Yes. So we come back to the obvious answer: price.
Most people don't want to pay $800 for their monitor or their camera. So that makes the market for higher end gear vanishingly small.
There should be enough pros to support either though. The results just won't be very affordable or very widespread. You will still see a dearth of "cooler stuff".
You "can't find it" because you wouldn't be willing to pay for it if you could find it.
If there's money to be made then someone will grab it.
If someone is not grabbing it, that means that there are barriers in the market preventing someone from doing so. Someone wants to sell you that product.
The free market is merely a reflection of liberty as it relates to human greed.
I would add to that hardware that isn't some kind of throwback to the 90s.
How about something that can run Siri by itself and not be dependent on some compute server somewhere?
Tablets are cool and all but they achieve their lower price point because they are using inferior hardware. Hybrid tablet laptops have existed for a long time already. They have just been expensive machines consigned to business.
Except we can point to real harm and real costs. There are real externalities associated with the artificially depressed price of soda and sweeteners in general.
More than anything, this is an attempt by local governments to counteract the fact that the national government is being run for the benefit of large corporations. Those externalities are no longer invisible and people are starting to deal with them.
It's the same as anything else that has the appearance of being cheap because you choose not to look at the big picture.
You can switch to non-cancerous natural alternatives but they are not exactly cheap.
However, all of the artificial sugar substitute end up being far worse than what they're trying to replace. It's just like the nonsense with shortening/margarine and trans fat. It ended up being far worse than what it replaced.
Forget trying to make "vices" less harmful. Just indulge less.
Your psuedo-libertarian screed would be more convincing if the prevalence of sugar in American food products wasn't driven by corporate welfare directed at large corporate agricultural interests.
If a local municipality is taxing "sugar", then it's likely only counteracting the market distortions created by the federal government.
That is a "blob driver" problem that has little to do with nvidia in particular. If it is a problem (which it wasn't in 2010), then it will be equally a problem for ATI or Nvidia.
Things like dealing with hostile TVs, video acceleration, good 3D performance, and CUDA are all good to go.
Plus you don't have the kind of screen corruption issues that you tend to get with ATI.
I worked at a mail order distribution center that played this game. All of their workers were "part time" working just enough hours not to trigger the legal requirement for any sort of benefits.
That's why you actually prepare for the workforce.
There was an article on NPR about something similar. It was whining about how recent high school grads could find nothing but low paying sh*t jobs. Some ivory tower academic was whining about how this is scarring a generation.
It's such nonsense.
People are merely finding out why they should have gone to college or a trade school.
It's still censorship. It's just censorship taken to an extreme.
It's an overkill approach to suppressing anything that might shake people out of their stupor. The government didn't want anyone to start thinking. Of course the populace were pretty indifferent.
It wasn't "the will of the people", it was a heavy handed means of asserting control and suppressing ideas.
Suppressing ideas, even if done very crudely, is what censorship is. The fact that there's a lot of collateral damage doesn't really matter.
Harlequins were destroyed to make sure that copies of On Walden Pond burned with it.
The great irony is the fact that the tech he was objecting too ultimately will ensure that such a future cannot happen. I have more books in my transistor radio/phone than any character in Fahrenheit 451.

Nah. Just use "apt-get remove lemming-trolls"

The beauty of capitalism and the free market is the fact that you can have your pony and the other guy can have his tablet.
I dunno.
Have you ever stopped to actually think what that product description implies? It certainly sounds crude and unweildy.
"all upcoming events"
Sounds like you are better off using something with a decent input device so you can be a little more selective.
I would add to that hardware that isn't some kind of throwback to the 90s.

When did the USA ever not have a stable food supply?
This rationale keeps on getting repeated. It sounds like something being parroted mindlessly like an article of faith or GOP talking points.
If you think it takes a lot, clearly you don't understand any of the math involved.
Sugar subsidies and piss poor math education is a really bad combination.

Having ANY degree still gives you a leg up and gives you access to a wider set of opportunities.
This is something that's always been pretty obvious from the job listings regardless of the decade you want to talk about.
...or he just knows people that paint a less rosey picture.
I do. One of my relatives was tickled pink recently to find another job and flee Walmart.
Walmart "might" pay competitively if you are lucky.
I worked at a mail order distribution center that played this game. All of their workers were "part time" working just enough hours not to trigger the legal requirement for any sort of benefits.
It's not just restricted to fast food.
Once again...
You prepare for the job you want, so that you aren't be forced to take the only job you can get.
That's why you actually prepare for the workforce.

Nope, just ATI drivers.
Nvidia drivers on Linux seem to even be better than the ATI ones for Windows.
You can easily "game" a Wii controller so that you can use it while sitting on your ass. Very little actual motion is required for most activities.
Plus there are buttons.
See adult try to pretend he's bowling. See kid move the wiimote in the least natural but most effective path possible.
The problem with Kinect may be that it's not simple enough and you can't be lazy with it.
He's not really mocking creationists.
For that you need a publication from the Family Research Council.
Ricardo Montalban was a kick ass narrator.
Probably didn't have 1/10th the career of Attenborough but he was still a kick ass narrator.
Some people judge based on the message rather than the messenger.
Gracie does.

Venus was jealous. A woman scorned and all of that.
