I liked my work x230 so much I bought an x230 for myself. If it can't do the things you want it's good you didn't buy one, but that doesn't mean it's "worse".
Or, perhaps, sitting down with your users and discussing with them how to surf intelligently and safely.
It's time people stopped giving this answer. The problem is worse than "be safe" (or "pull out" to use a car backseat analogy).
A few months ago in a known developer forum a known dev gave a link to his legit project on github. I knew what github was having seen it referenced by many devs to their projects also in other forums but I had never visited. I clicked on his link and github opened and my A/V immediately stopped a blackhole exploit attempt. I verified his link wasn't funky and because my A/V was tripped it was either a known legit threat or a false positive. So I tried to recreate it by visiting his project a number of ways (no big deal if I get nailed, I'll just wipe my system and restore an image) but I could not reproduce it.
So in the context our comments here was I surfing intelligently and safely? If not, how could you have taught me to not do what I did? I'm posting non-A/C because this isn't a dick question. A few years a go a work buddy got zapped going to Drudge Report (he did not click an ad, he simply opened the site to test connectivity) and they reimaged his laptop. The premise is that someone is going to be wreckless and be infected if you don't have a discussion with them, so what do you tell them? I want to see if the guidance given would have caused me to not follow that link. And since I can't mod, if someone replies "Don't go to github" I expect someone to mod it funny.
Really? Perhaps you should let the Home Depot and Big Lots know this down in the Wesley Chapel area. Damn for that bit of reality coming at you huh?
The Wesley Chapel Home Depot has EcoSmart 40W equiv. for $9.97. Since it sounds like you don't live in the States I'll mention that different stores have different stock and a Central Florida town of 44,000 should not be expected to have a wide selection. Did you go into Tampa? They have a few more selections available including a 60W equiv. all for under $10. Unfortunately, Home Depot is big on "ship to store" right now. And I've gone to mine and they've been out of stock. Sorry if any of that reality bounced back to you.
And to clarify, Philips Hue bulbs don't use WiFi at all. The Hue bridge uses ethernet to connect to your network (and Internet if you don't block it). WiFi is used by the iOS/Android/whatever device to control the lights locally. If WiFi isn't available you can still control them via a wireless connection to the Internet.
I'll worry about that when the Oscars are in my livingroom. The color changing LEDs will produce any temperature or hue you want and white ones are up to 100 watts.
I don't mean this to sound cranky, but if you care about power consumption then using 9 watts instead of 60 whenever your light is on (no matter how long it's on) is prudent. But I do understand the reasoning of "my car only gets 5 miles to the gallon but I only drive it one mile a day".
The Philips Hue bub addresses a lot of those concerns. Another nice thing about them is you can intentionally change the color of the room. At my Home Depot they have four different temperature lights next to each other and it's interesting to see how much difference there is on objects illuminated by them.
I may not understand the context of your comment, but the Phillips Hue bridge does not use bluetooth and zigbee is not bluetooth. Let me know how much of a whoosh I deserve.
If you only consider energy cost, the quick answer is "yes" (and LEDs are slightly more efficient). LEDs have other benefits that make them much more attactive, e.g., suitable for applications where CFL are not, color temperature, light distribution pattern, etc.
No, your investment strategy is sound. They will last longer than 5800 hours so you eventually come out ahead. In fact, they're probably rated for 50,000 hours. But before I decide which grandchild gets mine,:) during winter the lights in my home's common area are on for more than 3 hours a day. Assuming 8 hours a day is just over 17 years and break even becomes less than 2 years. It's also nice to see the porch light using less than 10 watts.
I wish those had been at Home Depot when I bough a bunch of LED bulbs. Does the yellow visible inside mean that they are using remote phosphors like the Philips Ambients? If so these are a winner.
I also tried CFLs and went back to incandescent. Last year when good quality LED bulbs became commonplace I got over my sticker-shock and bought a bunch of LEDs. I appreciate that when a kid leaves a light on it's only using 9 watts instead of 60. Folks don't realize LED bulbs pay for themselves in about two years and last about 10 so the upfront cost shouldn't be a consideration. Even with the Phillips Hue at US$59 will more than pay for itself in energy savings before it stops working.
I have Comcast Internet and basic cable. Basic cable costs me $15/month. If I cancelled it and went with Internet only, my Internet price would go up $15/month. Since the cost is the same for those two options I obviously included basic cable.
I would rather someone with real knowledge spend some time with the "300 resumes" than someone who thinks Microsoft Office is high tech sift through and let good candidates hit the trash because they have missed on check mark on the form.
I hope you are as understanding when you lose a bazillion dollars because that new hire missed a check mark on a contract.
The "vague" warning on Office 2008 or earlier is below. The default is do not allow content to play. It's inline with other generic warnings so let's try to keep the FUD to a minimum.
Also, Office 2010 has a Protected Mode sandbox. If it's from the Internet or Untrusted Zone the Protected View feature prevents it from running by default.

Selling it as a phone that combines the security and safety of an enterprise phone with the features an fun of a "home" phone is the right approach. But they're still going to have to prove themselves on both fronts. And the clock is definitely ticking.
I don't think it's too late for them, but it's definitely the 11th hour.
iOS and Android already have this so what's going to make it stand out?
Yeah, I bought Belkin's high end routers for my home and fought them every step of the way, replacing a new router with a newer router just to get it to work. I finally bought a Time Capsule and everything's worked since.
I was thinking the same thing - yellow plastic glasses. The website is mostly videos with breathless explainations, disbelieving headshaking at what they've discovered, and questionable claims. The lenses are made from DIAMIX which apparently has no definition outside of their website. Personally I'm disappointed they aren't made of Diamondium.
I'm wondering how you figure adding 10% grey (don't you mean 10% black?) increases contrast. Both highlights and shadows become darker. To increase contrast, you'd need to lighten the highlights and darken the shadows. If anything, it decreases contrast because it doesn't get blacker than black. Try wearing 90% black sunglasses and see how much the contrast increases.

25% of the original power usage is still a big win.

Correct. Their primary concern is to *not* have a functioning Internet.
It had better be at least 12 parsecs because the last I read Harrison Ford for whatever reason was DONE with Star Wars and Han Solo.
