I don't think the "remote" device is doing any of the work. Once the Chromecast stick gets the feed, it will be doing all the streaming, or a combination of serverside work.

I think the older Chromebooks might not have the Chrome extensions yet. I can't imagine them not being supported sometime soon.

The Chrome G+ post said this afternoon.

There's no 'i' in Teamocil, at least not where you think.

What if you simply got a business name for yourself? A DBA license isn't too hard to get, and would probably look a little more professional (even if unjust) than freelance.

I wonder if filing a credit card dispute would get anywhere.

I wonder if they plan on unifying SMS and Talk with this platform.

Costco has them for $20 off right now, so $159.

It might be riskier than you think. All my friends knew about the shortage, and their plans to water down remaining stocks. However, Maker's reversal might not generate the same buzz that their initial shortage announcement did. That leaves the casual drinkers only knowing of the watered down Makers, not the "do the right thing" Makers.

...with water.

Plex really needs to make an Android app for the TV experience. Similar to what they do with their desktop based player.

Unless you're on Verizon (unlimted LTE) and can't get Tmo, or won't deal with greater of all evils (ATT).

Plus most of CM gripes with the S3 are related to Exynos SoC and not the Qualcomm SoC.

Their enterprise division is huge, and Office is still a cash cow. They may have to trim some fat at some point, but they aren't even close to hurting.

I grew up in Michigan, and now live in Wisconsin. I've never considered Kansas City, or Missouri/Kansas as part of the Midwest.

Do most people in KC identify with the Midwest?

*Edit: Now that I think about it, I guess I've always kind of considered the Midwest to be the Great Lakes Region, and from the Dakotas on South to be the Plains (with Missouri being more in the South than anywhere else).

I think you're missing some of the major pros for Google... With this new app, they control all of the branding, all of the upstream data gathering, and paid ads.

I heard a cool piece on NPR the other day, talking about the benefits some schools and students are seeing by implementing flip teaching. Essentially, the hour long lectures are presented as a podcast/video/whatever and are to be viewed at home. This allows the students (and parents for that matter) to take as much time as needed, rewind, etc.

Then at class, the students do their homework, with the teacher helping and grading the work.

I'm really intrigued by this, and think there is a future for this method, given how technology has progressed.

How is the overall "star" rating compiled? Is it simply an average of every rating?

I think a hybrid system using Amazon's "Was this review helpful" to add weight to each review. If it's obviously a garbage review, people would vote down the individual review, thus giving lower weight to how it effects the overall average.

Why would you run your startup's servers from your residential ISP?

d2vz2 (Verizon GS3) is fully supported. However, 3G data has issues dropping, until a TouchWiz JB RIL source is released.

That wasn't much of a look inside.

It just seems more natural to fill in a line than to fill in a circle. Your wrist is more stable and less shaky to make a couple straight lines with a marker.

That's much clearer than some of the Scanatron bubble types.

Bubbles seem stupid to me. It's a lot easier and less subjective on review to fill in an arrow than it is to fill in a bubble. Here's an example ballot of what I'm talking about: http://www.town.oregon.wi.us/uploads/ckfiles/images/nov_06_s...

Zero data loss? All the data generated post snapshot will be gone.

I don't want to come across as a comment crapper, but I've been recommending FreeNAS for years now. ZFS is perfect for home NAS purposes.

How far off is the technology to combine this type of screen with your typical LCD tablet screen? I would love to read on a "paperwhite" screen, and watch movies/surf on a standard tablet screen, all on one device.

Will they seamlessly let you use Google services in a non-hackish way? I don't want to use Bing, Live, Sky, etc.

I'm afraid unless I buy an open source OS, I'll be pushed into an ecosystem without choice.

Each provider still has take down rules in place, which propagate to the other providers. I guess if the copyright holders monitor every file like a hawk, they can send tons of take downs and pretty much cripple the library.

Not common.

Oh god, you just reminded me of one of my biggest OS X gripes (before the iOS assimilation and lawsuits).... clam shell mode. What a PITA trying to invoke that was.

Doesn't the trackpad differ between the original X1 and the Carbon? From his wording, it sounds like the drivers work well, but the physical trackpad is the limitation. I am also looking for a Linux laptop with a good trackpad.
