Those are valid questions. There's a difference between my partners and I, and then the other people I was referencing. We tend to be rather technical as we're partners in a web design/development company, whereas my relatives are not. One of them owns a programming/consulting company in...

Oh, I didn't make that connection. Cool! Banshee

Are those good numbers in TV speak? Banshee

That *was* awesome....:) The whole "have an apple" red herring has been thrown out a few times. I wonder if there's anything to it? Are the apples poisoned? Or, since they lost their memories, does she just have an affinity for apples? I *do* think we're seeing the evilness of the queen. I...

I didn't provide a link for that reference, as I didn't have one....whereas I had links for some of the other things I was pointing out, so I provided them. It's a valid point. My understanding from Rubin's statement is that the 6 million he points two are activated devices. Now, if a device...

Cops do unreasonable things all the time. When I was in high school, grade 11, we took a class trip to New York City. In that trip, I was with some friends, and I can't even remember where we were, but we took a walk to go to a Swatch store a few blocks away from our hotel room, shortly before...

Aren't cops trained to shoot for the body? My brother had a cop take him to the shooting range, and on his first day shooting a gun, ever, he was apparently shooting better than many members of the force (according to the cop). My understanding is that they shoot for the body, as targeting...

Guess your grandfather is better informed than some people I know :) Banshee

One thing I don't get about the article is that it makes references to Disney approving them to go for different takes on characters such as Snow White. But Snow White *predates* the creation of Disney Corp....so how can they approve what she's like? She's not their character. At least...

I felt the second episode was fairly strong...and there were some rather humorous conflicts as well. I'm interested to see where they take this show. Banshee

Those in the U.S. have access to Dragon Go! which supposedly duplicates much of the functionality of Siri. I can't attest to how well it works as I'm in Canada, where the app's not currently available. Banshee

Everyone's a lot of people? Are you sure you can't find one? :) Banshee

I believe he/she's referring to members of the general public.....the "average joe" who buys the iPhone due to marketing, and his/her friends having one, and that it seems cool, rather than because they read up on the technology. Apple's definitely not putting effort into ensuring that their...

Emphasis on "if", thanks. As to Android tablets, according to Andy Rubin (http://www.androidauthority.com/there-are-over-6-million-android-tablets-out-there-andy-rubin-28891/), there are 6 million of them out there, so the guestimate I threw out there, of 6 million, seems to fall in line with...

My wife has an iPhone 4. This summer, she dropped it, and it shattered into a million pieces. So, Apple was nice enough to give her a new one. The new one is *very* glitchy, but doesn't have the warranty the first one did. I guess because she got a replacement, the warranty is supposedly...

In the second episode, I felt some of that stuff starts falling into place a little more. Not perfectly, but her actions make sense, and you can see she's got some thought behind them. As to Grimm, I liked that. It's still early days....but I liked the humour, and I liked the "tone" better...

Based on what happened in the second episode, I figured the mayor "encouraged" the sheriff to arrest her after the car accident. Banshee

That character, Planchet, is out of the books. There were two others....Grimaud, and a third (whose name escapes me). Largely they *were* the comic relief/sidekick role. Banshee

I think overall, the Fire will make Android, period, a much bigger threat on tablets. If Apple sold 15 million iPads this year, and there were 6 million Android tablets sold in that time.........but analysts are predicting 5 million Fires sold by the end of this year, based on the current rate...

Keep in mind that there are many people who underutilize their iPhones as an example. I know tonnes who have them, and use them for e-mail, maybe playing some music, and acting as a phone, but they don't get apps etc. For those kinds of people, a $299 Kindle Fire, with limited abilities may be...
