Alternative theory: Verizon's home growth mobile video is crap that no one wants, thus the usage is so low that they can afford to give the bandwidth away from free.
People with a religious objection to managing encounter problems that require managing. Instead of drawing on secular knowledge, they institute faith-healing which fails. This is taken as proof that their their religious objection is well-founded.
23% of anti-Castro groups are actually fronts for Castro, and the money is used to fund the Cuba government budget. Any surplus is used to subsidize low rum prices.
In what sort of fantasy land are you buying your private insurance where they *don't* reserve the right to deny your procedure or equipment... not even on the basis of their perceived need, but just on whether they can recover the cost before you die?
They sold off a specific ARM-based product, one which doesn't get much press these days. Why do people think this means that Intel doesn't sell *any* ARM-based products?
Since it is impossible to make a product impervious to aggressive jackasses with surpluses of free time in perpetuity, you have just eliminate the possibility of any product existing ever.
At a certain size, you can lo longer directly spend research money fast enough on just your own work. The only way get enough research results is to buy up results where you find them.
I'm not using the P to E to make a judgement about any company good or bad. I'm talking about the analysts that do in a way that whatever the number it is it's bad. If they say a high number is bad and also a low number is bad, either they are bad analysts or it's a bad metric and they are still bad analysts for using it.
When the P to E is high, that means the stock is a bubble and everyone should sell. When the P to E is low, that means there's no confidence in earnings and everyone should sell. Meanwhile they are compared to Facebook's 109 P to E in a completely serious manner.
Still increasing sales of desktop computers means the non-phone side of the business is being ignored.
Moving 8 iPhones for every Windows Phone means the former is dead and the latter is a viable product.
Apple's non-iPhone revenue is comparable to Microsoft's *total* revenue. The impact to Apples revenue due to just currency fluctuations is comparable to Facebook's *total* revenue. Maybe a case could be made that that is a business in decline, but no one seems to be doing so.
a) Typical laptop video chipsets will drive two displays. The laptop does not have to be one of them, you can have two externals with the laptop screen blank. You map be limited by the number of video ports on your laptop, but DisplayPort will daisychain since v1.2.
b) A USB3 dock with DisplayLink will drive additional screens. At work, I have 3 screens: 2 external and the laptop display. When I plug into my dock at home I only have 1 external screen.
"the vast majority of laptops have dropped or are dropping the VGA port in favor smaller options."
Where I work, it was only in the last year when some people started to be given laptops without a VGA port on the chassis, and those are only the toy-sized ones. They don't have any ports in common with any other machines, so they still need a dongle even if they don't use VGA.
Our projector may have 3 or 4 different digital input options, and you have to site there flipping through the different dongles. Even then you'll probably still get an non-native resolution and the refresh rate is of and the control panel doesn't let you correct it. The VGA input ALWAYS WORKS, what ever the resolution of the projector or display.
Instead of figuring out the digital wired inputs, we are moving to wireless connections.

There are exactly 0 streaming services that take away your existing physical media when you sign up. There are also exactly 0 streaming services that prevent you from buying physical media.
"Binge On is not removing or taking away anything."
It is throttling some video providers and not others, and T-mobile gets to decide who gets a good connection and who gets a bad one. That is very much taking away something.

If the district is chosen based on patent trolls' desires, you would think they would pick the district where they prevail the most often.

"I'm fine with that - how 'bout the head? Let's haul CEOs off in handcuffs."
I say revoke the corporations' limited liability and jail the shareholders.
"Except I don't believe anyone uses Intel ARM chips."
The communication processors in XMM standalone modems.

a) The President cannot unilaterally create a Cabinet-level department. In addition, all Cabinet member appointments require Senate approval.
b) The Department of Education Organization Act merely split Education from Health and Human Services, which were previously one department.
c) The earliest Department of Education was created in 1867, somewhat before Jimmy Carter took office.,

What topic isn't political? Not even linux kernel releases could escape that moderation.
"Responding is always better than moderation, because then your response can be evaluated and moderated"
How can responding be better that moderation if it required moderation to be better than moderation?

How dare you learn about how capitalism works before posting about capitalism? We *all* might end up learning something!

Never have information.

T-mobile gets to decide on the criteria, therefore they get to decide who passes.
T-mobile couldn't even screw over their customers correctly.
Need better evil corporations.
I am much too lazy to deal with more than one account.

Extorting the video providers to get on the special list is not what anyone would call "free".
