A cloud in a topology is a networked group of computers. The internet was always referred to as a cloud in diagrams for this reason.
If you have more than one device at home, you have a private cloud (as viewed from the internet looking in.) The buzzword as used now is basically used to indicate running software on someone else's networked group of computers.
Ditto. I cancelled in September 2010 and put up a TV antenna. Couple with that my mythtv box I use to record with, don't miss Cable at all.
I may only have six channels, but there's really no difference to having six channels with nothing on or 150 channels with nothing on. There's still nothing on!
I thought the original Galaxy S with its 4 inch screen while no bigger than the iPhone 4
The iPhone has a 3.5" screen, the Galaxy S1 has a 4" screen. I bought it specifically because I found the iPhone's screen too small.
I also think that > 4" is too big for a phone. I don't want to hold a damn tablet to my head to take calls.
I actually joked with coworkers back in 2010 that soon we'd be holded tablets to our heads to take phone calls. I'm actually saddened that it's coming true.
I probably shouldn't respond to an AC... but oh well.
I actually read TFA and it said they lost $6B due to a bad acquisition and that's why the quarterly profits were where they were. I made a deduction from that article that it isn't going to affect Microsoft in any way really and posted a reply to the 'finally they're going down' comment.
I'm not what you'd call a fan of Microsoft in any way, I use their products because I have to.
Basically what happened is a bug hit Microsoft's windshield , and Microsoft will flick on the wipers and be on their merry way.
I did not find putting the box back to the sleeve too hard. Maybe every box is different?
I wasn't trying to put the box back into the sleeve, I couldn't get the box out of the sleeve.
It wasn't just me: I had a defect and so I called Google and they told me it was defective and to go exchange it as I only had it for 3 days. I found a replacement the next town over, so I drove there to exchange it.
The manager and I figured we should check the replacement, and guess what. He couldn't slide the box out either after multiple attempts and wasting about five minutes, he used a box cutter to get the sleeve off. I even held it with both hands on the counter while he tried to push the box out and it was a no-go.
First of all, the unboxing wasn't that bad. The box was taped, yes, but once I sliced it the box slid apart with no issues. The wrap around the Nexus 7 was not that hard to remove. The only way you can bugger that up is to not notice the directions. There's arrows, move this, then that, and it slides out. When I unpacked some iPads for work they were basically similar in their unpacking.
However, the part that got me about the packing is the sleeve. The box itself was fine. The box slid into a sleeve that had the artwork.
I was about ready to throw the goddamned thing against the wall. The sleeve was pressure fit so tightly that Hercu-Thumbs couldn't even slide it out. After fussing with it for a few minutes I went into a rage and tore that sonovabitch up. If I had to do it again I wouldn't even bother with sliding it off, I'd get a letter opener or something like it to take apart the sleeve at its seam.
Whoever thought of that packing design should be dragged out to the street and SHOT.
In general, the Supreme Court is used to interpret existing laws.
This court is generally used to put laws under the microscope (generally speaking) when it comes to the constitutionality of the law in question; the other major use is when there's an issue that challenges the division of power between the Federal and Provincial governments.
Most frequently the Court hears cases of national importance or where the case allows the court to settle an important issue of law (such as the issue at hand.)
What I was wondering is in the case of legitimate rental use, I don't think regular car insurance will suffice. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the car owners finds that out the hard way.
All you need to do is rent the car to a guy nicknamed Crash that can't afford to acquire/insure a car for his/her own use...
I think the possibility of XBMC being extremely portable is awesome. If you have a phone or tablet you can literally bring your entertainment with you to any room in the house.
I plan to try it with my Nexus 7 and Galaxy S phone. The tablet will probably better due to the larger screen. Couple it with the audio dock Asus is talking about and it gets even better!
Being able to browse and view my media content wirelessly anywhere in the house is an excellent idea!
One thought is that RIM could have a custom Android firmware that is more business oriented - like taking Android and creating an internal messaging system, email, calendaring, groupware, office functionality, intergrate everything together flawlessly and putting it in to the phones.
Any business person that used their phones to do quick work on the go would surely love this type of integration of multiple apps, and they could continue targeting their business users. Hell, they could even do a suite for the Android market for phones that aren't branded as their own.
Now could they actually do this? I don't believe they could in their current state, but this could seriously start to turn things around for them.
It may be obvious to us techy-types, but it's nice to see that it's not only us that sees it that way. I wonder if it'll affect the other litigation against the Galaxy Nexus? Pretty sure that same patent is used in that case.

Better yet, make it "iforgot".
I'm sure the cop will be amused!

Thinking further, I wonder how many people using these huge displays would even notice if the phone capability was taken away during an update...

Microsoft made a bad acquisition and they lost money. They have a long way to go before their situation gets dire.
I guess when you're big enough you can do a six billion dollar oops and nothing much happens.

Damn, I just exchanged mine but it wasn't a battery issue. Mine was cosmetic issue (the screen would pop out of the case.)
The replacement I have now is fine so far...
I had no issues with Google's phone support. I put in a request, they called me back less than 5 minutes later.
I have the Nexus 7.

I have the Nexus 7 as well.
The movie is streamed. If you have network issues you won't be able to watch it.
You can download it to the device to watch later (use the pin, also available in the book section...)
And what happens when both companies deny responsibility?
I've dealt with insurance companies before, I doubt it's worth the risk.

Makes me wonder if Apple is going to start suing other manufacturers when/if they ever release their iPad mini...
I bought the Nexus 7 yesterday, and one of the reasons I bought it immediately is because of that thought.
That was the problem initially, the computers were too loose and malware got in.
You're not thinking big enough, everybody will be using teleporters by then...
#2 should be "Throwing Chairs in Anger".
Probably PS/2 keyboard/mouse. It's getting harder to find boards with those ports now, wonder what they do now?
I haven't had X crash in more than two years now. I blame nVidia for the crashes I had before that, though.
They've already taken a major step backwards with no BB10 until after the holiday season, what's a few more?
