Comment Re:$1200 for an upgraded 6S plus (Score 1) 248

I totally agree with you. I have my 3 year old 128GB iPhone 6S Plus and it's going strong. I see no need to upgrade really. I figured I'd switch when they switched to USB-C and brought back the finger print reader (in display finger print reader preferably). I'll miss the headphone jack though, as I still use it to plug into my wife's car, but I figure it's going the way of the floppy disk. Anyway, with this news, it seems that I'll be waiting longer before I upgrade (cue more poor iPhone sales until Apple figures out what people want).

Comment No contracts and nothing really new (Score 1) 182

I think it was a bit more than two years ago that most carriers stopped offering two year contracts that gave a nice discount on the phones. I bet the phone industry is just starting to see the slowdown from that as everyone who might be shopping for something new is seeing the high price tags of a brand new phone. I have an iPhone 6S Plus and it still works great, does all I need it to do. Sure, the new one has a faster CPU and better camera... but it's not $800-$1000 out of my pocket better. If there were two year contracts again and I could get a new phone for half the price, I might consider an upgrade. Till then, I'll stick with what I have.

Comment Oh this could be bad... (Score 1) 187

While I'm all for getting rid of sex traffickers, the line "eliminate a provision that shields operators of websites from being liable for content posted by third-party users" could be a bit scary if it leaves the narrow scope specified. I mean, if it's ONLY applied to sex trafficking websites cool, but I could totally see companies jumping on this bandwagon and holding web hosts responsible for content posted by third-party users. Imagine the copyright lawsuits that would happen. Maybe it's just the cynic in me, but corporations/congress have done this kinda "Look, we're doing something good" with something really terrible as the real intention before.
