So the benefit of WiFi speeds can be used for extremely low bandwidth needs, but not high ones. Great, I'll be much happier that my 50 byte messages go over WiFi after a couple minutes than over 3G immediately.
Nothing that requires a full computer hooked up to the TV will ever be popular outside of geeks.
Plex, which started as a simple port of XBMC for Mac, has morphed into a much more impressive architecture. They separated the media management into a server component allowing different clients to consume it, including Mac (seems a Windows port is coming), iOS, and soon, LG TVs and Blu-ray players. You can read the developer's vision for it here:
My fellow Americans are so stupid. This is a British thing. We measure buildings by stories, they do it by weight. The better question is why doesn't the summary say multi-million-kilogram?
Steam is pretty much DRM done right as far as I'm concerned. Obviously it would be preferable not to have it, but if you must, Steam ain't bad. I am still amazed they're going with a buy once, play any platform model for their games. I was fully intending to buy Half-Life 2 all over again to play on Mac but I won't have to. Valve rocks.
Welcome to the modern stock market. I learned this the hard way with some Apple stock recently. During the downturn did Apple's profit fall? Nope, just kept rising. So what did the stock do? Lost over half its value just because everything else did. Fortunately for me it recovered for me to break even by the time I had to sell it but if you had looked at it logically (a dangerous thing to do with the market) I should have made out.
That's not entirely true. Heuristic analysis is used these days which is designed to find viruses based on how they work, not by definition. Accuracy on the other hand...
It would be interesting if enough unsophisticated users who unknowingly run bots decided that something like the iPad is "good enough" for them and they got rid of their PC. I say would be because it's not going to happen.
But to answer your questions, very casual users, and iPhone OS.
The only issue I've ever had (in over 6 years with the card) was when my wife and I were out shopping separately and we both bought multiple hundred dollar items. I just got an automated call a couple hours later that spoke the 2 merchants, let me press a button to confirm and that was it. But I guess I couldn't tell you if they froze it at some point within that time.
While that's a sweet little demo and I can think of plenty of applications for it, videos are not one of them. I don't know about you but I don't tend to move around the room while watching movies. There's also the little issue of filming. Stereo vision is all that's necessary.
Oh but to answer your question, well, somewhere along the way marketers changed 1080p from being HD to Full HD so....Full 3D.

That's not really true any more, it's just different. But I know what you mean, I still use Firefox/Firebug at work but Safari at home.
Step 1: Ditch Firefox. It's become a cow. Unless you absolutely need some extensions you can't get elsewhere, try Chrome or Safari.

I think that would have to be "garbage collected."

I feel I've been trolled, but Microsoft beating Netscape into submission was not nearly as exciting as the 5 way competition we have now.
articles broken out over 15 pages like everyone else
You should give Safari 5's Reader feature a chance. I read a 12 page article with no interruption, effortlessly. It's beautiful.

Oh I bought and brought my average down but I had more on its way down than I could put in. If you're so sure of your strategy why not do it for real?

Sadly, Microsoft has a working fungicide but they refuse to ship it until next Tuesday.

Discover passes all these, except for being Discover. I'm able to use mine for 99% of purchases.

Well, if you do end up going with your wife, I hope it works out for you!
Really? Hmm. I always thought the projections when using polarized glasses were the same as normal but with 2 projectors.
I don't see why you couldn't wear the polarized glasses and just see the movie as if it was a normal 2D projection.

Completely agree, especially if you mean "inherent" instead of "inherit". Carlin's Sanctity of Life routine nails this.
