after watching the galaxy gear launch, i asked myself WTF is the point of a watch? $299 for a smaller screen to do the same thing you do now and still need a phone. WTF is the point of a 5" screen if you're going to keep it in your bag to use the tiny watch all the time?
the Nike stuff on the 5S looked a lot more useful than the galaxy gear
not as good as my father in law's LG LED TV, but its mostly because his has a better CPU to decode the image
i have a 3d blu ray player and an apple TV connected to mine for all the smart TV crap. 3d blu ray players can be had for $99 at best buy with vudu, amazon, cinemanow, porn, pandora, tunein and lots of other services
intel beat AMD decades ago when they decided to concentrate on their production capability
the CPU's have always been about the same and most people don't care about the minor differences. Intel was able to manufacture enough CPU's to meet demand from all the top customers who were afraid to sign with AMD because of their production issues.
you can announce and hype products for months like nvidia does, but revenue is made by selling real manufactured products to customers writing checks. and you need to manufacture tens of millions of chips to make money, something AMD has always had trouble with
all you need is a decoder program. its not like the old days when devices were dumb and we had new physical formats for every music generation. starting with CD's and DVD's every new generation of device plays most of the old formats if not every single one. the price of production drops so its not a big deal for new and faster devices to play old formats
i've lived in NYC since the early 80's and if you were white you were dumb to go to the south bronx or harlem. especially at night. if your kid passes the gifted and talented test to get into accelerated kindergarten, the crappy schools will have spots open in their G&T classes because parents don't want their kids going there
the website has internet only plans from 150GB per month up to a 999GB i'm a cord cutter and stream everything and i'm at less than 200GB most months
WTF do some of you people do that required terabytes of data every month? if you have a family of couch potatoes go outside, read a book. same thing if you torrent 24x7. buy a dvd or blu ray. It's $100 for a 3d blu ray player. DVD's are $10 each. cheaper to buy DVD's or get netflix DVD's than pay your ISP and the electricity charges of having a computer on 24x7. in NYC my electric bill is $65 or so on average. $75 i get pissed off about leaving stuff on
not only is apple's R&D growing, Apple's capital expenses are in the billions of $$$ every year. they are investing huge amounts of money in new manufacturing infrastructure. apple's capital expenses are higher than the profits of most tech companies
that's nothing compared what is involved in getting a TS clearance if you don't know
people i've known said they investigate you at least 15 years back. find all your friends, find lost friends, interview them. people in their 20's said the government talked to all their teachers, neighbors, everyone they ever knew in their life
After having to use cognos and some other IBM products, I don't want anything to do with them
Over priced Crappy documentation Crappy install and config process that seems to break for no reason Mysterious config changes you need to make to get it running that aren't documented anywhere
there has been talk of urban farming. putting greenhouses onto roofs of buildings to grow veggies. since you can't survive on $20k in NYC, these would be perfect for the job
same here planes are complex machines, they break. one time i saw an engine leak oil from my seat. the point is don't expect them to spend $100 for a hotel or whatever if you spent $200 on a flight. that's air travel.
i've had to load 747's full of bags. we threw them on the plane
same here, unless he locked the case to make sure it won't open accidentally it probably opened when they threw it into one of those boxes they use to hold luggage inside the plane
Slashdot Mirror
the scanner is made by a company apple bought 2 years ago that made all the android phone fingerprint scanners

stuff looks a lot better on a 40" or 50" TV than a tiny phone or tablet screen
i use my ipad and iphone to watch in the kitchen, as a secondary set if my wife is hogging the big one or on the train to work.

lesson?
don't eat junk food. crap like soda acidifies your stomach more than it needs to and kills good bacteria
why? you live in Compton or South east LA?
yep, and we know the high tide and full moon is caused by global warming

Knowing apple, new iPhone will kill it in real world performance since nvidia has to pay devs to code for its platform
And Samsung lost because the chip maker paid the royalty. Illegal to charge twice for the same patent

You mean not having the government document your life for the last 20 years is not invasive?

Ill take me SQL server over cognos any day
And then these idiots cry livable streets and other nonsense
Same in NYC. Dummies on feet and bikes do stupid things and when they get hit by a car cry that drivers should drive 5 mph to stop on a dime
just imagine scrolling through a long email on a 1.9" screen
or talking into your hand in public
we will find out when they arrive and the scalpers start selling them on ebay. with the PS3 no one was buying it and they all had to return it
my blu rays play just fine on my TV. what exactly am i missing?

the tweet was in NYC. english time is a few hours of ahead because the earth is curved and we have these things called time zones
