I think we'll have to see what Microsoft is going to do at E3, because they've signalled in the past that they want to take this streaming approach, and they have their own cloud too...

I often hand down my MBP to my parents, but given the state of the MBP line over the past few years I'm probably going to hold on to my 2015 model for quite some time yet Which breaks my heart a bit because the model they have right no

My issue with them is you couldn't set an Amazon locker as your delivery location, so I never bothered using it. Instead my dash buttons have been repurposed as a control switch for my lamp that sits across the other side of the room

I often read PDF versions of books (especially technical books) or PDFs of academic papers etc I've never been able to view these properly on a kindle. Well, last time I tried anyway, is it better now?
