Or, develop your own app and distribute it using MacOS Server, MDM or VPP. You can even have your own app store in a enterprise environment with iOS. It's not as locked down as people believe. Just there are no public app stores other than Apple's own.
You really want a slow ass micro SD card slot? Apple use speedy chips, iPhone storage can do 500MB+, a micro SD struggles to do faster than 200kB/s 4k writes.
The onboard Ethernet is via a USB to Ethernet controller which also works as a USB hub. Limited to not just USB 2 speeds, but also controlled by the CPU in software to do the networking. Plug in a USB hard drive, if that's in use your Ethernet slows down. The CPU only has one USB I/O.
Why I dumped my TV license. Live TV is just so bad! Unfortunately the BBC are biased toward the Conservatives, they need them on side to negotiate new licensing laws. Meanwhile, I bet the Tories would love to privatise the BBC, putting themselves, the Tory peers, and their chums up for the first few rounds of share buying.
Yep. I have no license, but my TV in my bedroom is plugged in to the aerial so I can receive radio broadcasts. Alarm on my TV tuned to Radio 2 wakes me up every morning.
Is a TV Licence required for listening to digital radio broadcasts?
A TV Licence is required to watch or record TV programmes as they are being shown on TV, regardless of the channel and device being used (e.g. TV, computer, laptop, tablet, mobile phone, game console, digital box or DVD/VHS recorder), and how it is received (terrestrial, satellite, cable, via the internet or any other way). You do not need a TV Licence if you only use this equipment to listen to digital radio broadcasts.
Personally, I'm really into documentaries and the likes. The problem is Netflix US has all these utterly terrible american style docs which stop every five minutes to recap due to ad breaks which aren't there (in case you haven't seen them, the streamlined Mythbusters are a joy if you know where to get them because they chop out all this crap)
Apple does the same with movies and TV programmes purchased through iTunes. Went to America, purchased a few films to watch, with my British iTunes account. Get home, cannot watch them as soon as I connect with a British IP. Go back to America, all is fine.
Smartphone/tablet, software such as DashCommander, and an OBDII bluetooth adapter for $10. Checked out what my Mazda would show in terms of data, here is a list: http://www.palmerperformance.c...
Never had a problem with carrying lithium batteries on an airplane. Carried v-mount and many others, as long as the terminals have tape over them or have a case so they do not short they allow them onboard. Also, you can buy batteries (alkaline or lithium AA's for example, even digital camera batteries) in duty free and carry them on-board, this is after check-in and security.
it does suck, however, that things like this (and the dreadful new search box, the new tab bullshit, etc) are forced on people who then have to figure out how to get rid of the shit or revert to the 'old way', which often means digging into about:config or adding a new third-party extension because they take so much control out of the options UI
Too much in the UI was confusing and un-usable for the average person. From a UX point of view, it was a nightmare. From a support angle, it was terrible. People do not care about control, just the minute people like you'd find here. At least Mozilla is not like almost all open source companies where UX and UI is given no thought because developers design them as they think they should be, not how they should be. Hats off to Mozilla for doing proper usability studies, which Google copied Mozilla's conclusions to make Chrome UI.
Wrist band type pedometers I find highly inaccurate. I have two waist worn pedometers and put them on for a week, at the end of each day they were between +/- 20-50 out (10,000 steps), the FitBit was + 1,000 to 2,000 different. The FitBit was counting when I raised my arm, ate from a spoon, and other stuff...
I do agree we may put our phone down when at home or in the office. However, many pedometers do not count unless it detects more than 20 steps, so at home for me they rarely count my steps.
Yes that's true. To get my Google ID card I had to register online on a kiosk, you have to authorise a G+ app access to your account, if you do not have a G+ account you have to register.
Google HR use it for recruiting. I had to recommend a friend recently for a job at google. The whole job application process is done through G+, form filling, hangout for interviews, the works. Many google employees have secondary accounts that are not public but for internal use only, once my friend got past the first interview a new person circled them, a VP of HP then recommended him for the next stage.
Mac's, especially the iMac, Mac Book Pro and Mac Pro machines have always been competitively priced. Yes you can get PCs with similar or the same spec, but not a 'ton cheaper', the iMac I scratch my head over not finding anything nearly similar for the money, take the 5k iMac, it is insanely cheap. I'm not sure of any laptops with the build quality of Apple laptops.

Or, just send a Profile to the device. No dev account needed. You can install and run your own enterprise apps remotely.

Must be settings. Just tried Firefox and it states:
"Playing bitrate (a/v): 64 / 5620 ( res: 1920x1080, par: 1x1 )"
I call bullshit to this article.

This phone is running iOS 7, any newer version for be far harder and more destructive if you attempted to hack it.

Prefer a USB wifi dongle that I can have on a long cable and the antenna to poke outside the housing that the RPi is in..
Aren't they the size of a filing cabinet?

Just go to http://google.com/ncr to bypass it.
They're really getting as bad as Mozilla here.
Doubt it is a credit card, more of a debit card or cash card.
Not everyone has a credit card in the UK either, I do not.

Newer Home Hub is combined. It's actually a good all in one box with AC wifi, gigabit networking etc.
I get 3Mb, what is the problem is the last mile being made from aluminium wires.

First amend what? This is the UK here!
Anyway, the US amendments can be amended at any time, or totally removed. The clue is in the name, "amendment".
