Do we need any more why than for the simple joy of existing?

And Garmins work with Strava and half a dozen other fitness apps.
A fitness watch with none of the common fitness apps is about as useful as a turd wrapped around your wrist.
Sorry Sammy I've been desperate to like your watches for the last 5 years but until you throw some cash at third party support you're a dead dog.
Also no black or silver smaller version for my spindly man wrists? Shame on you!
Whilst your point is valid for a bit of information at a given frequency, there is plenty of room for improvement across frequencies as the restrictions at this point are mostly regulatory than physical.
My physics isn't up to scratch enough to understand how close mobile phone frequency quanta are to the discrete physical limits imposed by the quantum state jumps in the actual EM photons. If indeed that is actually a thing, I presume most of the non-frequency spread solutions are well tried at this point.
Caveat emptor? The successful legal challenge against Indiegogos "orders" not withstanding presumably all the "customers" knew what they were getting into by using a crowdfunding site?
I feel sorry for them - but tempered by the fact no-one can claim they didn't know what they were getting into.
I wonder if the Rimini street lawyers costs are are small enough to be being funded by interest from the potential damage payments?
How much does external counsel sufficient to handle SCOTUS level affairs cost compared to $12m? Its got to be an appreciable percentage, several million dollars I would wager.
What the article doesn't mention is that for £6.66 a month you can get the Office Family plan. That's up to 4tb of storage across 4 users (1tb each), plus 5x4 installs of office 365 and desktop versions including Outlook across Android, iOS, Macos and Windows.
Personally it's almost enough to make me like MS!
Second all the comments on the A3. Its my work phone and there's very little it doesn't do well. For example the finger print sensor is faster than both my iPad Pro and my Moto Z. All for a fraction of the price.
My only niggles are the un-removal Samsung trash apps and the annoying reversal of the standard Android button layout.
"new separate licence in the multi-£k range"
But thats only the margin on a couple of bags of popcorn! Still silly to code around licensing issues rather than hit them head-on. Its also amazing how flexible vendors can be at the end of a sales quarter or when a notice to terminate is issued.
Whole website is a UX nightmare as well. I particularly love(d?) the way that under the default filters it shows me films that aren't on yet.
Why waste the effort coding a queueing system rather than recoding and scaling out the bottlenecks. Talk about getting your priorities wrong.
Sounds like a PHB solution to me. The number of bookings you can handle is directly proportional to your revenue, it makes no sense to artificially limit it.
Partially disagree. Thats your personal preference but not all of that needs to be fixed to recover sales.
Fixed batteries have been a MacBook staple for years with little discernible impact on sales.
Stick in an upgradable SSD and Memory even if it makes it 1-2mm thicker.
Produce equivalent top end MacBooks without the silly and expensive Touch Bar.
Refresh MacBook (non-pro) with a few more ports so its a good Air successor - make sure there is a <$1000 model.
Any one of those would stimulate MacBook demand.
The mid 2018 refreshes did a lot to improve things. In particular the 13" is a pocket rocket now its got 4 cores - 8 virtual as the i5 and i7 both have hyper threading.
There was me thinking that Amadeus was best known for 40 odd years of providing Booking, reservation and ticketing services to the Travel Industry - both Agents and Operators.
I can't think of one LCC that uses them off the top of my head, I'm sure there maybe, but since they charge a transaction fee each time most of the cheaper operators refuse to use them.
@Mark85
You are confusing the Administrator who is in charge of getting as much cash for the rotting corporate corpse of Cambridge Analytica and the ICO who are concerned with breaches of data protection law.
I suspect there is a gap in data protection law where a company is in liquidation or being wound up as the Administrator is merely an agent, and therefore may not be a data controller.
Some guidance here

Basically my reading of that is that the CA administrator could be on very dodgy ground bouncing back those Subject Access requests, depending on the terms of their insolvency contract.
... that Cisco has enough active developers to out compete Amazon is ludicrous. Even if we were comparing like for like (which is AWS employed devs vs. Cisco employed devs), not Cisco registered devs vs AWS registered devs, AWS numbers will be orders of magnitudes higher.
Dont forget that AWS pretty much generates 8-10 new software products per month and whilst you can criticise them for their "throw a product to the wall and hope it sticks" approach, there is zero chance of Cisco out competing even in software defined networking.
Large helping of fail please.
Slacks USP is the integrations. It basically makes the hipster devs never have to leave it. It essentially becomes their comms and notification dashboard. Once you have JIRA, Jive, SNow, Confluence, Webex, Quip and half a dozen others all configured they are in happy land.
It becomes very sticky - precisely because its the glue holding the whole SDLC lifecycle apps together.
Then avoid SE. Simples!
If your code performs the same over multiple lines as a one liner then ignore them. If the one liner is more efficient then suck it up and learn the art and zen of 1 line code.
Personally I hate "short hand" code and the syntactic sugar that is introduced to support it. Its just an excuse to act elitist, make things obscure to noobs and a modern variant of not commenting your code. If it introduces new functionality or more speed or more safety then great. If its elitist ego wanking then f*ck off. </thus endeth my rant>
Trustwave had been hired to assess – but not manage – Heartland's computer security defenses.
Were they really? or assessing just PCI-DSS compliance?
If Trustwave was assessing PCI-DSS compliance afaik its is not the same as actually assessing the full suite of InfoSec activities. I bet Trustwave had no insight as to the quality of those activities, but were merely confirming the processes relevant to PCI-DSS had been followed.
The plaintiffs will lose because they are dumb. Will they be suing every time that Apple releases new functionality that performs differently to the current version? Yes - they probably will, doesn't mean the lawsuit is valid however.
Apple are trapped between a rock and hard place on this one. ALL electronic devices have a finite battery life, I for one would prefer the Apple approach to the scr*w them approach from Android.
Every one of my Androids have lasted <2 years due to battery issues, I just price that into my Android purchases, maybe if they took Apples approach they wouldn't. However since I can get a mid-high range "last years" handset for 200-300 notes I still come out ahead.
@Naive - I think your handle is dead on. Unless you are trolling you are very very naive.
ALL Banks offshore everything they can get their hands on but especially Ops. The only difference is the locations to which they offshore. But India is always high up the list because they all use the 4-5 big Indian IT outsourcers. The Philippines or Indonesia are other favourites due to the large proportion of staff who speak English, and whether you like it or not the international language of banking is English.
...and it was an *Opt-In*, then this would not have happened. But because someone did a "think of the patients" argument it was an Opt-Out.
If they were a bit more choosy about the Type 2 stuff I would be happy to not-Opt-Out. But since Google appear* to be in that category the NHS Digital can go forth and multiply (which by the Iron Law of Bureaucracy they will do anyway).
*Actually we all know that Google are in a special category all of their own called "Here fill ya boots with all Our Data".
Whilst I agree we've been royally hoisted on our own petards a more mischievous part of me kinda wishes that one of 2 things happen.
1. The ESA decision turns out to be illegal under the byzantine EU procurement rules.
2. We knock a new constellation up in double quick time for half the price without the need to fund the ESA pork barrel, with some help from Elons cut price rocket business.*
* Yes in my magical fairyland the UK doesnt do pork barrel politics *cough* BAE *cough*
