Then you haven't used very good LCDs. The color gamut is noticeably inferior next to my 5 year old LCD and is laughable next to my sub $200 LED monitor. Yes, I am talking about the iPad "3". Maybe you are comparing it to the mac displays that are 5 years behind in technology but priced like they are 5 years ahead.
I would never read a book on a nasty glossy screen like that. They should impose sin taxes on these screens to compensate for the higher insurance rates everyone has to pay because of the eye cancer.
Unless you want eye cancer iPads are terrible for reading books. An eReader with an e-Ink display is a million times better. And the "retina display" isn't all that special either. The resolution is good but that is it. The color gamut and contrast are mediocre at best.
Multi-touch applications for painting and arranging photos? You really are going to drag individual photos with your fingers to arrange them or navigate through some other gimmicky interface to arrange your photos? It doesn't feel more natural it feels like inefficient grunt work.
It's corruption. The small businesses get killed by the excessive regulations and the big businesses make deals and get exceptions.
People think they are sticking it to the man when they get all these big regulations passed but all they are doing is the bidding of the evil corporations they claim to be against.
You didn't know if you were supposed to use "you're" or "your" so you went with "you'r".
If you're too lazy to figure it out you should have at least guessed. You would have had a 50% chance of getting it right instead of 0%.
I can't remember the last time there has been a commerce law that weakened big business because it hasn't happened the duration of my life.
Every time more regulation is added it gives the big businesses more power and hurts small businesses and competition. How is that fighting big business?
Trillion dollar bailouts from the government are given to failed big businesses run by overpaid CEOs and/or union workers that are terrible at their job. If government fucked off these would go away and we would have legitimate businesses filling the gaps. Then the people running the big businesses wouldn't have enough influence to corrupt the government.
By giving in to big government you are fueling big business.
The fallacy of two choices
You're saying you are either for government or for big business.
You admit government is corrupted by big business. So by giving more power to government you are giving more power to big business.
The big businesses use their control of the government to snuff out competition from small businesses.
This makes it much easier for the big businesses in power to remain in power leading to 1984. The path we have been on ever since we threw out the constitution which was set in place to prevent it.
I'm a website owner and I don't block ads unless they are annoying.
Even if you don't click the ads you are still giving the ads views which even on systems that say they are "pay per click ads" actually matter to the advertisers and will end up increasing revenue for the site indirectly.
So I never block ads unless they are annoying. If it has sound without me clicking on it I block it, if it has stuff pop-up by me hovering over it I block it, if it flashes like crazy I will block it. I either block it or just leave the site. A site that has bad advertisements typically has bad content.

Trouble At OnLive

But the image quality is still bad because it is compressed.
I don't know about you but I can't stand playing a game with input lag. Those old LCDs with 16 ms response time make games unplayable for me. OnLive's latency is much worse than that.
If you're playing some casual facebook game you probably don't care about input latency, but playing any serious game with fancy graphics having a latency like that is a deal breaker for most people. Especially for multiplayer games.
But if you want to play against me with an input lag along with the regular network lag you get from multiplayer games be my guest.
It isn't really as much of a loss for Adobe as you think. Adobe already has a tool called Edge for creating animations in HTML5.
I haven't really looked into it all but I'm sure the tool is pretty similar to their Flash tools and there are probably things you can use to convert Flash projects to work with their Edge tool.
So now they don't have to maintain Flash on a million different devices, they can just focus on selling their tools.
Same for me. I had a sore back all the time when I had some cheap $200 something leather chair. Since I got my Aeron I haven't had a sore back and it has been several years.
Physics super genius here.
Just get a really long pole that reaches between the two points of communication. Move the pole forward and back for instantaneous communication. No need for FTL anything. You can add more poles or increase the speed of the poles for higher bandwidth.
I question what the actual image quality looks like on both. DirectX has a lot of fancy features that improve the graphics that OpenGL does not. Did they turn off all of these features that improve the graphics for DirectX or add them with their OpenGL version? I highly doubt it.
Also when the frame rate is that high it typically isn't a good test. Create a map with enough detail that the frame rate gets dropped below 60 and compare them there for a real test.
While it would be cool if they could get OpenGL looking as good and working as efficiently as DirectX I wont' believe it until I see proof. This article sounds more like OpenGL propaganda than reality.
Opera web browser has it's own version of this and it works great. I'm sure you can download plug-ins or whatever for other browsers that don't have it built in.
It used to be called the "magic wand" or something a million years ago when they were likely the first browser to implement it but now they just call it "password manager".
When I'm driving I often use gps navigation while streaming internet radio. I have my phone plugged into my car charger but the battery doesn't charge. The battery slowly drains because the phone can't get enough power from the wimpy USB Wattage.
You could probably get a Raspberry Pi or some other super cheap piece of hardware that is faster than your 10 year old Dell and save enough in your power bill to for the upgrade to pay for itself.

If it uses an infrared projector and camera (like kinect) that wouldn't work.

Because with your .05 liter engine you'll be merging into 70 mph traffic at 25 mph.
You must have missed the game where MarineKing defeated a 6 pool going command center first.
In StarCraft 2 my CPU is the bottleneck.
Have someone else take your score. Drunk people always think they are better than they are. I have a lot of experience with this and FPSs.
It may vary by state, but where I'm from any kind of drug can get you a DUI.
Because the lag and image quality sucks.

You just need a really long and hard pole.
