Hell, they were just allow toaster ovens a few years ago. You're acting like the people of Cuba have a choice. They don't. They still have a very oppressive communist government. Obama's actions have changed nothing for the Cuban people yet.
So wait, if they are selling phones at full price now, does that mean they have finally switched to GSM? If not, what kind of idiot would pay full price for a phone that is locked to the carrier?
You pay full price for the phone regardless if it's over the length of the contract, up front or part of an early termination agreement.
It's always been easier for me to not print. I don't print all of the time. I forward and reply to emails. I don't print them. I use presentation tools and share the content electronically instead of printing them. I copy and paste information to different screens instead of printing it out and typing it in. (We all know people that still do this)
The only time I print anymore is to sign contracts, and even then I use a digital signature when it's possible.
Hell, the first printer that my wife and I bought together was a HP 1200 LaserJet in October of 2002. I just replaced the factory toner cartridge in 2013 or 2014. That's how little we print at home. That printer saved me hundreds of dollars, if not over a thousand if I had purchased an ink jet printer.
What would make things different is a software architecture change that gets rid of the separate permanent storage layer and makes everything RAM-persistent. That would be kinda strange to imagine.
But isn't the point of restarting the machine to reset it's state? Either from updates or a computer just acting strange?
Other than business corridors, I think street lights should only be placed at intersections. My town cutback on lights starting 20 years ago. It was the right move.
If you even had a basic idea of how the Constitution works, the President's budget is basically for show. Congress is entirely responsible.

Sorry, but you're wrong.
Congress generally begins its budget process once the President submits his budget. The President is required by law to submit a comprehensive federal budget on or before the first Monday in February (31 U.S.C. 1105(a))
Because if they do that the people of the red states won't pay for things like roads and schools, just cool things like NASCAR and shotguns.
Obviously I'm talking about corporate and personal welfare programs. I'm not talking about government infrastructure. I realize the benefit in roads.
I don't think that people realize how much more expensive some goods and services are *beacuse* they are being subsidized. The government rarely seems to pay a correct amount for these things. Plus subsidies drive up demand which drives up costs.
Truckers shouldn't use google maps anyway - they don't provide legal truck routes. There are other applications out there like ALK PC Miler that provides truck routes based on verified truck routes, height and weight limits, etc.
I'm not sure that Google wants to get into that game, at least not providing a free product.
This is why Apple is dead in the enterprise. They don't support standards. Their browser has always sucked. And they're very secretive about product roadmaps.
Sure it affects everyone, but how is this tech/nerd news?
How is this site different from any other site at this point? It used to be unique. It's trying to become something that already exists and ultimately kill the site.
My thoughts exactly. I'm in Iowa. We have co-ops that have spread high speed Internet access all across the state. For those not familiar with Iowa, we are very spread out with many people in rural areas. How in the hell does Massachusetts not have the same? It is a tiny state.
Obviously you're not aware they've been making a secure Android for certain customers for some time now (in partnership with Boeing).
I'm aware of that. BTW, how's that going? Not well.
You're wrong about Android being unsecurable - there are several high-end phone manufacturers that build their own secure Androids, you just won't see them on Best Buy.

I can't tell if the OP is being sarcastic or not. Just like poor people just need to stop being so poor.
There's nothing wrong with being poor. Stop treating the poor like there's something wrong with them.

Then I assume that you don't have a problem with unlimited data plans that aren't unlimited?
Unlimited LTE Data (up to 5GB)
Unlimited means *no* limits. Ever.

This will cause energy prices to rise, which hurts the people with the least amount of money the most.

So what happens when their home system craps out? Can the unit run when they pull AC power from the grid?

He can attempt to mandate all he wants. Congress approves the budgets. And since we all know how well Obama has been submitting his budgets....

How about attempting to end all federal subsidies and let us keep our own money and spend it how we see fit?
How long before DTV's customer service takes a plunge?
and I get my jobs or tasks via smartphone ONLY. I still use a laptop to do most of the work......
I think you misread the summary.
It's not free when you're still paying for it, even if you don't use it.
And no, I'm going to use my personal vehicle to get my tasks done as quickly as possible.
It would still be a useful option for people who don't normally drive trucks -- U-Haul renters, RV drivers, etc.
Sure, but is Google going to do that for free? Will truck renters and RV drivers pay for it? Currently it appears that they don't.

If only there was a way to provide access without running cables....
Oh well.
By definition the middle class doesn't need help from the government. The middle class is self-sufficient.
If you need assistance from the government to make ends meet then you are definitely not middle class.
Mark my words. Internet service will get more expensive because of this. Just like everything else that receives subsidies.
Typical government thinking it can make things cheaper just by waiving a wand...

You mean like the "most secure Android device" that was cracked in less than 5 minutes?
