Microsoft: "Windows 7? why are you still running that pile."
Users: "Well, you said it was the fastest and most secure operating system ever. Besides Windows 10 doesn't really offer any new functionality and I don't really like the UI."
Microsoft: "No no that was old Microsoft. He was a dick. You need to scrap that gnarled bag of bolts and install Windows 10. Its the fastest and most secure operating system ever!"
Yea I'm not sure what this article is talking about. Samsung has supported HDMI out over the OTG cable since all the way back to the S3.
The only draw back is you couldn't use the HDMI and the USB host at the same time but you could always hook a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to it.
There are no details in the article that specify weather they're talking about over coming the OTG obstacle or what.
The OP reads more like there's some kind of slick software interface that make the experience more like your current desktop computer.
Of course stock Android already has a desktop mode so this looks mostly like marketing wank.
Renewable energy is a buzzword from the 90's
Modern fossil fuel harvest methods mean that there is no real shortage and we will have fossil fuels to burn indefinitely.
Ethanol and bio-diesel renewable even though there less carbon effecent than fossil fuels.
If Google ran there data centers on burning baby kittens, that would be renewable.
The new hotness is carbon neutral and I guarantee that Google's data centers are not.
So what are they using besides "tofu", nothing? Blank spaces?
If I don't have the character set installed that the page is written in, then its probably because I can't read that language any way.
And I damn sure don't want to load every character set that exists on the web into my browser. It would run like balls.
If you go to a page that has characters that your browser doesn't understand and you need to get to the information, use Google translate.
People who troll around youtube looking for content that might be inappropriate aren't what you would call "Heroes." They're more what you call "whiny little bitches."
"Hello AT&T customer service"
"Yes I would like to enter an RMA Please. I was in my room when suddenly my phone CAUGHT FIRE!. I was in such a panic about it, I threw the phone down the stairs and it landed in the toilet. Thankfully that put the fire out but I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to happen, so can you warranty this?"
education system is insufficiently preparing Americans for tech fields
I know right?
After busting there ass for 4 or 5 years and spending 100 grand on tuition, graduating Americans were totally unprepared for the insultingly low salary they were offered.
I have seen some abuse of this. like designers trying to sue people for taking pictures of landmarks. That kind of thing.
I'm not an expert in British law but I would hope the courts would see most of this as fair use.
If you don't have the design files what's the big deal.
I don't think this is exactly an attack on 3d printing but trying to make it into a viable business.
Don't get me wrong its totally still bullshit its just not any more bullshit that all other types of copy right law.
Ah come on guys. China is getting mutant super solders.
Science may now be capable redefining the human condition and if we aren't at the forefront of this crime against nature well then that's just un-American.

Granted it is better than Windows 8. But I don't want a tablet OS for my Workstation.
I don't want a tablet OS on my tablet.
Microsoft should trying to bring the usability of the desktop experience to the tablet instead of the other way around.
Windows 8/10 is the worst of both worlds.
hmmm... Snuff film?
30 minutes a day is more than enough time to upload a months worth of usage logs.

Didn't they install IOS 7?
That's supposed to make them air proof.

Good.
Maybe now we can get the "From the Web" and the "Sponsored by Taboola" removed from Slashdot.
Or if you own an IPhone.
Oh good. We have now stopped global warming and all it took was an executive order.
Take that science.
"When the research assistants switched between using white-sounding and African-American-sounding names"
African-America "sounding names" well that's scientific.
Oh wait no that's racist.
So the car manufacturer decided to prioritize the guy giving them money instead of the guy that doesn't even have a car.
Shocker!
If you think about this, there really isn't another option. Would you buy a car that wasn't going to prioritize your life in the event of a crash?

You would think if this were a simulation, the designers would have come up with a more plausible set of circumstances.
Can you imagine how people are going to react when they see one of these delivery robots rolling down the sidewalk?
"Hey look! Free pizza!"
What if it were a 9 foot pole that just says 10 on it?

Shouldn't have a problem tracking the trail of tax payer money blowing out of its ass.

This would be a great opportunity for the user to drop the emissions control system in its entirety.

Man he is really dedicated to getting back that sex tape.
No, trying to monetize your products is a critical part of being in business. Monetizing your customers is more like fraud or slavery.
