Thought VIERA was just part of the big lie. All TV manufacture do it; this just being Panasonic's area. The only thing VIERA has allowed me to do outside the norm is to play BattleField 3 in 3D on my Plasma HDTV.
A Plasma TV they claimed was 600hz, being evenly divisible by 24 (cinema) was just as good as it could get. {The sub field refreshes 10 times a second that x 60 seconds equals 600} they just tossed a Hz to the end of it, could of put MPH at the end and it meant as much. No matter how they word it, it's a 60Hz refresh rate.
This you find when your 3D is running at 30FPS and your just a target.
I have a Denon AVR-1312 (home Theater) with HTML5.1 damn Panasonic doesn't notice it. Supposed to be able to control one with the other.
I knew from the start only Panasonic web cams and WiFi dongles would work with the Panasonic HDTV. I missed the part that said anything extra added. Looking at Panasonic's site, appears they do indeed block what they don't wish connected.
My saving grace was the HDTV cost me $300 at Costco, 1/3 it's cost new.
Good luck with that VIERA, I'm not going to work with it anymore. I'd of never heard of it if not for the give away price of the HDTV.
When I expressed why I was uncomfortable with creating a LinkedIN profile, I was told that LinkedIN wasn't like Facebook where people were posting crap or something like that - with a tone of "WTF is YOUR problem?"

I didn't even need to look at the video. Getting ready for bed; that time you have to think about the day, I thought cr@p it wasn't Budwiser beer but Rainier. -maybe nobody will of noticed:}
Yes it was Rainier Beer which was heard as the gears shifted, even flows better; It didn't sound right typing it out but thought well it did then. The one more people seemed to like around the same time was the swamp and the frogs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
I have a trait if you take the time to notice of messing up something in a post. Not a one is as it was meant to be:} in this case pushing the wrong beer, not only did it play better, I'm from Washington state where Rainier was proud to be from.
Checking Wikipedia Rainier is now a memory - I did look at the video, though it was posted in 2012 it's much older than that, Rainier quit in 1999 and I figure the commercial crated some 10 years earlier, but I've been known to be wrong before:}

Hopefully the open source phones catch up, because right now carrying around a general purpose computing device you have no control over thanks to the carriers strikes me as an astoundingly bad idea.
Having a phone whose OS is either compromised or deliberately acting against you is obviously unhelpful; but unless you control the baseband you are pretty much fucked regardless of the OS. Cell networks are fundamentally pretty hostile in terms of how much control is held by the network or at very low levels in the baseband, rather than where you can actually see it.
Sometimes you just have to hope for the best.
I like having a smart phone (and Android tablet), I was able to root the tablet before it became illegal. The phone calls out from the tablet (cyanogenmod ROM) that has Droid Firewall and permissions denied; the tablet through a router firewall. So no cell towers (if that helps much).
Hiding from NSA is or was never a goal, but from advertisers, while having everything at my disposal all the time, calendar, games, videos, and mostly the camera. I go to a parts store anymore, hold up my camera and say I need this:}.
While a smart phone isn't necessary for it, it's just nice to be able to call anybody at any time, still remember scouting for phone booths at times with little luck.
Sometimes the best isn't always a goal, two things I still won't do with my cell phone (tablet) is transfer money from an open account (money cards ok) or use them for my Email. Email is more prevention (malware) than eves dropping. I expect my Email to arrive as text, reading it in HTML being my decision; still using Forté Agent 1.93 just for that reason (Windows).

playing Angry Birds, mayhaps enraging you (?); you have nobody to blame but yourself.

Do yourself a favor and read it, You'll find it at www.rovio.com.
When I say ToS, I mean everything; Privacy Policy, EULA and any other practice of using your private info - to me the phrase "ToS" covers it all.
I read ToS's and if I disagree with them, refuse to use their services (FaceBook.com) or take measures to block parts I'm able to. www.rovio.com was one of the worst ToS, I'd ever read from a company who's sole purpose is pushing Angry Birds and many other popular on-line applications to collect data for various reasons, One being ADs tailored to you -if you pay for the application or game, it has no effect on the data mined from you, maybe just block an ad or two, others have use for the data mined and www.rovio.com comes across as the company more than able to supply it to them.
When I first read their ToS, Rivo mentioned they send "some information overseas" that was all that was said, what was sent, by what route and just who was overseas all omitted. Apparently www.rovio.com was using data mining practices only allowed somewhere "overseas".
I've just scaned Rivo's ToS for first time in a year or more, was a chore removing all the blocks. I didn't reread it, just a searched for the word overseas, which was missing; I assume redefining it to allow Overseas to be omitting, Last updated: October 2013

The most intelligent person in the world would not stand a chance versus an experienced, serious chess aficionado. Being good at chess not only requires raw intelligence, but also strategic and tactical insights that just can't be developed on the fly no matter how intelligent you are, and especially not during a speed chess match.
I've never lost a game of chess (thank you, thank you) but I pick my games as it takes a lot out of me. Forced into a game by the "barracks chess master" I beat em in two games back to back - left em muttering it's not possible and me with a bad headache.
but all of the pieces required were in play - both play horses, hate those people!!! Can take them just takes longer.
Bill Gates is impressive steal code or whatever he did it. but Chess isn't his game. Leading with a knight sigh was after a quick win but prevented all his other pieces from moving; able to castle, had em on the run from the start. kinda think e castled to show he knew a bit about chess.
Yeah, and out of all the things that could possibly go wrong, you decided to suggest the most blindingly obvious thing that anyone involved in their kind of work would have been testing for since day one.
Your not making sense, this is an article about the Sun and your talking space craft.
Yes, I'm sure that the computational physics that performed the research must have overlooked one of the simplest principles of numerical modelling in performing the research. I'd love to hear your insights into the Rosetta mission. "That's not a comet, that's clearly just a smudge on the lens. They obviously forgot to clean the probe after they made it."
I LOL, there's a difference between adjusting for the present than predicting something millions of years from now when solar dynamics are being updated regularly.
"Birds"? I know it's satellite parlance, but really? Most birds fly, and satellites are constantly falling. Why not just call them satellites?
You can't ask someone to change their "training" each technology has it's nomenclature, To me that was written by someone from Air Force, or not but an expected terminology.
Again in response to the uproar, Google said this was the behaviour they wanted for Chrome and user should manually sign out of each and every website each and every time before closing Chrome.
Well I don't use Chrome, and always sign out of a site, if for nothing else to block a site's cookies (web beacons) from being active while surfing. -cookies are deleted when I shut the browser down.
People should really expect this and disconnect everything when they're done.
All my monitors since the 90's have had a WebCam built in but I didn't buy any for that reason, and have always disabled the webcam by not supplying a USB cable for it's use. Only once have I ever used one and just for a few hours.
