And most of the steps are still required for other devices. iTunes is not more complicated than other solutions and integrates with Airport express devices, Apple TVs, allows sharing the library with other devices and controlling everything with your iDevice.
Some people prefer Android devices, I prefer the integration Apple offers. To each his own...
Recording TV is not a typical scenario. Besides, at around 8GB/hour (HD), that's around 2000 hours a year, which is little more than what my BeyondTV machine does, and its 3TB WD green is still alive and kicking. You just have to disable the insanely aggressive head parking on those drives otherwise they might die...
You can fit a lot of savegames on a memory card. Besides, Cartridges and optical discs were better since games had to be more or less bug-free. Now with HDDs in consoles they are selling alpha material and patching afterwards.
I've had multiple 500-1TB drives fail (bad sectors and reallocations) in the last 4 years while my SSD (OCZ) is still kicking even if it spent half its life in a XP machine without any TRIM support. The spinning drives were Seagates and WD Greens.
Last summer I dismantled a whole bunch of HDDs for recycling, and you can see modern drives are cheaply built (no dessicant cartridge, less filtering and other stuff). That's the price to pay for the capacity race.
My mom has an android tablet and whenever we check what an app (mostly games) asks for, it's astounding. Why is a game asking for contacts, call logs (ok, in her case not a problem), and other info? some info like geolocation is fine (at the limit), but Google really should do a big cleanup.
Say what you will about iOS, but being more restrictive about what an app can fetch is not a bad thing.
Please explain why a MacBook wouldn't be compliant while running Windows or Parallels? I'd like to explain that to my friend running Windows CAD software on his...
I could be mistaking, but I'm pretty sure a streaming service already knows what people are watching. Can anyone bring those guys into the 21st century with a cluebat?
Nuclear power is much cleaner than coal, I don't know if Hydro is cleaner (what we have in Quebec), but CANDU reactors are clean (they can burn other reactor's waste).
I really don't understand the fuss about nuclear energy
Mod me down to hell if you want, but I remember when Yahoo was the big search engine. I remember seeing a friend's PC doing the smooth transitions because he had win 95's fun pack or something, and he was using Yahoo (and I kept telling him to use hotbot)
(I was still using OS/2 at the time with with win 3.11 wfw)
This is not different from standard taxis (at least in Montreal). The permit is over 200,000$, so the drivers still have to work their ass off to make a little money.
This is (again) lobbying instead of competing. Uber is not the first victim. Aereo was pretty much shut down, and there are countless other examples.
What about taxi companies writing their own applications and provide the same service?
"What makes you believe that trains require any less security checks than a plane? Sure, today that might be the case but when you think about it both are equally vulnerable to terrorist attacks"
You can't fly a train into a building. Besides, a terrorist attack on a train won't have the same psychological effect (which is kinda the goal of terrorists)
Slashdot Mirror
Blaming the same countries they're outsourcing to because it's less expensive? (and killing local economy since the staff is part of the outsourcing)
Besides, how many people just throw old pills in the *garbage* ? I'm pretty sure that's the main reason for drug resistance.
Please share the info, I'm pretty sure other people here live in (or near) Montreal.

So that's where the company's name comes from...

Only 3 of my albums were bought on iTune, yet i've *never* had anything deleted in the 10 or so years I've used ipods and iphones.
They mostly were older consumer drives ranging from 20 to 320GB (still had dessicants and other nice stuff).
The big surprise was when I dismantled 15k fibrechannel drives. The engineering was pretty amazing (and the magnets are really kick ass)
You can fit a lot of savegames on a memory card. Besides, Cartridges and optical discs were better since games had to be more or less bug-free. Now with HDDs in consoles they are selling alpha material and patching afterwards.
In other words, people who grew up with consoles are still buying them...
PCSX2 requires a lot of horsepower for some games (ie: some of them are unplayable even with a Core2duo running at 3.8)
Not my experience (thus far).

That's BS. I recently found many smaller USB keys and SD cards that haven't been used for at least 5 years, and they were all fine.

"and now a grand jury who had ALL the facts"
ALL the facts given by police?

That's why :)

Dropping boiling oil on people?
Because nuclear is bad?

Seriously. (and it's not only in US). If *any* person did the same thing, the courts would be all over them. But when NSA or CSIS do it it's OK?

I guess OEMs are keeping them alive as big companies are switching to alternatives
