You'll just be adding another system to maintain. Just buy a network attached drive, much simpler to maintain and smaller to book.

I know that Western Digital (my book) has software to share with iOS devices at least. Maybe Android, too.

As an (newbie-ish) author, I resisted the urge to review my own book, but I had spent a bunch of time reviewing other books thinking that it would be a nice way to find people of like mind and thereby interest them in my own writing. All my work deleted, so it seems.

I have to stop making the mistake of using websites owned by big businesses.

I think you've nailed it. This L.A. Times article talks about the twenty years it took for Technicolor to really take from black and white:

Add to that that the oldest color film (very short, mind you, but most were) was in 1902, and you have a fifty-year adoption cycle from black-and-white to color.

Further, the statement, "I haven't yet encountered a director of photography who's genuinely enthusiastic about it." is meaningless in terms of the future of films (Historically, DOP's have far less power over such choices than directors and producers), but offers additional correlation: Very few, if any, DOPs successfully made the transition from B&W to color.* Most of the good color work came from a new generation.

* Take this as you will; I got this from a documentary about Wings of Desire, but can't seem to Google up supporting evidence just at the moment.

Stick it in the case with eight-core processor, then play Call of Duty for five hours.

He's probably just hoping to attract The Woz to New Zealand...

Uniball Signo or 207 RT, or anything with the UMR-1 0.38mm cartridge in it.

This was me...

The best comparisons I can think of are other major software mergers: IBM and Lotus, SUN and Netscape Server Division. Of course, both of those were massive failures. It seems to come down to this: a company is ailing, so another company buys them either thinking they are going to fix them up or cannibalize them.

I can't see why MS would do a better job of handling Yahoo's business than they did, so while this merger will give MS a boost, it would probably be the end of Yahoo.
