Can it translate Trump's meanderings into English?

If you're trying to guilt me out of looking for AI porn, you'll have to do better.

Tablet users need not apply

I wish articles like this one would clarify that these benefits apply to desktop Firefox only. They are not available in Firefox for Android and iOS.

Darn.

I was ready to propose to Miss 88% (S). I still might.

That's one small step for man

...one giant leap for marshmallows.

Seek help from Donald Trump

Each time you think he can't go lower, he does.

In the days if dial-up, anyone trying to divorce from America Online (AOL) was put through the wringer. I suucceded painlessly, using this approach:

AOL: How may I help you today?

Me: By closing my account without asking why or trying to change my mind.

As a Googler's father, I can safely say...

They're such sheeple, they probably wouldn't recognize my Android phone, Ford car, Olympus camera, or $25 coffee maker.

Um, LG

I can swap in a replacement battery in my LG V20 in about 5 seconds.

So Yoda German was.

You call that a phablet? This is a phablet.

My old Sony phablet had a 6.44-inch display. And it earned its diagonal rating the honest way: by being wide and 16:9, not by being taller. At 89.5mm, it could live in my shirtpocket.

They already killed the presence icon

Awhile ago, Yahoo stopped letting you see whether someone was online. at that point, for me, I quit. I don't want to begin every chat with the words "Are you there?"

But what about her "moron" comment?

Wasn't it Catz who indiscreetly informed coworkers that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, during a White House dinner, had told her he thought the president was a moron?

Remember Lockheed?

In the 1980s, I worked for Lockheed Aircraft in Georgia, USA. Our plant was making a modest 4 airplanes a month. Wall posters read, 'Look to Lockheed for leadership.' On one poster, a wag had scrawled, 'Look to Boeing for airplanes.'

At 61...

I'm grateful this technology has come while I still can.

Long ago and far away...

In the 1980's, I read about a study here in the states. The researchers analyzed 399 television commercials where either the woman or the man was humorously portrayed as clueless, stupid, incompetent, we're lazy. In all 399, the butt of the joke was the guy.

If the update was for security...

Why does it prevent authentic HP ink cartridges from working in my machine if the cartridges came from Europe?

Did you know that when you attempt to read an article that's blocked, often you can read the article in plain text by switching your browser to "reader mode"? You do now. That's how I read more than 10 articles a month in the New York Times, using my Lightning Pro browser on Android.

Clearly a case of...

code rage.

Hey: If Bruce can become Caitlyn...

I'm just sayin'.

A new feature will point the lass to nearby lads who volunteer to apply it.

Did anyone 'like' his posts or respond to them?

If so, the response's time stamp.

Screw postpaid plans

Switch to a prepaid plan; you'll never again be charged for something you didn't ask for.

If the Earth has been passing as younger...

...that proves the Earth is female. Mother Earth, indeed.

It's a choice

Yet another group who have a problem with capitalist acts between consenting adults.

My favorite IT acronym is the scanner interface, TWAIN

Technology Without An Interesting Name

Yep, that's it's real name!

"We lose on every customer…"

…but make it up in volume."

This article was well-written

It was so well-written that when I glanced at the byline I fully expected to see the name Ray-something or something Ray, the chap who usually writes the RF-related articles in which an abstract concept is clearly explained. Simon Rockman, eh? That's another name I'll gladly look for. Paul

Still pocketable

If a phablet is no wider than 86mm, It can slip into a man's standard shirtpocket. The 1520 measures 162.8 x 85.4 x 8.7 mm, so it's pocketable. In fact, so is Huawei's Ascend Mate, which sports a 6.1-inch screen.
