Re:Intel to Acquire 15 Percent Ownership of Here on Wednesday January 04, 2017 @10:23AM (#13318959)
I don't understand the hype with here. Google has the better mapping service by far an every other service are far behind, including here map.

The only contender is Osm with is already better than Google in some country and evolving fast.

Some good example is the maps.me application on Android and iOS which is an open source offline map application with everything needed. And you can even contribute to osm from the app.

So why do they buy something which is worse than a free one?

Maybe I'm just missing something.

How is it better than the chrome one?
Rude but it's the truth. It's not because you work at Facebook that your job is cool.

Not at all. Nothing is available in full HD. Torrent are hard to find and die quickly.

But everything for movie and TV show is available for free easily but still everything is working great for Netflix.

Not really. Pornhub is very late in tech. Their website is a lot buggy. A lot of thumbnails don't load. They were very late on HD. And you can't even pay with bitcoin. It would be perfect for pornsite. And their is still no Netflix equivalent for porn which is very expensive when you compare to a normal show which is a lot more expensive to make
Why are they doing this?
But unfortunately he's right
