It's easy to see which side is up on a USB cable as well. It's just that the computer manufacturers can't seem to decide which of the four ways they want to orient the damn ports. If you reaching blindly behind the box trying to plug in a Thunderbolt connector you still wouldn't be able to tell which way the port is facing without feeling it.
Then you'd have to include Japan in that. And England. And most other nations that realize that there's nothing wrong with vocational schools, and that some people are better off going to one of them instead of college.
So how does it work? I go to Starbucks, which I've visited before, joining the router that I've approved before. I start up a connected app - one that isn't Safari or Email - and a frame (for the lack of a better word; a stripped down version of Safari with only Forwards and Backwards and a blue cancel button) slides in, showing the Starbucks portal page. How does the iPad know to bring up that frame with the portal page rather than just letting the app say that it can't connect? This is in opposition to my own wireless router (well, the one that isn't hooked up to the broadband modem), where the iPad will associate with the router but the app will throw an "unable to connect" error. What is it checking?
According to him, it's even worse because it's doing the same thing as Windows 7 does - trying to reach a specific Apple website, and being able to figure out if there's a portal that it needs to pass through - without providing a means to disable that method.
The difference being that folks who already own Macs want to do whatever they want, just like before, whereas nobody in the world has yet to buy a Chromebook or Chromebox from a retailer.
The problem with that is...well, as they say: if two people know about it, it's no longer a secret. I mean, just look at the leaks about the bin Laden operation. The original hope was that zero details would leak out. Now we know the dog's name!
I think you're dismissing him too easily. By that token, the Queen of England doesn't really squat, and England would go on just like normal after her passing with King Charles (eugh...).
What did you get arrested for? I'd have thought they'd just deport you rather than have you spend enough time at a detention center to have a meal there.
As an owner of a Fujitsu U2010, which has a 1280x800 screen measuring 5.6" at the diagonal, the answer is: not too shabby, being equipped with a thumbstick and touchscreen. Basically it should end up revolving around how decent that pointing thing (looks kinda like a trackball?) works out.
The Kindle should be able to display and process books from retailers other than Amazon, so that Amazon does not have so much control over what books people are able to obtain
I hate to be *that* guy, but there's already an ereader that allows you to display and process books from retailers other than Amazon. It's called the iPad. You can read Kobo/Borders and Barnes & Noble books on it, as well as from other stores as well. Don't like the iPad? There's the Motorola Xoom. And the LG G Slate. And Samsung's Galaxy Tab and Tab 10.1. And the Dell Streak 5, though that's getting a bit on the small side. You could even hack the Barnes & Noble nook to run other ebookstore apps, making it the cheapest option.
Right from the start Amazon was upfront about the Kindle only being able to purchase ebooks from Amazon, and they offer multiple ways of getting ebooks from them. This isn't even like the iPhone, where you can't run iOS apps on non-Apple devices.

DisplayLink allows one to connect monitors via USB.
Only if you've got SATA 3 onboard. SATA 1 = 1.5Gbps, SATA 2 = 3Gbps.
Yeah, you're right about England. For some reason it still stuck in my head as vocational-friendly.

PRODUCING renewable energy is relatively cheap and easy. STORING renewable energy is not.
Cockroaches seem to be fairly successful even without having a sense of purpose.
So, the iPad is automatically bringing up a frame in my because it detects a page wanting to be loaded?

From retailers other than Amazon? Which ones? Would any of them happen to be recognizable by the average Kindle user?
The UH900 isn't bad, except for the non-convertibility, which relegates the touchscreen to gimmick status.
Where's the spec sheet? Can't seem to find it.
You could probably pick up a used Fujitsu U820 on eBay for less than $500 and install Linux on that.
"Handheld" and "full keyboard"/"full-sized keyboard" seem to be at odds with each other.

Windows wasn't designed to run at 1024x600? That's news to me, considering that minimum res for Windows 7 is 800x600.
Which is why he referred to the U810 first, which has a 5 inch screen. I happen to own its successor, the U2010/U820.
Generally speaking, trials have always been open to the public.

To be fair, it seems like they're at least not deleting copies from Kindles.
