And come with one game. Other games are in Block 2.

Yeah, Morgan is great ear candy for sure. The Apple one has David Attenborough, the OG (it's amusing watching journeyman narrators dipping and bobbing their heads and copying David's other mannerisms). I've listened to one or two by Tom Hanks, and he's in solid 3rd place.
I was just fixin' to drop Apple because I watched everything that I wanted to see. I wasn't aware of the dinosaur doc so now I'm forced to add it to my Q and keep my subscription. Thanks Slashdot!
I consider it a different kind of intelligence, where people are really good at turning their brains off when it's beneficial to do so.
I go by the Dogbert Maxim: The most import part of the brain for meetings is the stem.
Bingo!
"But say "bingo" after a paragraph of gobbledygook will still get you in trouble."
Once at a large meeting as the suit was speaking, all of a sudden we could hear several "bingos" spoken under their breathes, followed by a quiet wave of titters from other victims at the meeting. PHB was oblivious, various manglers gave various pointed looks, but that was the end of it. We decided that, for the future, discretion was the better part of valor, so we retired our bingo cards. One can push "lese majesty" only so far.
Yeah, it seems like the Netflix one was made with a gaming engine, and the Apple one not.
Well played
Well said.
... we've got another Napster for ya!
Ahh, Napster! We knew ye well! We shall R.I.P. a mettallica musical memoriam about you to CD, once we've found somebody who still has a CD.
And Limewire. The hours of fun using a little knowledge and logic to sort through the corrupted malware/falseflag/poor quality files, zooming in to one or perhaps a small selection to download and listen to and compare. Then watching a global network of computers agree to help assemble those files on my own computer.
In polite company I prefer the more generic "Iceholes".
Abort, Retry, Fail?_
Bring it back Microsoft, that was super intuitive. Since this is the AI era, have Bob and Clippy ask it.

I liked that Shrub had an initiative to focus on going to the moon. Unfortunately the nation seemed to give a large collective shrug about it at the time. It may have been that a response was delayed because Congresscritters and the MIC needed time to set up the appropriate channels and controls for graft.

"Oh, and those competitive costs need to include full insurance."
Those insurance companies will need those years of data to price any insurance appropriately, otherwise it's anybody's WAG. Sort of a Catch-22.
I suspect that we're on the cusp.
At any rate, the trend is away from that style of casino floor. The Bellagio and Wynn casino floors are clean and neatly laid out. The Wynn even has windows. Ditto the Aria.
I would expect a combination, such as little nooks and crannies that allow people to explore (for those who like that kind of thing), and somewhat obvious corridors between the primary dollar extraction hubs (for owners who like that kind of thing).
