i've tried to study from materials on the web, but it just doesn't work for me. i need a paper book i can mark pages in, underline stuff with my pencil, carry around, etc. all these reasons aside there is a major reason i can't leave behind dead-tree textbooks but i can't put my finger on it:/

The Price of Amazon
·
· Score: 2, Informative
and this sort of personalized pricing is not happening on amazon. it might start happening some time in the future, but right now everybody sees the same price for an item. they may increase or decrease the price suddenly/rapidly, but the change applies to everyone.
I also find browsing jackets easier at a real store -- the computer is better when I already know what I want, but the shelves at a bookstore filter genre just as well as the machine does.
this is completely true. also, when buying a textbook/reference book, its a lot easier to skim through a physical book to check if it has the topics you want than play awkwardly with the digital "look inside" thingies.
I'm sure a browser could pose the question with some information the first time the browser is launched to make the preference an explicit user choice.
that's exactly what happens when you install/update ie. it tells you its going to set some settings, and it mentions setting do not track to on. and then you can click yes, or you can customize.
every webcam on every laptop i have seen has a tiny led next to it. if the camera is turned on, the light turns on. if your laptop were watching you all the time, the led would be on all the time. and it isn't. all this crap is just paranoid delusions.
you can't say anything about better graphics. when ps3 was launched everyone was like it's gonna blow away the 360 in graphics fidelity but as it turned out the quality was identical or even worse than xbox 360 in some cases.
people keep bashing sony all the time but it seems to me that they are the only ones with the best technology and they actually listen to the consumers.
All I seem to find on this PS4 DRM, is vague hints that it is better... Where are the specifics? Xbox said it will need to phone home every 24 hours, Sony? Who knows. How hard is it to give us details that we can come after them when the whole hype of DRM is over?
they gave all the details: there is no drm. there is no region locking. there is no internet connection requirement.
And $100 cheaper? How much will the Eye cost if one wants it?
$60, they detailed everything. you'd do much better by trying to actually read the stuff sony has given out and then complain.

4 days uptime is nothing. my win7 laptop regularly stays up for about a month, until the next huge patch tuesday which forces a restart.

you do something the customer will pay extra for.

except windows computers also run UEFI now.
I bet the people at NSA have already included this font in their auto-snoopers.

then you are not in the market for a fucking game console. microsoft and sony couldn't care less about your opinion.
its gonna be a day-one patch that will remove the phone-home requirement. so you analysis is bogus.

yeah sure, you go ahead and play halo and metal gear solid on your linux steam. we'll wait.
except they closed reader :(

i'm pretty sure all those are just limitations of ios.
looks like its time for another payment from Microsoft!
zero drm? all others i understand a pc can provide.
I will probably get a Wii U to play 1st party Nintendo games...
ms and sony are probably targeting a different demographic than the one you belong to, if a wii is going to satisfy your console gaming needs.

thanks. i'm totally unfamiliar with osx.
that's too bad. it doesn't affect me anymore, since i've moved away from android.
it's a bit tangential but what's the difference between maximizing and full-screen? aren't they the same thing, when it comes to program windows?
opera mobile works better, in my limited experience
except ie did it first :/
