    This is why APPL needs to make an Mac OS X server running on an A-series chip.  Probably won't happen unfortunately because it will not be an APPL priority.
     Ehhh, the A series chips are great as they are custom designed to serve the iPhone and iPad. If Apple wanted to and they likely already do, they would design a custom chip to serve whatever server need they have. They would not use an A series chip.

    And that is against the law to fire upon an airborn vehicle.  Check the laws as the FAA says so.

    And if I am in the right to fly it, what right do you have to interfere?  As long as I am not over your property, below a certain height which I can't recall, I would be in the right.  Although, etiquette says to stay away from places you should not be.
    I've had several drones pass over my property just in the last god damn month; soon they're going to be "accidentally" destroyed on sight if I'm there to catch them.

    Last year, happened once that I know about; this year, so many times already that I've using my security cameras to count and ID them.
    There are seemingly 3 dumbass culprits and I'm now trying to track them down.

    I'm not going to stand having swarms of giant mosquitoes flying by!


    I am guessing you are not a photographer else you would be pretty adamant about protecting your FIRST amendment right to free speech.

    I don't even have a drone but I respect someone else's right to practice theirs.

    Hey.  Kickstarter people.
    I'd pay up to $100 for a drone signal-jamming transmitter.
    Push the button, signal is jammed, drone operator can't get their now-cliché hover shot.
    Note: the jamming signal will only cause momentary loss of directional control, not crashing.
    Net effect: drone operator thinks there's a defect and wants their money back (again and again.)
    What gives you the right to do this?

  • Apple's Didi investment is surprising but good use of massive $233B cash hoard, analyst says

    staticx57staticx57
    Damn analysts know nothing. What Apple will do will be a complete surprise. Don't listen to analysts.

    Yes, cost. LCDs were cheaper to manufacture, cheaper to advance technology wise, and thus cheaper to scale. People bought super cheap LCDs and Plasmas remained a niche item with no cost advantage.

    And one of those better technologies is NOT LCD.

    If you took care of your Plasma burn-in was a non-issue.
    Bullcrap.  Plasma burn in is a huge issue. What kind of bullshit technology is Plasma where you can't play a video game for a few hours without worrying about burn in?

    How do I know?  Because my plasma has burn in after playing a video game for a mere 2 hours on it. Crappy tech.  Just like OLED and the blue pixel crap.

    Just face it. OLED has some crappy things about it. If it didn't all the big boys would be making OLED TV's.
    Were you using a first generation plasma or something? Most of the major issues cited here are artifacts of early generation products lingering but were solved but not recognized.
