They even made a series of movies about it.

I remember the mini-war between AOL and third-party IM clients. There were days where AOL would send 15kB patches to AIM multiple times a day to break compatibility with the other apps. And they would then fix it within hours.

In the end, AOL gave up.

'Microsoft, the company that allowed the app to bypass its gatekeepers, was surprised by getting caught in the act and now promises to come up with an excuse that shifts the blame away from them as soon as possible.'

Google already did the hard work, too. Just make each letter within Alphabet its own company.

He doesn't say it tasted or smelled fishy, just that it was the juice of fish... and he apparently hated it.

What are the odds it has a similar aroma to Terran coffee beans?

Quark: "Merry me! One and all!"

You know what? I am absolutely surprised they didn't try to make a Ferangi take on A Christmas Carol at any point during DS9's run. Shocked, even.

"You know what Cardassians have for breakfast? Fish juice. Hot fish juice. After six months, I was hoping for the Klingons to invade. At least they know how to make coffee."

"Misuse"

You can take my Q-tips from deep within my cold, dead ear canals.

It's a really cool discovery, but I don't know how Apple is suppose to program against it.

What surprises me is how much of a time range each photo has to work with. Enough time for Tessa to put down one arm and then the other. It's basically recording a mini-video and selecting frames from it. I wonder if turning off things like Live Photo (which retroactively starts the video a second or two before you actually press record) would force the Camera app to select from a briefer range of time.

Maybe combining facial recognition with post processing to tell the software that if it thinks it's looking at multiple copies of the same person, it needs to time-sync the sections of frames chosen for the final photo. It wouldn't be foolproof, but it would be better than nothing.
