A previous Microsoft PR Rep said that a banned account loses full account access, including to downloaded games, just like the Xbox 360. Just because the story has now changed does not make the old information a lie. It just means that someone isn't keeping up on the day-to-day changes recpgarding Microsoft's policy changes on an unreleased service.

Well, it *was* used just last week for the Oklahoma Tornado.
With regards to shootings or a bear in town, DUH! Do you really expect this to be used as a "news source"? Also, zero difference to the Emergency Broadcast System, just now putting it on an iPhone. Oh wait! Someone rush out and file a patent!

Philips has had these for a year or so (their Hue product), and their price point is quite a bit lower than this new offering. Amazed why someone would buy a more expensive product from a less known company who will be less likely to fulfill warranty requests 25 years from now (the warranty duration).

I'd personally think that the concern with jailbreaking is that "When someone can have arbitrary code execute persistently on their phone simply by receiving a text message, or visiting a website" then there is probably an issue with security. Basically, an attack vector for a virus to infect what is essentially a computer.

However, there is no reason why someone who installs their developer tools and loads a certificate onto their device indicating that it is for development shouldn't be allowed root access on said device.

I wouldn't really call a Xeon or Dual AMD FirePro GPUs "Laptop Hardware", however putting them in a barely serviceable enclosure surely is laptop-esque.

According to the product page, it sure doesn't look like those are standard GPUs, as well as it looks like they go from dual socket Xeons to single socket, mounted centrally so the entire system would need to be disassembled to replace the CPU, if it is even replaceable.

From the imagery posted on Apple's website, it looks like a Mac Mini++.
Apple: Mac Pro

My fellow Earthicans, we enjoy so much freedom it's almost sickening. We're free to choose which hand our sex-monitoring chip is implanted in. And if we don't want to pay our taxes, why, we're free to spend a weekend with the Pain Monster.

ArcGIS works *VERY* well for this task, especially when it comes to planning for new runs and forecasting costs.

I don't know about you, but I am shocked! *ONLY* 3 months?

No, the problem with Agile is that it promotes a mentality of "it'll be done when it is done", where vague double-talk is allowed to thrive. As such, customer service tends to suffer. Everywhere else in the world - outside of the siloed developers living in their Agile world - timelines matter.

People *need* to know even a vague timeline of "will it be this year?"

Agile purists tend to frown on this, focusing more on your rolling releases where it doesn't matter what you ship as long as you ship. Could be a couple bug fixes, could be an entirely new database schema that mandates a re-write of connectors that allow for other departments to interface with a vendors app... you never know until you check the release notes.

First, there is an expectation of privacy inside one's office, and secondly Kentucky is a one party notify state when it comes to recording, so one party to the discussions taking place in the office needed to know that they were being recorded. Public records searches don't apply here.

Either that or the gigantic push for immediacy has been hurting the newspaper industry for some time, and relying in a professional photographer fighting through crowds with an SLR, only to then pull the memory card, put it in a laptop, find the right pictures and then upload them along to the office for processing, cropping and adding to an article takes far longer than "click, and it's already waiting on your computer" that you get from both iOS and Android anymore.

Print journalism is turning into a blog.

DVD is 720x480 vs Bluray which is 1920x1080. The sizes are wildly different.

$5000 for a 31.5" monitor with a 3840x2160 resolution?
$800 gets a 30" monitor with a 2560x1600 resolution.
$1400 gets a 50" TV with a 3840x2160 resolution.
$2200 gets a 15" laptop with a 2880x1800 resolution.

Sure, none of these are directly comparable, but at the same time it's disappointing to see Asus at such an extreme price point.

The concern with the stated metrics is not that the electric powerplant emissions being included, but that "total footprint" includes all the way back to coal mining techniques while the total footprint of gasoline vehicles stops at the gas tank.
