Comment It's Wrong (Score 5, Interesting) 101

Chess.com has the ability to analyse game play. The statistic most telling for me is the accuracy of play. My son has been playing for the past 5 years and we have seen his accuracy increase slowly during this time. He also wins state and national competitions over the board. Yet he is playing and being beaten by kids that we have never heard of who are racking up 97% accuracy. And when you bring it up with tournament directors they have no recourse - they're not prepared to sacrifice the entrance fees for future tournaments for the integrity of the tournament. Suffice to say we can't wait to go back to OTB where these kids will never be seen again.

A pure monitor and multiple streaming boxes. A master media player, and all other media player/cable boxes able to operate as a slave to the master. Any box can assume the role of master, but the master controls which channels I watch, not the the slaves. I want one remote control that lets me flick between all the channels and adjust the volume on the audio system, also a slave. And I can have many of them connected also. If there is one thing I can't stand about the entertainment systems of today is the need to have 4 (my brother has 7) bloody remote controls. And having to set the TV to one input and watch a channel over there. Then switch to another channel on another entertainment device. Oh, and I want to be able to listen to a "CD" off an MP3 player while I watch the football on the monitor.

How about change cellular networks to be about data, and voice just one app that runs on our smart devices. The app (lets call it VoIP) then chooses the best network to make the voice connection - the wireless network provided by the telco or the wireless network provided by my wireless modem router connected to ADSL (or NBN in Australia's case - yeah right).
