I mean this literally... other than CAR salespeople, who cares? Every decade or two, when it's time to get a new CAR, I go to the CAR store, and I buy something that they have in stock, within my budget. I couldn't care if it was GASOLINE, DIESEL, or HYBRID powered. A CAR is a CAR is a CAR.
I do. When I got a new car, I was purposely looking for an electric car. However, sort of to your argument, I purposely bought the most utilitarian car (electric smart car). I would have paid something for more range, but the "range anxiety" has mostly not affected me.
Uhh, you don't have to "jump between devices or apps" on a Tivo either... Rather, you get the shows listed in your main program layout, then once you play, sure, it would have to launch netflix.. I highly doubt this is any different..
Vast majority? How? It gets tons of NEW games each month, and many of those games are simultaneously released new to PC, so they are by definition not "remasters".
(BTW, I 'just' got a PS4, and purposely buy old games myself, and would rather play old/cheap games.. so I wouldn't care if what you said were true.. but it's not.)
WhyTF should anyone hang onto ancient and obsolete technologies just to accommodate the media companies?
They're not "ancient and obsolete", since they provide BETTER picture and more usable controls (far less latency fast forward/rewind) than the streaming video.. Plus movie extras (I realize many don't care about those, but I like them a lot, even though admittedly most rental DVDs/Blurays have only a tiny portion of it if any).
Even though tons of "video stores" have gone away, if a company can put up tons of vending machines to rent movies and games, it seems to me yet another sign physical media is not dead.
But The Daily Show (and "The Colbert Report") pointed out hypocrisy of politicians on both sides, by showing video clips of them saying one thing and doing another, or flip-flopping (and claiming they weren't flip-flopping, or giving no reasonable reason for them having done so -- yes, of course there are good reasons someone can change their mind, but to do so and claim you haven't is wrong).
People keep saying Hershey's is bad, but Hershey bars do get what I would call a "milky haze"... which I thought was just the cocoa butter separating from the other ingredients.
EVERYONE is paying more to cover the fee for those whose convenience is worth more to them than their money or privacy.
Yes, I said this originally.
We are all paying more. But since at each INDIVIDUAL purchase, RIGHT NOW, I am paying the exact same price whether I pay via credit card or cash, I will take the one that is cheaper (later) for me, AND more convenient, credit card.
In fact, today I paid with cash for something for the first time in a long time (except quarters in pinball machines), since it was so much less than a dollar I felt sheepish paying by credit card. (Was using up CVS rewards they gave me.. Not the rewards bucks, they just gave me $2 off grocery, no minimum requirement.)
Well, the only thing I'm "making" off my own transactions is the cash back, but don't tell the credit card companies this, I'd still do it without the cash back.. ESPECIALLY if I can do it with Apple Pay.
Even ignoring the cash back, it's faster/more convenient to pay by credit card.. but since I do get the cash back, it's cheaper too. (Yes, the stores pay the credit card companies, but at each purchase, my price is the same.. and of course I do pay off in full every month so pay no interest. I'm getting an average 15 day interest free loan.. awesome.)
You must NEVER see commercials (as much as I avoid them, I still see them), because Angie's List does commercials, and AFAIK does podcast commercials too.. She also does a newspaper column.
Angie's List -- the place that I think most people, including me, start off describing as "Oh, you mean the Yelp! that you have to pay for?".
Though the last episode of the "How I Built This" podcast was about Angie's List, and was entertaining. It was more work and started up earlier than I had thought. I'm still not going to subscribe to Angie's List, but it was entertaining.
Doesn't it need to go outside your firewall so that you can connect to it from the outside? Or rather, so that _Joe User_ can connect from the outside? Specifically, to connect outside-your-home users to your home through a third party, because your cable company could give you a different IP address?
Kodi for highly customizable local access and Plex Media Server for external access and transcoding for STBs, mobile devices and less capable clients (cough iOS cough)
Why do you NEED to transcode? VLC on iOS will play the raw media files. I use it to play shows directly downloaded from my Tivo.
I admittedly don't have a huge sample size, but just based on a couple of examples, entering addresses in standalone GPS units always seemed way more difficult than on a phone..
e.g. you can't enter 1234 Whichever Road, Wherever City
you have to enter each specific thing individually, with a bad touch keyboard, possibly in a different order on different brands' devices.
I know they often made/make the same kind of complaints about in car nav on the CNET On Cars video podcasts.
Who in the world would like to watch a move [sic] on the tiny little screen?
I'd be more likely to watch TV that way, since I already do it.. watch TV while walking on the treadmill every day. Vegging and watch TV (stuff I have downloaded and am watching via the VLC iOS app) is the only thing that gets me in the habit of doing it every day.
Yeah, sorry, I didn't make that clear. It does say they indemnified him before passing that new bill though.. (Which I guess is different from forgiving him, but they didn't impeach him or anything.)
Lincoln's actions were ruled unconstitutional in the US Circuit Court of Appeals, by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and Lincoln just straight up IGNORED that ruling. And when people bitched about this, Lincoln had them thrown in prison too. Lincoln went on to throw a massive chunk of the Maryland Legislature in prison, just to keep them from voting, which is a MASSIVE stretch of the concept of "rebellion or invasion"
I'm just reading wikipedia, but the House & Senate subsequently passed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... to authorize the President to suspend it.

Unless you literally mean a computer monitor, a "TV" monitor (i.e. tv without any tuning) actually costs more than a regular TV...
so just don't connect a regular TV to the network..
I do. When I got a new car, I was purposely looking for an electric car. However, sort of to your argument, I purposely bought the most utilitarian car (electric smart car). I would have paid something for more range, but the "range anxiety" has mostly not affected me.
I'm not claiming I will get a curved TV, nor do I deny that it's _largely_ a gimmick.
However, don't you agree that, in theory, if you were in the center, a spherical screen around you would be the best experience?
I think that the curved TV gimmick was _attempting_ to go slightly towards that, for the one person in the best viewing spot.

or a neighbor, or a friend who stays/works at home..
Jeez, technology isn't always the solution.
Some of us would rather spend money on things other than what you think are good cars (which are likely very very very expensive). Or save the money.
I do envy the various perks like free food & fitness center some of these well known companies give out, though.

No, it makes perfect sense.
Along with an Amazon Prime subscription, that movie is free to stream.
You can PAY to watch it without an Amazon Prime subscription.

Thanks, I've thought so too, but the Anonymous Coward claimed that stores would let him pay 3% less if he paid with cash.
Can you give examples of specific stores that agree?
would they then at least take a check? 3% is probably enough, but I still think it is a pain to have to carry/deal with that kind of cash.
Like I said, NO I AM NOT paying 2-3% more, because my price is not lower IF I PAID CASH.
Plus, I am getting 2% cash back, so I'm actually paying LESS than your theoretical nobody-pays-credit-cards rate.
Well, the only thing I'm "making" off my own transactions is the cash back, but don't tell the credit card companies this, I'd still do it without the cash back.. ESPECIALLY if I can do it with Apple Pay.

HAHAHAHA!!!!
Wow, I love it when the brain misreads/"fixes" something _over and over_.

Again, can you give specific examples (with citations of where they were promoted/promised)?
