Gee, I thought the announced price was $315. Could be for $270 you are getting a cheap Chinese knock-off made in the left side of the Nike factory instead of the right side. You do want the REAL ones!
From Nike: "The LeBron X is inspired, both aesthetically and metaphorically, by the diamond, a precious and nearly indestructible gemstone. The shoe is engineered to prioritize responsiveness, impact protection and dynamic containment, all required for LeBron's unique skillset.
Combining four of Nike's most innovative technologies, the LeBron X features dynamic Flywire technology, Hyperfuse construction, Nike Plus functionality (though there will also be a non-Plus model) and the first full-length visible Zoom Air unit."
Clearly every kid needs this technology or their friends will make fun of them.
Speaking from a US perspective, there are other choices of Chinese sneakers that are far less than $300. Of course, you might not get "Hyperfuse" construction.
Way back in the '80s, my daughter had to have $50 Reebok sneakers. These were expensive at the time and lasted one week. Lesson learned.
Say this out loud and see how it sounds: "My kid needs $300 sneakers!". Does this sound good to you? Then you have the mind of a five-year-old and are still waiting for your golden ticket from Wonka.
"Microsoft issues yet another patch to its quantum communications system to prevent hackers from eavesdropping on encrypted signals. The updates will be issued on Tuesday, but they might not be..."
People want things to be perfectly safe, with no chance of a an undesired outcome (think of the children etc.!). Given the instant communications available today, even one accident in a population of 300 million (US) will become known to everyone and is cause for worry. Safety will end up trumping every concern including privacy. See the Sept. 2012 issue of the IEEE Spectrum for an article about how smartphones will nanny us in the future.
This is like trying to fix a car over the phone. What size bolts? What are the materials involved? Galling of threads?? Is bolt softer than the piece it's screwed into? Is a photo of the offending parts too much to ask for?? They don't really want our help, do they?
Yes I could see this. You want to do WHAT!!! Drive your own car?? Whoa, way too dangerous!! Step right into the Space-iPod and don't worry your pretty little head about all that driving stuff! Eeewww!
I have this copyrighted chocolate chip cookie recipe. It's the only copy written in English. Because you know it's not possible to make another copy of it.
Bank transfers need to be free. Right now they are so expensive in the US that you can't use them except for large $$$ purchases. Try to buy something from eBay Germany. Many sellers do not use Paypal or take credit cards or checks because they have free bank transfers. So you have to send them cash in the mail. Last time I did that, the cash never made it (big surprise).

Just don't piss off the judge or a "Moron Alert" will flash over your head.

And then you would have to sell me an iPhone. Urrp.
The Slashdot party page isn't on Facebook so it must not really exist.
Gee, this is almost the same acronym as the wood-insulated gate write-only memory, the WIGWOM.
I think the Cray 2 could print something and it anticipated the future by not having USB or an SD card slot.
Love my '72 2002tii touring!
No surprise to me. This is expected when you have scientific investigation of religious beliefs.

Cell phone crappy camera instead of a good camera. And now: TA DA!!! Watching video on a 7-in screen. I'm too old for this nonsense.

The President would surely get maple syrup from New York or Vermont! USA!!!!
I find the App Store objectionable.
I think strategy, strategic and empowerment are the most abused words in businessland.
Please stop saying things like, "using water for fuel..."!!!!! Water is not fuel any more than the ashes from a wood fire are fuel.
Yet I continue to not need or want a tablet or smart phone. I am reading this on a dying platform. Sniff...
