  @Chamele0n said: @scottalanmiller I think you will be surprised, give it a fair shot. The hardware/software compatibility is infinitely better than windows. Give it a couple months to sink in, but I bet you by 6 moths you will love it. (If you are already a Unix fan) We were members last year and while we generally liked it found that we just never used it and now we are back where there isn't one again.

  @scottalanmiller said: If you are worried about governments locking weapons of people they don't want to be armed, do you not think that they would not unlock those that they want armed? Or just hackers in general. The government would allow those it wants to have guns to have them without this idiotic safety. It wouldn't be worth the risk of malfunction to give these to, say, Cops or military personal.

  @Dashrender said: Wow.. Windows 8 is only 18 months old - this does seem kind of quick to me. But yeah when you consider that Windows 7 is 5 years old this year I suppose it makes sense. And @scottalanmiller who, besides you and NTG, Truely buys into the Windows vision? No company large or small I know of stays anywhere near on top of things like Windows versions. LOL a thought question, not a real one. I'm very much into the Windows ecosystem. With the exception of Hyper-V and the now-defunct TMG, the MS platform is an amazing dynamo of interoperability and centralized management.

  Nothing about how ATMs are handled is very comforting. Security is taken very loosely with them and scams using them are way too easy.

  @Nara said: With the exception of manufacturing and companies dealing in physical items, the office isn't the company anymore. It's just where people come to work. Keeping legacy infrastructure around goes against that culture shift. That's very true. It's amazing how so many people are missing that.

  @scottalanmiller I got to see the Pixel. I still would prefer the newest HP 14" Chromebook though, speakers sound better than the rest I have seen. Acer's touch capability is nice, but that's not something I need nor want on a laptop right now. That's why I own a tablet.

  @Dominica said: So many people on my FB feed post bogus links to things. It's so annoying. Verify stuff before you pass it on. Is that so hard? So many people prefer to post than to be accurate. All they care about is sensationalism, I actually think that they like it when it is crazy because it gets more attention.

  @Dashrender said: @scottalanmiller said: Android is too "free" for its own good. People are free to have it not work and no vendor is making sure that you get a reliable experience. LOL... OHhh this is toooooo true! It's really true. It makes it amazing for hobbyists and people for whom entertainment value and flexibility rule. But for professionals and people who need a rock solid phone experience, it fails.

  @dashrender They all limit bandwidth, or are very slow in my area. It's really not the end of the world I can still stream shows and such, but it's either download, stream, game, OR work/internet.

  There are a few challenges. Inside the phone they have to switch from batteries to high longevity capacitors to make it work. There is a lot of research going on to make that happen, but it alone is a big hurtle.
