I don't really need to see TV in any higher resolution. Really it's just an incremental spec bump so Sony can release a new TV that everyone is supposed to buy, then they can release a new media standard which everyone is supposed to buy, then Sony makes a gobfuck of money and I die a little bit more inside.
What's next, Apple fans figuring out that if you skip the first two iterations of any Apple product you can get the final version with all the features without having to buy and throw away two devices at several hundred or thousand dollars each?
Naaaah never happen.
The problem I have with Netflix is that nearly every show I want to watch doesn't have all the seasons. I like to watch serial programs, so I get about half or two-thirds through the program and find that the last one or two seasons is missing, so I'm stuck with pirating the last episodes if I want to see the rest of the show.
I think the idea here is to give people who don't have $100,000 lying around the opportunity to hold that piece of paper in their hand so they don't get rejected for jobs by uppity hiring managers with old money degrees.
I fit into a demographic where I make too much money to get financial aid but not enough to go to school and pay all my bills. It's a paradox because I can't get promoted without a degree but I can't get a degree without making more money.
You might be getting angry about the wrong problem.
Solyndra didn't fail because they were greedy selfish twats, they failed because a Chinese company invented a superior product at a lower price point just befroe Solyndra was slated to go to market.
That's right, you give him four years of free room and board, three square meals a day, free access to health and dental and psychiatric care.
That'll show him who's boss.
Mint has now come full circle: It was originally rolled up when Ubuntu stopped distributing codecs, now it has a codec free version. In other words, it's a distro based on a distro based on a distro that no longer has a purpose. Contribute upstream.
It's funny how the US thinks they're going to waltz in and shut down a conflict that has been going on for as long as people have lived.
Really all they're doing is stroking the clitoris of conflict.
You can't stop conflict in a culture where misogyny and racism are limbic functions.
Another angle on this opportunity that we may not be addressing is the working conditions at Amazon fulfillment centers.
Workers in Amazon's fulfillment centers often complain that they are "held to unreasonable metrics" and that they are "worked to death and then fired."
Employees are required to work through burning heat and freezing cold with hand held computers constantly nagging them that they're moving too slow. They have to run from pick job to pick job all day long.
One report claimed that:
"So many ambulances responded to medical assistance calls at the warehouse during a heat wave in May...that the retailer paid Cetronia Ambulance Corps to have paramedics and ambulances stationed outside the warehouse during several days of excess heat over the summer. About 15 people were taken to hospitals, while 20 or 30 more were treated right there, the ambulance chief told The Call."
There are numerous blogs and news stories on the matter, I'll share just a few.
I have noticed that the smarter someone is the simpler their watch is.
The most brilliant minds I know in Silicon Valley have cheap Cassio or Timex watches.
When I ask them why they say "it's a watch, it tells time."

Can you see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
I don't think that's obligatory and in fact it might be a little callous considering the context.

They're running vxworks and they do have a backup computer. First the backup is flashed and verified, then the primary is flashed and verified.

Most digital TV's already have a DSP built in, why can't we just have them normalize the audio instead of lawyering up?
The Galaxy Note can be plugged into an HDMI port on a television or projector if you have a MHL adapter.
No matter how carefully you plan or how many safety measures are integrated, someone or something valuable will get inside.

You might be addressing the wrong problem. Try enabling bitmap caching.
Perhaps they'll be developing Android compatibility for WebOS.

Did they share that information as well?

Promotes efficiency in the same way that cutting out someone's tongue would prevent them from eating too much ice cream.

They're only beautiful for a few seconds after you push a button. The rest of the time they're hideous lumps of plastic or metal.
