I think the big issue is that VR is a lot like the Uncanny Valley, any nearly imperfection, no matter how small will annoy the user. For VR, there really isn't much room for good enough, it really has to be perfect. Also the problem with games we have had for a long time, with full movement games, it requires a space where our hands are free and are safe to move around. Thus forcing you to clean your room before you play video games. Which may sound good to parents however it would mean not playing that game.
There are about 7 billion people in the world, everyone doing something today. The news cannot cover what everyone did or said, so it needs to trim it, to things out of the ordinary. Now this reporting out of the ordinary normally will create a Liberal Bias. As the most basic aspect of Liberal vs Conservative (in a world view, not just American) is that Liberals want to change problems they see, Conservatives want to keep things as they are. So the Liberals are generally doing things that create news.
Lets say there is a petition to change stop signs from Red to Yellow. Because Yellow is a more visible color, and most people are not yellow color blind, plus a bunch of other stuff. If the news is covering this, they will explain how this group has all these points, while the conservative group will say, lets not confuse people, as yellow signs have historically meant keep an eye out, not necessary do something.
So the Liberal stance will get paragraphs of coverage while the conservative stance will get a few sentences. Unfortunately Conservative news, isn't as much on what the conservatives are doing, but how bad the liberals are. So you will get headline Liberals wants to change stop signs causing the death of thousands. Because not all changes are a good. But still conservative news relies on the Liberals for its action. As News is explaining something out of the ordinary.
There is a stigma in the tech sectors, Men do coding and Women do data entry. Women who are in coding, usually need to double down on their attitude, to show that they are one of the guys. This is unfair, and often has the women, either not being proactive enough, or being too much of a bully to get the promotion. A lot of the these problems isn't overt sexism, but a combination of many subtle differences that really add up.
Also as part of the main question there are a lot of disadvantages of optical cable. Expensive, Fragile, variance in quality... This in general is a turn off for the average person. For an HDMI cable, coax, composite or even cat 5 I can more or less get them for cheap, store them for a decade if I didn’t use them and if I got some equipment that uses it, I’ll just take it out of the box and I am good to go. While optical cable may be superior in terms of digital technology you get to a good enough point, because you just need to send data only as fast as the system can process it. It would be like getting annoyed that you cannot find any usb3 floppy drives only usb 1. A floppy drive is so slow that there is no reason to go really fast. Professional may still use optical cable as they may be recording data in 8k or 16k or even with analog technology and optical cable can still keep up with the future consumer tech even with older technology. However for the hobbiest or amateur it is still overboard.
Wow, that was a popular expression like over 25 years ago. I thought it had died a most painful death, and to be used by out of touch boomers who have no idea on how much time has passed, trying to be cool and trendy, while sounding like an idiot. As even when it was popular back in the early 1990's it made you sound like an idiot anyways. But back then being an idiot was actually kinda trendy.
In general if an industry can self regulate themselves, and work for the general public interest without having the government regulate them, it is a good thing all around. That doesn't mean that we should label them good guys, and stop all vigilance towards them. But the bureaucrats who make up these regulations, have a tenancy to go overboard in some areas and lax in others, Allowing the bigger organizations to take advantages of the loopholes, while the smaller ones are crushed in red tape.
No not at all. If you are going to communicate a position, especially if such a position is expecting use to vote a particular way, which it is to changed how we are govern, then we need more information about such position. You can't anonymously run for president, why should you anonymously advertise who you are pushing to be president. Voting needs to be anonymous, to prevent a backlash from the community, for a choice based on the information you have. Vs trying to give such information, if lies or an attempt to polarize a group, is a way to force the community to backlash against their opponents. I have freedom of speech, which has rules that prevents the government from criminalizing me for my words, however it doesn't mean what I say will not have consequences.
It is called crossing a line. Most extreamest come up because they take a good idea or at least a good intent and then bring it too far, thus become annoying at best or a bunch of murderers at worse. Because the world is far more complex for these simple answers, that has to be absolute.
Dial is a way to adjust an analog signal. In 2032 When Analog computing took over digital ones, once accurate duplicating of analog data became possible. This technology allowed for a near infinite resolution screen, with accurate color, and perfect duplication of sound. As well it increased computing speed by a large scale, Due to massive parallel computing, and the ability to perform calculations in a single process. The dial is an easy way to bring an analog choice to the exact acceptable range.
Well for the most part it is about preventing regulations from being applied as a gut response to a problem. If a company is able to show a good will attempt at fixing the problem themselves then chances are they wont have an agency telling them how to do something.
The comments are disabled. How else am I suppose to warn people about 9/11, Donald Trump Becoming president, or the nuclear attack on the west coast US. Oh wait, I found the dial.
Palm had a smart phone that ran Palm OS, and still the iPhone threw them back to the drawing board to make the failed WebOS. Multi-touch was the key. Before multi-touch was just a fun little gizmo, what Microsoft called its surface technology, was meant to be big screens on tables to replace desktop usage. PDA Makers at the time, didn't think that multi-touch was worth it, because the small screen interacting with many fingers seemed silly, because they were still thinking in terms of buttons. Or screen buttons. You click the up and down arrow, or drag the scroll indicator, not swipe on the document. On screen keyboards were basically useless because they needed laser like precision thus a stylus was needed.
Granted the original iPhone didn't have Apps, but the fact it used a HTML5 Complaint browser allowed for it to really take hold.
I had a Palm pilot, and I think I still have it somewhere gathering dust, because it was just a toy, I was afraid to get an iPhone because I was worried it would be just a toy too. Then circumstances came up where I got one, and I had found it was much handier then the PDA ever were, and I realized that the technology actually changed things.
Apples strength isn't in giving the newest technology, but implementing in a way that it becomes very useful. Critics of Apple will always point out that their popular features have been around in some form or another however Apple tends to put them in a way that such features are core to the usage and not just a cheap gizmo on the device.
Please give a device that won't cause a flame war? A device where no one has had problems with, comes with all the features that everyone wants, and priced so low that buying it would be a no brainer?
Heck I would like to find any mass produced item that can meet your criteria. Unless you want to pay $10,000 for a phone for the same features, by hand crafted by professional phoners who will take a good month putting all the parts together and making sure everything works, and every build detail it perfect. You probably should deal with paying a grand for a phone that should be well above average in terms of quality, and pay for insurance in case you break it.
With the device like the iPhone X which really packs a lot of expensive components together, with Apple still having mass production problems. It isn't too crazy to expect that replacement costs can be expensive. Apple Care insurance is probably worth it for such a new device. As Apple also had covered some manufacture defects from new devices as well.
Even the iPhone 8 which is about the same in performance is much cheaper too. Also 50k in silicon valley, you may want to reevaluate your location for work. You can make the same amount in areas that the cost of living is 25% of Silicon Valley.
Why haven't we seen any really cool deal breaking features that would make us want to ditch iOS and switch to Android? For the most part Android and iOS have been just playing off each other, one will make a feature the other will incorporate it in the next version and vice versa.
10 years ago when Apple released the iPhone, it really had shaken the market up. It even forced Android to redesign its OS, hence giving Apple nearly a 2 year advantage, as competitor were in a mad rush to change their designs. Apple has gotten rather complacent. While the new iPhone X is a state of the art phone, in terms of processing power, however overall as a usefulness of a device it is on par with Samsung Galaxy and the Google Pixel, which have some additional cool features.
If a company is innocent of an acquisition, how are they to prove this to the public?
They cannot confirm it because it is untrue, they cannot deny it, because it makes them seem like they are lying about it. If they say they will investigate it, it means they are dragging their feet. If they can find the source of the acquisition they may be able to sue them for libel, but then it is the greedy big business covering up the plight of the little guy.
In the world of lies, how do you promote the truth?
Now there are a lot of companies that will just outright lie when they are guilty too, but the bigger problem is, how can we show the truth, as the Lies get more press.
I expect it was a seemingly basic tweak to the existing Calculator code from iOS v. 1.0 . And it probably passed the initial Smoke test, and if they did see that problem, they probably figured that they just messed up their typing. I see it more of a fail in QA then in core architecture. These blocking events were probably put way back in 2007 or earlier, well before apple guidelines were in effect for the iPhone. Remember the original iPhone didn't allow custom Apps. Steve Jobs wanted everyone to make HTML 5 Web Applications, which Safari ran.
It isn't a problem with it doing the math. It is a problem of capturing the key press. Being that the button decided to do some fancy animations I expect it just prevented the next plus button from being registered.
The problem is there are a lot of things under basic IT security and it is nearly impossible to checklist them all. Health Care tends to be at least a decade behind in technology and implementing new technology is a big deal, because breaking a downstream system, could cost someones life. So there is nearly always a big queue of things that should be done that you just can't get business approval to do.
How do I know that Apple is such a good citizen themselves? I am getting a new iPhone, not due to some loyalty or trust towards apple, but just the fact I have some paid apps that I don't want to purchase again, and still more apps are made for iOS then Android. Android Phones and the Pixel isn't necessarily a bad phone.
Don't worry there are plenty of excuses of saying what your choice to get an iPhone is a good one vs getting an Android. Also if you want an Android you can get a bunch of different excuses to show why that is a better product.
I have seen a speed test comparison of the Pixel/2 vs the iPhone 8. The Pixel/2 held its own fairly well. It just failed when it needed to do some big processing job, But it seemed to be faster with smaller jobs, and loading data.
There is just as much division in the Republican Party. Why the heck do you think they haven’t passed any major policy change even in control of all levels of government. In may ways the Republicans are worse off. The split between Bernie and Hillary are old news as neither is probably going to run for president again.
