Just remember that the Nook Color is wifi only, has no camera, and no microphone unless you use bluetooth. And as it stands right now, the bluetooth connection has a VERY limited range. Also, the mSD card you get can make or break whether or not it is stable. Your best bet is with a Sandisk class 2 or class 4 mSD card. Higher class cards lead to instability and force closes, and other brand cards can be hit-or-miss.
...which has a grammatical error in it's explanation...
BZZZZT Game over, thanks for playing.;-)
The "apostrophe - s" there shows possession. If the explanation belonged to John, we would say "John's explanation". Here I was using the informal "it" to refer to the company or product, hence "it's explanation" as the explanation belonged to it.
Wrong. It's is a contraction for it is or it has. Its is a possessive pronoun meaning, more or less, of it or belonging to it.
Users should be free to download any app from any website, and install it on their Macs or PC or Phones.
Where do you think botnets come from? Users who download and install software from websites that they shouldn't but they aren't smart enough to know the difference, or skilled enough to notice the data usage spikes.
You really don't want that kind of power on limited bandwidth cell networks. Remember the average person is an idiot.
Yeah, just look at all of those Windows phones before WP7, and all of those Android phones just overrun with botnets/maleware.
Oh, wait...
Google. No really, I use it often when I know what I have but not what I want to make. Just search ingredient A + ingredient B recipe, and see what looks good.
Well, you started out fairly well reasoned, but once you called high bandwidth users "freeloaders", you lost any credibility you had.
They are not "freeloading", they are using what they paid for. Just because they use more than most does not make them "freeloaders".
While I don't have the numbers, Netflix streaming really doesn't kill much of your cap. You'd have to be using Netflix as a replacement for CATV to have to worry about going over your cap.
That, my friends, is a load of horseshit.
You can buy a comparable Windows/Linux machine for about half that of a Macbook. If you don't have your head up your ass, and half-way paid attention during your intro to computers course in high school, you'll have no more problems with one over the other.
I've been a Netflix subscriber since 2005 and I can count on my fingers (no thumbs!) the number of times I've had to return a movie. And the bulk of those were early on when I had a crappy DVD player. On a whim, I bought a new ($20 cheapo) DVD player instead of mailing the "bad" movie back and my failures dramatically reduced. Like from 5 in a year to 2 in the past 5 years.
Granted, I'm on the "1 at a time" plan but I almost always mail back right away so end up with 8-12 a month. That's 100 a year at least, so under 1% failure rate.
I'm on four at a time (over 400 a year) and I agree, I rarely get a dud. I get shorted a disc because the front got ripped off and the disc was returned more often than I get a disc that won't play.
Ahh, yeah. Over the air. Funny how I had forgotten it was possible to get TV that way:)
You know that doesn't work for everyone, right?
I live in a pretty rural area. In the analog days, we were able to pick up the OTA channels from two major cities. That meant we two ABCs, two NBCs, etc...
Since the digital switch, we are just outside both of those broadcasting areas. No OTA for us. And since the only cable company in town closed shop and left last year, our only way to get TV is DISH / DIRECTV.
I'm one of the few lucky ones in town that can get DSL. Luckily, a 1.5 Mbps connection will pull down decent streams from most sites (even HD Netflix streaming), but a large amount of people that live here are still stuck with dial-up.
Just because your husband is genetically inferior doesn't mean I should have to snuff out my smoke because he's around.
Oh, and as far as I know, Ecigs have no second hand smoke. So your precious little snowflake of a husband should be just fine around one of them.
Sure, the nuttier survivalists have lots of guns, but this is America, right? Not only the survivalists have guns. Wouldn't be hard for an angry mob to get sufficiently tooled-up to take out and subsequently rob the stores of any given well-prepared paranoiac...
There's nothing nutty about owning guns. They are simply tools that can be useful in many different situations. I think defending yourself from an angry mob would be one of those situations.
Don't know what your problems have been. I have two Acer laptops in this very room that have been running for 4-5 years, with only one problem on one of them. I used the DVD burner heavily on one of them and had to replace it. But other than that, they have both run like champs for quite some time.
You neither want to carry your phone with you, nor do you want to have to actually walk somewhere to answer it. Are you really that damn lazy? It's a damn phone. Stick it in your pocket and be done with it. Shit, do you need help tying your shoes, too? Get a helmet and go on about your life.

Horse shit. My current laptop has Win 7 Pro installed on a 60 Gb hdd. And it's only about half full.
I don't know what world you live in, but I can't remember the last time I actually saw anyone using a bluetooth headset.
in the middle. Fox backs of from their idiotic lawsuit, and Dish agrees to quit showing those stupid "Tha hoppa!" commercials.

If by delicious, you mean as little taste as possible, then you are correct. Good vodka should be pretty much tasteless.

Well, stop and think about where you're explaining it.

I don't know what world you live in, but I have yet to see a firmware upgrade that "bricks" most of the hardware it is applied to.
You don't know the difference between your and you're, and you are calling someone else stupid? Pot, meet kettle...

That is really sad, but unfortunately too true.
While I don't disagree with you, just let me congratulate you on Godwinning a thread about TPB and the RIAA!
