Netflix already has numerous Disney videos from tv shows to cartoons to Pocahontas, Aristocats, Dumbo, etc and those type movies. My guess is the closer to 2016, the more new content there will be but a large number of Disney related titles are already there.
I submit there is a point at where a device can be too light and thin with the way we need to interact with them. For me, the critiques over the iPhone 5 were right; it is too light. I would fumble that all around, though if it was flexible, perhaps it wouldn't matter but it seems you're just trading one problem for another. (That and call me when batteries become paper thin, let alone electrical contacts that are still good after being flexed a few tens of thousand times.)
Any built in navigation or entertainment is a ripoff, generally speaking.
In-dash nav may be a ripoff sure, but on most vehicles its screen is much larger than a normal stand alone GPS plus it's integrated into the dash. Not great for actual directions (phone or another GPS do better) but very nice in seeing where you are, which side streets go thru, etc. Not sure I could justify it on a new car but I love having it on the car we have over the little GPS device we have in the SUV.
That would take some time to get rid of that many iPad mini's via a back of a van. Likely they have a buyer(s) possibly overseas that's willing to take them as we found on Reddit AMA there are a few countries where Apple cannot sell except through certain middleman channels. I just don't see two guys selling a current version at a gas station/eBay and being able to move all of those without help (in sales).
Although I do know a bunch of CEO's who would love to save handing out bonuses this year and will find a cheap way to compensate...
It's the 100 $/barrel that should raise eyebrows, not the consumer price.
The 40 billion dollar profits that some oil companies have booked should raise eyebrows, not the country that is loosely associated with an oil company.
40B on really low margins? I fail to see the issue except that you don't like big numbers.
The Galaxy S3 (their biggest seller) is selling slightly faster than Apple's biggest seller (the iPhone 4s), in terms of units.
Is that units shipped or units sold. I've seen previously where they each use different terminology so it's not a true comparison. Usually for Android it's units shipped, while with Apple it's units sold.
Not in my state. There were only two people listed to choose for President, no third parties and being scantron, no write in option. I had thought I saw Gary Johnson had gotten on the ballot in almost all the states but for sure wasn't on mine.
A symmetrically-turned pen doesn't have good ergonomics. If you're chasing ergonomics, buy a PenAgain, they really are better. They write just fine, too.
I have one of those as I got it last Christmas. I don't use it because while yes it's comfortable, it's not as easy to write with and I'm much sloppier b/c of it.
While guest access on routers is common, one of the most common brands, Linksys, makes it frustratingly difficult with it's OEM software. If you password protect your main wifi connection, then the guest account will also require a password. You cannot turn off the password for just the guest account. The only way around it is to flash a new OS on it. Not doable by most non-tech people. Very frustrating esp when my devices will sometimes connect to the guest account, so much so I just turned it off.
Does Tomato or DD-WRT even have an option for guest account access?
They've been promising that they will get it if it is funded to an adequate level.
And this is where everyone knows they are full of it. In doing basic research, money/= breakthroughs, it can yes but is not a guarantee. If you just fund me enough I can do "X" where "X" is anything you can dream. " What? I haven't reached it yet? You haven't funded me enough!" It should be funded for other good reasons, but not the one you mentioned.
I'm pretty sure that if you told someone 10 years ago we'd have quad core processors running at over 1GHz with loads of graphics, ram, etc on a smart mobile phone, they'd think why can't you use it as your main computer? In 5-10 years by the time this 48 core would be feasible, desktop computing will have grown/changed as well. I'm not sure our mobile devices will ever be our main computers. A link to them perhaps, but its far easier to offload the work to a remote station than do it all onboard.
So... everybody should "get over it" just because Grizzley9 doesn't mind strangers grabbing his balls in public?
Sorry. That's not good enough in a civilized society.
No TSA has ever "touched my balls" or anyone elses that I personally have seen. That would be abuse and I along with a majority of people would decry such abuse of the system. Abuse should never be tolerated. Don't try and make fringe abuse cases normative, they lessen the impact of your argument to the educated.
Why go anywhere since you have air, tv, and food right here? Trees? Pssha, I've got 3 trees in my yard and I can seen pics of near anything on the net.
As an american, I strongly suggest that anyone from outside to not visit us. This is a Police State, we like tromping on freedoms here. and they treat non citizens WORSE than citizens.
Your money is better spent in a Free country like Canada.
Yeah cause in Canada we don't go through security to get on planes...oh wait... And I'm pretty sure every country treat non-citizens "worse" than citizens.
Ditto, what possible reason is there to visit the US anymore?
Anymore? The same as there always has been. How does going through a security checkpoint to get on a plane have anything to do with our tourist attractions?
. the government knows that most people with a 'plane to catch will choose 20 seconds of utter humiliation over a 30-minute confrontation with big brother.
Exaggerate much? I've been through security and TSA pat downs many times (and of course seen it done many more), all with the utmost professionalism. Not once has it seemed like "utter humiliation" or invasion of some personal liberty. Am I a fringe case? Someone that doesn't know what's really happening? What kind of security is appropriate for an airplane? Admittedly the cockpit door reinforcement was the best thing to happen and the rest is theater but you sound like a nut case when you use such inflammatory language.
So, guys... how's that whole "Let the market decide" argument working out for you? Capitalism works great for non-critical, non-infrastructure goods and services... but when it gets its hands on something everybody needs, it's gonna take you to the cleaners. Every single time.
Need is the subjective word here. Is 3G or Edge not still available at competitive rates? The newest data streaming tech is anything but a critical need. Let alone the implications of having a government run the network. At least now we have the delusional air of privacy around our communications.
As someone that occasionally uses OpenOffice at home and has recommended to friends/family, I'm not sure I got the memo. If I was searching for openoffice today it would point me to the Apache version at the website I've always gone to.
What's the difference? Why is one better than the other?
In the United States, it is a federal crime to even possess (let alone use) a metal detector on Federal Park property. This includes all national parks, historic sites, and some other locations owned by the government.
Several states also ban the possession and use of metal detectors on State-owned property.
Had he found this kind of stash in the US, it most certainly would have been confiscated by government in the name of national treasure or other such nonsense.
If he was on private land in the US, he can do whatever he wants. State/public owned land is quite different obviously and he has no rights to its contents but if private land, it's yours. Obviously we don't have the history here that our EU counterparts do so it's sort of understandable the limitations there are on finds.

Thinner and lighter are always nice

Yeah but who uses them?
Reddit (imgur) and 4chan.

Aww! 4 $/gallon??

You had a choice
Not in my state. There were only two people listed to choose for President, no third parties and being scantron, no write in option. I had thought I saw Gary Johnson had gotten on the ballot in almost all the states but for sure wasn't on mine.

Surely anyone working for the UN qualifies for DIP don't they?
He's only doing what the law states because it suits his interests.
His "interests" are irrelevant. As AG, he should be doing what the law states regardless.

Dear FTC,
Grow a pair, ban robo-calls, and follow through on enforcement. You can send me my check at your convenience.
Signed, Me
but, but, the politicians (that determine our salary and job security) need them! Won't someone please think of the politicians?

What's the difference? Why is one better than the other?
Because your definition of "better" is different than other peoples? A spec list does not a great phone make.
I do fucking CAD/CAM and get paid way less than that!
That's what you get paid, not what you COST the company which is usually around double what they pay you.

What?
Shop owners David Sewell and Mark Becher reported the find, and then joined a search party on the private land where the coins had been discovered.
If he was on private land in the US, he can do whatever he wants. State/public owned land is quite different obviously and he has no rights to its contents but if private land, it's yours. Obviously we don't have the history here that our EU counterparts do so it's sort of understandable the limitations there are on finds.
