The S7 Edge is very similar to the Note 7. The main difference is the pen. The iPhone do not have a pen. Seems more likely the people will switch to the S7 Edge. The Pixel XL is another likely candidate since at least it's running the same OS.
That's the exception, not the norm. Also, was Netflix stupid enough to think they would not go to Italy? Anyway the norm is that Netflix is already in a market, but they are outbid on broadcasting rights for a particular show.
I know people here in Canada who use a vpn to get around the blocks netflix uses because American Netflix has more choices than here... when the subject came up just a few weeks ago about something like this, he has, in about as many words, plainly admitted that he will torrent the shows he watches if they ever make it otherwise impossible for him to watch.
So? In both cases it's illegal, and in both cases, the content owner in his country doesn't get paid. Go ahead and pirate, it's no worse than using VPN to watch Netflix.
You are breaking a law when faking Netflix into thinking you are in another country. It's called copyright law. The holder of the copyright (distribution rights) in your country is not being paid. Why pay for illegal content? I agree with the OP, use torrents if you are not going to comply with the law anyway.
It doesn't need it. But it does use it when negotiating with content provider. They ask "how much for that show? We will only broadcast it to US IP addresses." It's part of the deal.
Pro: -run off the shelf Ubuntu cloud image, not a custom made OS, with real Linux binaries and can be updated with apt-get -several advantages over a VM: -no need for a separate partition/file -no need to allocate RAM (and require less RAM in general) -no messing with network configuration (although this limits some functionality) -no boot time
Cons: -file access seems slow -fakeroot doesn't work (fakeroot-tcp does and can be used as an alternative) -you need to launch it with administrative privileges in order to ping anything -very limited/dev (no hard drive, no serial port) -no loopback filesystem mount possible, no Linux filesystems support -during a large compilation, I got some failures with "write errors" which do not happen under my VM. My SVN local db was also corrupted. -you can edit a file from Windows but the Linux simulator won't get notified the file changed. You can still read the good content but the modification date is wrong. -no GUI application, no servers (as there is no init scripts)
So when every yahoo on your segment fires up BitTorrent your VoIP stops working? No thank you.
If it's the case then it means you have congestion and should improve the network. If we both pay the same price for Internet and you do X GB/month of VoIP and I do X GB/month of download, why should you get priority over me? And anyways, I could make my packets looks like VoIP to defeat the entire purpose of your suggestion so it is doomed from start, you can't win.
Many monitors have built-in speakers if you are into that. Otherwise, many people still add external speakers on the iMac. If people cared about having 2 fewer cables represented a significant part of the market, there would be tons of all-in-one PCs and they would be popular. They aren't, because people prefer either laptops or real desktops. If you actually had that choice with Macs too (you don't, as I explained), they would sell a lot less iMacs.
an All-In-One has the worst of both desktops and laptops. To heavy/bulky to move, and not upgradable/repairable like a laptop.
The iMac is popular mainly because there is a market for an Apple desktop more powerful than the Mini and less expensive than the Pro. Most people who buy an iMac would have been better off with a mid-tower Mac desktop with a separate monitor.
I never understood the point of all-in-ones. If I am going to pay $1500 (a surface is not going to be cheap) for a good monitor and PC, I will want the monitor to be usable with my next PC in 5-7 years.
Yes I have heard of them and Apple is far worse with its proprietary connectors, features only working if you have both an iPhone and a Mac, the iPhone even have its own damned Messaging and Video chats protocol! It's just like if Cisco's routers had a proprietary protocol instead of TCP/IP. You can install Microsoft's software on PCs from any vendor (including Apple). Cisco switches works well with PCs from any vendor. The level of lock-in is just not the same level.
I am all for the 3.5mm jack, and think they should keep it on their phone. However at least USB-C is a standard. USB-C audio could replace the headphone jack on all manufacturers, so it's really not as bad as having only a non-standard (lightning) port.

At least you don't need Microsoft's approval to distribute a software and they don't tax you 30%. So yes, not fully open but there is far worse.
You forget the S7 Edge.

Netflix was free to outbid that someone else. They chose not to.
He can be Scandinavian, and European as well. And a westerner. And a lot of other things, as well as being a Norwegian.
I don't see what's wrong here.

Fortunately, nobody needs all the content of the Internet, so this is not a problem to begin with.

Yes. My point was that it's not a console exclusivity to be able to game on couch + TV.
you know you can connect your PC to your 42" TV, right?

Dont want to sound like a fanboi but, lots of hate & vendor lock-in comments in regard to Apple truly isn't warranted.
[...]
Apple supports and updates it's users.
What does support and update has to do with vendor lock-in? Apple is the worse company on earth for vendor lock-in. They still have excellent support.
Because no one is going to buy an iPhone to get a larger screen.
So you just admitted you vendor locked-in yourself. You are the only one to blame.

No, this won't work.

Disagree that it isn't a problem. On a mobile device that is space that could be put to a better purpose.
Many Android phones are smaller than the iPhone 7 plus with a 3.5mm jack and a larger display.
