The original Halo was available on PC but most of the later Halo titles are only on Xbox. The latest fps Halo game is only on Xbox. Halo Wars is on the PC but it's a RTS.

However, all Microsoft Studios 1st party games are now supposed to be part of UWP and available on the PC. The next fps Halo game should also be on PC as well.

Yes and no. Xbox doesn't support a mouse and keyboard setup. However, there are some expensive third part devices that will fake it. These are controversial though since they provide an advantage and one of the big reasons some people play on consoles is that everyone has similar hardware.

Also many people on consoles aren't sitting at a desk and don't have a place for a mouse. It's more comfortable to sit on a couch in front of a tv than it is to sit at a computer desk.

No, they have the correct incident but are just referring to it as the wrong type of ship. There have been multiple ships named USS Yorktown but the one that was in service in the 1990s was a cruiser. There have been 2 carriers named USS Yorktown, one was sunk in 1942 and the other decommissioned in 1970.

It was originally reported that the ship had to be towed back to port but there is some disagreement as to whether or not that actually happened. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

There is a surcharge called the "September 11th Security Fee" for the TSA on every plane ticket. It's just that airlines include all the mandatory taxes & fees with the advertised ticket price. In 2016 the TSA collected about $3.7 billion from the fees which is about half of their budget.

Xbox Live Gold is required for multiplayer. It gives you 4 free games a month. Sometimes the games are good, but sometimes its not unusual for me to not like any of the games for the month.

Xbox Game Pass will give you access to a larger library of over 100 games at a time but you will still need to subscribe to Gold to play multiplayer. Much of the value here will depend on the exact titles which haven't been announced. It will probably be like EA Access where you get lots of good games but not games that have been released in the last 9 months or so.

Again, the titles being discounted here really matter. If the game pass gives you 20% off a $40 or $60 title then to me that's better than 75% off of a $5 title. However, if you were subscribed to Game Pass and have access to a game then you don't have any immediate incentive to buy the game.

It's not as if there are so many oil rigs in Texas that there isn't enough room for wind turbines. The ocean is really big and the Gulf a Mexico is relatively shallow. Most of the oil rigs are built far enough offshore that they aren't visible from the shoreline.

US leads in total wind capacity but not per capita or as a percentage of total energy produced.
total renewables by country

Different countries face different challenges so there isn't really point in comparing wind by itself, you need to look at their entire energy production. A country like Iceland is much greener than the US for energy production but doesn't have wind production at all. If you look at all renewable resources the US is well behind most of Europe. Also China is not ahead of the US in wind production but they have much more hydopower.

Amazon wouldn't but the owner of the book would have the right to reclaim their property. If you refuse they could come into your house and take it back. It would end up being the same as if you bought stolen property, the rightful owner is entitled to get the item back. The only reason they wouldn't raid your house to reclaim the item is because it isn't worth the trouble and expense for a $10 item.

As a sports fan I don't see how this is a good deal. Right now I can watch all of ESPN's content that isn't air on TV with the ESPN app. If Amazon buys the streaming rights I will have to pay an extra fee to Amazon to watch it. I also will have to keep paying ESPN indirectly through my cable company because Amazon isn't trying to buy the rights to the better games that are aired on TV. So to keep seeing everything I watch now I will end up paying both companies.

They don't spend as much on advertising and they don't play nicely with the US Carriers so you have to buy it directly from them. Past versions of their phones don't work on Verizon and T-mobile networks (I haven't read up on the 3T to know if that is still the case). Those things keep them from being as well known as some of the other manufacturers.

I own a OnePlus 3 and I don't have any complaints with it.

OnePlus 3 is $399
OnePlus 3t starts at $439

Its only $40 more, not $100.

It seems to me that with this app you can now watch standard videos with a device that effectively have a large screen, is portable, and doesn't use much storage space.

Without VR you don't have anything that does all three of those. You would have to choose between a mobile device with a small screen for portablity, or a large tv/projector which you can't move to a different room easily.

That seems like a valid use case to me and not something that has to be a fad.

The problem is by colluding with the other providers you prevent customers who want to pay an extra $5 from being able to see it. They end up having to pirate the games or go without watching. If some providers offered it and others didn't then the customer could look at two providers' prices and channels and choose which one is better for them. With collusion both providers will end up with the same content at the same price and you either hurt the customers who don't want to pay the extra $5 or you hurt the customers who want the channel.
