So when you are too old to travel, and on the downhill side of life, who are you going to share things with? I travel with my kids, and fly without issues. I trained them and entertain them so no one has to deal with them kicking the seat in front of them, constantly crying and throwing tantrums, and all the other stereotypical behavior of kids on flights. They quietly sit, eat snacks, read, play games on the tablets, or watch movies until landing. Kids doesn't mean no travel if you make it a priority. If anything, it is fun to do the same things with your kids (granted, can't drink with them until they are 21). It is your choice to not have kids, but I wouldn't blame travel. Many of us travel with kids without any issue.

Same here...I am/was a happy Nook owner. Shame the line has ended...the Nook could read about any format you threw at it, had fantastic hardware specs (including a microsd card reader), and could be rooted if you needed all the fancy apps the submitter is mentioning. No idea how the Kindle destoryed the Nook market when you can take both devices side by side and find the Nook to be quite better (in specs and functionality).

I read the title and immediately envisioned Data hacking PHP code on the Enterprise...

Please don't tell me they are running Windows NT 4.0 in the cockpit...

I thought that was the explanation for all the crazy animals, half of which can kill you.

Now now, be nice to the Australians...

I wasn't aware that Mexico is a South American country.

The US is going so downhill that even Mexico wants to distance itself from us...

That's what happens when the starting bid on their customer database is $0.99...

Maybe it just got out of the pool...

I have only girls. I let them watch Disney movies, play with Barbies, and got them princess and fairy dressup stuff. What was the result? An 8 year old who is perfectly comfortable using a computer and now helping me assemble one. A 4 year old who loves to be active, and tries to take my smartphone apart to see how it works. Further, the older one excels at math, and the younger has already started reading. It is not "girly stereotypes" holding them back...

Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

Close...2% of 100 members is only 2. I am sure both have been notified...

Perhaps the 11 were battle casualties? In which case...where did the victors go?

Doubtful...Wil hasn't posted on Slashdot in 3 years...

No DLNA? This is simply a less functional Roku device. At least you can do a custom channel to play local files. I wish WD TV would get an Amazon app...but it appears that door is closed with the release of this device. Amazon hasn't realized there are a lot of people with local files as well...not just online app accounts.

Not everyone wants a game console or PC tower sitting next to their TV. Also, having a streamlined deivce with a great UI makes sure the support calls are removed from the rest of the family. Who wants to tell their 10 year old for the 50th time to turn on the PC first and log in before using the TV? Also, I prefer to have a TV mounted on the wall with no entertainment center. These type of devices fit very well without sitting on the floor or running cables to nearby furniture. There is definitely a market...I have 3 WDTV SMPs..
