I'd be willing to pay for it, but I think Tivo's service fee's are way to expensive. $500 for a lifetime pass, or $15 a month (last time I checked). What are you getting for that? Pretty much just access to the guide. Why is just knowing what's on at what time worth twice as much (nearly) as Netflix's whole service.
I used to run a home brew DVR, and I paid for the guide data then from some company I don't recall. It was $20 or $30 a year.

Daniel_Stuckey writes "In a city like New York, where convenience is king, it can be challenging to get individuals to take the initiative to addressing climate change—that is, until extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy rip their lives apart. Thankfully, New York, and many other large cities have begun to combat global warming on a massive scale. To celebrate such efforts, the first City Climate Leadership Awards ceremony was held in London last night. The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group awarded ten cities for making the biggest and most innovative efforts to undertake green infrastructure projects and to fight the effects of climate change. Here are the winners from last night—and how 10 cities are fighting climate change in ten different ways."

If none are officially supported through Cyanogenmod, you can bet that they are not being pushed updates from the original manufacturers either.
The built in Android camera app has made several giant strides since 4.1. The 2.3 camera, not so much.

The team has delivered a quality, gorgeous-looking phone experience. And its “app” ecosystem is already starting to gain serious momentum (thanks, in large part, to their usage of/dependence on HTML5/JS as the primary software development stack). The Firefox Marketplace is already up to 1,260 apps available. Even if you consider only 1 percent of those apps to be of a good quality, that's still a lot of apps for such a young platform."

Why would you have a requirement of "No touch"?
You don't have to use it, but specifically asking for it to not exist seems silly, you may change your mind further down the line.

Windows 7, Visual Studio 2012, and a couple office programs where simply crushing the 4GB that came installed on my work laptop. Upgrading to 8, made the near constant moves to swap almost completely disappear.
That being said 8GB on my home computer running Mint, almost never get's anywhere near fully utilized unless I'm running games.

The problem isn't really the browsers, it's the standards that can't keep up.
If the browsers had to wait for the standards to be finalized, IE 6 would still be relevant. If the specification is incomplete what are you supposed to do, watch your users switch to a different browser, or implement the proposed feature in the best way you know how.
Maybe the standards need to move to a rapid release cycle?
