i have two kids too and my wife isn't as crazy as yours. in fact we didn't buy a lot of stuff on that idiotic babies r us list cause it was a waste to spend $300 on something for 6 months. and on the second kid we didn't even use that $300 diaper bag that everyone said to get for the first cause you don't need to pack like a soldier going on deployment just to take your kid outside
for when you download every movie, song and tv show there is even though it's impossible to actually consume it all within a human lifetime but you still do it because it makes you feel superior
i do all my porn and risky surfing on a VM on my main computer that i keep shut off unless i'm using it. and i avoid virtually all chrome extensions unless they are from someone i trust with a real corporate email in the contacts.
figure 10 years down the road you can buy VR tickets to concerts, the superbowl and any other event with limited ticket supply. why pay $1000 to see some old and fat ass band from your childhood cause the scalpers bought all the tickets. buy it on VR and watch it at home from the same angle as front row seats
people i've talked to already prefer watching sports at home compared to watching it live, especially football. this is where VR will be good at
it's 2017 and stupid people still pre-order expensive electronics without seeing it in the store, pre-order games that don't work cause of bugs or service issues for weeks at a time and now they sign up for streaming services at release without seeing other people's experience
no it's not. if they set up a bunch of companies and relationships between companies to get control of every part of the smartphone market and actually sold the most smartphones it would be anti trust.
maybe you should go back to school and learn about the original trusts like the Rockefeller oil trust and how they operated
before the religion of global warming took off the USA had real pollution like Nitrous Oxides, sulfur and lots of other chemicals that caused cancer, acid rain that killed trees and animals, asthma and lots of other real health problems.
some of us are old enough to remember the old days when the USA was like China is now with a pall of smog above our cities
because coal causes worse pollution than CO2 which leads to health problems. using renewable keeps the pollution in china at the point of mining and manufacture
saw one in Costco this weekend. looks awesome. but i'll wait a few years until 4K content is everywhere. it's not like you have to run out and buy it to be ready for 4K content.
once the content is here go buy the TV at half the price it's selling for right now
most of the real world uses spotify, apple, google or one of the other music apps out there. then you have the network providers who will sell data about what their networks are used for
no stupid, on the free version you can customize your stations and the paid subs you can create your own playlists and only listen to what you want to listen to
yeah, i had those and they sucked. ipod and itunes you could organize your music by artists and whatever and listen to an album or just mix the artist. Then they added playlists making it even better.
the itunes sync was awesome because it made it easy and fast to add or delete music more than one file at a time
it had the only full web browser on a phone at the time. all other phones had mobile browsers that sucked even if you compared them to IE 6.1
it really had no function except to take money from people with money to blow to have a device to kill time during lunch or some other time during the day. then it got apps before android
RIM was a bunch of greedy bastards who thought they could make money on the professional and BYOD market. they charged you to buy the BES server, the licenses and on the device side you had to buy the expensive data plan to access that BES server
Other devices you have to pay by KILOBYTE
Iphone had the first data plan where they didn't meter you or enforce the professional email access rules
you obviously don't remember the "smartphones" of the day. yes, they had those paper features but in real life it was easier not to use them. i remember when android was hyping the bluetooth or NFC file transfer. tried it with my father in law one time and discovered it was useless for anything over tiny text files.
other than apps the only useful feature the iphone was missing at release was corporate email support. a year later they licensed ActiveSync from Microsoft and with the 3GS it was the end of the blackberry
$7 a month to have your realm on pocket edition which is a huge PITA to connect to the vanilla java server. It's like $25 for the xbox and PS4 versions where they sell you lots of skins and other stuff. same on pocket edition
my kid told me everyone in his class only plays on pocket edition which is a shame since it's so crippled to make MS more money

and you kid will die without you knowing and you will feel guilty
run out and buy it now before your baby dies

and will it be enough for the digital hoarders out there?

LTE is CDMA. just a newer version of CDMA.
you're thinking of CDMA 2000 which Verizon is still using for voice, but the newer versions are just called LTE and part of the worldwide standard
as long as their investors and the labels have the right numbers they can report any number they want to the media and it will be perfectly legal
why would anyone use the lightning adapter for playback on a TV? just airplay it to an apple tv

spotify and apple music don't have ads when you pay. and even if i'm wrong, then it's an audio ad that doesn't use a lot of data

i had MP3 players since around 2000 and bought the iPod once it worked with Windows and never looked back. Best MP3 player of the day
