you can't watch live sporting events over the internet jackass
Ahem, Major League Baseball, NBA and NHL let you watch live events online these days, and on your TV if you have their streaming apps on your Roku or other boxen of that ilk. The NFL will probably NEVER pony up with this kinda' thing in our lifetime unfortunately.
This is what they were able to build. Rev 2. (probably when they get to mass producing it) will have better battery life
You say this and yet a lot of us are still having this problem with our smartphones which have come a long way since they were first introduced to the geek public. I think it's time we gave an X-Prize to the person who can create a better battery for mobile devices than the ones that are available now.
I'm sure they want me to use Google+ for all this, or something else (Chrome apps) that they will kill in another year, or just can't be bothered to support (like Reader, at this moment)
Google+ is yet something totally different. It's basically a Facebook substitute which, unlike Facebook, seems to act a bit like a news reader (depending on who you +1). If someone were to combine full Facebook functionality (Pulse and Taptu don't count) with an RSS receiver (audio-video enabled, thank you very much), that'd be a coup.
I dunno...if doing this professionally, I'd say concentrate more on RHEL. From my experience, that is the predominate (if not only) version of Linux out there in big business and govt. server rooms.
Let's not forget that Ubuntu is based on Debian which is just as good a server OS as RHEL is, no LTS policy like Ubuntu has unfortunately.
My own observation from where I work: 67 Ipads, 123 iphones, 35 android based phones, and 1 bluetooth keyboard. The bluetooth keyboard is used with an android phone.
If you're gonna' do that, you might as well hook your phone up to a monitor. Seems like there are plenty of apps out there that let you access or display your phone on your desktop PC or laptop, but vice-versa has been a no-show lately, at least on iOS.
in NYC so many people have wifi that i get better performance with cat5. i got tired of my xbox disconnecting from Live and started using Cat5 instead.
i have something like 20 hot spots around me. 5GHz will be nice for a few years until everyone gets on it as well.
I have that same problem down here in Louisville, KY. The downtown area is chock full of Wi-Fi hotspots. I thought having a dual-band router would help with this problem, but apparently not. The extent to which each device on my network has problems connecting is different (and from day-to-day for that matter), but my XBox hardly has any connection problems. Go figure.
Well, those are certainly some reasons to use Linux from Scratch or Gentoo. However, you haven't given us any reasons not to use Linux Mint except the nebulous comment about "true traditional systems."
OK, here's another one for ya'. Not much of a user base, except in North America (according to DistroWatch). Not to mention all that the Cinnamon desktop offers is eye candy and bogs down my system in particular (fixed that by switching to XFCE).
This is a horrible release and should be skipped. If Fedora continues to go in this direction, I will have to abandon it, despite the fact that the only other decent alternative is Ubuntu, and I despise it. I've been an RH/Fedora user since 1999 or so.
That's all fine 'n dandy if you're into Ubuntu. But if you want to stick with a RedHat-based distro (as is Fedora), you should give OpenSUSE, CentOS or Mageia a look. Given all three a try in VB and they're all pretty nice. Mageia has the newest version of the Linux kernel (3.8.0).
With the department of homeland security recommendations perhaps we can finally move on and get rid of these dinosaurs that are a liability to our employers.
Maybe when Barack Obama isn't president anymore. Right now he's fucking up our economy and I don't see any business wanting to upgrade their computers, no mater what the DHS says, anytime soon.
The originals are what should be modded funny.
The cult of anti-intellectualism has achieved new lows.
Backing up your photos is not a bother. There are a legion of tools that will make it easy and automated and will even ensure that your data is offsite. Doing it manually is also pretty trivial too.
You could simply have a directory called "Stuff I Want to Keep" and just copy that from place to place using the GUI of your choice.
Storage is big cheap and plentiful. Interfaces are shiny and happy. Most people could preserve their most prized data on the phones.
Again, the problem isn't preservation. The real problem is control. What you really have to worry about is Instagram changing it's terms of service or losing your phone on the train.
This makes me think of all the cloud services out there that we can use to do this kinda' thing. Dropbox and Skydrive especially come to mind because they now have smart TV apps. The Dropbox app is on Roku and the Skydrive app is on the XBox 360. Not sure if any such services have apps actually loaded into any smart TVs, but these both let you view your photos on your TV and present them nicely.
As if you needed another reason.
Exactly. Solution? Don't buy a Surface if you want to run Linux / Android on it.
It's so deliciously simple.
I don't like Win8 either.
Guess what? I haven't bought it.
Just more reason to double-down on ultrabooks running Windows 7. I'm sure these'll be going the way of the dinosaur sometime down the road. But these look to be just the ticket for anyone who wants a dual-bootable PC with a near tablet-like form factor
