I would trade all of that for one Orion slave girl.

Hell, I don't think that there's anything wrong with the Kindle. When I'm looking to relax at the end of the night, I don't want a multitasker. My Kindle does one thing and one thing only, it lets me read my novels and keeps them synced with my Windows 8 (shudder) tablet at work for when I get bored at lunch. If I want to make annotations, read comics or tech books, I reach for my Nexus 7. If I had to do it all over again, I'd do it with a Nook and use MoonReader+ to keep everything synced. If Kindle weren't first to market with the Paperwhite, I'm sure I'd be a happy Nook owner now.

Now that's an Android app that would give iOS a run for its money.

And in 20 more you'll be teaching macros in Filemaker. But I've heard that the lobotomy required for either skillset is rather painless.

Rinux?

"Don't Look Behind You"

Have you been to California? The Sierras can be ridiculously treacherous. Personally, I'd sooner put my trust in a computer than I would a Texan who's only seen snow on Wikipedia.

If they cast M.C. Chris as anything, I'd probably go on opening night.

It would be one thing if the mod itself were responsible, the Ouya developers have intentionally crippled the console that without being up-to-date I cannot even start an app/game that has an updated version.

It depends on the sport. I'm a nerdy sports fan (we exist!), I split the cost of the Intarweb add-on for NFL Sunday ticket with a friend of mine who has the complete package. My ISP gets me ESPN3 which has a lot of collegiate sports, TNT is doing free streaming of the NBA playoffs, and if you're a basketball fanatic the NBA has pricey online packages that would still come out to far less than you'd pay for a cable subscription. For everything else I have an amplified antenna in my attic hooked up to a HDHomeRun. About the only thing I'm missing is ESPN, and if there's ever anything truly compelling on that, it's off to my local sports bar for a decent dinner and some beer.

As a government employee who has had their salary reduced with forced furloughs every year, I'd tell you to go to hell...but our budget for all things has already been slashed and I can't afford the bandwidth.

I used to love my Ouya. Now, after installing ClockworkMod I can't update the damned thing, which means whenever I'm hooked up to the WAN I can't play half of the apps that I have installed because I'm not up-to-date on the system firmware. I have to reboot the damned thing without the Ethernet plugged in just to fire up a round of Mega Man II.

The biggest problem is that since the Snowden revelations, the tinfoil hat wearers are beginning to sound more and more reasonable.

Seconded for Komodo. At work and home I use it for practically everything, the exception being when I have to spend time in .net land.
