I wouldn't mind the requirement to have cable so much if that was all it was. I have cable, but my cable provider does not offer a package with MSNBC so I'm out of luck.

Tennis fans regularly suffer this same nonsense from NBC every year with the French Open and Wimbledon[^1]. I can't see them changing anytime soon. Relatedly, their whole cable TV package requirements for online streaming is also very annoy

Why do you feel so strongly about this but not about Motorola (and by extension, Google) trying to do the same thing to Apple's devices?[1] Not that I like any of this, just saying Apple's hardly the only company that does this, they all do

It does appear from Samsung's website that the Series 9 (the NP900X3A variant, anyway) does have user-replaceable RAM and supports a maximum of 8GB. Dell's XPS 13 Ultrabook appears to have a user replaceable SSD, but not RAM. That Lenovo X2

Yeah, Lenovo's using 8GBx2, but even so, it's a very heavy markup. Newegg wants about $125 for such sticks[1]. It'd be about $85 for 4GBx4[2] if that is in fact what Apple's using I also just navigated the labyrinth that is HP.com and looke

$200 to go from 8GB to 16GB was among the most reasonable of notebook vendors I saw in my research last night. Lenovo, for example, wanted $1,060 to go from 4GB to 16GB in the ThinkPad X230. Regardless, I don't think anyone looking at such

That seems the likely reason to me.

It was true that the Mac Pro didn't receive any updates in the prior two years because there simply wasn't a new Intel chipset to update to... But Intel's Sandy Bridge Xeon chipset and new E5 processors have now been put for a few months, w

by reaganing 14y ago
Except that Dell is now using the newer Sandy Bridge E5 Xeon processors while Apple's using models over 2 years old. One simply can't compare what Apple's now offering with other workstations.

They offered to license patents recently, http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/03/though-steve-jobs-famou... And the Samsung conglomerate is huge, with $220 billion in yearly revenue and ~350000 employees. Apple's revenue in 2011 was half th

Google owns Motorola Mobility, one can assume they have some say in these recent suits. I think this whole thing (companies suing each other over things like this) is wrong, but It's how the system works and so Apple has to play as well.

by reaganing 14y ago
Samsung's a bit larger than Apple. And Apple has said before that they'd rather have these companies (Samsung, HTC, etc) make a license agreement for the patents (like Microsoft's and HTC's deal with each other) rather than sue them or try

Yep, that's primarily why it's my favorite as well.

I don't think you can consider the Galaxy Nexus a Samsung phone. Yes, it's built by Samsung, but they're more a contractor for Google in this case. The Galaxy S II and its differing variants in the US all still run Android 2.3, with only pr

Having the same issue here. And I'm guessing, from the submitted article, re-installing 'osx-gcc-installer' wouldn't work. Hopefully, Ruby will work with newer tools soon.

Perhaps, though the iPhone 4 and 3GS are the 2nd and 3rd best selling current smartphones as well. Additionally, with the iPhone now available on yet another US carrier (Sprint), there's more people who can now buy iPhones. I know a number

There's also just using the Mobile version of the website.

by reaganing 15y ago
We do, but the carriers will want $20-25/month from you if you try to enable the feature. It's rather lame, wanting to charge you again to use data you're already paying form especially in this era of data plans being capped anyway, This no

I've come across a number of Kindle eBooks with numerous typos or other errors. It's like they simply OCR'd a printed book and didn't bother to check for issues ('Too Big to Fail' by Andrew Ross Sorkin is the most egregious I've bought). Ma

This is clever. I'm not sure why Dropbox doesn't offer plans with less space, and make it more affordable. For the $100/yr a 50GB account costs, you can get 100GB (plus unlimited storage of AAC/MP3 music) from Amazon via Cloud Drive. Grante

Seems like it's finally gone live. The App Store page is showing version 4.0 and iPad screenshots now. http://itunes.apple.com/app/facebook/id284882215

The app is supposed to be "universal" and display the proper one for your device, but yeah, it's not actually gone live on the App Store yet it seems.

I'm in the US and just downloaded it, got the old iPhone version in a small window, as always. Very annoying.

by reaganing 15y ago
Yeah. Instapaper and emailing files, along with already having a large amount of Kindle purchases, are the reasons I've stuck with Kindle.

I have switched from the 3G+WiFi Kindle 3/Kindle Keyboard to the new $79 Kindle and am pretty happy with it. Gets rid of the stuff I didn't use (Audio playback, speakers, keyboard) to make a device even smaller. 3G is something I used so ra

There are only so many ways to design a unique rectangular phone or tablet, but Samsung tries to make theirs look closer to Apple's than the others. Samsung's TouchWiz interface, at least on the phones, could easily be mistaken for Apple's

Yeah, this has been around for months with no push from Amazon for some reason. I'm not sure many Kindle owners are even aware that kindle.amazon.com exists and that they can view their highlights and notes there. Seeing what your friends a

I don't. Ads don't bother me unless they're flashy... flash ads, and well, not having Flash Player installed solves that issue. If a website has other ads that annoy me, I just won't visit it. Or if the content is something I feel is worth

to be clear, my line 10 looks like this: puts "There are #{cars} cars available." But, yeah, complete Ruby noob here as well so I don't really know what's wrong.
