So I drop my cable TV, but (having no real choice, as Jebus intended) I keep my internet account with the same company and just watch TV 'online' instead. So they will either throttle me heavily due to the increased IP traffic or threaten to cut me off unless I upgrade to a more costly account. And I'm willing to bet that higher cost will be with in a gnat's ass of the amount I 'saved' by dumping cable TV in the first place.
Apple devices will become more targeted as an Apple owner has demonstrably more income to be swiped rather than someone who owns a more commoditized product such as an LG phone or a Dell computer.
Typing in the first two letters of a smallish but nearby town into Google search instantly returned the full name at the top of the list (I was not logged into Google). I'm hoping there is a way to shut this 'feature' off; if someone is reading over your shoulder (or logging), a typo or your past history might easily result in a firing / divorcing / knifing.
The instinct of survival is married to competition all the way down to our lizard hindbrains. This is why Capitalism - for all of its terrible manifold consequences - remains far more prefereable to humans rather than 'Washing the Peoples Truck'. Even the Central Committee realized this, but I give them about ten years before the tiger they are riding finally turns on them.
I'm sure coloring tubing has been thought of - along with the unitended consequences. Colorizing the tubing material might lead to toxic leaching or other interactions with what is passing through the tubing or induce allergic reactions, along with some colorants possbily not able to stably survive multiple sterilizations. Just coloring the outside of the tubing might even be worse from a wear / tear / transference point of view. Plus is color blindness more or less likely when dealing with transparent pastel colors?
Different connector systems for different functions might be worth a look too, but I can only imagine the inventory nightmare and would incompatible connectors save more lives or cause more deaths in absolute panic, code blue situations?
in the not-too-distant-future, musicians will no longer be robbed blind by record execs, but will be robbed blind by Standard Oil-like non-neutral ISPs, demanding a huge cut to ensure uptime and QOS.
most row crops recieve massive govermental subsidies and also rely on heavy applications of herbicide and fertilizer which end up dumping into waterways and creating dead zones. Corn is the major violator here; it's major end use being to feed cattle before slaughter. Eating corn in fact makes cattle sick and requires the massive use of anti-biotics which accelerates the evolution (gasp!) of superbugs which also ends up in the waste water stream. Oh, and don't forget the gluttonous use of water for irrigation; most plains states water tables set a new record low with each passing year. Even more water is wasted on the obscenely subsidised production of ethanol from corn. But you'll never hear about any of this in a country song praising the simpler, gentler, and more natural way of rural life. Nor any mention of Monsanto and Archer-Daniels-Midlands that lie at the heart of this agri-business web. Oh, and some of the richest US 'farmers' live on Park Place in New York City.
the advertised speed - for the first few seconds (Speedboost, anyone?). Akin to incredibly loud local TV commericials that merely have to be at an averaged sound level of the preceding program, thus allowing massive peaks.
I'd bet the odds are this school district is a favorite with someone within the corridors of power, given that it is a rich enough enclave to buy thousands of Mac laptops. Or perhaps this school is in a key congressional district in the (always) upcoming election.
"Powerball is up to $64,000,000!!" No giant asterisk on the giant sign that you will only see about 45% of that money once all the taxes are taken out (double taxation as the voluntary tax has already been paid). When the idea of legalizing state-run lotteries in the US were being debated, David Brinkley remarked: "Organized crime already has a lottery; it is called the Numbers game. The difference being the odds of winning are better, and you don't pay any taxes on the winnings".
A month or so, (Arbitron?) paid me a couple of bucks to keep a diary of my radio listening for the week. At the end of said week it was honestly blank. Before sending it back, I wrote in the comments section: "Podcasts FTW!" along with the names of those I regularly listen. I wonder how much extra I'll have to pay for this privledge in the Brave New World of non-neutrality and ACTA.
