Every single Xbox owner I know that has a Kinect does not use it at all. the games for it suck, even Forza Horizon had support for it but it rarely works right. and if you have windows behind you it fails completely.
The $100 difference does make a difference as well, I know a lot of hardcore console gamers looking at the PS4 instead of the Xbone this time around, and they were Xbox360 hardcore fanboys.
Well the popular "hampster uprising" has not happened, but a lot of the doomsayers are still holding out for it to happen. It has become one of the most desirable outcomes.
Who wouldn't want a cute fuzzy wuzzy supreme leader?
Ubuntu for phones is currently un-useable right now even on decent hardware like the Nexus 4, or are the manufacturers being given something that works and that is actually being withheld from the public and developers?
If they are withholding the working OS from us developers, there will be hell to pay.
there are options for more secure but they fight the hardware hackers instead of embracing them. If they would reach out to the communities and work with them or PAY these groups like OpenWRT to write their firmware they would end up with a better product.
Really? Does this term really have serious traction or is it another blogger term that is being used for page clicks? It's called Video Games, and real players embrace that term.
I suggest you try some of the newer voice control software, it works quite well with really odd accents such as southern and boston. Even Google's voice control works well with "funny accents" so there is really no excuse.
And yes, if you cant control your kids and their screaming is overwhelming the microphone array, not the fault of technology, and you reallydont need to listen to the radio. You need to enjoy the music your spawn is making for you in the back seat..
How cute you brought all your fake friends with you:-) it gives me joy to no end how you fake being multiple people. Please continue, maybe someday your mom will buy you a puter.
What do you expect, he is from Illinois the state and city known for corruption in all their politicians. What kills me is people still think he is doing a good job, if he would have KEPT his promises and was a leader like he acted he was, this would be different. But honestly he acts more like Dick Cheney than Dick Cheney did. I'm waiting for the man to shoot someone in the face.
Honestly this is a major fail waiting to happen. their examples all require you to look at it. Give me a UI that does not need any attention at all or better yet zero eye use.
Oh right, that's a volume KNOB. They work 800X better than even hardware buttons.
Want a decent Car UI? VOICE CONTROL. make it reliable and make it work. a single button on the steering wheel for me to hit, the stereo drops in volume by 80 db and I get a boop tone. I say what I want and it does it. Volume control are the other two buttons on the steering wheel with a 4th.... MUTE.
4 buttons and voice control with 100% voice feedback. THAT is a winning car UI, not some art project.
As a michigan resident I discovered this year that the Democrats have no interest in saving the environment. they wont even shut off the chicago river to keep the damn china carp from infesting the great lakes. Obama himself refuses to let the scientists and the Civil engineers shut it off. by the time they stop their stupid posturing it will be too late.
"by 2020" is too late, way too late to begin to start to talk about things. they need to be talking now not at a date set so that none of the current leaders have to bother with it.
And then just half ass the optics by only looking through them as you grind. dont use modern collimation techniques and you will get the nasty blurry full of chromatic nasty that he had to deal with.
The other problem is that pollution and light pollution is 9000% higher than what he had.
When you get Hulu to replace it, you will notice it has the same amount of commercials. So I just torrent all my TV shows. better quality, no "buffering" and no commercials. I would pay Hulu 2X their subscription rate if they removed the commercials for me. But they have no plans on going commercial free for any reason.
I also turn OFF my cellphone and refuse to even look at email after 5pm. Those that deserve the badge of honour are the ones that have the balls to stand up for themselves and force their employer to not be assholes.
Why 39.2? because I go home 10 minutes early every day but get paid for it anyways. IF they can stand around smoking outside the office 6 times a day on the clock, then I can take a 10 minute "smoke break" at the end of the day.
Only one that works best for it, sadly it's discontinued as it seems that most people are weak waifs that cant carry a 9 inch E reader because they are soooooo heavy.
I wish they would release a Kindle XL-DX that has a display the size of a US Legal piece of paper. but I doubt we will see any useable e-ink readers released as the bulk of sales are for paperback recreational reading and not for professional or education use.
" I *can* prevent you from using pictures I take with you in them, and you *can* also prevent me from using the same pictures."
Not in all instances you can't. I can take photos of you in public and sell them as art or to news publications and you cant do anything about it. Now use your photo to promote a product service or event? That can be stopped but only because it is covered under a law about misrepresentation, not copyright.
As a photographer I own the copyright of any photo I take, even under contract, because I make sure that is still in there unless they pay my fee for purchasing the copyright.. and that is REALLY expensive.

Wierd. My mayo is from eggs, oil and lemon juice. Vinegar? Eeew that has to taste nasty.
only for kids. Breakfast is STEAK.

Loser boy is back! Hi loser boy! you still trying to pass yourself off as a "programmer"?

He is trying to do the impossible and doesnt want to tell the customer, "yeah, this is not Hollywood. That doesnt exist."
several Xenon strobes firing constantly.
Because what you are asking for is impossible unless you make a strobing super intensity light to overwhelm the cameras optics.
So just run a script to purge the DNS cache every 10 minutes. Solves the problem.
My answer is to electrify the whole river to kill the damn things. Why are we not trapping and eradicating them?

I can build a crude telescope in my garage using the EXACT techniques he used. It's not hard.

Put it on an orbital weapons platform, then hold the moon for ransom of ......1 Million Dollars....
Nevermind it cost 22.4 Billion to get the platform launched..
He will not see it until they hook up electrodes to his nuts. And even then I doubt it.

AWESOME! because I already have 3 other job offers lined up. Good luck replacing me, oh and someone keyed the shit out of your car in the parking lot.
