There were important differences, however, rather than hash that out I'll just give you the latest:

It also includes the link to an official PDF.

Not exactly 'definitive' but a source: http://www.trueachievements.co...

It's probably a good thing because the article is misinformed. It's not ALL titles and you don't play the disc. You put the disc in and will be given a version you can download for free (presumably recompiled for x86). The only problem is the initial compatibility list is very sparse at ~100 titles with "more being added" which could mean another handful or hundreds but doubtful that you'll get all you games - especially those they think they can re-monetize.

Yup. The effing bing bar is something I delete on a weekly basis from several machines. Granted it's also stupid user syndrome.

I don't trust Mozilla for a second but Chrome's idea of privacy is to pretend it doesn't exist... even if you block everything you can Chrome still has the ability to send data back as part of its core functionality. To my knowledge they haven't exploited this yet but it's only a matter of time.

A million times this. I really want to give up on Mozilla. They've lost their way and the designers rule the roost. I just don't have any better options. I'm never going closed source again and I'm not a fan of Chrome or Google's concept of privacy.

Tape is great for archival purposes where you're dumping/retrieving streams of data that can be stored sequentially. That's not exactly useful for the needs of an active HDD.

I remember those days too. The reality is though at this very moment I can get a platter drives at $0.03/GB so $0.70/GB does not seem attractive in the least. There are performance considerations and platter drives have fewer uses which is why I think a reasonable price should be $0.04-0.05/GB for NAND.

Call me when prices reach $90 for 2TB+

1) Not likely, the video is on SoundHound's YouTube channel - they're not hiding anything
2) I honestly don't know how they're processing it that fast... it likely isn't cloud based otherwise there would be a delay between upload/process/download... this seems nearly instant which means they either have an insane compression algorithm, a special microphone setup, or are running a local setup that improves speed beyond real world (ie: wifi with the server right next to them)
3) Yes, they repeat some of those phrases in their advertisement... while I'm sure they have some natural language logic, it's likely they're using common questions/web queries to optimize those answers... so while I doubt it could answer something like "Who was the captain of Serenity?" it'll do well with more common queries with easily accessible 3rd party services.
4) Yes, I do. Not the number of days between those dates but the number of dates between specific dates is a function I use. Normally through websites that calculate it for me.

Any recommended settings? It's not exactly intuitive for a non-audio guy.

What's it called? I want to install it! :)

Touche.

First thing is install a new browser, second thing is install adblock plus, the third is to install VLC.

Those friends of flesh and bone, they come over and play video games. It's this fun thing called LAN parties or just co-op gaming... heck even solo gaming on different systems is fun. It's also how I keep in touch with family who live in different provinces/countries. I wouldn't know my nephews at all if I couldn't game with them on XBL.

Who knew it wasn't 1960s anymore?
