I'd say it was an ad if the movie was on Hulu too and they just linked to the Netflix version. This is just a movie recommendation, something they've been doing at least a few times a week for months now.

Not necessarily.

Activision never made their games forward compatible (DC1 and DC2 songs work in DC3) until Harmonix did it with Rock Band. Shooters still don't do it. Basically, they're updating the engine every year, and you can still play all the songs you bought before (through disc or DLC). I don't see how that's a bad thing.

I was gonna say maybe the kids uploaded the video to YouTube, but then the watch it on the plane part would work, except plane WiFi, but the wife wouldn't have, but.....

Isn't that her sister?

Agreed. I've wanted a tablet-laptop hybrid for years, even back when they were really crap, running a desktop version of Windows that just didn't work with touch screens, and cost like $1500 or more. If they can really get something like this working well for under a grand (and I'm not counting out Surface Pro with…

Ignoring the snark for a second, will Metro apps run on RT? Do you know the answer to that question?

This whole thing kinda reminds me of the Macbook Air. Wasn't good enough as hardware when it came out, but is probably a couple iterations from being something really interesting.

ITU still makes the official decisions, whether they caved or not. If they say it can be called 4G, then it's 4G.

It's not that EA isn't willing to pay them. While I'm sure they're not looking forward to it, they'd probably be willing to do it. The problem is that the NCAA won't allow it. The NCAA doesn't allow any of their athletes to profit off of their being a college athlete, as it violates their idea of "amateurism". And as…

Verizon has the largest LTE network of the big 4. But HSPA+ is technically 4G, so as much as you want to call it 3.5G, it counts as 4G, making Verizon the smallest 4G network.

Gallery probably should be done, but I can see how it would be hard. Phone is probably nearly impossible.

The unspoken good thing about this is that when you de-couple apps like this from the underlying OS and put them in the store, it means they can recieve updates without an OS update. They did it with Maps first, then Chrome, technically Music, and now Calendar. What apps are left that are still baked in?

This, but I'm harder on my computers than most, so the parts wear down a little faster. Over the past decade, I've had about 6 phones (T-Mobile G1 and G2 as my only smartphones), 3 desktops, 1 laptop (during college, broke soon after and didn't need it anymore so no replacement), 1 Palm Pilot, and technically 2 TVs.

At the very least, it's probably the official announcement of the LG Nexus phone that's been leaked for the past couple months. And probably the next version of Jelly Bean (4.2) as well. What I'm hoping for is the confirmation of the rumor going around that they're opening the Nexus program to all manufacturers as…

There wouldn't be a press event for either of those things. A press release, but not an event specifically for them.

Arguably, the only reason Cabin in the Woods finally got released is because Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is in it. If he hadn't been cast (before he got the Marvel part), it probably would have gone straight to DVD. Which seems to happen with a lot of horror/thriller movies (see Jennifer Lawrence's movie that came out last…

They've said multiple times that they're designing the game around the Move, so probably not.

I could start with Super Mario Bros/Super Mario World, but depending on your tastes, Sony's had some great bundles this generation with MGS4 and Uncharted (both 1 and 3 at various points).

There should be a way to adjust the projected image to compensate for those people who are near/farsighted.
