I've found my TV and receiver on a few times when I was sure I had turned them off. I love that Chromecast can tell the receiver and TV to come on and select the proper input, but I'd prefer it limited the behavior to when I was casting something.
They don't actually say how long it would take. Maybe it's just as cool as downloading 500 HD movies or something. The statement is sort of like "It goes 50,000 MPH, the equivalent of flying to Mars."
You mean the glasses they claim it's "green" to recycle (by whatever definition they're using that word) rather than reuse them a dozen times? I'd much rather have the opportunity to let them rip me off once for a decent pair in my prescription.
I could imagine having the normal version of OS-X that you buy, and a "free" ad-supported version. Maybe even one that runs (legally) on non-apple hardware. It would be a great way to entice Windows users to try it out - and buy the full version if they like it.
Prince's record label is NPG Records - which is Prince. He can produce as many copies as he likes. He has a global distribution deal with Sony-BMG music - they are unhappy because he is allowing free CDs to be distributed through another channel.
BTW My wife and I saw prince at Madison Square Garden and each of us - and the rest of the rather large crowd - got a copy of "Musicology," the CD he was promoting at the time. It is on NPG Records - his own label and mentions no distribution company.
The giveaway was mentioned in the ads and nobody made a big deal about it.
The article seems to say that this is a promotion for The Mail On Sunday and that this is costing them some undisclosed sum of money. The CD will be available for free (as in beer) to readers in the newspaper but Prince will be getting paid (probably quite well).
This will probably put The Mail On Sunday in the hands of many who don't normally read it and the Prince CD in the hands of many who would not have bought it - a good promotion for both parties. The intended result being increasing Mail readership and sales of Prince's back catalog.
The record stores can't see past the possible loss of sales of the new CD to see the benefit of the promotion - they will also alienate customers who miss the promotion and wish to purchase the CD.
Anyone remember firefly a.k.a. HOMR a.k.a. Ringo? Created by some MIT grad students sold to Micro$oft and killed? That was a recommendation engine that went back to 1993. I still have a t-shirt.

YMMV
Is that the rating for the device consumption or does it have a switchable outlet on the box that can handle a 36" CRT?
Worldcom came out of bankruptcy (with about $5BN in cash) and was purchased by Verizon afterwards. If that's going under count me in.
MCI didn't go under, they became Verizon Business and ditched the poison Worldcom name.
Talk about overly broad, isn't a coin a device that can be used in a game of chance?
Disney needs to build some Jedi Temples in the UK.
If evidence of football is causing brain damage, proof of it may cause heads to just explode.

The Vampires will be going public any day now.
Isn't this serious enough to warrant a 2.0.65 release that patches this too? There are still some applications that won't support the 2.2 branch.
Finally they've found a location where they'll be the best pizza in the neighborhood - until anybody else shows up.
Don't forget dog nose-prints.
I wonder how the software will interpret that.
I can't keep the kids smeary fingerprints off the car windows now.
The top 2% of earners will be given 5G instead.
I had one die in my parking spot a few months ago. Maybe it ate a bad rat.

Here's a link to some more coverage - a couple more details about what they're planning.
I'm seeing a market for a USB SysRq key - just a single key with a rotatable USB connector on it.
I use Openfire with Psi as a client and it's fantastic. Including SSL/TLS connections to the server and PGP keys for individuals.
