    Los Angeles school district demands multi-million dollar refund from Apple

    And that's why they fail—you want it to do everything, when it's not designed to do everything. I say this as a student: you can make an iPad be a textbook, or you can make it paper. You can't make it do both at once; it only has one screen. The world has this unhealthy Swiss Army knife...

    The world’s first robotic kitchen prepares crab bisque for Ars Technica

    Dominos has been playing with automation tech for close to ten years now. They already have machines that can sauce, cheese, and top, and last I heard they were working on streamlining the dough stretching, loading/unloading to/from the oven, boxing, cutting, and distribution. Their goal is to...

    For art’s sake! Photoing neighbors with zoom lens not a privacy invasion

    You're not alone; this is creepy as hell, and in no way artistic imo. He'd be in real trouble if he did this in a state such as Florida.

    Google Fiber plans expansion, then TWC makes speeds six times faster

    Off topic, but "all digital?" I'm not the smartest, but isn't the internet digital already? Is there some analog method of accessing the Internet that I'm not aware of? I'm not trying to insult you, I'm wondering if that's actually what TWC said, because if so, I want them to show me their...

    Halfbike II is a pedal-powered Segway hybrid

    Honestly, I wouldn't have a folding bike either. Tiny wheels are tiny and inefficient. I like my 26" cruiser. Also, it's true that they are heavier than a normal bike, but as I said, I'd rather have a folding bike with a seat than a stand-n-ride tricycle. Biking while standing is stupid...

    Halfbike II is a pedal-powered Segway hybrid

    So, it's an adult tricycle, with no seat. I'd rather have one of these. It goes faster, and has a seat.

    The 2015 MacBook previews a future that’s not quite here

    Add to that the fact that the iBook from 15 years ago also had a charging port, so you could actually use the damn thing when you were charging the laptop.

    Comcast wins fight against DirecTV’s creepy, hairy versions of Rob Lowe

    You'd be surprised what Adblock Plus can do to keep you ad-free. The only times I'm hit with ads are either while I'm listening to music on Pandora, or watching stuff YouTube, and I can usually skip the YouTube ads. On average, I'd say that I see/hear about 30 ads in a week. It's not zero, but...

    Barrett Brown suddenly stripped of prison e-mail after talking to press

    Wow. That's pretty fucked, if I do say so myself.

    13-year-old Minecraft player confesses to swatting, police say

    Not if they all get off with probation. Probation doesn't deter crime, it's just a revenue source for the city. The kid should lose all pc access until he's 18. Anything more wont help, and anything less would be a front against the kids victims.

    Filming cops from within a 25-foot radius could be illegal in Texas

    Pinellas county sheriff deputies routinely block people from recording them. I used to have a picture of a few of them linking arms in front of the camera, but lost it when I unlocked my iPhone and forgot the damn password to my backup.

    Genetic data gives a window into the slave trade

    Doesn't work on iOS chrome though

    DirecTV tricked customers into paying hundreds more for TV, FTC alleges

    DirecTV is lower than Comcast. They got my mentally ill uncle with this shit. I'll have to show this to my mom who cares for him. She's thinking of suing, so this may help her case.

    iOS 8.2 uses your home screen as an Apple Watch advertisement

    Sigh, another one for the Appleware folder

    You have the right to bear arms, not “electrical” arms, court declares

    I thought Florida had some fucked laws, but even Florida gives us a choice of how lethal we want to be in our defense. Someone is going to die over this law, that could've lived, because it's not legal to defend oneself otherwise. No, sometimes pepper spray isn't enough. If it were, stun guns...

    VMware alleged to have violated Linux’s open source license for years

    That's a shitty move from VMware. It seems like ethics is just a word in today's world.

    All Sky Fireball Network cameras pick up a fireball over Pennsylvania

    Bit of a large dust cloud for hucking a 500lb rock at us, but then there isn't much holding down that dust either. I say we throw one back. Just in case.
