Yes. There's nothing like waking up in the morning and realizing that you accidentally left WiFi turned off, and it's spent the night uploading your entire 12GB of photos and video to the cloud over LTE.
I love it. I get HBO for a couple of months until I exhaust everything in my HBO queue that I've been wanting to see. Then I get Netflix for a couple of months to do the same, then repeat for Hulu, Showtime, etc, then start the cycle all over again.
...and likely make a fortune on the concession stand. I don't understand why more theaters don't do this. I suspect it's because of the rigid fee structure of the film distributors. First-run movies are very expensive, and they pay a fixed price per patron to the studio regardless of what they actually charge the patron.
I think that was parent's point. If the mirrors are misaligned, a driver might think that an obstacle was at 10 o'clock, when it was actually at 11 o'clock causing a collision.
However, I don't think that this would be an impediment to put this into cars. In the past 10 years, there's been a proliferation of driver assist capabilities like backup cameras, radar collision detection, etc. All of which, should a 'misalignment' occur, could result in the driver having an accident and we haven't seen a barrage of lawsuits.
That is not what net neutrality is. None of these are service providers. Net neutrality WOULD be when Comcast starts to throttle (again) traffic for services like Netflix and the upcoming Disney streaming service, or implementing data caps and charging for their bandwidth while bypassing throttles for their own stream service.
The difference is it's easy to be fluid and switch back and forth.Right now, I can pay $15/mo for a couple of months and watch everything new (shows, movies) in the HBO catalog on HBO Now. Then, I can discontinue my subscription and get a subscription to Netflix for a few months and do the same for new programming that I haven't seen there. Then repeat for Hulu, CBS, etc, until there are new items on HBO and start the process all over.
They should be adding these features into the Snipping Tool. It shouldn't be a 2-step process to grab a screen image with the snipping tool, and then paint it into MS Paint to add an arrow or circle something. Snipping Tool only has free draw tools. How hard would it be to add the shapes template to snipping tool (or better yet, just add the screen shot capability to MSPaint and call it a day.
Who cares if a computer is always listening to what we are saying so that, in a closed loop, it can respond to our needs? The creep factor that people feel is mostly irrational. Computers are already reading all of our email and reading all of our files. That's how antivirus and spam filtering works. It's only an issue when the computer or AI is doing something outside the realm of what we are considering acceptable. Having a computer listen to everything that is being said so that it can instantly turn on the lights, or adjust the temperature is fine.
No, but the creationists will point to this as evidence that scientists don't know what they are talking about, and measurements that say the dinosaurs lived millions of years are wrong and they did, in fact, live 5000 years ago.
Because every phone I've had has ultimately gone to the graveyard because of a failed USB port. Thousands of plug-in/unplug cycles, plus the torquing of the connector by the wire wear them out. Screens and batteries are generally replaceable enough, but I don't have the skills to mirco-solder a new USB connector on the motherboard. Granted, my lightening connectors seem to be more robust, and hopefully USB-C will prove to be as well.
My Pixel and my wife's Nexus have been on Nougat for quite a while. Those who care can buy an Android phone that has the latest software. Google is exercising the practice of leading from the front.
For me, it's because the cable company (DirecTV in my case) wants to charge me for each TV that I have hooked up. In my house, that's an extra $30. Plus their rental fee for a DVR. This brings the TV portion of my bill to $80/mo. They do have some online streaming capability, but it stinks. YT TV costs $35 no matter how many TVs I want the capability on, and the service works the same weather I'm on my Chromecast at home, or my tablet away, with the exception of my local broadcast stations. With that all said, i haven't decided if I'm going to keep YT TV at the end of my free month, or stick with Sling.
Not a good comparison. Even in a 4 year old Android device that is stuck on KitKat, it still receives updates for Gmail, Google Play Services, play store, etc. Much of the operating system is modular, and continues to receive automatic updates from Google. On iOS, everything is packaged into a single iOS update.
Must be a regional issue. Here in NJ, my Prime orders consistently come in 2 days, even when day 2 falls on Sunday. The only exception I've had in the past several months was last week when we had a major snow storm, and a couple of items were pushed back a day.

I would presume that they could do fixed wireless as a solution, as well.
That doesn't always work so well, either.
A Fitbit can be paired with any device that can run the app- iPhone, Android, tablet. The point is-you are not stuck in one manufacturers ecosystem.

Wow! Real T-3 lines? What is this, 2003?
Even if Senator Hotair's information was not part of the leak, you can bet that the Senator's son/daughter/sister was.
Building charging stations is easy enough. The delivery infrastructure is already in place. They will keep pace with demand.
...with a mobile device.

Yes. I fumbled that one badly. I can rattle pi off to 20 digits verbally, but apparently my fingers don't talk to my brain the same way my mouth does.

I think a good settlement target would be $3,141,529.39

Menlo Park, NJ, which doesn't exist anymore. It is now called Edison, NJ.
