I was curious as to if he wanted buyer's info for HarperCollins books as well, but it doesn't look like any of them are available on the Kindle. I wonder that's some sort of sticking point in negotiations?
Why do you work for such a firm? No better option? I think I'd feel rather guilty in such a position.
And I don't recall Live originally having ads. In fact, I don't remember any ads at all on the Xbox 1.
The most "brazen" example of in-game advertising I've seen is 1 vs. 100, but that's understandable as the game is "free" (besides the Live subscription). Although it remains to be seen if they will charge for the full version. Seeing as how they seem to be making the game more buggy as they release more builds, I have a feeling it may be in beta for a while yet. I'm also a bit confused and quite a bit annoyed by their advertising plan: run the same ads over and over again each half hour, and only add more ads from the same companies.;
It's obvious that people can't decide what "brick" means. As I and I'm assuming the GP understand it, "brick" means to render a device completely inoperable, making it as useful as a brick. That is, it could not be recovered without at the very least opening it up, perhaps even requiring a chip to be reflashed using a separate programmer. Most people would either throw it out or send it in for repair.
If it is recoverable through just software on the user's end like an iPhone restore, it's not bricked. That would be like saying deleting GRUB "bricks" a computer.
My cheap $10 phone has voice dialing, never bothered with it until now. You have to add a voice dial to each contact from a menu, but from a few tests it seems to work somewhat decently.
Of course, I ignore my cellphone while driving anyway.
I hate those 3D movies. Mainly because they look exactly the same as the 2D movies because I have amblyopia, but I have to wear the annoying glasses over my regular glasses. I went to see Up in 3D as everyone else I was going with wanted to. Last time I'm doing that, it takes a lot of the enjoyment out of the movie. I remember hearing these 3D TV shows being advertised as a kid and being confused as I thought everything was already in 3D.
The local theater scheduled significantly more showings of the 3D version. I'm hoping the trend does not continue, so I can actually go watch and enjoy these movies with people.
I can't find a clear answer as to what percentage of 360 owners have never connected to Live, but this suggests that it's around a third. I highly doubt they'd suddenly prevent one third of their userbase from playing games and dealing with those who buy the game anyway but can't play them just to stop piracy.
And I don't see anyway this would be even possible with DVDs.
The local CBS channel (WWMT) still only shows the SD downlink instead of the HD one. And last time I watched there were green blocks constantly on the screen. Does anyone know how long they'll keep the SD feeds of these syndicated shows?
You'd think it would be simple enough. Just HTTP, XML, and MP3. All of which is already used for UPnP streaming (although that's over UDP). But seeing as how this is Microsoft, they'll probably screw this up. It's unclear if Last.fm, Facebook, and MySpace are actually integrated with the dashboard or separate applications like Netflix. Probably the later, as I don't see any options to activate visualization.
Well, there is a standard for media syncing, but it's developed by Microsoft and apparently not followed. Especially by Microsoft with their Zune, as they decided to ignore the standards they had created and sold to third-party developers in favor of something that only works with their software.
Mass storage mode still seems to work better. Again, Microsoft will allow watching a video on the Xbox 360 from a mass storage device but not a MTP device.
They've been promising IPTV support for a while, I'm surprised they actually implemented it somewhere. Now how about releasing for everyone cursed to use Microsoft's IPTV software?
Are there any anti-virus products that still do this? Norton used to offer a bootable CD to run a scan for Windows9x, but it couldn't use the latest definitions and it has since been discontinued.
How is ClamAV at doing offline scans of a Windows box?
It's not just Fox.
Pushing Daisies, Jericho, I'm sure other people could name many other shows.
I'd argue that being able to watch shows in any order is a benefit, though. That way more people would be willing to jump in to a returning series. It also encourages a series to have a good plot in each episode rather than just overall.
I believe the one I ate at the other day now gives you an hour or so free with any purchase if you ask them.
Of course, I have AT&T DSL anyway, so I can just use my account for that.
I had to buy some plastic components to repair a Dell laptop a while back, so I searched online and got a list of the part numbers I needed. I called someone working for Dell in India, and got the total price I'd need to pay to buy the stuff directly from them [after having the phone rep try to sell me RAM or something]. Turns out I saved a bit by buying everything online.
Their video player is absolutely atrocious. Well, it's excellent when it works, but it rarely ever works. Last I tried (a few months ago), it crashed with IE and loaded a blank page with Firefox. And of course their support form didn't actually submit the request as the submit button was just a link to about:blank. And they didn't respond to my email to the general network email.
At least Hulu actually works.
I get the same emails from Netflix about turnaround time as well as instant streaming quality. Quite possibly because I've been paying for it but not using it that much lately.
It seems more like a positive thing to me. I'm sure they'd stop emailing you if you ask them. Of course I get a two-day turnaround with Netflix while it was more like a week with Gamefly, as the games were apparently being sent between Michigan and California.
I was having some problems with hooking up an external 1680x1050 monitor on an Aspire One. The default option was cloning the laptop LCD screen, and for some reason it made both 4:3 instead of widescreen. Easy enough to fix for one user, but it would be a lot nicer if there were some way to adjust the settings globally from the GUI.
Of course this wasn't the final version, so I'm not sure if the final improves anything at all.
Which it doesn't really test. As far as I can tell, they only tested first person shooters. What about puzzle games like Meteos and Tetris (DS), brain training games like Brain Age and Big Brain Academy, and to a certain extent rhythm games like Guitar Hero and Elite Beat Agents?

They moved that to something different. And apparently it's not available at all in most versions of Vista.

The Zen Vision:M counts a track as played if you play even under a second of it. I believe it will also randomly add plays to songs.
It seems to work fine for Ubuntu Jaunty.
They have a link to "Associated Press" under several of the articles, which brings me to pages with the stories hosted by Google.
Now why would you post the link to buy the book instead of the site with a freely downloadable PDF version?
I believed they've linked to WorldCat ("Find this book in a library") on book pages since the beginning.
If your friend sends you an incorrect IPv6 message, go kick them. That would work.
