"[...] and the edges of the can are folded over it and welded shut."

I never thought there was any weld in a soda can... (and I still don't think there is any)

Wouldn't that make Android much less useful?

They don't need to create a special backdoor for the government, Apple has it's own backdoor that it can share with the government if needed... (they have full control of your device already when you are online)

"may" can always be replaced by "may" or "may not" and also see Betteridge's law of headlines which is somewhat related

I keep drinking diet soda and I still can't gain weight (news: big eaters get fat)

it is fairly easy for a site to block most users that use ad blockers ... but it is much harder to not use a site that use advertising when you have an ad blocker...

80% doesn't make much sense, you probably should stick with 1% (or did you mean 8%)

all these claims are worthless when you are not even administrator on the device you use... (they have access to your messages before they get encrypted...)

maybe your father pushing you away from it actually pushed you into it even more, so you better thank him. or send him half that pile...

Android Zero would be great too where you would only get security updates.

I recently switched from magnetic stripe card to chip card and it is far slower to do a transaction... and by the end of 2015 most cards in the US will be chips probably... so I guess this could be one reason.

GPS is a battery hog, that is maybe why they decided to use the phone's battery and GPS?

While that might be true that it won't have much effect on most people, why don't you focus your energy into doing something that you think will make things change instead? Also I don't think most people know what net neutrality is at all at this point.

They should at least have to follow the same law as gift cards for expiration date: can't expire within five years.

In you first picture, if both angle of view would be the same and if the user-taken picture would have been taken before actually using the vacuum, they would look much more similar... (the dust compartment looks full and hide components)

Hopefully they will be held accountable for "broken" cameras...

Do you know the real dollar amounts?

I believe it is chip and signature... I got mine from Bank of America... no pin necessary when the chip is used (and it still has the magnetic strip for stores that don't have chip readers).

I think Kubuntu is slightly better

Do you use email when you want to be even more private? Sure if you don't want a stranger to reply to your message, don't send it to everybody.

If you cannot trust OSX, there is no reason to trust a browser extension as it can be compromised... so why not stay at the lowest possible level.

théatre...

"The change you wanted was rejected.

Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to."

it would be nice to have routers with pre-configured exit nodes

Maybe a new constitution amendment could be created to protect legitimate whistle blowers... since you can't count on politicians/Obama to do the right thing.

Maybe it won't come back up

since I posted this comment it gained about 16 points and dropped from page 2 to page 4

I wonder why this submission is falling so fast from the front page yet still getting upvotes?

TLDR: Windows XP

maybe that means that they plan to sellout
