Antenna Win 7 DVR (w/nightly compression) has been up for 3 years. Win 7 off-site DVR w/CableCARD has been up for 2 years. NO administration required beyond initial, cheaper then a TiVo and MUCH more flexible. If you design something to function as an appliance, with a defined role, its easy to keep admin to a minimum.
It wasnt Amazon per se, it was that it can be arbitrarily decided how my hardware will function. IM not starting an anti-Apple crusade, i merely am going to stop buying their product due to my unmet, but pretty realistic expectations. I'm logged into the ipad, im logged into the Apple TV, what is the problem with letting me screen mirror? It jsut exposed the fact that its never going to behave like the discrete hardware i expect it to and its time for me to move on to other solutions that allow me the level of freedom im looking for.
The only reason i got them is that i also have an ipad2 and I assumed i would be able to stream ANYTHING from the ipad to the AppleTV. I was PISSED the first time an app said it doesnt allow that (amazon i think). Those sort of controls on the content should not even exist in the hardware interaction. That was when i decided my Apple experiment was over.
I have 3 apple TVs. Just go buy a chinese media player instead of hacking the Apple TV. Or a WD Live or jsut about anything other then something you have to hack into to make it work as it should.
THe reason i wont buy an Xbox one is that Im tired of Microsoft trying to wring a penny out of EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of the console. That and forcing a camera in my living room aint happening.
There is something to be said for just hopping in my Corolla and knowing its going to start every day for the next 10 years. That doesnt mean its fun or exciting, only consistent. The plain fact is, the PC is a premium experience, but you give up convenience for outright performance and extensibility.
You dont need to overlay or any of that. Simply moving your SPEEDOMETER to a line of sight view is an improvement. It doenst even have to be numbers or gauges. You could make a colored box slowly change the color as you change velocity. No need to focus on anything but the road if you give them nothing to focus on. Simple, intuitive, functional, safe. You are using fear instead of addressing the issue at hand. This is knee-jerk reaction lawmaking.
Yes believing that the word 'papers' includes all comms is 'chanting for the 4th'. NO amount of legal wrangling makes this sort of thing legal, no matter how dismissive you are of the 4th. You dont save the nation by ignoring its tenets.
I put them on a remote server so I dont have to install them on the many devices i have. Also, all my friends have access to the cloud store too. Finally, the biggest single file i have on there is 27MB (Majora's Mask), not exactly putting a dent in any modern bandwidth allocation.....................
No need to store them all on your device itself. Upload all your roms to google drive/dropbox, pull right from there. This is how i have my Ouya setup.
It starts with people recognizing and discussing how wrong it is. It has taken me years to feel confident enough to say the commerce clause is bullshit.

Can these Samsung Smart TVs be made to ignore all the convergence stuff and just be a monitor?
Mp3 players > AAC players

I show people that site all the time and they are 'meh'. They would much rather be advertised to and sold something then seek it out for themselves.

In itunes you still have to convert to Mp3 from AAC

IN the context of 'next-gen' no Wii U does not exist.

RAGE speaks volumes on Carmack's ability to make games in the 21st century

Umm bullshit. One of the reasons I bought a PS3 is to run Linux on the exotic hardware.

NO, fuck humans driving cars. We lose WAY too many people in car accidents, robot cars WILL happen.
The point is, Google Glass could be an incredibly useful driving tool. It is only short-sightedness and unfounded FEAR that drive laws like this.

Yes, but the commerce clause is utter bullshit as interpreted. WHile your argument may be legal, its still wrong and needs to be changed.
