But the release of the code provided the means to find out there is code in there for controlling glass via facial gestures such as winking. Combine this with the earlier concern of people taking pictures or videos say in a restroom or up skirt up steps where the people who claimed oh you have to push a button or say a command to do so... Well just wink and its on.
And it's funny this is all being developed by a guy who doesn't want people owning drones that could film others.. Such as the parrot ar.drone.
On a side note, with all the reviews and ads it seems the main focus and feature being demoed is its ability to take phots and video......
Only in context. Take 120 volts.. that's less than 1 Amp. That's less than the LED replacement bulbs for Halogens use. 220 Volts (for the Euro guys). That's less than half an amp. Current USB Voltage (5 volts)... that's 20 Amps. Now that is a bit much for DC like that.. you'll need around 16-18 gauge wire ideally. But this spec is (after I was informed of this) using 20 volts, so that's 5 amps. That's not that much. You have some fairly small wires in your car fused at 10 to 15 amps now powering the radio etc, and that's only at 12 to 14.4 volts
because fibre is much easier to break/snap than copper. Same reason the company my friend works for who installs media distribution systems into Lufthansa aircraft don't spec it out with fiber lines.. they use CAT 7 with the TERA style ends, because an over-zealous mechanic is more likely to snap a fibre optic line with his zip tie than a copper line
I know.. which depending on the run, using DC.. you're talking around 16 gauge to 18 gauge wire I'd have to guess. They aren't going to be your thin USB cables anymore.. going back more to the size of the original USB cables before they thinned down
I should add I'm not suggesting pirating stuff, but it IS a solution like Netflix, although you always have to update your library.
I use to at home. I rip the DVD's to a linux box running Plex so the kids can watch a movie if they want on any TV in the house (only dvd players are the DVD drive on my laptop and the Dell PowerEdge in the basement, and the PlayStation 3). This way they don't have to handle the discs (less mess of just discs all over, no scratched discs etc) and they can easily operate it themselves
I have a neighbor whos older (late 60s) and she is an absolute wreck when she cant get on facebook. Her daughter and the daughters husband live next door and I always know when shes having issues with her PC because they tell me "please fix her pc! Shes driving us crazy with the coming over to use our pc to get on facebook deal"
She'll even tell you how crazy she goes waiting to get on facebook. She paces around, cant sit still etc just like she might as well be a junkie waiting for her next fix of heroin
No kidding, An April Fools joke should happen once and be done with (otherwise, the joke just becomes an annoying pain in the ass such as Slashdot today). The ROT13? Do it once, have a "ha ha" and be done with it.
The other option, if you'd like to have something all day, is don't make it shoved into the users face. Do like google with the Doodle or map option, or like Proctor-Gamble with the Bacon Flavored Scope.. it's not their whole damn page.
Then again, I guess that's asking for a bit too much from the guys here
"as well as about 18K desktops on 4 campuses connected with dark fiber. "
How about using something like a Group Policy or BigFix to set power profiles that get pushed out so each machine will auto-power down if not in use for X amount of time (even if it means stand-by). For employee machines, make the time longer than public machines... that's what we do here at our university to help save on electricity use (which IIRC from a recent article we use about $2 million a week but I think that includes all the branch campuses as well)
Completely agree. Or go with a smaller local carrier. Sure I don't get 4G (yet.. it's suppose to finally get deployed soon), and I have a limited number of minutes, I get unlimited text messages, pictures, and data for $50 (I think around 250 talking minutes which is more than enough for me)
I just purchased a Note II outright off of NewEgg for the wife.. $600 or so, which would have been $300 from Verizon. She got a Net10 sim card for it, $50 for unlimited with 1.5GB data a month (up to HSPA+). For Verizon, you'd be looking around $100 or more with data, taxes etc and be stuck in a 2 year contract for that $300 phone. I figured out we'd save around $1140 or so after the 2 years even with including the extra cost of purchasing the phone outright.
T-Mobile has actually been putting some of their towers on 1900 so they're compatible with AT&T phones. I think they did this to try to sweeten the deal if AT&T had purchased them..
I just can't remember off the top of my head... I think it was HSPA+ in some areas.. well it had to have been since up just a bit north of Boston I got H+ on my Galaxy S III that supports the AT&T bands but I was on a T-Mobile tower
If I use the 1.5A Samsung charger, or the 1.5A universal cigarette plug lighter, it holds well even under heavy load.
Now if I use say the iPad 2 USB adapter, even under modest load it will either just barely charge or slightly discharge.. you can tell that charger isn't putting out the 1 to 1.2 or whatever Amps it does if an iPad was plugged in.
The only ones here are larger (and typically Green but not always and usually only on Dual fuel pumps).
But some stations seem to use different color handles for the different grades of gasoline as well, which could easily lead to someone not paying attention and pulling up to a dual fuel pump (Diesel and Gasoline) and grabbing the black Gasoline nozzle and filling it up
Samsung has to be one of the best at actually updating. The issue I think you're seeing and wrongly blaming on Samsung is your CARRIERs lack of updating. Both my Galaxy S and Galaxy S 3 are unlocked units from Immix Wireless. They don't screw with the ROMs or anything else. My wife had a Verizon Fascinate (a Galaxy S phone) and while my Galaxy S was getting updates from Samsung fairly steadily and was at 2.4.3 IIRC before I went 3rd party ROMs, my wifes fascinate was still back on 2.3 (or at least 2.3.x).
No, because CM for the Galaxy line has been okay at best for a while now. Once they started getting into 9 some funky stuff happened, such as Spirit FM or whatever the radio app is called you had to use since the stock FM app would't work in CM 9. Issue was, EVEN IF YOU WERE USING HEADPHONES ANY AND ALL TIMES THE FM RADIO APP WAS IN USE, your external speaker could (and fairly often like mine DID) die. At first it sounded like it was blown, and then less than two days later it quit working at all.
There was a bunch of other gotchas.. and anymore the stock ROM is good with it's features, and if you want root you can still root it and keep the stock recovery for OTA updates and other changes that check to see if the phone has been modified before it does the changes
Faster in some senses.. the dual core did better in some areas than the quad-core (due to the faster clock speed even if it isn't a massive clock-speed jump). I have a Quad-Core international (since my wireless carrier doesn't have LTE and is going HSPA+ instead) vs some of the people I know who have the dual-core US one.. (one of which said they thought the screen on my international seemed clearer than their US one although I think that was in their head)
Exactly. There was an offset 4 way intersection that had stop signs instead of lights. They replaced it with lights and traffic definitely flowed better with the stop signs

Weird... because I dont have large hands and the note II fits fine
The installers dont use them... the mechanics, well I guess its happened before

I guess I missed that part.. I figured they HAD to be used higher voltages but I just based off of a worst case 5v deal

Plex Media Server + your peicemeal priated stuff.
Instant Netflix on your computer, iPad, Android Device, etc
Honest to god, no.

and a Jailbroken iPhone which has apps installed from say Cydia which may also provide ways for people to get in or apps to do what they shouldn't do?
My question is if this exploit works with the Allow 3rd party APKs to be installed disabled (like what's on by default on the Samsung phones)

Dish boxes do that (well the hopper for sure)
