The U.S.. and a bunch of exiles still pissed about losing their wealth from when they were Battista cronies, have a serious hate-on for Cuba. Until the Castros are dead and Cuba is a slathering U.S. lapdog, the U.S. and CIA will actively sabotage any development there.
They'll be able to bully Netflix and Google/YouTube right out of business. With that much power, who's going to stop them? It's sure not going to be Washington (from the CNN article):
Analysts also point out that Comcast is remarkably well connected in Washington. In fact, its chief lobbyist, David Cohen, was a guest at the White House state dinner for the French president on Tuesday night.
I had a college prof who used to tell freshmen and sophomore programmers that clearly had no acumen in the field (male and female both) that they needed to find a new major. It was harsh, but he was usually right.
Not for me, thanks. Two of the things I love about consoles are never having to check "System Requirements" or upgrade to support a new game. If I wanted that, I would just go back to PC gaming and playing the never-ending videocard chase.
To me, the Steambox looks like the worst of both worlds.
You obviously haven't priced a rental car lately. The figures simply don't add up. Electric costs SERIOUS money over gas, no matter how you cut it. Most people just can't afford it.
A MythTV hack isn't going to get you easily extractable, searchable, licensed, broadcast-quality video that interfaces directly with pro video editors. This thing is designed for a pro market, where $250,000 isn't much money for this sort of tech.

Ah yes, just like Saddam Hussein.

No, it's just an indication that the biggest and most ruthless pricks are the most likely to get, and stay, rich.

Do people not read the news or weather forecasts or something?
Unfortunately, some people's jobs force them to go in, even in a blizzard.
In all fairness, it was a *CATEGORY 2* hurricane. Ooooooh! LOL!
No kidding. Here in FL, that would barely have qualified as a rainstorm
That looks like a bank run to me.
Fuck beta.
A console for Android games?? What a clever and original idea!

I wonder if there are articles on fashion industry sites lamenting the lack of heterosexual males in the fashion industry.
If a tree falls in the woods and no one knows what kernel it's running, does it make a sound?

Reagan proved deficits don't matter.
You just tell yourself that when the Dollar crashes.

Chicken, meet egg.
Exactly. Hard as is is to believe for the prosperous folks in Silicon Valley, Austin, Seattle, et. al.-- but most of us can't drop $60,000 on a toy.
Let me know when a used one is in my working-class budget range, and we'll talk.
Senior management arrested, stock plummets, company liquidated. Example made.
The person adding the metatag rotting in a federal prison?
Is there a yiddish word for asshole?
"Abelson"
I wonder if Abelson's grandmother ever taught him about human decency, dignity, or shame?
