Wow! here in the USA you dont own anything, not even any LAND you claim to own. you have a Ownership title and a Occupancy permit, but those can be revoked by the local, state, or federal government at any time. Very VERY few people hold a real deed to their property here. The government does not like allowing people to actually own what they buy.
It's a neat idea it just doesnt work.. at least for the payment systems. every time over the past 30 times I have tried it, it takes 50X longer to pay at the register with NFC than whipping out the credit card and swiping. It has to have a constant data connection to the Wallet servers during the transaction, and 99% of all stores have a Cellphone blocking design of being made with all metal roofs and siding.
I've uninstalled Google Wallet because it's a complete failure. If it cant work without a live data connection, it's stillborn.
Depends on the broadcaster. PBS here is 1080i at full bandwidth. ABC here is 720p at 1/2 bandwidth as they also insert another 4 SD channels. CBS around here is also 720p but 3/4 bandwidth as they have only 1 SD channel added...
Everything on CableTV and dish is 720p. it's all compressed heavily as well. at Comcast we smashed every channel down to 1.8Mbps for HD and 890Kbps for SD.
I have months of shows on my 1TB MythTV box. that is a mix of HD and SD content... Mostly HD lately. you can compress the crap out of Cable/Sattelite TV HD and not notice because it's already compressed to hell and back. Each episode of The daily Show in HD is only taking 250mb of space at 720p (it's broadcast in 720p, so any more resolution is a waste) and it looks as good as the live broadcast does.
If you dont go insane and record 90 shows a day, 1 TB holds a little over 2 months of programming.
No. ATSC only or Clear QAM, which as of this week is going away. the FCC is allowing Cable providers to encrypt everything to keep the scumbag customers from recording with unauthorized devices.
Roll the cost into the project. If I need a new Hot Air Rework station I add the cost of that to the next project that needs one. So that $22,500.00 job becomes $25,500.00 The customer still buys it and I get a nice shiny new Tool.
All businesses do this, Why is this not understood by freelance programmers?
For the screen size you are looking at a 720p highly compressed movie weighing in at 500-600 megabytes is very acceptable to most people. 64 gig means you have room for 100 movies. What normal person wants to carry around about 100 movies all the time? I load up MAX 5 of them if I'm on a long flight, and they get replaced with something else on a regular basis.
Now books? I have a thousand books I'll never read on there...
You think they will let you install any apps or place any DRM protected video and audio content on that SD card? Only dirty dirty thieves would want to do that.
Start your bitching about how Microsoft is gouging for the extra SSD storage. ZOMG $100 for another 32 gig, I can buy 32 gig sd cards for $19.00! What a ripoff! ZOMG!

I really wish people had the honesty to name products they find are defective.. You are causing a HUGE dis-service to everyone and yourself by protecting a bad supplier.
Or is Seagate paying you hush money? How do I get in on this? I'd love some hush money!
Pretty much betting your buddy will smack you for saying that. It takes at LEAST 3 hours to modify a template to have it branded for the company or blogger.
you can get Business Class broadband anywhere. I have a T-1 going to my home for my server connection. I have a friend that has 2 of them to his rural home. T-1 technology can go 900X farther over crap copper than DSL or Cable. AND it's not set up to allow someone else to have control over your content.
i love your Mitt Romney style of spewing Lies as if they were fact.....

Wow, because I checked. and Ooh! it charges at 1.5 amps. And so does my co-workers Nexus 7.....
Or are you being silly and assuming again? It has a sticker, so it must be true!
Mostly because roman gold coins were almost as thin as paper. There is no real weight in Gold in a Roman coin.

"Oh really. Then why doesn't it limit my quad core Nexus 7? Are you saying that Apple's power design is bad?"
you are charging your Quad Core nexus 7 at 2 amps? Wierd, because mine doesnt. Where did you get a special nexus 7 that nobody else got?

Bank collapse is not a bad thing. Honestly they should have let the banks collapse here in the USA.

That is an insult to Kangaroos..
The internet is a unruly mob distracted by the latest shiny.

I can do that now. In fact I have had a windows 8 tablet for 6 months now at close to that price point.

Installed Windows 8 beta on it and have been playing for months.

$99.00 a month. Well within the reach of a blogger who is claiming to make money off their blog.

So the SSD in my laptop will sound like a Borderlands Claptrap dying.... Sweet.
I do. Get the refurb back and sell it on ebay for 50% of the going price. you at least get some money back.

You do not want to anger the Google... Poking it with a stick will cause bad things to happen.

Only if he watches me look at porn.... Then not only am I paranoid, but really creeped out.
