Parent AC basically fixes the race inaccuracy in the GP post.
Parents who just don't give a shit cross all race-related boundaries. I suspect it lines up more with economics than race, but there's a lot of don't-give-a-shit parenting all over the place. Having lived in several, fairly diverse, areas of the US I can see how some places it appears to align with race. Overall though, yeah.
Again - liability for what? Since a take down is not a court filing, it can include anything that is not defamatory or criminally coercive. There does not appear to be any recourse is civil law for a specious take down notice.
This means there will be a sentence added to the boilerplate which indicates that the filer has duly considered the material to be infringing, without apparent justifiable fair use present as part of the infringing work.
I doubt that it's facebook, or they've got some pretty weird settings (maybe they're on it all the time and have auto video on). I leave facebook running 24/7 and my usage is in the 1.5-2GB range in a month - and I'm on youtube/dropbox quite a bit for streaming music and videos, and have three emails which automatically sync. Even if FB was half of my usage, which I sincerely doubt, it would be 1 MB an hour.
Apple has been Google-esque in their AppleTV beta device they released so many years ago. It's cool, it's slick, and it's useful...but it has been essentially abandoned with no development and no universal content.
No storage? NBD. Nothing has/needs storage these days except for those with poor internet connections. If you think Apple cares about you, you will be sorely disappointed. Yes, I've been in slow-internet hell and, yes, it sucks. It won't get better. Streaming is where everything is going. And you can avoid that entirely with a computer running iTunes - the ATV can bring up everything in an iTunes library. Soon, Plex will come, and it will make easy, agnostic media service available to everyone.
2k v 4k - again, give me a break. 99.999% of installed TVs are lower than 2k. In two years, ATV will be 4k (if it's still alive) and it won't matter.
The ATV is still the smoothest, most responsive interface for a set top box out there. I have no less than 4 STB interfaces, and the ATV is - hands down - the best. In fact, it's so smooth and reliable I'd say that the next one is probably ranked #3.
What does it need? (1) Apps - let people build apps! and now that's happening (2) Content - Apple needs to take is fat ass filled with cash and dutch oven the industry until it goes full-on a la carte programming. There will be free channels, I'm sure, but the pay-to-play for *all* the premiums is what will crack the industry. ESPN (*,2,3,U,...), A&E, NFL (and I mean ST, not their shitty "network"), SHO, HBO, HLN (HipsterLifeNetwork). Buy a day, a week, a month, or a subscription through the iTMS. That's your killer app. Not gaming.
If you think this is more complicated, you're doing it wrong. Android pay is a single purpose app for commercial transactions: loyalty and CC payments made at a POS machine. Wallet will be the paypal-esque app for sending money between private parties using pre-loaded funds (aka cash) that resides in your Google Wallet account. It actually makes more sense this way and, as someone who does not like linking an account with *my* money to an online payment system, much more secure.
As for dropping the goog, what you do is your business. Google is a business too. They drop/abandon/kill projects which don't make them money and don't appear to have the usage/configuration to make them money in the future. I guarantee it's not arbitrary.
Yeah - any iTunes library worked. Music, Movies, Photos - any content you could load onto a machine. A $150 headless win machine could do it.
The only problem was auto-loading of content. I use sabnzbd/usenet to load serial content (TV shows), and that doesn't play well with iTunes. Also, I can get Plex served when I'm not at home and iTunes isn't good at that either.
And about too fucking late. With A-Fire and Roku being 1/2 the cost and Chromecast being 1/3 the cost of the cheaper v3, and not requiring a secure cert hack and hijack of another app, or jailbreaking of an old model, I've put them on all the other TVs.
Apple needs to bring more to the party. Like a la carte cable channels. That would be "One More Thing..." that would make me drop the cash.
There's a reason so many are "stuck" using Windows, no matter how onerous Microsoft gets (or OSX, no matter how walled garden Apple is) - some industry standard software simply doesn't run on other systems. Compared to the cost of someone to do the work for you, buying a dedicated Windows machine and the software to run it is less than a single edit session.
Or, as they say, use a clapperboard and do it yourself.
Its only a good deal if you upgrade every year, and you would have bought Applecare.
For most of us, we upgrade when the carrier subsidizes, which effectively means once every 2 years. If we extend that to the non-subsidized world, it's $550, less the $200 you get selling your old phone, divided by two years, or $350. That's $300/year cheaper.
People may find value in spending twice as much for a new phone each year. They might find value in having Applecare. But there is a direct cost for having those things.
It could get worse...it depends on whether the Surface Pro 4 reveal in October reveals just "meh" or something really fabulous. Because, honestly, if I'm going to drop north of $1000 on a device, if there's one out there with a 500+GB on onboard storage, a full OS, display port that lets me connect to multiple 4k monitors, a USB 3 port (maybe even a 3.1/C), uSD, a pen, and a nice docking station, it's not going to be a contest.
God, I hope not. It's what I hate about my current convertable (16:9). Unless you're watching a movie, 16:9 sucks. It's too wide in landscape and too tall in portrait (even my 15" tablet with near-legal size area was awkward).
4:3 is fine. 3:2 is fine. I'm a bit surprised they haven't gone to 1.41:1 - the same as A(n) sized paper.
Which is great and all. But until they upgrade their iOS stable of apps to do *everything* that the desktop applications do, you're still going to be stuck with having to do some editing back on the laptop or desktop machine.
I have an ipad; i used to have an iPhone. I've tried the tagalong Lightroom and Photoshop apps from Adobe, and the AutoDesk apps too (I'm in the Architecture field). They're nice, and you can do some basic adjustments in the field. But there are some things you cannot do in the app, so no matter how much I do on an iPad Pro I will still have to finish my work in the office. More importantly, it means that the iPad Pro can't replace anything but an ipad, not an Air or a Surface.
The iPad Pro certainly won't befall the awful death of the Surface RT, though, because of the massive app support system. My question is whether it will start really banging into the limits of a tablet OS (which has to stay a tablet OS for the phones and legacy/std iPads) and die simply because it's too expensive for the limited extras you get.
(I'm actually awaiting the potential October release of Surface Pro 4 information. It could be a massive ho-hum, or I might not be able to throw 2 grand at Microsoft fast enough as it could be a Wacom Cintiq with serious power and svelte lines).
I'm not so sure you'll be floored by the new camera options as compared to, say, the flagship Android phones. Don't get me wrong - it will doubtless be good. Just that we've had 12-15MP cameras, 4k video, high speed video, laser range finding for over a year now. It's nice, you'll like it.
As for the photosite separation...the only way to get photosite separation is to reduce the size of the photosites. The only way to increase pixel count for a fixed sensor size is to reduce the size of photo sites. Every time you reduce the size of a photosite you reduce the dynamic range and maximum sensitivity (sensor technology being the same). You notice that the iPhone 6's claim to fame was the large photosites. You didn't hear anything about that today because they shrunk them to do what they did. It's a series of tradeoffs.
As for technology, Apple tends to use Sony sensors, and Sony has a new round of CMOS BSI sensors out. And they're fast. But they're no better than the seonsor - pixel size for pixel size - than the previous sensor generation.
Personally, I'd rather have a more sensitive sensor on the selfy side than the ability to hit the subject with a close range flash. The very existence of a flash intended to fire on a subject which is 3' away is anathema to good photography. Get me a selfy cam with an f/1.2 lens and a noise-free sensor to ISO3200 equivalent and you can keep your screen flash entirely.
It's a streaming device. The only reason to have larger memory is to store and play the housewife games they've added, plus the channel apps. It won't store anything, just as the current ATVs don't store anything. You play off of your laptop/desktop/server with iTunes or (if they get their asses in gear) Plex.
Um, I'm pretty sure surface is one of the bright spots at MS at the moment. Last year they were selling a million a quarter, and revenue year on year is more than doubling in the surface line.
Right now there's nothing out there with the power (real i5/i7, large SSD) and functionality (pressure sensitive digitizer) in as small a package. For perhaps the first time ever, new products are being identified as "a Surface clone", such as the new Lenovo 700 and the iPad Pro.
It's got its flaws, but the v3 lines - both std and pro - aren't having problems moving hardware. The old RT tablets, of course...now that was a flop.

Or it could be taken the opposite way - that management is trying to lead the entire staff of men around by their penises.
I think it's a combination of both, and both are pretty disgusting, tbh.
On second though, forget the blackjack.
Because that would mean the men are kind of stupid, don't you think?
That would be like making a dating site and having practically all the women on it be chat bots. Certainly men aren't stupid enough to fall for that!

Just file there. Though the filing fee will likely cost you more than your overage charge, you can always try.

Accuracy, yes. Comfort, convenience, efficiency, no.
I have a high end convertible tablet, and a mouse is still a faster way to interact with a GUI that also requires arbitrary text input.
Styli are fabulous for certain types of input, but picking and clicking along with a lot of keyboard use isn't one.
