All complaints about OS, rooting, browsers, privacy aside... this is a really nice tablet for the price... and this holiday season (or next) it will be a steal.
I'm curious about what their reasoning is behind the throttling.
Does providing the service become less profitable after a certain threshold of usage is reached? (Meaning there is a real cost-per-bit AT&T pays)
Does this throttling preserve the fairness of access for all users because the network could not handle more capacity?
Is it a matter of not wanting this particular service to compete with other AT&T offerings?
Would it defeat a charade of some artificial cost being exploited?
Henceforth using the phrasing "game of _______" will be compulsory when composing the title or subhead of articles pertaining to any subject that rhymes with or shares reasonable consonance to the word "thrones".
Don't eat too much, make sure what you eat isn't junk, and be more active.
Quoted for Truth. And it should be noted that it takes a while to make a lasting difference...long enough for this behavior to become an everyday way of being, and not an exception.
Leave it to the world's largest book seller to combine 1984 and Brave New World into one product.
Personally, I'm holding out for the brain implant from Mozilla.
My personal email was under good control for blocking junk mail via my SpamAssassin filter and local junk box filters, up until around the time the breach was announced. Since then I have been receiving a dozen or so very well crafted spam emails, all text and all formatted in a similar fashion, containing a row or two of lines with a "reference number" "case number" or something along those lines.
And on top of that, if you made oil (or any other energy in general) cost half as much, most consumers and industries would instantly respond by wasting twice as much.
If Google or Facebook can haul in billions in revenues from tracking you across the web, this is the next step and it's wide open. Someone has probably already been working on it.
I believe google has been so busy working on the autonomous car for that very reason too. Inside such a vehicle, one would be a captive audience to their ad service on some level, and definitely subject to their consumer data collecting efforts.
but the fact is that competition forces them to become efficient and sacrifice profit.
Sadly, this is too often accomplished by externalizing costs to the environment and to the general long-term physical health of the population... ultimately putting whatever expenses can be externalized onto the government and tax payers.

I know what you mean... I remember reading headlines about this as far back as 2002...When is it ever going to actually happen?
Is it good, or does it just suck a lot less than Obj-C?
Maybe the teacher should be reprimanded for negligence.

Does the ransomware only work on Windows machines, or can it also affect *NIX/Mac/Android operating systems?

It's hard to imagine how autonomous vehicles can exist safely amongst vehicles driven by inebriated, distracted, careless, or angry humans.

When they ask your name, Have a laugh and just say "call me mindwhip"... they'll get the message.
Is facebook bringing the internet, or just facebook to remote locations?
Why were those vegetables chosen instead of others? Why not radishes, etc?
A plant's heat tolerance is surely a factor, too.
