That is unless you’re wearing specially-designed headphones that are somehow comfortable regardless of whether you’re a back or side sleeper....

For anyone familiar with how both Facebook and its privacy policies work, the claim is laughable on its face....

For a phone that costs less than $400, there is little denying the fact that the OnePlus 2 packs in a lot of value. The phone is a huge upgrade in almost every way compared to its predecessor.

As a result, you can change the design, the code and the architecture beforehand. The opportunity cost of fixing problems at this stage is less than addressing issues later when a breach or a flaw gets discovered....
