AH. Good point. But I was thinking that Amazon might remove airplay in order to boost the sales of their box.

The ios7 client can always be altered to remove this functionality.

Hi! We're looking for a new Receiver, and it should probably have about 20-30 hdmi ports.

Both news sources are similar in that they are best avoided.

Ironically, capped bandwidth actually makes sense with wireless...

Since you care to differentiate a hatter from a hater, perhaps the word you're looking for is "blackhatting". Note the spelling.

Are you hoping that the DRM is challenging enough to be amusing?

Legality is overrated. Then again, so are the Olympics.

Yay for indentured servitude.

Or alternatively,

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I wouldn't trust them to properly differentiate between a scientific boondoggle and useful scientific research.
Maybe this facility is useless, maybe it's not. But the NTU doesn't share an agenda with those who would fund a program of basic reasearch in this country.

Computers can be helpful, but they can also annoy. Depending on my mood, a beep can be annoying, or it can be informative. A spoken warning can be more informative or irritating when I'm a bit snippy.

For some reason, probably having to do with the raised button on its current case, my ipad will , out of the blue, occasionally wake from sleep, and inform me that "Siri" [is] "not available".Because it's a wifi model, this is not entirely unexpected.

But if it could somehow understand that this normally useful message is inappropriate, that would be lovely.

I suspect that programmers are not always aware that English words are not mere constants, with precise, unwavering definitions. Someone once told you that a "kit is an unassembled collection of parts, requiring a soldering iron and dedication to assemble", and now you have fixated on this idea, unaware that others do not share this unwarranted precision.

Perhaps you should start reading a british tech magazine, such as The Register, and wean yourself of this idée fixe?

I do my best.

If you ask kingston, or crucial, or micron for a "kit," they'll know exactly what you mean. It is a useful term of art.

Slashdot exists to waste time. I should know.
