If Android users already have an Android phone (and a monthly bill to go along with it) what sense would it make from a consumer standpoint to have an additional monthly bill for an ancillary device?
Tether the damn tablet to another connection and be done with it. It's not difficult.
I don't doubt any of this, but what I do doubt is its accuracy.
If Jobs said that just this year, he could have simply been playing the FUD game in reverse. His minions already love their iThings, and he wants to make sure they will love the newest iThing, the tablet one. He tells them, "This is what we had planned all along!" and voila! Instant cred.
Again, I'm not necessarily saying this is untrue, just taking it at face value.
Nah, those are those things you sometimes see floating around when you look at a clear blue sky. I had no idea what they were until I got a little older. Now it just pisses me off. Stupid iWorms.
Your eye just knows what to look for. For everyone else, the tonemapping creates an interesting effect. Sure, it's not always realistic, and is mostly overdone, but it's still interesting when you first see it.
If you can compose a shot with this in mind, you can help minimize the effect. That's still shots. Obviously with video it would be impossible to take into account. It tends to be seen more when the tonemapping is overdone, though I was working on one shot that no matter what I did or how subtle the tonemapping channel was, it was still blindingly obvious. The best solution was to try and get it to blend in somehow with the background. In this case it was a very contrasted sky with thick dark clouds at the top and a clear sky with the sunset nearer the horizon. I adjusted the tonemapping to just add some dimension to the dark clouds higher up and it ended up looking okay. Not terrific, just okay... believable to someone who's eye didn't know to look for it.

The moment I saw TFA, my response was, "yeah, but is it better than Cook's Illustrated?"
I got a subscription from my girlfriend's mom a couple years ago after I told her how cool it was while staying at their house. My step-mom also bought me their book for Christmas.
Last Thanksgiving, my girlfriend and I were going to my family's for dinner. We decided to bake pies and used recipes from CI. The two of us, who have never baked a pie from scratch before, turned out the most delicious pies at the dinner, beating out several career homemakers in the process (who are certainly some of the best cooks I know). The secret? Vodka in the crust. It's a very small amount and burns off in the oven, but it's wet so it holds the crust together, but dries it out during baking so that it's nice and flaky and nomnomnom.
Their method for pork schnitzels is also fantastic.
Totally OT, but I remember visiting Anandtech when the kid was still in high school and thinking, wow, what a bright young dude. The last time I was there, however, it seems as though it's nothing but a bunch of what you just mentioned.
OTOH, when I bought my Evo, I read plenty about the poor battery performance. Not a big deal, I thought, as I didn't buy it because I make a lot of calls, and figured that I would have some buffer to work with because so.
Unfortunately, what I didn't necessarily predict, is that I would be using wifi tethering as much as I do. This eats up battery pretty quickly. I bring my netbook to all sorts of places so that I am not tied down with school, and can work on and turn in assignments even when on a fishing trip in Wyoming.
The consequence is that I now bring my USB cable damn near everywhere I go. It is pretty compact and fits in a thigh pocket without issue, but it does give me a sense of still being wired even though I'm not supposed to be. My brother, who also got an Evo after seeing mine (he's an early 20's iThing convert), opted for the macho aftermarket battery for $60 and I have to say, I think I'd like the same. What I'd really like to get, however, is a decent solar charging backup battery I can clip on my backpack so that I always have some extra juice when I need it. And after searching around for the right answer, I've concluded that everything is either a cheapo solution that won't last, or is still quite overpriced.
Ultimately, I always have my portable jump-start/air compressor/radio/roadside hazard light battery thingy that has a USB port to rely on.
If both sides played by the same rules there would be a much different outcome. As it stands, you have to realize, we are fighting people who don't even know what the internet is. If I was in charge, I would saturate their world with digital knowledge. As devoted as they are to a cause, it seems to me they would make great IT drones.
At least you didn't include a FTFY. It is terribly annoying when some stranger assumes they understand your train of thought when they clearly only understand the opposite.
Truth be told, nothing had garnered more insight into Islam than the current wars of ideology, at least as far as the West is concerned.
Do I know more about Islam than I did on that fateful morning in September... of course I do. TBH, I recently transfered to a Jesuit university because it was the most distinguished and accepting of the institutions I was considering. I don't often defend any kind of religion, but in this case, I was impressed by their insight into what I was looking for. A school that accepted me for me (I'm an agnostic theist) and wasn't there to simply make a buck or evangelize.
Yes, I find it humorous that some Taliban soldiers don't actually know what the internet is.
It makes me wonder about all the other modern advancements they are unaware of. Space craft? Aircraft carriers? Oprah? No wonder they are so willing to fight a war against enemies who have such vast amounts of technology at their disposal. If they knew how disadvantaged they were, maybe they would just stop.
My only genuine beef with cyclists is that they tend to operate in tight spaces not specifically designed for such use. A busy two-lane highway with a soft shoulder is not the appropriate place to "go for a ride", and 5pm rush hour is not the appropriate time as well.
But as long as their ass looks great, who cares, right?
Clearly, the problem here is the bicycles. They are a nuisance to society and garner nothing but contempt from the rest of the civilized world. I would support legislation that outlawed bicycle riding on public streets. For first time offenders, they must install one of those nine foot orange flags things on the back of their bike. Second offense, their bike will be impounded and can only be retrieved from the impound lot, which sits at the bottom of a very steep hill. Third offense, the bike is confiscated and mandatory roller blades must be worn by the offender for a period of one year (similar to an ankle monitor).
It's high time we walkers and drivers take back our streets.
especially if they don't include suggesting GMail as a panacea, as I want to have the email text and attachments in my possession.
Yeah, I've used Gmail for getting close to five years now. Does it bother me that they have access to all my stuff? No more than it bothered me that whatever ISP's email I used previously had access to all my stuff.
In my eyes, it's just email, personal email at that. Of course I have sensitive stuff in there, but I'm not going to spend a disproportionate amount of time setting something up myself when I can just use what's already made.
If you want to have everything in your own possession, you could always set up a client to download the messages, and then delete them off Google servers once done. But I understand the paranoia. It's the same thing that keeps me from signing up for a medical marijuana license, I'd just prefer to not have my name on that list.
Yet, it seems that an obvious explanation for at lease some of the Gulf's formation would be due to hurricanes. I would imagine that an immense amount of erosion has occurred due to storms hitting the shoreline over millions of years.
Slashdot Mirror
Quite possibly the most useless link ever.
Anyone watch that video? The guy even says, "I have no idea how to use this" and "there's no internet connection"
Why bother?
Holy cow! Someone gets it!!

Hmm, I wonder how Model T sales figures compare to Ford Pinto's.
Pure quantity isn't necessarily relevant if market saturation is drastically different.

Cool, but that does nothing for the netbook. I am not very electrically savvy, but I'm sure it could be adopted for 12v output, yes?
Totally OT, but I remember visiting Anandtech when the kid was still in high school and thinking, wow, what a bright young dude. The last time I was there, however, it seems as though it's nothing but a bunch of what you just mentioned.
Sorry, though, I don't even have a lawn.

I have a hard time understanding how 1080p is such a great feature on screens 4" or smaller in diameter.
You raise an interesting question, that which will likely be the next big paradigm in smart phones. Circular screens.

Why stop there? Build a robotic Steve Irwin to go around chasing them, Oi!
My joking aside, that clip was pretty funny.

One of those games is a great new MMO. Unfortunately for you, you are now worth 125 points.

You had a perfect opportunity, and you blew it. It should have been:
Obviously you're not a golfer.

I can't help but think these donations and effort could have been directed to people more in need.
Sometimes you have to publicly honor someone who does good things. It helps to motivate the few good people out there to do their own good things.
Put a bathroom less than 10 minutes walk away.
I would hope it would be closer than that.
I am not an expert. I am just a person.
