Yeah, I agree with this general pattern.
Most people don't care and just need to be able to shop the web, use email, and store a bunch of photos they'll most likely lose when the hard drive crashes. Hopefully they've subscribed to a cloud backup, or invested in one of those inexpensive USB drives as a backup. I just wish Windows had something as nice as Time Machine on OSX. Seems all the folks I advise get stuck on backup software, wind up installing something when I'm not around that usually includes some spyware disguised as anti-virus and the entire machine slows to a crawl.
Here's the deal -- it's interesting as a sample. You might extrapolate a lot from his data.
For a better sample tools just aren't there, except are they? A smartphone knows everything about your habits.
I have been tracking any walk, jog, cycle, hike, or paddle I take with an app on my smartphone for about two years. Guess what I found out?
I don't care enough to do anything with the data. I'm fit, I'm healthy and happy, I'm not an obsessed athlete. I get the idea and the nerdgasm of data, but I it doesn't help me enjoy life more.
You are right, I am caught in some amount of hyperbole!
My point stands. With a cash on hand of some 97billion dollars, a Roku $50million dollar IPO is meaningless. Roku has no long term future, about as much as Groupon.
> Meanwhile, Roku is gearing up for a $50M IPO, so this cord-cutting story is far from over."
Wow! You mean Roku might be worth a speculative 50m?
Apple has nearly a trillion dollars IN THE BANK. Think on that a moment.
This post is junk. AppleTV has made an incremental step forward, not bad for a hobby.
Agreed. I didn't count the unattached garage and unfinished basement but it's space and it's used. And the yard just big enough to not be a hassle and can produce some food and lovely perennial gardens even in our Zone 5b area. This house will be like a palace when our kids leave.
My neighbor grew up in his house, virtually identical to ours, with 5 other siblings!! He's 70.
Yeah, being 'merican means tearing down the old, building new, cheap crap, abandoning centers, moving out into the newest 'burbs house fungus, and being in perpetual debt. Just like American Corporate interests are only focused on the current and next quarter's perceived performance so too is the 'merican dream frittered away in short term perceptions of luxury.
Me? I live in a small by 'merican standards house of a mere 1700 sq ft that many would call a starter home. Guess what? Debt free with a load of cash invested and many fancy internet connected devices from which I prove that all the wrong people on the internets are wrong.
And I would add the same could be said for some *********MBA who comes in, thinks for the short term, doesn't nurture the topology or Design... while many folk with experience can transition into strategic "hybrid" roles many do not get the chance to do so full on. An MBA doesn't make you smart, experience, judgement, and practice do. How this still gets past people is beyond me.
I have never supported Susan Collins for other issues.
But I have to ask why the OP decided to belittle the Senator's formal educational credentials? This seems like a distraction for the real question here: are these full body scanners actually safe, and, that's the question the Senator has introduced to be studied.
The Senator has asked a good question here. I praise her for asking a question in a time when the knee jerk response has been a resounding YES to police state control. The OP has held up a straw man in questioning her education.

Yeah, I use my MessagePad 2000 all the fucking time too, but mostly my eMate stands in as the winner.
It's Uncle Fester who needs to go. Now!
I sit here wondering why I still need to see an update to the Flash plugin, much less an alternative way to play a flash file. No thanks.
I've already got my phone on vibrate for you baby!

Splunge?
Microsoft has shown more than it has shipped, and that is bad.

I pity the fool who modded you down.
A lot of people need peace when working. It's called environmental sensitivity or at least awareness.

Yeah, I did 25 miles one way for 13 years. I hated myself at the end and was miserable.

W/re to refineries ... we had too much capacity due to our decreased demand for refined petroleum products.

CD quality is not at all high audio quality ... if you ask audiophiles.
'terrible dirty dick' ... but maybe because of Santorum http://spreadingsantorum.com/
Yes, it's disgusting
Great minds ... but you beat me by two minutes. I shouldn't have switched tabs while the dang pre-flight on submission was spinning.
I concur. Nothing larger than the current iPhone for me thank you.
