No need to get an IP connected TV when your PS3, modern DVD player, AppleTV and any number of other appliances have Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Streaming built in, or the ability to download and install those apps through the UI.
Sure, IP-connected TV is nice, but is sort of redundant with the diaspora of network connected set-top boxes that will play games, DVDs, music, photos and other digital media have become the norm in the last few years.
Minority Report featured huge wall-sized displays that everyone could see what you were interacting with and appreciate the subtle finesse and precision with which you operated.
With these, people will cut throw startled glances and cut wide arcs around the goggle wearing special needs person doing a bizarre mime routine while walking down the sidewalk.
Final Cut Pro has been fucked for years and the Studios have been leaving FCP in droves. Apple does not give a shit and will not give a shit -- because they *know better* than their users -- so why should they care about this?
So you need to have your phone present and with a connection to login? And it's basically just OAuth with an added device dependency?
FINALLY! As a SADO-MASOCHISTIC Web Developer, I've been pining for an authentication schema that is as equally painful to use as it is to implement that provides no real added benefit over what we currently have!
Son't worry -- we're working on it. In a few years, we'll be rolling out indentured servitude in exchange for a college education. Such servants wont be afforded such rights by their minders. The rest wont have jobs and will be subject to labor camps.
This is a fantastic idea -- every photographer I've ever met can certainly afford the court costs and legal fees to take on sites such as these. Hell they have entire legal teams! I can't believe no one has ever thought of this before.
Well to be fair -- the IoC did let the Nazis host an Olympics and by all accounts, it was a grand ol' time. How could letting Russia host an Olympics possibly be any worse?
Since we are going full-on Totalitarian Police State, can we get cool Hugo Boss suits with colorful arm bands? Time for DHS/FEMA to start filling up those Concentration Camps they've been building.
Planets want plastic and we evolved to make lots of it. So get over your "save the planet" BS and start giving the planet more plastic. We should create a Kickstarter to send a shipment to Titan which while working hard to make it's own, clearly would be happy with much more.

People love to bash on Apple users, and Apple users take it in stride. Poke some fun at Android users and their panties knot up damn fast. Is it just me or are Android users seeming more and more like whiny little shits.
I know, let's go and make another chart showing how Samsung and HTC are KILLING Apple. In 3 months after the new iPhone release has quieted down of course.
I for one am glad that this cop is out ticketing Map App users. Current Models of iPhone and Android maps have VOICE INSTRUCTIONS that tell you how far to drive and where to turn. I can only imagine that these are Android users who bought some cheap piece of shit phone that the manufacturer released with an already obsolete OS who have never and will never update their OS and are the main cause of Android version fragmentation.
I only wish he could put these Android users in JAIL.
Seeing as how vital utilities are to our Nation's livelihood and welfare, I can't possibly see any scenario in which outsourcing the IT duties to any Foreign National should be considered anything but a gigantic security risk. It's no secret that any given network on the electric grid can cause widespread outages beyond it's customer base. Congress needs to pass a law requiring all Utilities to employ their own IT departments comprised of US Nationals on US Soil.
I hear the design of these new Tablets from MS was personally overseen by Balmer and have corners so round that they will be practically circular, allowing them to be thrown much further than current Tablet models. However, Wham-O claims the new design may infringe upon some of their patents.
A fingerprint is not all that is required, the appendage leaving the impression must also have a faint electric signature only found in living tissue. So it seems a severed finger would only serve to smudge the glass display.
... who declined to be identified because the project was confidential. Microsoft executives were aware of the existence of the project
Only Microsoft would buy have to a company they already owned. It's been known for years now that their CEO was a trojan horse planted by Balmer. Too bad for Nokia, because they were actually a very good company that made good products. Then Mr. Microsoft-Assfucker became their CEO and burned them to the ground. Now they make shit products and will face the same fate of all other MS mobile offerings.
Anyone that impedes process of Authority by invoking their Constitutional Rights is an un-American terrorist sympathizer who should be locked up in one of our Secret Prisons under Secret laws to be tried at some future date in a Secret court.
The Constitution is the most Un-American thing about America and should be abolished. The TSA and DHS need swift, unquestioned Authority to protect us from those who would harm America and to speed up those long lines at Airport Security Checkpoints and the long lines we shall soon be seeing at Security Checkpoints at Shopping Centers, Train and Bus Terminals and many other major facilities across the Nation
yeah -- and I for one stick to Apple becauseI have no need to waste time fucking about with my phone's UI and the fact that most vendors lock you to a specific OS release, leaving it up to the user to go about figuring out how to get in and update the OS by themselves.
So hey -- you might get a big stiffy for all that "hands on uber-geekness", I for one just want a smart phone that works well, gets regular OS updates and where I don't have to suspect each and every app of being a trojan.

The White Dwarf in question had this to say on Science Magazine's Twitter Feed: "I made you a watery body with rocky surface, but then I ated it"

If you ever watched Breaking Bad you'd know "Going Heisenberg" involves copious amounts of corrosive liquid and a special type of plastic container.
