I commute into a major US city every day and just today noticed someone reading an actual newspaper on the train. I can't even remember when the last time I saw that. Between me with my book and him with his newspaper, we really stood out among the rest of the passengers. If newspapers and books aren't for commuters, who are they for? And commuters have left them by. Sadly, I think this is an accurate assessment..
More than me, and I'm a lot older than that. Time to stop trying to millennials in a a bucket. People are people and millennials are not a special case.
I dropped Netflix when they wanted to increase my $9 grandfathered plan to $36. They didn't give a crap that I had been a loyal customer since 1992... . So they deserve it. The customer isn't always right, but you have to ease them into your new business model. They don't understand that. The corporate culture there is too arrogant.
The police won't give a shit, most burglary goes unpunished even if you give them evidence.
+1 on that. My house was broken into a couple years ago and my laptop stolen. I had Prey installed, so I was able to give the police a picture of the thief from the laptop camera and the thief's IP address with the street address associated to their account. The response was "That's nice." They never did anything. Later, I even found out the guy's name, what kind of car he drove, and that he was committing other burglaries (I left Prey running for a few weeks after the theft and got all kinds of pics and screen caps). I gave it all to the police. They still did nothing. I gave up and wiped the machine remotely. The guy's probably still out there. At least where I live, the police are not interested in theft not matter how much you evidence you give them.
Final Fantasy VII... Square Enix has remade many of the other entries in the series, why not the most popular one of all? Sequels are nice, but I'd like the original.
It may be the death of expensive cable/satellite services, but free over-the-air ATSC broadcast is the best picture quality you can get in the US right now.
I just bought a rooftop TV antenna and I know many other people who are doing the same. I'd cancel my satellite service if there were an easy and convenient online way to watch the 3 cable channels I'm interested in at a decent resolution.
See how the first words of the article are "SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters)" ? The story comes from the Reuters wire service. Yahoo is just passing it along... .
This submission should have read "Reuters is reporting the release of 'Google Gadgets'".
I have an E* DVR and I can tell you it is not similar to TiVo. The basic functions (pause, record, ffw, rewind, etc) are the same, but all DVRs have those functions and my VCR had them before that. The menu structure and general UI is not TiVO-like.
Last week if you'd asked me who E* ripped off, I would have answered "ReplayTV".
Try an eGO Cycle. It's a a battery-powered cycle that looks more or less like a bike but with a step-through design, uses mostly bike components for easy repairs, rides like a bike and uses bike lanes, but goes 25MPH (range 20 miles). With baskets you can easily get to work and go to the grocery.
They're $1400, and no, I don't work for them.

So just don't install the Roku Channel. There's nothing nefarious here.
50 words at a time. You are so right. Way more convenient. Are you 12?

Not with all the mercury and PCBs floating around in the ocean.
Ah, mercury. Sweetest of the transition metals.

There's also School Tool - http://www.schooltool.org/ .
That story was shown to be "largely bunk":

We should decrease their budget by n, where n is their 2011 budget.
Well, since we're being nitpicky: "alot" isn't a word at all.

'Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently said internet users shouldn't worry about privacy unless they have something to hide.'
This is the same argument conservatives made right before they instituted warrantless wiretaps and body searching old ladies at the airport.

You stay classy, Jack Thompson!

I like PSPad on Windows: http://www.pspad.com/en/
It's not as refined as TextMate (which I use heavily on my Mac) but it's the best Win text editor I've found.
I'm also ready for higher payments!
That means I automatically get them, right?

Apparently that 'nice private school' skimped on spelling, grammar, logic and social studies courses.
Damn. You mean if I'd gone ahead and registered instead of lurking all those months, I could have been an old bearded type?
Oh well.
