I don't want to pay for a bunch of stuff in my actual TV that I don't actually want.
Reminds me of the "Microsoft Tax" when buying a new PC to run Linux.
I agree. New advances don't necessarily mean complexity, just more choices. Sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes it's a bad thing.
Gives a whole new meaning to "crotch burn" doesn't it
So Majel should have put a patent on it huh!
But what upsets me about Android and Samsung is that the phones and the platform just suck. I hate developing on it. Terrible architecture, 1990s state of the art programming language, poor performance, terrible tools.
Well after developing for both iOS and Android I can honestly say that NEITHER have the development process down pat.
I hated Objective-C when I started but after a while I didn't mind it. Compare that to Java well I guess you're between a rock and a hard place.
No matter what camp you're in, you're never going to please EVERYBODY. Just accept it!
I agree. The idea that your hardware is going to be fantastic even 6-12 months from it's original purchase date is delusional.
I expect that future hardware will perform better and have done so ever since buying my first 486.
I can't imagine why people who buy Apple hardware expect anything different!
Perhaps the patent examiner should be compelled to testify in IP cases where the patent is questioned.
Now THAT'S an idea!
Besides, you will need to be able to recharge it anyway, so why not look for something that can be put on a table with a long core for recharge?
TBH I think the OHS people would shit themselves if they ran into tablets connected to long cords for recharging.
I think the better idea is a kiosk which has more functionality, connected to power and is less likely to "walk away"
One good reason why computers can do more work than people is that they never have to stop and answer the phone.
