The shipment of lithium ion batteries was banned by USPS for this very reason due to concerns from the shipping industry after 2 cargo planes caught fire and crashed which contained them.
It's either the heat or temperature cycling that causes it. However, it's interesting to note that the issue only seems to affect batteries that are charged.
The APU must remain running at all times during the flight. Power from the APU is used to restart the engines during a power failure. In the event that the APU is inoperable, the plane can only travel on courses that do not take it over water and in which the route is over airports spaced no more than one hour of flight time between each, and those airports must be able to handle the landing of a plane of that size.
This has been available to registered user in their options for some time in beta status. I've had it enabled for some time and it really makes it worth logging in to make the little edits here and there. I hope that they plan to enable it for everyone by default.
T-mobile does this because they benefit by having a lower load on their data network by keeping most people on low-cost, crappy phones that are undesirable to use. They have to do this because their rate plans are so cheap.
Verizon and AT&T, on the other hand, sell expensive data plans and want you to go above the plan limits in order to bump you up to more expensive plans or pay overages. Therefore, they need to keep you constantly updated with the latest data-hungry gizmo that's desirable to use such that you are tapping away at all hours of the day; ergo the subsidized phones. Additionally the subsidy keeps the consumer locked into their high-priced contract.
Both of these models "work" and can coexist, as evidenced in markets around the world. They cater to different types of consumers. The market shake-up that would occur if the larger carriers tried to become low-cost competitors to the also-rans would be dangerous for all the players and has little long-term benefit for companies already charging high premiums. You don't see Maserati making significant changes to their business just because they can't get people to upgrade from a Honda.
I am studying web accessibility and am curious what your impression is of the usability of various sites. Has the internet gotten worse or better as development methodologies have changed?
You're able to control how the box model is calculated in CSS3 using the box-model CSS property. You could standardize on the MSIE way, if you so choose.
Generally, it's exactly the opposite. You buy the execution and not the idea. Ideas are a dime a dozen and about as protectable as a tin of tuna in a wild cat den.
They still haven't released an SDK and they won't do so for a while after it ships?
What are people going to do with it while they wait for developers to receive their device and build apps?
I owned a much more feature rich device in a similar watch form-factor, the WiMM One. While the device was nice, there was never a good enough set of apps with addictive utility to me that justified the constant battle with battery life. It launched with a complete app SDK and was built on Android so it was trivial to develop apps for. This device doesn't have an SDK available and isn't as conventional. I suspect it will meet much the same fate once these initial orders are fulfilled.
Can't the choir director accommodate your disability by counting down the beginning of the song? Forcing you both to adapt some cumbersome technology seems silly.
Technically the Android UI guidelines don't advise a back button at the top left, however iOS makes it mandatory by virtue of its lack of a physical back button.
What you see as inconsistency is ultimately the result of two effects:
1) Direct porting of iOS apps/UI to Android by people who don't work with Android 2) Lax UI standards enforcement on the part of the Google Play review team
While that's probably the most forgivable of your comments, I agree that app instability and kludgy UI details are legion throughout the entire Android ecosystem. On the same note, iOS has become increasingly less friendly in terms of usability while, functionally, the apps are typically well-reviewed by the iOS approval team for performance.
These things would be easy for Google to remedy by spending more money on review, but they don't charge enough for the developer license to cover the cost of reviewing so many free and ported apps.
Even if they fix all the underlying technical problems, I still think their latest interface updates to Jelly Bean are atrocious and most of the built-in apps (even those made by Google) continue to behave inconsistently, for which continuity suffers.

You can access passwords in cleartext out of LastPass, as well.
now they can say you support their opinion on this Net Neutrality matter, as well.
didn't help, either.
"I don't think..."
You say this about 3 times in your post.
You obviously did no research.

From the CEO's blog post about the product it sounds like this is just an idea he got from what they're already doing in Europe.
I'm surprised anyone invested in this. Though raising $25m for a Stanford student only takes an e-mail sign up page these days.

Yup. Welcome to the future :(

I suspect there was some short-term value in the publicity. At best, they got an install base.

Support is in reference to updates for security patches.
In one year, any flaws discovered in Windows XP will go unpatched by Microsoft.

"Or"???!11?!!?!?
The only emotion Android evokes within me is frustration.
It will be a great dance partner.
On (Canadian) BlackBerries turning on encryption is synonymous with creating a password to use the phone.
I wonder if a proposal to scrape their entire data set and offer a superior API to the public would be accepted.
n/m looks like the subdomain work-around was anticipated and most browser implementations still limit the entire domain to 5MB.
5MB of persistent storage... per host. They could just setup a bunch of subdomains for each song, which typically come in at just under 5MB.
iPads are sold all over the place.
You can't buy Surface anywhere but Microsoft Store/Online from Microsoft.
