However, ALL car navigation systems are idiotic, because they're all 5 years behind the times by the time they make it to market; smartphone navigation apps are far more advanced, and always will be. It's even more idiotic that the carmakers actually expect people to pay for map updates, instead of just updating the maps continuously for free like Google Maps
My Audi has Google Maps for it's navigation system already, it works great.
My wife uses her everyday as well. She basically wanted tablet functionality and a keyboard. She doesn't need a DVD-ROM drive, Core i5/7, etc. She uses it for her everyday web-browsing...looking up recipes, doing school work, or sharing stuff with our daughter. That's it. Any other features on a laptop would be wasted.
Plus, as a teacher all of the grading and performance applications are web-based so she can input her grades, create lesson plans, and do all of her performance evaluations on the Chromebook as well. This would have been too tedious without a keyboard (as compared to getting her a tablet and then having to buy a separate keyboard), so the relatively inexpensive Chromebook was the ideal solution for her.
She doesn't need to worry about installing updates or applications and she can easily store all of her data in her Google Drive so she can access it anywhere.. on her Chromebook, phone, desktop PC, or at school.
Seriously. With all the actual issues they have been having with trading system I'm sure the vulnerability on the website was the least of their worries.
It is like saying FBI.gov or NSA.gov has a vulnerability so all our countries secrets will be exposed.
Yeah, I agree. Porting the game might not be much of an issue but like you mentioned the consumer will have to re-purchase the game, which will be an issue for most.
So then why aren't books and other material not banned during these times? A large hardcover book will certain hurt just as much, if not more than my Kindle.
I ordered a Pi from Newark/element14 (a Farnell company) about 1.5 months ago and it finally got delivered yesterday. I would check them out if you are still looking for one.
I am located in US, so I'm not sure if that will make a difference or not but I believe they ship internationally as well.
If I buy a PC game that has prohibitive DRM (i.e. from Ubisoft), I will always download the pirated version of the game to make sure I dont have any ridiculous issues like we see here. I dont care about the legality of it as I purchased the game, own a license, and therefore I will play it whenever I want, will upgrade my PC as much as I please, etc.
Obviously. That's where the marketing and advertising teams demonstrate their worth. They make people believe that's what the phone is worth and that they are getting an incredible deal by locking in with a two year contract when in fact all they are doing is subsidizing the cost of phone and spreading the cost back to the consumer over the term of the deal.
The price will always be what the consumer is willing to pay and the fact that people are willing to pay $600 for a cell phone, either upfront or over the course of their contract, means the market price will never be much lower.
The biggest problem with the majority of the population is their infatuation with credit and paying for good later. A good amount of people live well above their means and buy luxury items they have no business owning. By spreading the payments over a long (2 year) term, people believe as if they can afford more than they could if they were pay the $400 upfront. We see this every day and the large corporations know exactly how to exploit this mentality and take advantage of the ignorance some people. We saw an extreme measure of this mentality bring this country basically down to its knees with the sub-prime lending disaster.

Umm no, it's not. It's actually 3,472 per second. Check your math.
Google Authenticator, it's been around for a while now.

I'm sure they do, just not legally of course.

I think the biggest issue with 3D is the glasses, most people hate them and don't want to wear them to watch TV or a movie.
So you are saying the contractors get paid for their services daily? It most certainly is a political stunt.
white space on the sides. What is the point? Most people are using wide screen monitors and high resolutions, so there is way too much wasted space.

He got America online, now he can do with it Afghanistan. AOL will live on!
They are, just not in the US. The KitKats everywhere else are 1000x better than the US version. I love the Green Tea KitKats in Japan.
go with DDR3 instead of GDDR5 like the PS4.

Nope, they switched to x86.
will feature this technology. It will be interesting to see how it stacks up.
= 100 thousand? A 100 million would be $100MM, if done correctly.
It's per second

on the alliteration fella.

I'm not sure what you were doing but I have S-OFF on my HTC Evo 3D.

Good call, because my Evo 3D definitely isn't unlocked, overclocked, and running CM7 (among other ROMs).
