Yeah, I would have guessed it would be more like 4 or 5 units

My company was willing to consider getting me one to use as a screen while flying and traveling (which I do a lot of). So I got the demoit was ok. I’m pretty all in these days on Apple, and I used to work in AR, so you’d think I’d be a perfect customer. But it just didn’t seem worth it.

Hey, I'm the viewer. I read the parts of the books I like and skip over the parts I don't -- skim boring bits, jump back and re read.

And if I want in the middle of your video I can get up and walk out of the room!. Or read a book.

Take your conrtol freakery and bug off.

I really liked that little MacBook; it was so light and tiny I it felt like I wasn't carrying anything. Used it in clamshell mode on my desk and when traveling all over the world. And wrote probably 100K lines of C++ on it. Got a 15" MBP from work, didn't like it, and went back to small.

Holmes is a childhood friend of his daughter's, or daughter of his childhood friend or something like that, so he has known her all her life. I can't see how she could have been funded any other way.

Though this is america where people don't give jobs or security clearences or such to their relatives and friends.

Sorry I wasn't clear that that was my point: this is a product for people who have broadband, all of whom already have internet-connected devices. AT&T's box does nothing for such people *and* does nothing for people without broadband (a group AT&T is plainly abandoning).

If you already have broadband, you could just run a directv app on your existing devices or buy an inexpensive one.

Though I did get such an app (att watch tv) bundled with my phone service and itâ(TM)s terrible... so maybe their capacity to write one is limited.

I liked the combination of "...responding to ... consumers' concern about the environmental impact ... That means adding bubble envelopes". Those bubble envelopes are a glued sandwich of polyetheline and paper, which can't be recycled. Good job adressing environmental concerns, Amazon! I'm sure Scott Pruitt is thrilled.

Please bring me free dinner oh and yes, you must pay me for the privilege.

ipad.

Iâ(TM)m the opposite: Iâ(TM)d much rather just have a big block text so I can read it and enjoy it rather than have to move my eye all over the place to get around these pointless pictures that get in the way.

But I know not everybody is like that. I wish âoereader modeâ really was about reading and would strip all images out

I dunno, I happily replaced a blackberry with an original iphone shortly after launch, and used it for three years.

And to be fair, Andy did found Danger and Android, so there's some pedigree there.

Yes, you can transport Ethernet over HDMI. What a disappointment if the receiver or cable box or whatnot acted as a router. I suppose you could block the MAC from your DHCP server but how many people will know how to do this,

Just don't connect the TV itself to your LAN.

True. But the brand is softening due to mainstreamng of ts niche. There's a perfectly reasonable alternative scenario in which AMZN purchased infrastructure (warehouses, distribution, shops) and supply chain (a lot of the "organic" stuff is just product lines of the same multinationals like Nestle, Kellogs, Coca-Cola etc) and didn't have a high value for the brand.

Still makes the ideas of mixing stock-taking robots with customers absurd, I'm just talking about the idea that amzon wanted the brand positioning of WFM

Ha ha, had to look that one up!
