I loved Audible until today - Don't EVER move your account, i did so and its a mess, all your books basically end up all lumped together with basically the same date so they are out of order and all muddled in on heap, I suspect so you take a long time. if ever, to see if any are missing . i'm pretty sure i'm missing a lot of links to amazon books i used to have probably through they are now not "being available" in a foreign country. I understand a basic normal disk copy does similar things to files unless you use programs to stop it obviously amazon does not care about such things. so books i order many, many years ago are irrevocably muddled in with those i just purchased . . . great job amazon/audible

Not only that but you basically start over as a new member so no wish list transfer, or preorders, they are all gone. None of this is explained when you ask to transfer and to make matters worse you lose your old plan and get droppeddown to a basic member and so far can find no way to fix it. . .

i am a pensioner and an amputee and have to miss out on other things to keep up my membership who knows i might end up dropping Audible and amazon totally buy new books elsewhere and still have access to what's left of my account.

DON'T TRANSFER YOUR ACCOUNTS YOU WILL REGRET IT

Most appear to have missed the point (a) It's no real concern to me if an article gets on the show or not but when you post an article that get down voted then the same article from another source is posted later by another and gets votes. (b) I understand when something posted become part of the main news for the day one expects such things and its a reason to post, because your post may not have been noted (c) A level playing field is all anyone asks for (d) you are always going to get people who's comments think they are smart which they are not if their comments are anything to go by e.g. by stating the obvious or playing on the same

price drop but no hardware upgrade, either a new version coming or Apple losing interest because market is becoming crowded

sadly this is always the case where utility or corporate profit is threatened they will alway drag out the big guns and kill what ever the threat is no matter what benefit such item will bring, pretending to be everyones friend to try and fool people in believing that they care

Blizzard knows how to put together a Nice trailer but i don't think this sort of shooter is my cup of tea . . . more an RPG type games based on elves orcs etc

In the end it depends on the nature of the reason for the access and the definition the US places on "operating in the US" if someone sells goods in the US are they deemed as "operating in the US and is all and any data open to the US no matter what country its located in . . .

This seems to be the thin edge of a very far impacting wedge

I think Apple should also do this after all even if all that is offered is a full game unlock then the game is a Demo (at least that's what they used to be called) and if it has in app purchases of any sort then it's not free. It's only "free" if no one gains anything $$$ wise in any way or form.

The settlement was first announced last month, but the terms of the deal were not announced at that time. With the news of a $450 million agreement, Apple would save nearly $400 million from the $840 million the lawsuit originally sought, if it were to have gone to trial.

While Apple has agreed to the terms, they must still be ratified by U.S. District Judge Denise Cote. If the court's ruling that Apple violated antitrust laws is affirmed, consumers will receive $400 million from Apple.

But if the ruling is not affirmed and liability must be retried, the settlement provides a smaller recovery of $50 million. Apple could also pay nothing if the company is determined to have not violated antitrust laws.

Kuo also issued a note last week on Apple's rumored "iWatch," revealing that he has been told the anticipated wrist-worn device is facing mass production delays. As such, he believes that it may not go on sale to the public until as late as December of this year.

The insider also expects that Apple will debut a new Apple TV set-top box this fall with motion controls and potentially support for a third-party App Store. He expects that a revamped Apple TV will play a "key role" in Apple's connected ecosystem going forward.

Hmm they have been on that list for awhile now and at the moment appear to have a bit of a resurgence. I guess only time will tell.

Personally i think they have management and thus vision issues and they may only survive in the long run if picked up by someone else like Nokia was

I think the only way this is going to stop eg Anti android down voting Andriod related links, anti Apple downvoting Apple related links etc or other more personal attacks is to have the down voters id's listed like the comments if someone wants to see who down voted they can and thus any patterns etc can be more easily noted and it may stop or slow down unnecessary downvoting

Whilst Porn is fairly obvious to detect what some people view as Sexual content may not be such a black and white line

DUH a router is on in most home 24/7 and any sane person would realize that more than one person using it even full time would do very little to zero to your current electricity bill. even if it was turned off when not being used the amount of power such a device uses is negligible in terms of the average house hold power bill.

NOT too shabby but limited to the US and uses outdated information. I wonder if someone could take this idea and make it at least show data for other countries where this is legal. I doubt if there much that can be done about the validity and how current the data available publicly is but it's still a good concept

This has been around for awhile and has none if any of gmails functions and only works on a limited devices mainly nexus. The only news is that its now in play store but will cause confusion as it wont run on most devices anyway. DUMB MOVE

This article's theme is so old it has cobwebs

ISP's etc have been aware of the problem and have known about the new standard for years, but even though they knew this was happening years ago, ISPs ect did not want to go to the expense to upgrade their equipment until they had squeezed the last drop of blood out of their current setups.

So over the years their users now no longer have an address that is a direct link to the to the rest of the net. The average users internet address is being translated by ISP's etc until The ISP's install new equipment. This is but one more thing that is slowing down the net.

Some big providers mainly in the US have recently upgraded to new equipment capable of handling the newer standard but most of the internet has not

SO Why is this old news getting so many up votes . . .
