My stepdad had an electric powered (!) mechanical adding machine in his basement. I would confuse it by having it try to divide zero by zero, that thing would run for hours trying to figure out the answer.

PARIS — Police stormed a kosher supermarket on the eastern edge of Paris on Friday, killing a gunman linked to the killing of a policewoman and a deadly attack on a French satirical newspaper. Four hostages were feared dead, while others escaped unharmed, according to multiple media reports.
Thanks for submitting this, Ms Hudson, I've just learned from your well linked/. item that the killers are dead, as they need to be. This is "stuff that matters" in our modern world. Innocent people were slaughtered like cattle by these a**holes, real men tracked and stopped them, and here we have idiotic AC's here whining from the safe cover of their mom's basements.
From reading comments in your link, it's for the GT-19300 only, and was buggy. (No notification bar, wifi/ 3G issues). Story author named Ronaldo says they've been fixed, and, "Yes. Developers are working hard to fix all the bugs. The link will be updated every time the developer releases another build."
Or use Opera on a mobile device. Why? Text wrap. On a mobile device it's a godsend. When Chrome has word/text wrap ability, then I might switch over to only Chrome.
In "Dune", to spit onto the ground was considered to be a way of showing ultimate approval. Water being so scarce on the desert planet, you just didn't waste water unless you meant to prove your point by a small spit on the ground. Future generations may look back on us and wonder how we could just waste water so easily.
Firephone will go down as the Atari ET of phones, and didn't I read somewhere that Amazon has got a new phone coming out for 2015? They should stick to what they're good at, people already know how to find Amazon when they want to.
Elon Musk just did an AMA (ask me anything) on Reddit. Here's one Q/A.
Mr Musk,
How will you secure the first stage of the Falcon 9 to the barge when it lands? Gravity or some mechanism?
REPLY
[–]ElonMuskOfficial "
Mostly gravity. The center of gravity is pretty low for the booster, as all the engines and residual propellant is at the bottom.
We are going to weld steel shoes over the landing feet as a precautionary measure." http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/c...
I remember watching it live and seeing icicles hanging off the gantry, never saw that before. Challenger's "First Teacher in Space" launch was being aired in the nation's schools, and after two previous launch attempts were scrubbed, NASA needed some good p.r. In retrospect, perhaps this was a bad idea?

Yep...iTunes and compatible player and you can listen to What you want, When you want, Where you want.
I can't imagine being tied to an internet connection AND an entity on other end of the connection controlling things. Might as well just buy a freaking FM radio.
I've bought music since 8-track, vinyl record, cassette & CD days. MP3s are a God-send! I've ripped all my personnally bought music to MP3, keep it backed up on multiple computers/ usb/ microSD cards/ external hard drives. Also lots of borrowed CD's from the local library. I won't ever need to stream my music for a monthly fee, no reliance on an internet connection, it's just always there.
"iTunes Match debuted on November 14, 2011. It was initially available to US users only.[28] For an annual fee,[29] customers can scan and match tracks in their iTunes music library, including tracks copied from CDs or other sources, with tracks in the iTunes Store, so customers do not have to repurchase said tracks. Customers may download up to 25,000 tracks in 256 kbit/s DRM-free AAC file format that match tracks in any supported audio file formats in customers' iTunes libraries, including ALAC and MP3. Customers also have the choice to keep their original copies stored on their computers or have them replaced by copies from the iTunes Store.[30] Any music not available in the iTunes Store is uploaded for download onto customers' other supported devices and computers; doing this will not take storage from the customers' iCloud's storage allowance. Any such tracks stored in the higher quality lossless audio ALAC, or original uncompressed PCM formats, WAV and AIFF, are transcoded to 256 kbit/s DRM-free AAC format before uploading to the customers' iCloud storage account, leaving the original higher quality local files in their original format.[31]
If a user stops paying for the iTunes Match service, all copies of the DRM-free AAC iTunes Store versions of tracks that have already been downloaded onto any device can be kept,[29][32] whether on iOS devices or computers."
Interesting. Does iTunes provide the meta-tags, which seems to be a common complaint here?
I haven't tried to sync using iTunes for years. with iTunes match all my songs are synced automatically. Any app purchases in iTunes are pushed to my iphone automagically. what reason is there to ask iTunes to sync?
Because people buy music outside of the iTunes store?
"Noah Haders", I see your posts, you seem to be an arch defender of all that is Apple. Do you work for them, or own stock in the company? If not, take off your rose-colored glasses, lots of issues with Apple lately. Apple has failed a lot when it comes to their software.
Fix the MP3 tags on your files & iTunes won't have issues syncing them. Yeah, Apple could fix iTunes to better handle corrupted MP3 tags but so can you.
You shouldn't have to do that. It 'should' just work.
"I had exactly the opposite problem with Android - getting music on to my S3 was a nightmare; after wasting many hours fighting with it, I finally had to buy software to sync over the air, and that never worked all that well..."
I have the S3. Copied all my music to a 64gb card and popped it in, with no issues. My music goes everywhere with me, played through bluetooth, aux jack or cassette adaptor.

OOH, I'm sure a story about cheap SSD's will come up soon, go waste your post there.

You're an idiot. A near miss means that you barely avoided the collision. There's no such thing as a "near hits"
George Carlin would disagree with you.

So Microsoft Band does not work reliably, glad others have paid to test that out, saves me from spending my money.
