For live broadcasts this is true, but Playstation Vue has built in DVR functions and allows you to search and sort by shows and "catch up" and skip through all the commercials, effectively blurring the line between a channel-based service and a show-based service IMHO. I've had a few weeks and find it a pretty good balance for me as I get most live sports (non-blacked out NHL!) and shows I like DVRd like Netflix. Worth it to me but not for everyone of course.
I had a Pentium 90Mhz with 8MB running OS/2 Warp so I could run RemoteAccess and FrontDoor with FidoNet and a whole bunch of doors. I was in high school and my dad got me a seperate phone line for it. OS/2 allowed me to keep the BBS running while I did other stuff and nothing slowed down (much). My friends with Windows 95 at the time didn't have such luck.;)
Most games in the mobile market the last few years have been following this formula. Appeal to the human desire to gather and collect things, get them hooked of going through motions of it and then run microtransactions at them later when they are fully addicted.
Gabe and Valve keep talking about innovation but it's now been nearly 3 years since they floated the piston box prototype and with this new announcement we'll be waiting for another prototype in spring 2014. Exactly how long does it take to build a special purpose PC? That is all this Steam Machine is after all, correct?
The last time I paid attention to what Valve had to say it was Gabe back in 2010 or so talking about how with the Steam platform they would be delivering small incremental updates to Half-Life 2 instead of the "lengthy" episodes or even longer Half-Life 3 box sequels. Sorry Gabe, but 2014 is around the corner meaning it's been 7 years since Half-Life 2 Episode 2. You want the industry to follow your company's lead with Steam and games on demand type development then please lead by example.
Slashdot Mirror
Just like Atom.
Reminds me of "Write once, run slowly everywhere."
I'm in Austin (the 2nd city served by Google Fiber) and I still can't get it in my home.
If Google can't get this done, who can?
Pretty sure that's all been moved to Facebook a while ago.
Agreed. I made this comment a few weeks ago.
Because this sounds like Snopes but for actual journalism.
I noted earlier this year that Slashdot has been inundated with Microsoft articles about minor Windows 10 topics, seems to be the case.
Waist-Deep Cats always gets me.
Just making an observation, but seems like lately this site runs a much more noticeable amount of Windows and Microsoft headlines for some reason.

Netflix doesn't do sports, nor does it have to deal with the complexity of local blackout rules.
The Chelyabinsk meteor from 2013 was about 20 meters in diameter, this one says 7-16 meters.
Sir, the odds of this hydraulic door being live and crushing your leg are 60000 to 1.
Phones are the size of mini-tablets these days and you're telling me there is no more room for a headphone jack?

We'll never get into space with that kind of attitude!
The currently supported Mac version is the antiquated Lync 2011.
The Skype for Business for Mac is supposed to come out 3Q 2016.

Yet another reason to keep Location Services off other than it drains my phone battery.
This is why restaurant franchises hire managed services companies to handle all of this.
So essentially an elaborate method of sending a clear text sequence of numbers (port numbers) to the server to allow access.
I've always thought the itinerary of national events in the US should be as follows:
Make all three days a mandatory Federal Holiday:
July 2nd: Federal Income Tax filing due (instead of April 15th)
July 3rd: Election Day (Instead of Tuesday in November)
July 4th: Independence Day
Many problems solved, IMHO.
Are people using their Xboxes as PC replacements?

Suddenly millions of people cried out at once when they realized they haven't used a PC expansion slot in over 5 years.
The "PC enthusiast" scene has been quietly dying for years.
I'm sure the books were so good that even without the success of the World of Warcraft game this movie would've gotten greenlighted.
