"How much "R&D" is LG doing for their chipset in their phones? None, that's done by Qualcom. How much "R&D" are they doing for their screens? None, that's done by ATouch, or whoever else. "R&D" into battery tech? None. "R&D" into the camera? None."

I actually do know how it works. A friend of mine is a manufacturing engineer who spends a lot of time in China.

Other than Tokyo Drift, the franchise has actually been fun to watch. Of course they're completely ridiculous, but I watch movies to escape realism. They're just mindless action movies and they don't try to disguise themselves as anything more than that.

There's a reason why Xiaomi sells cheap products. Specs only play a small part in pricing of a product. Like another poster already said, they are known for stealing patents and ideas, using cheap labor (not just on the manufacturing side), putting very little into R&D, don't spend nearly anything on marketing, and…

I don't blame them for branching out like this. They're basically doing what exactly what Google started doing 10-12 years ago. People tend to forget that Google used to just be a search engine. And Facebook used to just be a social network. And Facebook makes their money exactly the same way Google does - from…

In his biography, he just said they "cracked the tv". Doesn't mean they planned on building an actual TV. I'm guessing the upcoming cable subscription through the Apple TV is what he was talking about.

I can see wanting to store movies on the device. Especially for traveling. Hotel wifi usually sucks so being able to hook up your Apple TV and have your media right there can be handy.

Not since 2009. They removed it for all music since then. There's still restrictions on the songs you purchased before 2009, but iTunes has a work-around for removing the DRM from those as well.

Apple removed DRM restrictions from iTunes years ago.

You mean an actual TV? Jobs never envisioned that. In fact, he once told Jony Ive that Apple will never make a TV.

I'll definitely be getting it. I love my Apple TV, but it's time for an upgrade.

1 per post, and make it more than just a 2-second loop. The constant frame jumping every 2 seconds is part of what makes them so irritating.

Seriously. Reading this article almost gave me a damn seizure.

The new FCC rules haven't even gone into effect yet. That takes 60 days.

Eh. Compared the the crap-tastic action in the Hobbit movies, this looks pretty damn good.

Would you donate food to the poor if your own family was starving? Thinking that comment had anything to do with xenophobia is idiotic.

Because 200 bundled channels are cheaper than 10 separate channels. I pay $20/month for 200 channels. There is no way in hell you'll be able to get 10 separate channels for under $20/month total if they unbundled. It's basic economics, not bullshit.

The only one there that is actually a-la-cate is HBO Now. The rest are still bundled services.

I pay $20/month for cable. Individual channels would cost between $7 - $10 each without bundling. Your three channels would cost more than what I pay now for over 100 channels. The majority of people watch more than three channels. It may make sense for a small minority such as yourself, but most people would hate…

Just look at the music industry for example. The a-la-carte service like iTunes is losing customers like crazy, while bundled subscriptions like Spotify are on the rise. There is a ton of terrible music on Spotify just like there are a ton of terrible shows on TV. But Spotify makes more sense economically for the…
