Going for my model S test drive next week. Still not sure whether the expenditure is sensible, but if if not I'll hold off a year and go for a model 3.
No other manufacturer has a sensible alternative. Indeed everything else on the market at the moment is a conventional car with added battery.
Makes me think of times in the last century when people would line up in the hope of work for a day. There are bleak times ahead for us in the middle, when there will only be work for the unskilled (who have to do anything) and for the elite (who make a few decisions about the masses). I love what mechanisation and robotics has done for us but fear its future.
I prefer a basic Debian instal for cleanness, stability and security, though it was nice to see the window controls in a sensible position when I used Ubuntu for those occasional multimedia installs. Ah well, nothing lasts for ever.
The cable will be very lossy at those frequencies, but far less lossy than air. If you have a spare antenna connector on your router, connect it to the coax. At the other end make a half wave dipole with vertical polarisation of a length suitable for the band your Wifi uses (google it). It'll only be a few centimetres whatever. If your router doesn't have have a spare connector, make a dipole (as described earlier) at the send end as well and place it close to your router.
Years ago I used this method to get network access when some numbhead decided to move my office to the other side of the site. Luckily it was a TV station so there was plenty of point-to-piont video coax.
Idly browsing one night, I discovered that all access controlled had been switched off our corporate network. Yes I could even open the CEO's home folder. It didn't take much brain power to realise that if I looked any further there would be time stamps on files that matched my shift time, so I didn't go any further (despite being curious).
I waited until the morning and phoned a relatively junior IT team member and explained the security lapse to him (on the basis of anonymity), who then escalated the problem.
The result: The problem got fixed. He got a pat on the back for discovering the oversight, and we became good friends.
I'm an apple user and I don't trust them an inch, I check everything meticulously. Yes I had an early LG touch phone - it was rubbish. Apple will get an OLED screen when it's able to buy them from Samsung, will it be any advantage? I don't know. I'm waiting for a kind of colour transreflective screen that works in daylight. Now that would be a big step in reducing power consumption.
I agree that is a dumbass comment. I'm willing to bet that no large manufacturer (who's still in business) depends on a single supplier for any individual part.
It's really irritating, like saying "London, England". If it's not the main one or original one then fine, qualify it with the locale, otherwise it's just a waste of breath.
I've enjoyed a plasma TV for about 10 years and have been particularly unimpressed by the LCDs that superseded it. This year in Japan I saw the new generation of affordable OLEDs and realised that this is the technology that most likely will satisfy me. The colour is pretty close to correct (no I can't afford a Dolby monitor for home, though I have them at work). Without a reference white light (as used in my industry for accuracy), my eyes will adapt sufficiently to accept the small inaccuracies for home.
BTW for those with the "more resolution is better" obsession, I suggest you consider the frame-rate issue, in terms of quality perception. There have been many studies that suggest that extra bandwidth is better utilised in increasing frame-rate than absolute resolution.
Two things come to mind: 1. The LG service centre probably wanted to see the infection for themselves so they could learn how to help other customers who may have the same problem, and 2. After giving the TV a "first birthday" reset, there may be settings that they have to apply to make it customer-ready.
On the up-side the theatre has a wider colour gamut and a light level that allows your eyes to appreciate that range. It also offers an immersive experience that is practically impossible at home.
The downside is the popcorn, chatting, coughing and phone users.
It will be digitised and then stored on 2 different tape formats - currently IBM TS1150 and LTO-6 in Spectralogic tape libraries. There are systems for regular data integrity checks and a migration path.
I took my 3-years old 5 to the Apple store (UK) last year with a swollen battery that was pushing the screen out of the bezel. I was expecting a repair bill, but was surprised that that they agreed to replace it for free. I was so pleased I bought a 6S for myself and gave the 5 to my wife to replace her ageing 3Gs. Everyone happy - including Apple!

And don't get me started about disappearing scroll bars! Just stupid.

Who want's to bet it'll be another one of those faulty cables?

I think that Apple would see this as a distraction from selling you music.

Heck, in the UK we had better than 100mbs twenty years ago, when I was on 56Kb/s dialup. In fact voice was better than that.
Only if we can do it in private!
I've seen Traffic Circles, these can be mistaken for Roundabouts by a non-fetisist.

Soon the secret service will shoot down every pidgin, every fly entering the air space of the white house. Drones are banned already.
I see you are speaking pigeon English - very clever!
I regard this as bolloxing of the law.

I wonder how people who grew up in the DDR (former East Germany) feel about this. The Stasi would have loved this tool!
If it's true then US taxpayers effectively subsidised my iPhone. Thanks guys!

If I get a notice, it will just mean I have to be more careful to switch to my VPN. I don't always remember.
