Sony killed it first. Sony dropped PlayTV completely from PS3 to PS4. So I dropped Sony for the XBone so I'd be able to do OTA at all (without having to buy a separate DBV-T decoder, which I don't currently have). Since PS3 had a DVr, MS promised one, but when Sony didn't deliver an OTA at all, MS stopped focusing on competing with the missing feature. MS already beats Sony for TV features, so no need to try harder.
In general I think that the Xbox One is an attractive console at this price for the undemanding gamer.
I think it's underrated for the non-gamer. Blu-Ray, Netflix and such. It's the media box for the home with a large, but not smart, TV.
PS3 had more media options than PS4, so neither is the right choice for that anymore. XBone is the right choice for the non-gamer to get a media PC attached to the TV. Small, quiet, and low on power, for something that'll play DVDs, BluRay, Netflix, and even some gaming, if you decide to try it out.
There's no reason for MS to make the xbone a PC on the inside, and every reason for them not to.
Making it as close to a Wintel box as possible, to unify gaming and OS OSs was a stated goal. Given that goal, you think they did what you said and deliberately made it different from the platform they are trying to unify on?
It's an AMD-based PC, running Windows 10 Embedded (game version). It shouldn't be too hard to find the DRM chip, cut it out, and install some Linux on it or something. Though, if they are selling it for $250, it probably costs $100 to make, so you won't be gaining much.
Skinny bundles are the first step to a la carte. That Apple couldn't even get skinny bundles indicates that a la carte is 10+ years off (or major stock collapse of the main players).
But Sling and PlayStation have less expensive OTT bundles already, and there are surely more coming.
What's the cheapest way to legally watch The Walking Dead? How about Grey's Anatomy? I've not found an OTT solution that has popular shows of the current season. You have to subscribe to the channel to get it. If you know otherwise, please let us know.
If Apple had won, then we'd be able to order a-la-carte TV on cable and everything else.
Apple walked away because of the rules Disney and other have. You can't buy Espn without buying all the other ESPNs, and Disney Kids. They know that if you can pick just one or two out of the lineup, it'll weaken the "monopoly" of Disney. So they come as a group, and any trimming of a few to save costs is not allowed.
And in that case, the blur is in higher resolution than you can get at home.
I hated Avatar 3D for that reason. They still hadn't figured out focus (human brain, not lens), so the standard spinny-cam effect as two people are talking became painful when there was a near-field shrub for 2D perspective. Your focus would be drawn to the blurry shrub jumping out at you, and not the focus of the scene, being the two talking people. Made it watchable in 2D, but unwatchable in 3D. 3D is great for the highlights, but for the plot, 2D is superior. For that, and other reasons.
The amount of resolution on the print or media used to generate the image is higher than you can buy in any store. If it's so blurry for you, that's a separate issue.
I've never seen a place without a family room. Sometimes it's also the kitchen, dining room, and hallway, but it was there. I guess if you live in your parent's basement, you don't have a family room, unless you leave the basement, and you never do.
I've found what works is tapping someone on the shoulder and asking to borrow their phone. Works more than you think. No need to have a phone booth for emergency calls when 90% of the population has a phone. Sure, if you are alone and lost in the dark, it's an issue, but that only happens in movies.
A movie shouldn't be that blurry. Did you tell anyone? There could have been a technical error. There is no home viewing that approaches the resolution of a movie experience. Or maybe you have a vision problem you didn't know about that interacts with 3D.
it isn't cruise control. Auto pilot is supposed to operate at posted speed limits and does a lot more than just cruise control.
"Supposed to", says who? It does more than "just" cruise control, but then so does Honda's cruise control. Other makers are adding features to their cruise control. Tesla added a new name to differentiate from the others that do almost the same thing, but with a much more complicated name.
Autopilot is a speed keeping service that other makers have a similar function, and all others call it cruise control. It's cruise control with lane keeping and distance keeping and brake assist. But, others list all the features separately, and Tesla lists them under a single marketing name.
So it sounds like your technical complaint is the marketing name for the feature.
Tesla is in the process of increasing the capability of its radar to create a sparse point cloud, not entirely unlike lidar. This would give more detailed information about the direction of individual radar echoes, as well their speed relative to the car. This would seem to make crashes like the one mentioned here less likely.
I read that the truck was correctly identified in size and shape, but the case of a low-hanging sign (perhaps by damage) wasn't considered or was considered and rejected as too unlikely. But that the system incorrectly didn't recognize the hazard, while the sensors gathered enough information to identify the hazard. The height angle was correctly recorded, as was the distance. The numbers both were in the acceptable range for a sign, but also calculate a crash hazard. There will be a software update, not too far off, that will correct for this.
No, you don't get it. You don't get to define "autopilot". The autopilot system in an airplane, where the name came from, can't communiate, and doesn't read signs. So how would that be a requirement of an automobile "autopilot"?
It's more of a "tries keep the car in your lane" device.
And since "lane hold" and "lane keep" and other similar names are taken, why not call it something different? Like "autopilot" a system that'll fly you on course, even if that smashes you into another plane.
I had neglected those, but under policy at the time, they weren't "foreign" countries, but US administered countries, according to the Treaty of Paris. Most of the precedent set for Presidential acts of war without a war declared were in response to Vietnam, because it wasn't generally done before Eisenhower invaded and seized control of the Vietnam government (whose party later blamed Kennedy for "starting" the war).
Nope. In this case, they aren't looking at the design of the door, but the guy who pushed "close" while Harrison Ford was under it, and the lack of process to seal off a set while people are building/testing dangerous props. The guy who made the door isn't in trouble, at least as far as the news around this indicates.
BB is also the only one that let you own your own messaging server and run everything through there, with encryption they had zero control over. That makes it 100% better than everyone else.
A corporate side hole would be unknowable until used. You can set it up to remote wipe and all that. And remote background backups and such. So how would a researcher be able to prove that Apple can't take the phone, update the settings for only that one IMEI to turn on background backups, then decrypt the backup server-side? Oh, you can't prove that hole doesn't exist. The only reason we think it doesn't is that Apple says so, and the FBI and Apple worked together for a massive publicity campaign to "prove" it to the world.
You never design something like that on set. If the actor misses his spot, and improvises, but the shot is lost because a door in the background didn't shut, you'll get fired and blacklisted unless the safety measure was ordered by the director (and they generally don't bother with that).
I assume you walk through no doors until they have been locked out? How do you mange to go to a store with all those automatic doors that aren't locked out while you travel through them?

So you don't watch Walking Dead because there exists news? That's the dumbest argument I've ever heard.
He's changed his mind so many times, you either have to take him at his word now, or nothing he's ever said (including now) matters.
He has a history of being against abortion. He was even against it while pressuring his mistress to get one.
And in that case, the blur is in higher resolution than you can get at home.

He's pro-choice, but thinks that women who have abortions should be punished. You have an odd definition of "pro-choice".

I've never seen a cruise control system that would obey the speed limit when deliberately set above it by the driver.
