or Canada for that matter (Canada has no rail service outside of the Toronto-Montreal corridor, it is cheaper and faster to go to Seattle and take the Empire Builder to Chicago and then switch trains than it is to The Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto directly.)
I ended up taking an overnight bus from Montreal to NYC, then catching a plane from La Guardia to Seattle and then a bus to Vancouver.
Still cheaper than travelling from eastern Canada to the west directly!
We're talking drivers here. Things like power management and hardware accelerated media playback.
If these things require APIs that only exist in Windows 10, Intel can't code around them.
So assuming the computer did actually boot in windows 7, graphics might display in compatibility mode and your laptop might only get 3 hours battery life instead of 7.
On the flip side, 'legacy' drivers for Windows 7 won't take advantage of innovations in Windows 10.
Another website claims that phones burst into flames *while charging*. So its the phone trying to feed in too much juice rather than the battery otherwise spontaneously combusting during normal operation. So a battery with higher tolerance may solve the issue. Bad batteries vs flawed charging procedure?
What you call bloat, others call functionality. If Mozilla tried this in Firefox, this discussion would be 300 comments long, so it's refreshing that its competitor gets called out for 'unnecessary' stuff.:)
If you have a Chromecast, why wouldn't it see much use? Not everyone wants to plug a 3m HDMI cable from their 12" laptop to their 50" telly every time they want to watch a youtube presentation.
What would concern me as a FOSS-weenie is yet more closed-source stuff being added to the Chrome platform. If it got added to Chromium with an API to make it simple to plug in non-Google streaming protocols, it could be used with more backends. But since world domination is the key...
Yes, it's a likeness of a living being. That rights to likeness should only apply to persons and not to cats is human chauvinism at its worst.
Anyway, if the company licensed the cat meme for a specific iced coffee beverage and not for other products then I side with the cat's guardians on this one.
If I buy a Nexus device it will come pre-baked with Google crapware, 90% of which I'll never use. And then every 3 days or so notify me that 9 of those applications have been updated. Is MS Office inherently more evil than the Google suite if you want to open a Word attachment on your phone?
If privacy is your thing, buy a generic device, and flash cyanogenmod with f-droid.
FWIW, I use Outlook on Android because Google can't write an email client. first aosp, then GMail and now some concept interface with Inbox - they all suck.
If rPi3 is an official AOSP build target, is there a market for a $75 smartphone with lifetime software updates supported by the community; One Phone Per Child, anyone?
(Yes, I know others have tried and failed with opensource phones. The closest thing currently seems to be monohm's crowdfunded runcible but it's out of the price range for all but enthusiasts.)
Don't buy hardware with non user replaceable batteries.:)
I could have spent a grand on a shiny new macbook but purchased a $50 Core2Duo Toshiba, supplemented by a $25 battery off ebay - no warranty but still going strong 12 months on.

Removing all subsidies to fossil fuels was on the table at Paris but, surprise, voted down.

What if Tim Cook offered to buy Ireland for â1 in echange for moving global HQ to Dublin? :)
Skylake would not reach the price point for a 'tablet'.
this Atom: $27.
Core m5: $281
Well if Google wants to get into a dick-measuring contest with the iPhone then other manufacturers will take up the slack of missing features:
Audio jack (to be removed in iPhone 7), FM Radio, removal battery, SD Card, robust cheap black plastic housing that doesn't require a stylish case.
Cheaper *is* better.
Their website says:
*Out of stock
But after all these years Dana Scully is still hot though, right?

2012, actually.
But good luck to her owners. I've had 5 cats and never monetized a cent off them.
New Zealand, mate. Different continent - no kangaroos.
I'd be cheering for Gul Dukat over those wimpy Bajorans.
I've watched that movie and the only chick on the mission didn't survive the journey.
Make sure you do like Charlton Heston did and land on a planet full of mute cavewomen.
Then again, Carly ran for the Republican nomination and has very few fans on here.
No, it isn't; not a Latin word. If you were going to be pedantic then the Greek plural is, alledgedly, octopodes.
Of course why anyone would run Powershell on Windows when it runs natively on Linux...

It's actually 'Elon' but he got fed up with people asking him about the new Tesla.
These aren't Lumias, they're Android-based.
I thought people only threw Windows through windows.
Nice place, I'm more of a fan of Asturias or Gipuzkoa to be honest. :) Waves!
