"but because the best 2D TVs have 3D"

I would much rather have easier access to custom ROMs. I'm bothered by the number of carriers and manufacturers who still use signed and locked bootloaders. While I understand the concern by carriers (they want you to use their apps and services) I should still be able to use my device as I choose to.

I think what bothers me most about this comparison is that you took both your phone and your coworkers phone and put them face down on concrete to photograph them. Gets me every time I see someone do this.

Technically, everything is crackable to some degree. The idea behind wireless security is to add as many layers as possible without making the connection impossible. By adding WPA2, MAC filtering and non-broadcast SSID, you limit the number of people who will try to get into your network. Generally, doing all of these…

I can't argue with that. I've attached myself to Green button remotes, but specifically my Philips. You could always do what I do, buy a spare on Ebay now, while you can!

Is it just THAT one in specific that you're worried about losing? You can still use the Xbox 360 remote or a number of other remotes with your HTPC/WMC setup. I'm in fear myself, but not for losing the remote (it's a brick). I have a Philips SRM7500, and while it works on Windows 7, struggles with connect/disconnect…

My sentence really didn't make sense in context. The reply actually went into the wrong thread, thanks to this wonderful comment system.

The Nexus 7 would like to have a word with you.

It would be highly unusual for a Nexus device to launch with an LCD display. All past models of Nexus and LG devices have been using AMOLED, and in fact LG announced last year that it's made improvements to its mobile AMOLED production line. Even if this were an LCD screen, it would likely be an IPS LCD like that of…

Chrome does it because for the most part, it's hidden. 90% of users will only know they are downloading "Google Chrome" instead of "Google Chrome 22". There are also a large number of smaller point releases in Google chrome by using the unstable and beta update packages.

The screen definitely looks dull. In shots of most phones, the black bar at the bottom of the device usually blends in seamlessly with the bezel. It's noticeable in all shots. It might be a brightness thing?

Actually, most guns are capable of firing under water. The added pressure from the water in the barrel generally will cause a bubble effect that will damage a firearm, making it dangerous to fire subsequent rounds. As far as I know, 9mm glocks have thicker barrels and are best suited for this sort of environment, and…

When you think about it though, it is what would happen. The acceleration of the bullet happens from the propellant in the gun, and upon leaving the bullet it encounters a greater resistance from the water than from the expanding gas.

In reality, it's the House of the Book at the Brandeis-Bardin campus

I always found Ubuntu's to be annoying. I think the future of scroll bars will be that of how Android/iOS do, where it's just a bar that pops up when you scroll to tell you where you are on the page, but ultimately it's just a tiny line on the side of the screen, not something you can interact with. Ultimately people…

Monoprice is just about the only company I trust for generic cables, but that's because I've been using them for in wall CAT5/6 and networking gear for years.

Windows is very straightforward, but I argue about Linux taking longer to do things. Linux is a powerhouse, but you have to KNOW the inner workings of the Kernel and the distro to understand how to use it and tweak it. I've been using Fedora on one of my laptops for about a year and a half now, and I've found that the…

Linux will take over long before Apple will.

I would suggest learning C# for the ease of use and power, but it appears Microsoft is going to try this new thing with HTML5. You can still make Windows 8 and WP8 apps in C#, but it looks like the primary language will be based on HTML5
