I'm lucky to live in a county with a good library system that supports this model, but what about the rest of the country? Are they all served as well as me? $10/mo doesn't seem too outrageous if you have no other alternativ

True enough - at that point you'd get rid of nearly all UI. All that's left amounts to a charging station for your iTablet.

To clarify - free content not on Amazon doesn't help Amazon any. Getting more people on Amazon Underground is absolutely helpful. It increases customer mindshare of Amazon apps, increases lock-in and increases the cost of moving over

If you've never done rooting/flashing before, an Amazon device is not a good place to start. I did it on a HDX 7 only after a ton of reading, and the consensus is that it's easy to get it wrong and brick the device. There a

AFAIK Adobe stopped supporting flash on Android some time ago. It would be a considerable engineering effort to get it working again. Plus, (again, AFAIK) flash it not common among touch devices and I would be surprised if all games would

I don't think the impact is that severe. If you're planning on buying an Apple, and you visit apple.com and it's not up, then you wait until it's back up. Consistent downtime can damage a brand, but this is just a hiccu

It's interesting to note that the Surface 3 diverges from the Surface 2 and RT in that it has an x86 processor. I think this may be a concession that bringing developers over to write WinRT applications is an uphill battle, and the de

Regarding double-negative checkboxes: I really don't like these. Are there situations where they would make sense? (Possible answer: If you want the defaults of an application to be "everything is unchecked") Reasoning about

Do car manufacturers provide a privacy policy, or a means to opt-out of data storage? Seems like we're heading in the direction that they should, if they don't already. (Or maybe it's buried in some document you sign when bu

IANAL, but if you happened, purely by chance, to create a file that was bit-for-bit equal to a decrypted DVD, that would be fine (since it's practically impossible to do, anyway). It's the intent that matters anyway. What the government ha
