For text only books, I find a regular 5/6" Kindle works fine and is comfortable to use for hours. I can set the font size to whatever I find easy to read.
For books with graphics or color, I use a 10" Android tablet. The battery life is good enough for a couple of days use.
I don't see how this product could fill more than a small niche. There are other tablets that you can draw on. How many people need a device that has such a large screen but only renders in gray scale with no color?
"there is nothing that will fill up 10TB of space - even all the movies in the world won't fill it."
Ahem. A blu ray disc holds 25-50GB of data. 10,000GB (10TB) is only enough to hold 200-400 blu ray discs.
Well, depending on your DNA it can make your body able to stretch really far, make it able to produce flame, make it invisible, or make it extremely hard and rock-like.
Windows update categorizes patches as either important or optional. The KB3035583 one is in the optional list. I've got updates set to "let me know, but I'll decide when to download them".
Am I safe to download the important updates and ignore the optional ones, or are there trojan horses among the important updates also?
You ever watch a movie that supposedly has a good ending and wonder then what happened? In Logan's Run the lifeclocks were destroyed so you'd think it was a happy ending where nobody had to die at 30 on Carousel any more. However, the computers controlling the city were also destroyed, so you have a city full of people that may not have a clue about such things as farming or how to feed themselves. They've been bottled up in that dome for decades or centuries, so do they know how to build shelters? Can they build power stations? Electrical systems? Can they produce heavier clothing for when winter arrives? Do they even know what winter is? They apparently reproduce by external means, so are they capable of doing it the normal way, or did the computers have them sterilized in order to control the population levels?
Happy ending, or quick extinction by starvation, freezing, disease, and other factors?
Actually the deer in my neighborhood seem to pay more attention to traffic and cross roads more safely than the children do. I have actually seen a deer look both ways before crossing.
I avoid Unity like the plague. If they want to default to providing a "smartphone" interface on my has-a-keyboard-and-mouse, doesn't-have-a-touchscreen computer, there are plenty of alternatives like XFCE, Mate, Cinnamon, etc.

Only an idiot would reply to this thread. ...oh, wait.
Wait. I thought Flash was the cancer that was destroying the Internet.

And can I make creepy crawlers with it?
And thought the question was about Republicans.
Shhhhhh!
So both Intel and AMD have basically given up on increasing clock speeds and all we're going to get in the future are more and more cores?
Depose the Libyan government or fail to depose the Syrian government. It doesn't seem to work well either way, does it?
"Can you describe this radiation?"
Well, depending on your DNA it can make your body able to stretch really far, make it able to produce flame, make it invisible, or make it extremely hard and rock-like.
Rover? Now you're claiming we put a dog up there too?
Is it redundant to say "currently current on the current schedule"?
until some minority driver tries to speed away and the cops chase him down and shoot him over an unpaid parking ticket.
Leave it to a show about a time traveller to rip off a series that didn't start until three years later.

They're having trouble finding a dot matrix printer to format them on.

Just because he likes to use a catchy assumed name doesn't mean the rest of us have to observe it.
The software would also have to handle the driver who goes for miles with his turn signal on.

I meant 10mph although 10mpg is probably correct too.
