Yet our pets can live long, active lives eating the same dry food every single day, I don't see how it's especially difficult to imagine a similar solution for humans. Might be a bit more complicated, but not impossibly so. Soldie

It's limited compared to what you can already do, but that's because you have a HTPC. Same for people who have a Google TV device, an Apple TV device, a Roku or whatever media box or media center plugged in to their TV. To you and

Nothing per se at this point, but their previous stance on DRM allowed their main competitor to gain a large PR advantage. However saying that the Xbox One will fail like the WinRT did is very premature; the PS3 had a slow start and still m

Other journalists would try to beat The Guardian to the scoop, with the same result. Everyone would be talking about it for two weeks, then we'd forget. By controlling the flow, they can make sure that each important revelation is allo

I would chalk it to the fact that if you have a really good idea for a new original product, one that is good enough and realistic enough that it would convince people to part with their money, you might as well try and make it a reality. W

Consider that for that price, the teacher offers his time to help students. If the price was lower, it's likely he'd have more students; perhaps a lot more. The more students he has to deal with, the less time the teacher will hav

Because it's a tradeoff between the hassle and the price of the equipment. To make good coffee yourself, you need to either pay a lot for a good machine, or have to use equipment that's more of a hassle to use and clean. Coffee from a shop,
