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.

I literally use absolutely no Windows 8 apps. I hate them so much. So jarring and weird and none of them work well. Just a bad idea. I've tried several and not a one of them has had any value that I could ascertain.

I have yet to use any either - I haven't bothered to look through the store either.

There is no way to find anything. The store is completely worthless. If you don't already know about what you want and its exact name you are completely SOL.

More hilarious? This happens more than one would like to think. Drop in "beach car tide" to Google Images—

The fail army is strong!

How did we jump to the plane story so fast? I thought we were still consoling DiCaprio for his Oscar loss.

No idea but I think CNN needs to be renamed to CMAS - Cable Missing Airplane Speculation. That is literally the only thing for two weeks!!

Glad this has been reposted here.

I know I've seen this somewhere before........

I love it when I point this out to someone asking homework questions and just demanding answers. They don't care enough to learn or to understand. They just want answer.

Grabbed all ten to add to my library, thanks for sharing!

As long as the server side doesn't suffer the horrible security flaws that the desktop does - What difference does it make what the back end runs? I don't really want an answer, it's just a thought exercise.

Ah VLC ASCII mode. Good stuff.

Haine (pronounced "Ha ee nay" or "Hi nay" is close enough) reading Green Eggs and Ham for the first time mostly by herself. She read the entire book, refusing to stop when I offered because she looked SO tired.

@scottalanmiller Hmm...that looks like that'd be a cool Raspberry Pi like device...

Well it is a desktop based off of an ARM processor, if that's what it takes to make something "Raspberry Pi like." RP is just a low cost ARM board. It's special because it's popular and cheap. But isn't the first, the best or anything other than most well marketed. A great little device, but other than both of them being based on the same architecture, this isn't anymore "Raspberry Pi like" than, say, any Android phone because those are ARM machines too.

There is no scarcity of information about them providing a replicated, vanilla platform.

Hahaha That's why I always remind my Boss 😛

And another post about their controllers...

Figured warranty and/or RVS (Rotation Vibration Safeguard) would have been mentioned, as well.

Consider warranty to be an OEM's confidence in their device. Bit on RVS, http://www.zdnet.com/blog/storage/bad-bad-bad-vibrations/896

Cost math on price can be interesting. As an example, a device getting twice the value out of a set of Red drives vs RE drives. SMBs would be more of the mindset to take the lowest price (yeah, yeah, not enterprise).

I love the charts idea.
