I think the point it Sac is still vaguely local to SV/SF. If you needed to be there say, once a week, you could jump on the Capital Corridor Express. But it's far enough away that prices are significantly lower, and it already has a fair amount to offer as it houses our reasonably-to-well paid state government.
I repeat, this is not a dig. A gut-reaction for me is Sacramento lacks the attraction of the Bay Area, which is heavy on coast (and cooler coastal weather) and year-round greenery, and which is pre-stocked with cultural diversions. But most of the tech industry happens in Silicon Valley which, frankly, doesn't have those either.
"Google is currently courting select app developers to create apps and games for Android TV"
"Earlier reports suggested Google would build Android TV itself, which would put it in direct competition with its hardware partners."
Seems like maybe they're just letting people know there's something in the pipe, so maybe some folks will hold off on buying a Fire TV, but there's not much about what the thing might look like or do.
Amazon has a low-cost version of S3 called Glacier, the downside of which is slow data retrieval time.
Also, on the extremely unlikely chance you're using Apple, there's a solid tool called Arc which will front-end for Glacier, and add encryption and automation to boot.

(Kurt Eichenwald traces the “astonishingly foolish management decisions” at the company that “could serve as a business-school case study on the pitfalls of success.”)
'Munich' is how Microsoft (internally) describes the German branch of their company (since it's based in Munich). So, translating the corporate speak, it reads: '[Microsoft in] Munich would have saved €43.7 million if [the city of Munich] hadn't used a bunch of free stuff."
As an (newbie-ish) author, I resisted the urge to review my own book, but I had spent a bunch of time reviewing other books thinking that it would be a nice way to find people of like mind and thereby interest them in my own writing. All my work deleted, so it seems.
I have to stop making the mistake of using websites owned by big businesses.
I think you've nailed it. This L.A. Times article talks about the twenty years it took for Technicolor to really take from black and white: http://articles.latimes.com/1998/dec/04/entertainment/ca-50659
Add to that that the oldest color film (very short, mind you, but most were) was in 1902, and you have a fifty-year adoption cycle from black-and-white to color.
Further, the statement, "I haven't yet encountered a director of photography who's genuinely enthusiastic about it." is meaningless in terms of the future of films (Historically, DOP's have far less power over such choices than directors and producers), but offers additional correlation: Very few, if any, DOPs successfully made the transition from B&W to color.* Most of the good color work came from a new generation.
* Take this as you will; I got this from a documentary about Wings of Desire, but can't seem to Google up supporting evidence just at the moment.
The best comparisons I can think of are other major software mergers: IBM and Lotus, SUN and Netscape Server Division. Of course, both of those were massive failures. It seems to come down to this: a company is ailing, so another company buys them either thinking they are going to fix them up or cannibalize them.
I can't see why MS would do a better job of handling Yahoo's business than they did, so while this merger will give MS a boost, it would probably be the end of Yahoo.
Hrm, if you've slept with someone whose willfully deceived you about their age, you're hard to convinct (if it's reasonable.)
What I find interesting is clause 1.k of Florida's Megan's law (which I just browsed through) which includes under the sexual offender list, "computer pornography". They don't say, 'involving minors' or even really seem to define what it includes.
Some of you might want to leave the laptop at home when travelling to Disney World this spring...
Well, patches are in limited supply for MS products anyway. I think, in the defense of this country, it's important for the government to get the first crack at eggs, cheese, and patches.
And only when they have what they need should we concern ourselves with divided the remaining patches up amongst ourselves....

At last: a computer that will be as frustrated by computers as I am!

Multiple choice questions always miss the most important option: none of the above

Maybe the thing doesn't ring very loudly?
The cryptocurrency for smaller purchases?

It strikes me as ironic that the company who has marginalized domain names is trying to hoard a bunch of TLDs.
(I mean, do you ever type in 'thingiwant.com,' or do you just toss 'thing I want' in the Google bar?)

Not the first time they've made such blunders:

You'll just be adding another system to maintain. Just buy a network attached drive, much simpler to maintain and smaller to book.
I know that Western Digital (my book) has software to share with iOS devices at least. Maybe Android, too.

Stick it in the case with eight-core processor, then play Call of Duty for five hours.
He's probably just hoping to attract The Woz to New Zealand...
Uniball Signo or 207 RT, or anything with the UMR-1 0.38mm cartridge in it.
This was me...

It's incredibly important not to get locked into any single format, so you probably don't want to be using that newfangled MS Word program, either.
