No, but you could "squirt" a song from one device to another. I wish I was making that up. Microsoft does manage to make some really useful products and services. Even the Zune you mentioned had a service similar to the now-popu

I'm definitely more familiar with the Android side of things than with iOS but it really has more to do with the OEM. Sure, if you buy a carrier branded device then they will stick their approval process after the OS release and OEM p

That is actually my only iOS device at the moment and it certainly has been slower with each update. I do understand the benefit of building an OS to more current specs but unlike a desktop PC where you can add a stick of RAM or a newer GP

Again with the anecdotes but a good friend of mine does exactly this. He's not a tech enthusiast and hasn't owned a computer since I've known him. His wife has an old laptop but he doesn't use it and isn't familia

Just anecdotally, even though I'm at least technically literate and no stranger to transferring files between portable devices and desktop/laptop PCs, I've found that the need to do so really has fallen off with the newer rem

There are a couple of dev teams working on something similar with Kinect(s) and Oculus Rift. The two main applications I've seen are VR "movies" that would record a scene with both video and depth information which would all

Not sure if mine has Blu-ray. Think it's only DVD but I don't own any Blu-ray discs anyway. Figured if I ever really need it or want a simple-ish upgrade I'll just swap the HDD out for a SSD at some point. Either way it wor

Didn't see mine on there (Asus N56JR). I do something similar on Newegg and Microcenter's site when I shop for a laptop for myself or someone else--narrow down based on specific specs I want and then compare the results based on

How much of that is due to the (relatively token but non-zero) membership cost? I subscribed there years ago because I enjoyed the conversations and found it to have a good signal-to-noise ratio. Granted, this is subjective to some degree

I think it's a complex issue but finding ways to extract value from products and services always is. I think that if you want to mirror the "old" status quo, services like Pandora or Shoutcast stations should be treated simil
