Ban satellites too, surveyors can go back to the good old days of taking poles and sights out into the field. And ban cars that take pictures for Google maps. And ban tourists from taking pictures in front of my apartment. Technology bad, boooo.

Sorry, but there is no Constitutional right to live as a reclusive hermit that is never seen or photographed. Your right to privacy seems to only extend to situations where the courts determine it interferes with the Fourth Amendment, and that's on a good day.

The airspace above your property is public, and not an extension of your property.

It's illegal to fire on aircraft. Even if all local charges are dropped, there is still federal law that defines what he did as a crime.

"I felt like I had the right." .. The FAA's opinion differs.

The downside is that the games will only run when the computer is turned off.

Ha, yea. I didn't buy a lot of stuff for it, but I didn't include that in my total. I did confirm that some things do run on non-Ouya hardware, so I've not really wasted my money. I backed up the APKs for the things I paid for in the inevitable time when Ouya is gone.

I have an Xbox, it died. I still have a lot of games for it, few of them play correctly on the 360.

I have two broken PS2's, I gave up replacing them, they all seem to die if you put a lot of hours on them with RPGs.

Uh-huh. Right.

You know what would be even better news for US tech hardware exporters?

If they didn't have a huge boat anchor attached in the form of NSA built-in backdoors and vulnerabilities.

Really, if you're a foreign corporation that competes in any way with US corporations/interests/research, or any government/organization/individual that US TLAs could possibly even tangentially term "of interest", would you buy stuff from US makers/manufacturers despite what's been revealed publicly over the last 20 years to present concerning US TLA activity within the US tech manufacturing/exporting industries?

Particularly in light of the recent revelations of so many unlawful and/or unconstitutional programs and activities engaged in by US intelligence organizations courtesy of the courageous whistle-blower Edward Snowden, which keep revealing new programs that violate constitutional principles and prohibitions with every new dump from the trove.

US tech companies have to overcome all that (quite understandable and logical) mistrust (good luck!), and *then* compete against other corporations that don't have that perceived millstone around their necks.

This will not turn out well for the US tech industries that need/rely on exporting their goods, and with cheap imports flowing into the US, even those who were national/regional in nature will find themselves priced out of the market.

1. Mining/Drilling - Offshored

2. Steel mfg - Offshored

3. Heavy Industries/Factories - Offshored

4. Artificial politically-motivated limits on energy production and artificially-created increases in cost.

5. ...?

I'm not liking the direction this is trending.

If it roughly parallels past similar historical scenarios, it doesn't end well for anyone in the US (well, except those 'too big to starve'), neither Left nor Right, nor atheists, Christians, Muslims, or whatever "ism" or party you favor.

Tegra 3 in the Ouya is still faster than a Raspberry Pi 2. (RPi2 is faster than a Tegra 2 though)

My hope was they would release an update of Ouya with the Tegra K1. But that never happened. The SHIELD console has a Tegra X1, but the base unit costs twice what Ouya did, so it's a bit hard to justify the purchase. It's certainly more than twice the performance, but is it twice the fun?
