The newest generation Skylake and Kaby Lake u-series processors default to a 15w TDP and can be configured as a 7.5w TDP-Down. This gets you a full powered Core-i processor, not a weakened Atom chip. Is this device still a hampered weakened Atom-type chip or have they added some IoT centric features to a Core-i?
I had troubles pairing my old Series 3 HD Tivo, requiring a visit from a Comcast technician. I currently have a Series 4 Premiere and have been able to perform a self-install without difficulty.
There is a documentary on Costco that delves into this phenomenon. Choice paralysis is a thing, and that is why there are few choices amongst product categories available at Costco.
I wonder how this will fare for ATI. While both ATI and Nvidia sometimes have issues with drivers, ATI seems to have them constantly. There is also an issue of their drivers never quite fully uninstalling when you choose to uninstall them. For example, they leave a storm of entries under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Video, along with unremoved *.pnf files in %systemroot%\inf. If you do not clean those out between driver updates, you will have problems.
ATI was lauded in the past for (finally) evolving to a monolithic driver set (catalysts) back in the day, however they still have work to do.
Overall I think this is a fantastic idea. This is excellent motivation for driver manufacturers as the system is no longer binary.
I have tried Napster To Go. Napster's software is horrible. Not Microsoft's. Their customer service is also nonexistent, and extremely slow to respond. They would take 2 to 3 business days to respond to my problem reports. Cancelled after one month.
I am now using Yahoo Unlimited To Go, which I believe uses the same Microsoft technology, and have not had any problems yet, 3 months into their service.
In group policy, add/remove it to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates. Can also disable floppies, cdroms, etc. Oh yeah, right-click -> view -> filtering, uncheck "only show policy settings that can be fully managed".

What's the deal with all the WSJ links lately?

This is true. Words With Friends will stop playing audio, and must be manually closed and reopened to fix it.
