The transceiver takes the form of a magnetic bar attached to the rear of the television, given that panels themselves are too thin to house anything of this kind. It would then require a separate power transmitter (plugged into the mains) to keep the TV running.
So you'll get rid of the cord, and it'll need a clunky "base station" - which has a cord.
Sweet.
Which will *also* have the media cable (Coax/CAT) attached and *also* have to transmit the video and audio signals to the display. Won't it be fun to sit in the middle of that RF soup all night. Or... you could simply run the cables to a regular display inside the wall. This seems like a solution in search of a problem.
The world moved on from analog vs digital many years ago, it's now digital vs physical delivery and this one is "all-digital".
Ya, I actually get that, though it still annoys me. Just like using "All New" to describe *one* episode of a TV show -- for example, "Watch an All New episode of The Good Place tonight at 9 pm." (grrr)
... a disc-less Xbox One S "All-Digital Edition"...
Did the previous XBox include a phonograph, cassette or 8-track device?
Otherwise, wasn't it already "all-digital" with the CD/DVD/Blu-ray (whatever) device?

Being incorrect about something doesn't mean one has mental problems -- you judgmental ass. Several people pointed out that, while iTunes used to lock consumers in with DRM, they no longer do this. Sure, correct me because I was wrong -- that's fine -- but there's really no need to be a dick.
... different thermal expansions involved cause the glass to shatter.
And that will change after welding because... ? In addition, metal and glass have different brittle vs. flexibility properties, so using them together seems like problematic use cases.
Regardless of what Apple would have you believe, you don't really *buy* songs on iTunes, you rent them.

... police said the Motorola radios needed frequent updating.
This is the bigger question - why? Do radio signals get stale?
Digital encryption certificates expire and may need to be updated, allocated radio frequencies may change and need to be re-programmed in, and more.
Okay... but frequently? Certificates should last a while, unless the vendor is trying to rip-off customers and I can't imagine cities re-allocating their EMT frequencies that often. Sounds more like a business model designed to generate income for Motorola. I imagine that they're probably locked-in at this point and finding an alternative secure radio vendor *and* migrating over would be a HUGE hassle. Still not an excuse for a LEO to get the certificates illegally.
The CEO of one top VPN company, Silicon Valley-based AnchorFree, told me in a phone interview that he suspects one of his top rivals is secretly based in China...
Uh-huh.
"Look, it's totally not that they're one of my *top rivals*, but..."
Don't know about that. I used to do *hours* of Calculus homework while wearing headphones with the music cranked up -- to drown out other distractions, including too much quite (which is why I usually couldn't study in the library). Don't know if Calculus homework counts as "creativity" though...
I'm still using Lotus 123 -- and WordPro (still a better editor than Word). I have it installed, and they work fine, on both my Windows 7 and 10 systems. I use them for old docs and my current financial/budget spreadsheet. Now, I do *also* have Word 2010 and LibreOffice 6.1.5.2 installed, but have been too lazy to migrate my Lotus docs to the newer applications.
I don't know what my software version/revision is -- it updates automatically every night between 2-6am -- but I'm running on hardware from the 60s -- walking too.
You must be new to the internet. Back in my day,...
Not really... I used Mosaic (and compiled it from scratch) when I worked at the NASA Langley Research Center as a sysadmin for their supercomputer network - many Sun workstations, a Cray-2, Cray YMP, and 3 Convex systems. I was actually at work there the day the Morris Worm hit.

We Will Never Sell-out or Compromise Our Principles.
Kinda depends on what your principles are as to whether this is a good or bad thing for the rest of us.

That was our first choice for a baby name, now it's out 'cause most things won't let you use your name as a password.

You buy songs on iTunes, are you retarded?
No to both.

The company says the jets will cost a "fraction" of a manned fighter.
So... $75M each instead of, say, $85 for the Lockheed F-35. And $70M w/o the undercoating.
