pro with retina display on Tuesday July 29, 2014 @10:12AM (#8102310)
2500 for the decent spec MBP? What in the name... really apple? I just bought an MSI laptop with a 1920x1080p, r290Xm, 16gb ram, 1tb storage (true , it's not ssd) and a a 2.5 ghz APU from AMD for 1300$ . So... what 1200$ apple tax?

Re:A flat icon set for OS X on Wednesday July 16, 2014 @12:38PM (#8042957)
I do not understand this trend of 'flat design'. It looks horrible. It started with Apple and the other copied it. Now microsoft has it, google started implementing it, samsung as well. It looks horrible.
Came here for this. Didn't leave disappointed.
Re:Apple Ditching OpenGL? on Tuesday June 03, 2014 @02:22PM (#7841890)
Isn't metal basically the same thing as mantle ? By that I mean a low level API that has direct access to the GPU ? Also Dx12 is said to do this soon.
