Actually a reasonable GPS system already stores the map internally......just sayin. The only reason we have to stream maps is up until now we couldnt fit them on the device trivially.
Beyond even that, what if im using my cellphone as a hotspot to provide the electronics in my car an internet connection? This is incredibly short sighted.
And this is the ammunition needed to greatly change copyright. Americans firmly believe that there should be a relationship between cost and price. The longer digital media attempts to completely ignore cost when pricing, the stronger the argument to change copyright becomes.
I havent had heat issues since I upgraded everything to Sandy Bridge or above. Currently i have a i5-2500k in a Bit Fenix Prodigy case, a i5-2450S in an Antec ISK 300-150, a Celeron 1610 (Ivy Bridge) in an Antec ISK-110, and a i5-2400 in a mid tower case. All of them have stock cooling and work great.
AMDs heat kills it for me. I would rather spend money on the processor then extra cooling. With a stock cooler, Sandy and Ivy Bridge machines are almost silent.
Logitech is more creative and innovative, but MS has some very solid HID designs. The MS ergonomic keyboard is great, their mice are tanks, the Xbox360 controller was the absolute height of design for its time (except the d-pad).
The thing is, computers themselves are quirky. It comes with the territory. I.T. is really about managing quirks. MS solutions have quirks too, they are just more well known and worked around because of the very high usage. If openoffice was used half as much as the MS solutions, it would have less quirks too due to the increased error reporting.
Get an arduino, some wire and a cheap motor and start there. Dont worry about going full-blown robotics, jsut get experience controlling the motor, programming the microcontroller, etc.
I was young, maybe 8 or 10. I had games for a long time but i had no way of judging good from bad games. In the atari days i could only afford a few games and they were all 'good' to me. E.T. wasn't the worst thing ever, im pretty sure i beat it a bunch of times. I never really thought about it until everyone talked about it years later.
An elected official, in his appointed office should have absolutely ZERO expectation of privacy while in it. That office belongs to the PEOPLE, not him.
Why the 'well it sucks and cant be used for anything yet, but we are going to try it' attitude? ISNT THAT THE POINT OF THE ISS? To try the unfeasible and untested? How many experiments have gone up on pure theory alone and never have real world payouts? This FOR SURE will yield valuable data on advanced manufacturing techniques in space. You couldnt ask for a better experiment.
You can wire an arduino and raspberry together and get the best of both worlds. Also, MicroCenter carries Raspberry Pis at retail now.Not sure why you dont like the busses available on the Pi's GPIO. Its I2c, serial, most of the stuff on the Arduino. I take sensors from my arduino and use them on my pi all the time.

ooo The Drumhead, good one.
Please take your fail conditions somewhere else. Just because the submitter proposed it doesnt mean we have to follow his form.

The new consoles also have hUMA, which is a big step forward.

Where can you order Tray (T) processors?
In a world were heat and power are becoming REALLY important, AMD is lagging behind.
There are still tons of use-cases where all of what you said does not matter at all.
I have a $99 HP1102w laser printer w/wifi that is mocking you right now. Prints from iOS, Android, PC, Linux, and OSX all the time.

As long as MS's influence wanes just like IBM's did, ill be happy.

I see BYOD/SYOD consuming the need for a workstation for most workers within 5-10 years
WWDC will show whether Apple can stay in the game or not. iOS 7 better be hot.
Steam Linux will gain the most share when people stop trying to shoehorn it onto hardware they have, and build dedicated 'console-like' gaming PCs.
If you flat out deny wikipedia as a possible source YOU have lost the debate already.
I know my local microcenter has tiny motors that hook right up to the arduino.
