Comment Re:Is the RIAA going to Sue for copyright infringe (Score 1) 89

NASA is banking on them going to the ends of the universe to make sure that the 0.004 cents per stream is paid. While they are out there, they can carry a few probes.

The touchbar would be nice if you could pin one application's functions there. For example, if you could leave the controls for your video conferencing application on the taskbar and interact with a browser. The mute/unmute function is right there ready to be used, and you can keep working on your stuff for the meeting.

Comment Complaining about the refs is part of the game (Score 1) 286

The purists complain about it because complaining about the refereeing is part of the post game rituals. If the refs were infallible and omniscient, it would remove this social aspect of the game. You can't go into work the next day and say something like, "did you see that ludicrous display last night?" and then spend the next couple of hours discussing the art of flopping and the fine subtleties of the rules if the refs don't mess up all the time.
