The fact that Apple use the technology at all implies that it is necessary and therefore adds value to their product, and yet such a large and cash rich company as Apple fights tooth and nail to avoid paying for it.
I'll stick to my cheap but excellent Chinese made waterproof, dustproof and drop proof phone that has a bigger battery, more ram, more memory and is less likely to be stolen than a Walled Garden™ item.
We have quite a few kebab shops run by Moroccans here the meat is Halal so always fresh, being Spain, the tomatoes are excellent and the spicy sauces they come up with are top endorphin stimulaters, MacD's on the other hand are expensive smell like a trash can and the sugary burger buns are only slightly less disgusting than the dildo* pickle that taints everything it comes close to.
*Yes I know, but I doubt it has ever had anything to do with a vegetable.
I would also like to know the legal definition of '100% Fresh Beef'.
Outside of the West it is common public opinion that the virus is part Trump's plan to destabilise China's economy. One broadcaster mentioned the more than 150 bio-warfare research labs that exist in the States, true or not it's easy to see where this kind of thinking comes from.
I used to go to a few trade shows in the UK for various types of equipment, even as the guy who signed the purchase orders, I still never received better than the odd propelling pencil, something I have never used.
However, most of the exhibitors I already had a working relationship with, would pull out bottles of good scotch and offer me a snort, I always declined as a: I don't like scotch and b: I like to be able to remember what I have ordered and signed for. The upside was that I used to get good discounts for personal purchases that I needed for ahem, my side job.
No-one would have believed in the twentieth year of the twentyfirst century that more and more of this world was being watched keenly and closely by tiny intelligences and yet full of their own importance; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.
With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter, unaware or uncaring that the tiny intelligences were convinced of the wrong doing of every human.........

"I often wonder in this day and age if a new player could enter the search or connecting people marketplace."
Considering I have just discovered that there are people who sell 'Adulting classes' to Millenials

I should think there is a market for just about anything.
WARNING the link I gave will try to track you.
I'm beginning to wonder if evolution has decided humankind are no longer fit to survive. Coming Up; Darwinian Pandemic strikes!
For the IoT traffic signs that will inevitably be introduced when there are enough self driving cars on the road. I am guessing they will broadcast speed limits and traffic conditions with an update facility that script kiddies will love.
"But the traffic sign told me to accelerate and turn into the oncoming traffic."
I wouldn't want you to design or recommend anything that may affect my life or safety.
Where local or regional emergency services are needed, local and regional knowledge with robust redundancy built in is the way to save lives and property. An unwieldy top heavy national system would cost lives even in the unlikely event of it saving money.
Voda' employees and those of Voda' franchises are trained to lie, I say that because the lies you get from different people at different locations have a common theme similar enough to show they originate from the same source.
In my last dealings with them before going to a different supplier I recorded the conversations.
When you record face to face in one of their shops and tell them you are doing it, the conversation on their side is almost non existent.
That'll piss off the yanks, they think they own the Marianas Trench as the islands of the same name are US territory and the trench is a declared US National Monument. So they can accuse another Chinese company of not only being a security risk but stealing American place names as well.
That was more or less my take on their results, more an attempt at creating a statistical Idiot Savant with the accent on idiot than wvientific research.
I suppose if enough black boxes are built, sooner or later one will apoear that is fully understood and broader in scope than most of these are at the moment, possibly even intelligent.
How many people still fall for these scams every year. You would think as the scam goes on, demanding ever more money without revealing anything useful that the scammed would become suspicious and pull out or investigate in some way.
Or is it that they are too embarrassed to admit they may have been gullible and continue in the hope their suspicion is wrong?
The scum who run these things shouldn't be able to get away with it so lightly, I can imagine they have destroyed lives, settling like this is too easy for them.
That is his is retrospective. Does that his mean that overturning okd conictions will open up the possibility of compensation for those having paid fines or suffered consequences from arrest such as loss of their job etc?
I can see some litigation coming when it's decided who should be sued.
It's a well known fact that aliens don't use keys, they teleport in and out so they wouldn't steal your keys.
The large ones are clumsy but you would notice one knocking a picture off the wall, as for toilet paper; you have heard of Terran Tummy?
So no intelligence involved just a probability engine?
This is possibly ready for Instagram or Whatsapp chats because they are vaccuous and mostly content free, a white noise generator of the written word
No intelligence here, nothing to see, move along please.
I was wondering if the judge could make an order preventing Lynch's extradition before he has made his judgement.
In the event Lynch is not found culpable, that should have an effect on the extradition proceedings.
The uptake of so called AI to deal with the issues in the article are a clear indication of the lack of professionalism and disinclination to learn on the part of those who fun the justice and welfare systems.
The software is only as good as the writers and they will only be as good as the hey are allowed to be, given the algorithms are commercial products, they will always suffer from the pressure to get it into the sales catalogues.
The potential damage these products can and are doing to society and the way government is run will be expensive and difficult to remedy.
Knowing Crapita, I suspect that the member of Crapita staff implenting their upgrades is normally employed in the canteen cleaning up but has an interest in IT, so he gets an extra fiver when he does a bit of PC work. Probably , he got to do the upgrade at pub o clock on a Friday.
The UK is buying history's most expensive military aircraft ever and the UK has to spend the time and money to prove it's operational reliability?
Or am I reading it wrong?
Not only that but the damned things have to use WX to operate the maintenance software, I hope they can kill the telemetry and avoid an in-flight BSOD inducing incoming patch.
F35 the gift that keeps on costing, perhaps they should done a fleet lease scheme.
