I busted out some old cassettes here in the last year. Big fun. I remember a friend who was a Communications and media major in college, and he had this radio engineer professor, and he made a tape with an example of AUDIO HUMMMMMMM. When I popped in those old cassettes, AUDIO HUM. It's kind of cool when the film shoots out of the Polaroid camera. It's just another generation's fascination with the artifacts of the past.
I'm one of the minority of people who still like radio for music, news, and entertainment, but I don't think I'd spend $175 for a digital FM receiver. I bet Norwegians are switching over to AM,if they listen to radio at all anymore. Do you think they have crazed conservative personalities ranting about the fact they live in a Socialist welfare state there?
Not sure about this line of processors to begin with. Do consumers really care about the thinness and lightness of their laptop that much? It may offer more possibilities to PC makers going forward in terms of the form of the devices they can imagine and create, but look at a new Macbook and a Macbook Air, Core M vs Core i5. You have a drop in performance for the Core M and the weight difference is shedding a mere 0.35 pounds. It seems to me once you hit 2.5 pounds and half an inch thick you are bumping up against a law of diminishing returns. Not sure how cost factors in however, and I have been wrong many times before.
Hey, off topic perhaps, but has anyone notice that the number of Anonymous Coward postings on Slashdot taking pot shots at primarily open source projects seems to have dramatically increased? What's with all the snide comments of people who refuse to get an account? I've read one piece of useful analysis in 6 months on here posted under AC. The rest are just cracks.
Stream most video and Netflix on my Atari 2600. Things look a little blocky and there's alot of frame drops, but it looks okay. Movies look kind of like Frogger or Pac-Man.
Aren't I supposed to be able to scoop one of these up at bargain basement prices and install Linux now. That's how this is supposed to work. Someone inform Microsoft.
Goes in the same category as refusing to enable FM Radio on phones. Well established standard that provides value to the consumer, and helps people on low budget plans and phones who don't want to spend more. In the case of headphones, they'll argue wireless headphones are the better technology and one people will adopt, but some people don't have the money to spend on new headphones. In the case of Radio, they'll argue everything is shifting to the internet, but people who can't afford more data on their plan can save and still get information and music off conventional radio.
Introducing my new app, App Boom Over. App Boom over is an app available on Android and iOS that informs you about new useless apps that are available to download. Never stop downloading new useless apps you don't need with App Boom Over. Set App Boom Over to automatic, and App Boom Over finds new useless apps for information you don't need and could easily obtain by typing into the browser such as the temperature outside, the day of the week, time, how many apps you've downloaded, and...
RAM: you can get 4GB Chromebooks if you want them. The OS is light, so do you even need it?
Storage: We all know Google's game plan here. The cloud.
A powerful processor: See light OS. And most are not ARM based, most are Intel Celeron processors. Is Google subsidizing this?
In other news, the Chinese government projects a massive surge in revenue from "foreign sources." Economists are unclear on the details, but speculate it could lead to increased spending in the second quarter of 2016.

Stole my idea.
Really disturbing to have my thought process laid bare like this.
It still can't hold a candle to Gnome 3.
pull some old browser engine code out of my hat? Presto!
The no .de movement must end. Germans have as much right to a domain on the internet as any other country has.

Ah, a corporate reorganization story on Slashdot, my least favortite stories of all.

Translation: Tor has back doors in its services.
Could Microsoft make a special version of Windows 10 to comply with French or even EU regulators?
Are retro Nintendo games available from their network on their current hardware? I guess $60 is cheaper than a used Wii?

This will be illegal in the new order.

When people discuss Opera, they always bring up the features they introduced that are a part of all browsers now; will this be one more?
First they take my dish TV out last weekend during the playoffs, now they attack the space station.

One star. Decent aim, but poor customer service.
