I would subscribe to magazine more if the E version was not attached to a crashy nasty app AND were less than or even the SAME AS a print subscription.
Cycle World, is about $9.00 a year for a mailed to me subscription, It's $11.99 on the ipad. yeah. BITE ME Cycle World, I'll just torrent the issues from Pirate bay.
I have used a LOT of china smartphones. and they all suck badly. really poor Android installs, really REALLY bad hardware. Innovative ideas, I LOVE the dual sim phones, but they either come with batteries that are garbage or the phone it self has QC issues that make it a swing and a miss.
So unless they have a dual core 1.5ghz Android 4.2 phone for $29.00 unlocked... they will not sell many.
That wants to kill. I can build a gun in less than 3 days from parts at a home improvement store. making black powder is easy. But if I do that, why not just build pipe bombs instead. Those are far more effective and stop guys in ballistic armor.
Only fools think that gun controls will stop the sick minded disturbed people from killing.
A board. I need a rasberry Pi A. I also want a higher horsepower version.. I have been using the A13 based olimex boards that overclock to 1.6ghz nicely (1.8 if you add a heatsink) to do a LOT more than the RasPi's do for higher power projects.
Problem is most are a PITA to set up for the more interesting things. Compiler for a boring PC? easy. but writing code for embedded processors like a Microchip or TI MSP430 are 90X more fun and satisfying than writing yet another twitter client. Setting up those compiling environments are a royal huge PITA. In fact last night I blew 4 hours getting it all set up for the MSP430 on ubuntu, the only distro that has most of what I needed in a repo so I can just apt-get it all. and learned that Ubuntu 12.10 is a steaming pile of advertising riddled crap. so now I need to start again and try debian or slackware and do most of it by hand.
The tools needed all rely on thousands of obscure libraries that are poorly documented as to what is needed. Hell to just compile the openchronos-ng example project for the TI Chronos dev platform I had to hun down 2 obscure Python libs to install.
Why cant this stuff be rolled up in a statically linked blob that makes it easy for the casual guy to download and run?
Recently trying to deal with an open source project. all the C code is a mess of structs within structs. Defining a struct for frisking A and B throwaway variables is insane. readability of code has turned into a nightmare with all this misuse of the languages. yet it's the current "trend".
how about tools on how to teach programmers that being "clever" or what your professors taught you is not always right?
mostly from morons that keep it in their back pocket. What complete idiots think that is the right place for a phone? I was told by one chick that the NExus 4 was junk because she cracked 4 of them. She kept sitting on the freaking phone because she puts it in her back pocket.
work somewhere where you get paid a real wage and you change your mind.
Burger King employees like you are not the real demographic that any manufacturer is aiming for. Nokia,HTC,Samsung all of their top of the line phones are as expensive as a iPhone.
I'm betting you have no brand loyalty either.... Again not the customer they want.
The Google Spec Nexus devices dont geel like cheap crap...
Except the Nexus HSPA+ that did feel like a really really cheap toy, even though it was better than anything made by HTC or the other phone companies up to that date.
Slashdot Mirror
My old studio DAT recorder did not honor them either. Only consumer gear did.
For now. the RIAA is desperately trying to fix that pesky first sale doctrine...
In their eyes, anyone that buys or sells used CD's is a terrorist.
Same on ALL platforms. /nice try turning it into an apple rant, but the Play magazine store is the same.
Certified mail is a lot cheaper and will get his attention faster than someone paying $100 so his personal assistant will see the message.
you have not use any american Smartphones. None exist, There is not one cellphone on this planet you can buy that was made in america.
"CDs are big, bulky, and easily damaged. Why are we still using them?"
Because its the only way to get full quality DRM free music.

Because book publishers are far more interested in raping your wallet right now.

Now our snipers can say "I'm gonna CTL-ALT-Delete you" when they take out a target....
Nicely cherry picked information. too bad it's inaccurate. Come on back with REAL data not from a pundit site.
but your smartknives wont let him cut your kid, so that is perfectly ok.

Record the police with a telephoto lens from far enough away that you can run and lose them when they try to steal your property.
MCM electronics had them in stock from Nov24 to today.. did you really look at all the vendors? 4 days before christmas I bought 2 of them.
"You can't seal it in a wall"
Why? I can seal them in the wall just fine.

You HP elite book is a chinsy toy compared to my laptop....
Try a panasonic Toughbook. I can beat someone to death with it and then continue working after I hose off the blood.

No rim slit their own throat by doing really stupid crap.
1 - not adopting android.
2 - hiring a moron from Microsoft.
That's pretty much it.
You think they have a tech guy on staff? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Most places like this dont have any IT except for some service they call once every 2 months when a nurse fills a computer with popups.
