I've never even seen one, or read someone on a forum or site like this even talk about owning a Chromebook.
Sometimes it takes moving overseas for an American to truly realize how dumb the country's rejection of the metric system was. Then again, that's true for more than just measurements.
If it weren't for Samscum making iPhone knockoffs platforms that didn't merely copy iOS, like webOS and WP might have had a chance in the marketplace.
The main reason is probably to lock you into their store for ringtones and games. Their guise for it all would probably be so-called security. At least that's the impression I got while I was their customer.
Check this out, to actually DOWNLOAD apps from their store they made you pay some sort of extra charge. Paying them money for apps wasn't simple enough. I passed and got busy modifying the firmware in a hex editor.
If you visit a Cricket location you'll see mostly poor folks who can't pass a credit check, and Cricket milks them hard for basic features -- like caller ID. To make matters worse, their coverage rarely goes beyond the city; travel 25 miles out and bam -- no service, no roaming even. It's an all around bad deal. For me I wanted a no contract plan since I hoped to move overseas.
Trying to cancel my account was a pain. The customer service people on the phone kept offering me new deals of some sort -- totally ignoring that I've moved to an area without coverage, and I reiterated that fact repeatedly.
I was with Cricket for a couple years. I bought a new phone from them on one occasion, and when I asked for a data cable, the salesperson asked what I intended to do with it. I answered "sync my addresses" because I knew that was the answer she was looking for . . .
When did Cricket switch from CDMA to GSM?
I stand corrected.
We're going to spend the next 10 years as a nation obsessing over guns in schools. We're going to talk non-stop about arming teachers, arming janitors, putting cops with assault rifles in the halls, defining exactly what assault rifles actually are, glorifying the idea that those with guns stop crimes, making movies and TV shows about the topic, design special gun models for school protection, and perhaps even speculate that students themselves should be allowed to carry guns for their own protection.
But on the other hand, the first time any student mentions the word "gun" in class, they're pulled from class, suspended for weeks, arrested, put in psychiatric care and scarred for life. Seriously, this is like one level down from the brainwashing scene in A Clockwork Orange.
Dick's is the place whee the SWASS hang out.
I guess I'll be using Bugmenot with WP like I have with the NY TImes for years.
Modding a Wii is painless. I have a 500gb drive attached to mine and haven't used discs in months.
Not on the second generation Wii, since it lacks the Gamecube ports.
I'm using a USB adapter with my Wii. Nintendo sold one themselves. But again, not sure about the software or the extent that it can be modded.
t'll also be a cold day in hell before I plug an ethernet cable into a TV and give it access to the internet.
My Sony TV supports DLNA. I run PS3 Media Server on my Mac and Linux box and can stream all my movies, with subtitles, without using another set top box. It has Facebook, YouTube and all that, but DLNA was the only reason I bothered attaching a network cable to it. I didn't even want a net enabled TV but the 'dumb' version didn't have as many input options.
Its Skype widget can support a fucking webcam but when you plug a USB keyboard in to use with its web browser an error appears stating, "Unsupported Device." Leave it to Sony.
Sorta looks like something that would summon the Cenobites if opened for repairs.
Life is a healthy respect for mother nature laced with greed.
