simmer down, internet. I got this one. from AAA website:
California It is unlawful to drive a motor vehicle equipped with a television receiver, a video monitor, or a television or video screen, or any other similar means of usually displaying a television broadcast if the receiver is located in the vehicle at any point forward of the back of the driver’s seat.
so it's not the san diego PD being google haters or anti-technology, they're just enforcing existing laws about monitors viewable to the driver. nothing to see here.
Wow, now everybody's a hacker these days. It started to go downhill with the whole "lifehacker" meme. perhaps I should be called "garbage hacker" instead of the prior preferred term, "sanitation engineer"
yeah I can't believe that slashdot pulled a story from the daily caller. this is a rag in which all comment wars devolve into accusations that each person is actually a closet democrat. it's like quoting the national enquirer. wake me when it's in a real newspaper.
In that case, how many people are willing to buy and carry a feature phone to make calls on and a 4" tablet to play games on?
the people who don't want to carry two devices can get an iphone. the people who don't want to be locked into an iphone plan can get an ipod touch and two devices. different strokes, different folks.
people who don't want to carry an iphone or an ipod touch that's fine too, they just wouldn't be able to play this imaginary MFi Nintendo controller & proprietary game system.
Because the devices are the same size, then any external accessory fits both the same!
The PC didn't kill consoles for the same reason that smartphones won't - People don't want to screw around with variable configurations and unknown levels of performance and controller compatibility. They want a known-working machine such that they can buy a game, put it in, turn it on, and have it work exactly the same way as it did last time, as it does for everyone else, as the manufacturer intended it to work.
I am less certain than you seem to be that smartphone manufacturers will be unable to adequately address that problem.
Let's say you use a succession of Android phones, and your TV has a ChromeCast attached to it, and some particular bluetooth controller becomes a de-facto standard. The experience begins to approach that of a solid console. If it's also extremely cheap...
(Would I bet on this? No, not with my own money. But I wouldn't bet against it either.)
maybe with apple releasing the MFi controllers, this would enable nintendo to get into the iPhone game. I'm already seeing controllers that essentially insert the phone into an xyab setup. imagine a nintendo-branded iPhone controller with games that only played on that controller. that would be pretty sweet.
I bet it's because everybody is armed! it's like the ultimate concealed carry society. don't mess with anybody, because you never know when you'll encounter a crazy with lethal stopping power. that's what the second amendment is for. from my cold dead hands!
i bet that the RSO needs to keep firm control when everybody around him is armed! I'd be like, what up mofo, I'm pretty sure I can use whatever ammunition I want!

I've always preferred the term "dumpster diver."
for me a more accurate term would be dumpster driver.

i'm pretty sure that ms. parks didn't cause a spontaneous movement. rather, the movement was ready to go, and they chose rosa to make an iconic stand.
who is rose park? is it a korean war thing?
you mean like adam schwarz? that didn't end well.
its also legal for medical people, and generally not enforced for reporters.

Why? Because it's fucking Mario and Zelda on your fucking phone. Fuck yeah. And Mario cart? Just tell me where to pay.
yeah but before the controller wasn't linked directly to any games. the controller guy did X, and hoped that some game people would follow suit.
if Nintendo made the controller plus Mario for the controller, I would be on board. remember the powerglove? the original wii controller.

you can use a steering wheel in gta5?
to be fair, the editors went back and updated the summary, so my question wasn't totally out in left field.
what is dpc
Bricklink does a fairly good job on this particular topic.
what is this, like a lego thing?
The issue we have with cars is that they use too much energy.
who is we? the justice league? the borg?
In Florida, that's up to five years in jail. 10 years automatically if you point the gun at someone.
and yet it's legal to shoot people dead in the street if they "make you feel threatened"?? Only in Florida!

Only black-market resolutions are available (usually violence).
