Absolutely. I'm surprised this isn't marked as critical.
If this was included in malicious emails and texts, it would block the use of Chrome on Android completely and the only current fix is to clear all browser data i.e. bookmarks, passwords etc.
Re:Obama: The internet is “the single biggest threat to our democracy”

Misleading headline. Read the article before commenting.
Goldberg: Is this new malevolent information architecture bending the moral arc away from justice?
Obama: I think it is the single biggest threat to our democracy.
This is the quote. He is talking about disinformation. He didn't say it in the context of "the Internet".
Kind of ironic in the end.

Re:Texting and Driving? Watch Out for the Textalyzer

While texting and driving is definitely an issue, this isn't the solution.
It would be much more appropriate to implement ways that remind people that this is dangerous behaviour.
Preferably there should be something done during driving tests to see how people react. Something like calling the participants phone when in a safe environment to see how they react. Of course people could plan for it but that would be the point.
Re:Amazon Shows Off New Prime Air Drone with Hybrid Design

It's almost Christmas so it means another video from Amazon on their futuristic drone tech. Sigh.
Most news stations in every country will probably tag this to the end of their broadcasts thus meaning millions saved in advertising for Amazon.
Re:Details of UK website visits 'to be stored for year'

So basically the UK wants to become Google but instead of tracking users to improve products, they will be tracking everyone to catch criminals.
Imagine a full list of sites you visit being stored by your ISP and now available to your government when necessary. Wow.
Does this mean users will be flagged automatically if they visit sites that offer pirated software/movies and the like?

I was referring to the 16GB storage.
The RAM should hopefully be at least 2GB.

How much RAM does it have?
I thought 16GB was bad in 2014 but it's just comical now considering the 4k and 12MP camera.

If you look at the third picture, the guy in green is cloned and blended in where the ball is meant to be.
Re:More Older Adults Are Becoming Inventors

But inventing does not guarantee a golden payday. Only 2 to 3 percent of all inventors make any money from their inventions, experts said.
Key point. It takes more than just an idea to bring an invention to market. Most inventions never get to market for the simple reason their inventors lack the business acumen and don't get the right people involved.
After inventing something the only thing you need to worry about is finding investors, patenting, finding a business person, finding a manufacturer, prototyping, safety testing, finding suppliers and coordinating it all so that you can make a profit. Most people sadly try to do it all themselves, but it takes a special kind of person to know how to do it all themselves and get it right the first time.
