I used GTalk on the desktop for a long time, unfortunately they canned it and Hangouts doesn't really work for me as Google still can't get its shit together with multiple accounts (e.g. legacy gmail + Apps domain). My primary email is my apps domain, but I can't train everyone else to message me at the correct address which means I'd need to go through the Chrome "Switch User" every restart.... or I can just not use Hangouts.

Oddly parts of his background were overlooked by everyone. He was CEO of a small ISP at one point and was involved in tech startups until the 90s.

All digital video formats we use are compressed and lossy.

No, because it hasn't been released yet. See my other post for why input lag isn't a big deal.

Latency and bandwidth on a local network should be irrelevant. Sure if stuck using wifi in an apartment you might have issues but in that case invest in a long video cable.

Most controller based games are pretty forgiving for input latency, and I'm certainly not going to sit on a couch with a keyboard and mouse seutp.

For me local game streaming effectively kills the notion of the SteamBox. Why have multiple powerful expensive PCs when you can have one and a $99 low power ARM box attached to your TV.

Is apparently how the average person and media assumed these devices worked.

these guys think they should type $0 everytime they checkout source code from the upstream projects where the vast majority of the work actually occurs?

Probably an Apple user. Its also missing the developer critical keys Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, Delete, Insert.

I'm stuck back on a Thinkpad x220 because as far as I can tell OEMs have abandoned developers with keyboards missing keys.

So no Windows and no Office on February 29th? :)

Is anyone else surprised Staples isn't bankrupt? No one ever goes there and the only time I hear about Staples is when a deal site mentions yet another category is on clearance.

About 5-years ago I was telling my friends that Blackberry needed to port their stack to Android and be the "enterprise" version. Instead "tablets are cool"!

The article mentions this is based on sites compromised, I wonder if this list isn't to some extent self-selecting towards bad passwords. Lower value sites are more likely to be compromised than high value sites like Amazon or Google, and on low value sites people are much more likely to use garbage. Personally I use a pw database but still use junk passwords on sites when its irrelevant if the account were to be compromised.

Wasn't there a paper recently about how walking for 30-minutes countered about 4-hours of sitting?

All collapse eventually.
