"Which "better players" lawfully support iTunes purchases?"

Winamp, for at least a fucking decade.

And in benchmarks, they perform pretty much identical, despite the bandwith disparity.

Which, if you paid any fucking attention to systems architecture design, means that somewhere else on the CPU is the bottleneck.

" But try taking any one of those cheap tablets and connect it neatly to your TV and let me know how that's working for you. I am betting none of them have HDMI out capability at that price point."

Uhhh, yea. Works just fucking fine, cost me $99.

Could you shut the fuck up about things you obviously know nothing of?

" I think you're missing the whole point of the tiny form-factor and what is it best suited for.'

Yea, portable devices. Not attached to a TV port in the back that is effectively blocked with so much fucking shielding that getting any sort of reasonable signal to it to control it is practically impossible...

"It has an USB2.0 port. That would do for Keyboard and mouse. Maybe."

If 480Mbit is only good for keyboard and mouse, I don't even want to touch any software or hardware you design, EVER.

Yea, and lemme tell you, with most shit on the backside of a TV, and all that nice shielding in the casing, it's a fucker to get a wireless signal to reach and be received.

Tried one. Already sent it back. If I need an extender cable to make a plug and pray device work, nope, see you, adios.

" We are past the point where 2GB of RAM is enough for even simple web browsing."

No, we are not. You have 'advanced' to endlessly-bloated fucking code due to ungodly high levels of abstraction from bare metal.

1.5GB RAM, MenuetOS, Pentium 4 3.2GHz Hyper-Threaded, endless webpages like Tumblr WORK FINE.

Try doing ASSEMBLY like a real power user Learn to program efficiently, and you don't have these problems.

"MS doesn't like people shipping Windows on underspecced hardware."

Explain Intel's original Atom netbooks, then?

" Chrome, in particular, seems to grow to consume all of my RAM whether I run it on my old 2GB laptop or my 16GB desktop."

Maybe if you didn't use a shit piece of software that spawned processes faster than rabbits fuck, you wouldn't have that problem.

That's about 15 machines too many. What a fucking shitty network design you have, here.

" The only problem I had with mine was that it doesn't have any cooling whatsoever. So when it heats up it downclocks"

Cool, now I know what not to buy and what company to avoid at all costs. Gracias!

FaceBok Hello? Uh, yea. About that. Firefox just introduced 'Hello' as a voice and video chat solution.

So, no, FaceBook. No Hello for you.

Mozilla has your ass dead to rights, and I hope they sue and REFUSE to settle.

When you censor out so much potential subject material for use in a game, you think you're going to have as viable of a market base?

Get yourself glasses. That's a nickel. Quarters have scores all the way around, like dimes.

That octagon functions as a transmitter/receiver for I/O and Power. Only needing ~40nanowatts of power to operate means it can pretty much run off ubiquitous stray wi-fi/radio, as whatever frequencies and harmonics that antenna can receive.
