But aren't Store apps essentially built on the Win32 API? I remember an article basically saying '.NET didn't win' for that development. I could be recalling wrong, and I'm sure there are wrappers and such, but stil

How's the Internet connectivity? Is satellite the only option?

I am using Insteon hardware for the purposes you describe. However, the nodes are about 5x your desired cost.

So if Google doesn't do the right things _for the right reasons_ (based solely on your judgement), they're just as bad as anyone else to you?

Is there an article detailing where Mercedes/others are getting their self-driving technology from? I'm just curious; the timing does seem oddly quick, and they sure sound optimistic.

If I found a locked phone, I myself would never think to remove the case & look for things inside.

Spotify has always responded to my media keys in a buggy fashion. Sometimes I have to press play/pause twice to get a response. Almost every time I pause with the keyboard, it resumes playing by itself about 5 minutes later--highly annoying

Fair enough. > No, but for Apple you don't need to do this because you only need the code if you're accessing their website so you have to have internet access. I don't think I ever use the Google Authenticator without internet access.

I can count on one hand the number of crashes I've experienced with CM (both 10 and 10.1) over the past few months on my Galaxy S 3. Have you tried updating? I did have a few issues with a stable version that were fixed in newer nightlies.

What happens if you need a password reset with this new two-factor? Wouldn't it still just email you, leaving you with the same problem?

Why do you find this more friendly than Google Authenticator? Just because it pushes rather than requiring the user to open an app? Can you still manually get a code, in case you lack network (& don't want to break out the backup code)?

Pretty sure that's a Netflix call; their Silverlight browser plugin doesn't have all the features of their Windows 8 app.

He probably meant SimCity 2000, which can still be played despite being nearly 20 years old... it would surely be on that list if it was more recent. Has EA ever done so or indicated they will release such a no-DRM patch? I have a feeling t

They mixed up megabyte and megabit. I highly doubt the FCC defines broadband as above 32Mbps, as very few people in the US get such speeds (unfortunately).

The Metro APIs are all based on the old Win32 APIs & COM. Sure .NET is supported, but it's certainly not the dominant language nor was it a nice clean break as they could've done. Plus they've killed XNA and told people to switch their

Apple will want to rapidly patch this either way. They still see it as a large security flaw, even if it needs a physical connection, and they hate jailbreaking.

Wait, the newest one (the second version to have Retina) is "iPad with Retina Display"? Are you sure those aren't backwards? Because that'd make no sense to me.

If you're going to use all those adapters & accessories... you may as well just use a desktop or laptop. Which probably already has all those packages you frequently use, and runs them faster.
