The killer VR app, for the next few years at least, is going to be porn and other video. A $200 dollar phone will be able to pull this off with ease. Google has realized this and the next gen of VR capable android phones should provide a more than adequate experience.. Casual games should also be no problem. A fully realized, computer rendered VR experience that does not make one sick is still a ways off as a far as I can tell.
I for one am more interested in AR and am waiting to sea what Magic Leap ships. I think that high-end, complete isolation systems will mostly be relegated to amusement parks and theaters. They are impractical and even dangerous (think parents with toddlers...) for frequent home use.
Yes you get commercial free streaming and access to a ton of music you don't care about, but you also lose "Instant Mix" which is arguably Google Play Music's best feature. Instant Mix creates a mix from your own music collection whereas Start Radio will play from Google's entire library. You might think you want the latter but I can almost guarantee you will miss the former if you have any investment in your own collection. You will then have to wait months for your subscription to expire (even if you cancel it right away) before the feature will return.

I'v been using it for nearly 20 years now. It also records TV but I've never used it for that. Just for accessing my own stuff from my HTPCs. Work well with a MCE Remote.
The easy way to fix this is to force Google to disable all advertising in questionably legal video content. That way, they will not be able to profit from the works of these poor struggling artists. Problem Solved !!!!
That's really the only ethical dilemma I see here.
That's a pretty generous estimate. Not only are there so many crap apps, you are forced to wade through many of them to find a good one, App store search is deliberately handicapped.
We have tired of FPS set in the future much as we were burnt out on WWII 10 years ago. COD is (and has been for a while) giving us more of the same while Battlefield is doing something that few even thought they wanted. It's going to pay off for EA. Stay tuned for a COD time reversal next year or so.
BF is arguably the better platform though the charm of both series is seriously diminished by masses of non-objective caring players competing for bragging rights over virtual ranks and items.
I've got two daughters who I took (and still take) into the mens' room whenever I had to, many, many times, and in many many countries.
I've never had a problem. Also men don't seem to mind women in the men's room, just the other way around. Any sold out stadium show should prove this.
Men just need to lighten the fuck up. Especially white, right ones. No you are not the persecuted ones. It's all in your frightened, insecure little minds. Being upset about transgendered women in the women's bathroom is like being upset that they painted the women's bathroom blue. How the fuck would you even know?
Oh and FYI... There are a SHITLOAD of men's restrooms with changing stations, not than any competent diaper changer needs one.
I agree it's not surprising but the only way it's going to change is if someone is held responsible. If they have "no idea where the ads are coming from or what they contain" then they shouldn't be embedding them in their web sites. We ne
Most of anything is shite. BBC World News while not perfect has been a beacon to the world for which you should be proud. BBC was a good idea that is fixable.
We don't have much news on telly here, mostly just opinion being preached to it's respective choir and what ever the scary story of the day is. We can't seem to get enough frightening nastiness.... no matter how irrelevant.
News that is 100% supported by advertising is neither news nor public service. Never has been.

Oh shit, now I'm probably going to get sued.

I gave up beta testing for Microsoft years ago.
25% of mobile Apps are crap

That's really all you need to know about this click bait.

These exist for the iphone from a 3rd party, I believe.
Oh look, an anonymous coward thinks that copyright holders deserve near perpetual rights to income from work done once.
It's the rest of us who are greedy.

Pretty please? For Android?
Our lives aren't significantly enhanced by wireless keys. Are they?
But that's not going to happen, is it?
And I like to travel.
Your system of "intellectual property" is broken beyond repair.
They do. Opt in/out of "binge on" is an option in your t-mobile account settings.

Surely the ad network(s) or the sites themselves can be sued over this?
This. I bet that they don't have sufficient tech talent and probably never will. It's a clash of ethos.
It's pretty funny seeing the same people ready to vote for Trump and take us down the fascist road complaining about big, evil government though.
Grandpa Munster's evil twin.
My god. A voice of reason.
