The number had dropped as people started streaming, but streaming also is taking from uncounted radio.
It'll be interesting to see how the numbers compare to 15 years ago, but it will be a dramatic bump from the last couple of years, as paying customers were not getting counted. 1500 streams is probably more listening than a typcical album purchase used to get, but with what are essentially radio listens in the mix too, I suspect a slight increase.
I actually like the way I hover an app icon on the taskbar and get thumbnails, and then I can hover the thumbnails and it hides all other windows and shows the app.
I can cruise through 7 different explorer windows in a matter of seconds, click when I find the one I want, and it pops to the front with me knowing exactly where it will be.
I was skeptical based on descriptions, but I find it awesome otherwise.
I've personally never been an alt or windows tabber type.
As a T-Mobile user, I can say I have better speed than my comcast account in most of my area, and I used it to watch Netflix when traveling.
Now I even use it as a hotspot to watch 0 rated Netflix (or hulu ) on a laptop where it often out performs shitty hotel WiFi.
Additionally, though I've always had unlimited data, I have been worried that of I regularly break 20gb there may be issues, with binge on I'm less so.
Note, theyjnever complaigned about my data, but I've been worried.
Or, it's because Tmobile wanted to let their customers stream as much as they wanted as a selling point, and they had to do it in a neutral way because of the law.
I personally think that BingeOn is 1) network neutral 2) proof that all of the complaints about "innovating" services that the other providers said wouldn't be possible with net nuetrality was a bunch of bullshit.
But, if BingeOn in not network neutral, I'm left, as a consumer, believing that maybe the big corps were correct, and network neutrality is going to hurt me as a consumer.
They aren't though, if a server doesn't give up lower quality video for slow connections it doesn't work at all, and of you want to download a video for later viewing using your 30+mbps, its going to take 20 times longer.
Look at my other posts, I think it's a great policy, but honestly, it's a seperate feature from BingeOn, and it's not very prominently stated.
It's an option I'd turn on if I had a metered connection even. But it is not really part of providing zero metered traffic.
I still think this is a minor quibble, and the mention of it could very well arguably make it a consumer choice, and not non-neutral, but it's weird that they were sneaky about it.
they also tell you they're optimizing video so that you use less data (in reality they're throttling and counting on the provider to optimize), but it's not totally sneaky, only like 50%.
The throttling of other video to extend data usage should be: 1) optional and/or 2) explaioned closer.
the small print, we also optimize other video services so you can stream more of them too (or however it was phrased) was not prominent enough to be right IMO, but certainly I would think meets the legal threshold of this is a consumer making the choice, which I think would count as neutral.
If an open access (for providers) program allows consumers to get zero rated content violates neutrality, as a consumer, I may need to change my stance on this.
Right apology letters to my senators and representatives and ask them to work on this issue with the lobbyists.
This isn't like Comcast streaming On Demand being zero rated while my Netflix isn't, and Netflix isn't allowed in on it, this is Carriers and Producers coming together to give consumers an option for zero rated content. Producers can sign up with very little cost or penalty.
Facebook treated mobile like a joke, completely ignored it, then realized they were wrong.
Very quickly they became one of the companies best at monetizing mobile. They've also found a pretty good way to sell add space that isn't too annoying.
They've gone fromna way to find friends in college to an address book of all of the people in your life with stupid news, jokes, and photos mixed in.
I actually think Facebook is fairly adaptable, and actively trying to stay ahead of the competition.
The fact that he used to be a democrate makes him not a republican now?
He has suport of 1/3 of republicans, significantly more than any other candidate for president.
He may not be conservative, but he is most certainly republican. Perhaps the party itself has become less conservative with the focus on morality it has really focused on in the last few decades.
I guess I can stop recommending Nests around here, as that's basically why I purchased the Nest, and it has been kind of glitchy, and has some other stupidity too (for example, I can't access my usage history without searching my email, which is kind of stupid, they track all of the data, why not let me see my usage year on year with daily highs and lows?)
My issue with my last house what that it wouldn't cut off soon enough.
If I set the temp for 68 in the morning, and 65 overnight, it'd overshoot to 70+ depending on the weather conditions outside (aside from having to manually program heat up times).
It sounds like newer systems may have this under control, but the reason I purchased the nest was primarily for the "true radiant" setting. The ability to remotely control I thought was stupid, but I actually use that a good bit too.
I understand a modern house would also solve some of these problems (forced air heats quicker and doesn't overshoot, decent insulation makes outside weather less relevant).
The got a nest specifically for its self learning about radiators.
I can't imagine ever using a traditional thermostat in a house with radiators again.
Though, there's no reason it needs to be connected (though it's nice being able to kick on the heat hours before I'm home, if it's cold out, and the house is 60, it's not unreasonable for it to take 6 or so hours to get to 65, maybe more even.)
Does my honneywell programmable thermostat learn that my radiators take x number of hours to get 4 degrees when it's y tempursture outside, or x+1 hours when it's y-5 outside?
I purchased a nest for that reason specifically. Also, being able to start my heat six hours before I get home is nice if I'm away for a few days. It also knows when I set it to 67 when it is 62 in the house, cut off the boiler at about 64. It learned all this on its own. My last thermostat allowed me to hand enter some of these things, but it never really worked. There's no reason a self contained thermostat can't have those features, but they didn't when I got my house a few years ago.

Communism, or embargoes?
And based on my not so classic American car ('79 ford Granada), you can fit pretty much any engine under there.

I think 2007.
Ubuntu 7.04 (or 7.10 I forget) was the perfect desktop for me.
either 7.10 or 8.04 introduced an issue where disk activity destroyed responsiveness (one that my be finally fixed with the new kernel queue?
I have up on using Linux for anything but a server shortly after (that and really liking Windows 7 window management).
until at least the next story...
I suspect they hinder emergency vehicles enough to cause more deaths than loves saved.
Speed bumps do this already, and this tech seems it would do so more.
Older than your examples even. There were some germanic translations very early in the Church.
A Bishop in 3-4 hundred CE translated the old testiment.
There was also a similarly old translation of the new testiment that also updated to a germanic setting.
This was after early missionaries desired poorly using more agrressove tacticts.
The second wave of missionaries into the germanic areas are why so much of the celebrations in the west are germanic in root.

I somewhat agree with this on principal.
The throttling of other video to extend data usage should be:
1) optional
and/or
2) explaioned closer.
the small print, we also optimize other video services so you can stream more of them too (or however it was phrased) was not prominent enough to be right IMO, but certainly I would think meets the legal threshold of this is a consumer making the choice, which I think would count as neutral.
This is what I'm wondering too.

Everybody I know checks itemized vs standard deduction, and goes with whichever gets them more money.
They also pay non-home loans first whatever the interest because of deductible interest.
Oh, home equity? lets use that to buy a car.
I'm not convinced that normal middle class people don't minimize the taxes they pay.
This is setting aside the fact that most contractors under-report income.
Though the source could be stolen, it would prevent accidental leakage of the source.
Seems a reasonable compromise.

In reality, Nest should have done that.
There safe min temp should be set with a physical tilt for mechanical switch.
It is powered by the thermostat line. And has a battery for a few days.

Well sized radiators/boilers have a lot of lag.
Does a monthly rebooting mean I can control the light from bed?
Set it low to read, and then off for sleep?
Can I do that even if I lay out my room different than the builder of the hour a century ago ?
Without rewiring?
Seems like a fair trade to me.
