    They probably have you as an iMessage contact on their phones, yes, and as long as that's the case, you will never get their texts until one of two things happens: 1. They all remove your contact history/info and text you again, 2. You de-list yourself from iMessage. Go here:Deregister...

    The battery is way smaller, yep. I wouldn't call it an app failure, no. I'd say that some of the apps from the other Pebbles won't work on the Round, which means that apps will need to be redesigned. It happens.

    Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. The GoBe is proven bullshit at this point. This thing hasn't left the gates yet.

    Thought better of it and canceled the pledge. I think what ended up bothering me more than anything else was the fact that it looks like a kid's toy once it's put together. I'm gonna follow the project anyway and see what ends up happening. I think that the 1st gen Pebble experience (vs. what...

    Again, very possible. What interests me is how the progression of modules will work out. If you're going to be limited to 4 functions no matter what, that'll be a bit dicey for future expansion, but I doubt it'll stop there. The Pebble started out very, very limited, and it's growing nicely at...

    Entirely possible. I'll let you know when I get mine. And yeah, Agraza, you're probably right, but "the market" on this Kickstarter has responded fairly well. They're overfunded by nearly $1 million.

    This, from the guy that's been updating this here hooker page for the last year or more? No way. You're posting this from a cardboard box, kicked out of your house, burning your clothes for heat, right?

    If he's capable of a con this long, he's a maestro and all of this should be enshrined forever. Somehow, I very much doubt it, but we've all been wrong about these things before, right?

    WarCraft (2016)

    All the rest of the issues with the trailer aside, this one is a non-starter. This is true of, oh, pretty much every fantasy or sci-fi movie, ever. If this is being raised as a judgement on this one movie, that's complete fail.

    J49: An Erotic Life

    This whole story has the makings of an incredible harem anime. Just a shade of darkness with the whole wife-finding-out-but-don't-wanna-upset-the-kids vibe going on. Now make one of the whores an alien and one of them some sort of demonic thing, and you've got a hit.

    So, wait a sec -- You're lying to your wife about many things, and they're things that actually matter. Not playing MMOs, or going to the bar, or whatever. You're unfaithful and you're not only proud of it, but you've actually convinced yourself that she is responsible for your infidelity...

    Why is a 1080p screen considered a negative here? It's a 5" phone. Who cares? If you tell me that you can see the difference between 1080p and 4K at 1 foot in front of your face on a 5" screen, I'll go buy myself a cave in the middle of nowhere and start hiding from Skynet, because you're...

    You have to be sure to remove it from your iCloud account if you ever had it connected. It won't activate without your iCloud id otherwise, even if you reset everything on the phone itself.

    xadion, yeah, I know they are typically baked into the BIOS, but I doubt anyone is recording which key went to which customer. Who knows. I might be wrong.

    Windows 10

    They'd have no way of knowing once the product is out the door, unless the keys have vendor IDs baked in like they used to. Even then, that would tie them to the vendor, nothing more. The only keys that MS really hunts down with a vengeance these days are the KMS server activation keys, because...

    Laptop Computers

    Good choice for an SSD. As to the size, you want to plan for a maximum of about 50% usage, since SSD performance can really start to suffer past that point. The laptop looks like it should be just fine for what you plan to do with it. Beware of Dell's support, though; if you have any reason...

    Slippery: Try a different PCI-E slot. If it works, that's your cue to start looking for a motherboard. If not, I'd RMA the card. (Also, oops, someone else already said this, but it's still a good idea.)

    You're so wrong, it's astonishing, and yet you're calling people out? GTFO already. Using a HR monitor on a wrist watch to measure exertion while lifting is not going to be very accurate. That's what he said. He's right. Move on.

    Yeah, no one's gonna argue that Big Data isn't greedy. Data mining is starting to become a big part of everyone's bottom line, so there's no way they'll let go. It's a huge cash cow for them now. The good news is that there will always be a huge following of people that want nothing more than to...

    Somewhat, but that depends on your definition of "phoning home". Windows Update phones home all the time and contains plenty of info about your system. Sure, you can turn it off (well, you could), but not patching your system is insane. Everything's cloud-based now. It's not a fad and it...

    Most of the phoning home is easy to shut off/defeat, for now, anyway. There will always be more, and it won't always be readily obvious. The part that really gets me, beyond the clear comparison to cell phones and their absolute lack of privacy, is that people think that this is a new thing and...

    Be careful with Amazon's micro server. It isn't free, it's partially free, and that's only for the first year. You won't pay for CPU, but you will pay for storage usage. For the default 8GB disk, that'll come out to about $4/month if I recall correctly. Not a big deal, but comparable to Digital...
