Quote for Truth. That's basically my only gripe about AppleTV. No freaking Amazon Streaming. I get Amazon Streaming on my PS3 and my iPad and iPhone, but not on my AppleTV WTF? Why wont Amazon support AppleTV? While the 1st gen Apple TV didn't do too much for me, since buying a new AppleTV last year, I've almost all but stopped using Amazon Streaming because I can't be bothered to switch over to PS3 just to watch a couple TV shows on Amazon they don't have on Netflix. The Man in the High Castle pilot was the sole exception over the last couple months. And the "recommended" way to watch Amazon Streaming on Apple TV is to use AirPlay -- a BS proposition, since you're streaming from the internet to one device, then locally restreaming to the AppleTV -- way to clog your network. Perhaps I should cancel my Prime Membership when it comes up -- I'm not buying so much off Amazon these days and not using their streaming service at all since buying my new AppleTV unit. When HBO GO does become available on AppleTV for $15/month the benefit of the "HBO Collection" on Amazon will be lost.

Seems the solution for Vietnam would be all to easy: Simply remind the US that you kicked their asses and took that base fair and square and that if they have a problem with it, they are free to come back over and have their "operation freedom" shoved up their ass all over again because they are allied with both Russia and China and the party raising most of the tensions in the "region" is the US who keeps demanding that the world do as it says or "else".

Yeah, there' plenty of rip-offs out there, but some high end audio products are really worth the money Just a few months ago I shelled out $500 for a digital audio enhancer that sits between my receiver and amp You can really hear the soft roundness of the 0's and the 1s are so sharp and crisp.

I can only imagine it's so that Intel can sell you a special "SSD Data Recovery Pro SUPER-DUPER XD3 Turbo" enclosure that will flip some bits and allow you to obtain read access for the low low price of $199.00

Then what good would the "up to 70 years after the creators death" do? Clearly Copyright law was intended to allow the artist's children and grandchildren to live off the royalties and never have to work a day of their brilliantly productive and culturally enriching lives. This ruling will allow the descendants of Marvin Gaye to continue in their efforts.

Yeah, because the Samsung smartwatch has literally rocked the world. Seems to have dropped off the radar after it's initial hype, which was mainly about how they beat Apple to the punch. Now days, no one gives a shit about the samsung smart watch. And Motorola? They don't even matter anymore. And speaking of Timex. Compared side by side, that Samsung looks more like the cheap ass Timex as far as "smart watches" go. http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ... http://cdn.macrumors.com/artic...

After all, what is a "virtual currency" but a "good" to be exchanged? All in-game credits should be prohibited from being used to pay for items outside the game or being exchanged for cash Trading goods or services for other goods or services? Also should be illegal, since how can the Government monitor such transactions? Cash should also be made illegal, since it can not be immediately tracked and might be used for nefarious purchases and most importantly, privately held cash destabilizes our glorious economy by keeping it out of the hands of the almighty Financial Institutions who can use it to invest in hedge funds and conduct other sound business practices like lending it out to other large institutions or buy up massive tracts of property to mortgage to Wealthy Chinese Citizens thereby keeping our economy strong.

The only legal means of paying for goods or services should be with a Chip and Pin implant on your hand or forehead.

Seems in the last couple of years tech companies have adopted the notion that a Developer's time has no inherent value and that a job candidate has nothing better to do with their day than spend 11am till 5pm at their offices in an "interview" and that somehow offering "lunch" make it ok. Hell, I've even seen one or two companies state that they put all candidates through a 3 or 4 hour "coding test"! Seriously, it's disrespectful, demanding and FUCKING DEGRADING. It presumes that I as a person have nothing better to do with my time. It presumes that I want a job so much that I will be wiling to do ANYTHING to get it. It presumes that somehow by making someone waste their entire fucking day in your offices, that you'll somehow be better equipped to make a hiring decision. Being that I only casually consider FT jobs with companies WHO APPROACH ME and am happily SELF-EMPLOYED, yes, I do have better things to do and any company who expects me to spend more than 2 hours at their offices for an interview is promptly given an immediate decline. And no, coming back around to "try to work something out" is off the table, because I've already seen your culture, and it's toxic. No amount of beer kegs and ping pong can hide the vile cesspool that is your company's core. But, seeing that this practice is fast becoming the norm, I shall probably remain independent since it seems a lot of tech companies are just fucking toxic with abusive management.

It's CLIMATE CHANGE, not global warming and you seem to agree that the climate has been changing and you even go so far as to attribute climate change as having some impact by man (the romans)

So it would seem you agree with the scientific community in that many aspects of CLIMATE CHANGE are man made, while others are entirely part of the Earth's natural process.

What? You didn't intend to agree with the scientific community? Well better hurry back on over to cliimatedenialforjesuswiki.com to find new "talking points" to shitpost on /.

I for one shall make a point to post as many links from my mobile devices as possible If only because it rustles the jimmies of crotchety old assholes like Zontar the Mindless, bearer of the most accurate nick ever. iGadgets are prevalent, and soon shall be the most common means to access web sites. Get used to it or get used to be ridiculed for being an clueless old fart too stupid to figure out how to use a "view standard version" link or to realize that most sites automatically redirect to the standard version when a desktop browser is detected, as the parent's link did.

So, to make "fun" of it is ok and protected, to pay homage to it is despicable and a violation of their "rights"? Dude -- just wow. Nice to see you have zero value for creative expression and free speech

What is Parody if not to amuse? And what is amusement but entertainment? To say the only form of parody is the sort we see on Saturday Night Live would be utterly limiting and disingenuous at best. This is clearly a piece of "Fan Fiction" and should by all intents and purposes be covered by fair use since it is not a commercial work, and was created to amuse fellow fans of the Power Rangers. Perhaps instead of calling their lawyers, the copyright holders should have called the creator of this piece to see about putting together a deal to bring this to SyFy as a Galactica style reboot. But hey -- they're assholes in suits and more about "protecting" the rights they've secure from others than "creating" anything new with those rights.

No privacy! Every file upload must be monitored and scrutinized and reported to the authorities! This is how we will defeat terror and keep the children safe!

I mean, TuxKart is great and all, but c'mon does it really warrant it's own fork of Linux? Talk about bloat.

I think Season 1 Ep 3 of Black Mirror just about nailed the future of the global workforce smack on the head. The rarified elite will control 99.999% of the global wealth while the rest are used as a captive consumer base, forced to watch ads and rewarded in credits for providing energy to help provide "green energy" by toiling on exercise bikes all day and/or by being used as entertainment in reality tv or porn.
