FOX is a broadcast channel. You can get it OTA for free with an antenna.

Maybe not. If you remember before this, Motorola was making noise about suing other Android OEM’s for patent issues. Imagine how crazy that would have been. Now there is absolutely no way that this ever happens.

Plus, the Kindle isn’t sold as a multi use device such as a smart phone. They just ignore things like maps and mail clients.

The only reason for Samsung to fork would be if they thought they could make their own app store and make more money from it than they do now. I’m not sure that’s possible. People complain all the time that android users just don’t buy that many apps. How is Samsung going to change this?

I didn’t say OS X didn’t make sense to me. I don’t have any issues with windows, OS X, or Linux file structures. But to the average user, non of them are very friendly.

Every version of every OS hides this more and more. I wouldn’t call the file structure of OS X pretty either. Linux makes perfect sense, once you figure it out; but the average user never would be able to. We’re headed to a point were it’s abstracted away from the user.

I like that it’s multi platform. I have it for windows, linux, and android. I can also install it on iOS if needed. I like that the password file is something I control. I have it sync’d to my drop box so all my pc’s and my phone are using the same file. I also have it on a memory stick (along with the windows executable) so that I never will be without a password.

The Blu-ray spec can be modified to have 4k, so I don’t think we’ll need another physical format (just new players). However, 4k content on a screen this size is almost a waist (you’d have to sit like 4’ or 5’ away to notice the difference). The biggest advantage will be in passive 3D. You’ll get full resolution 3D using passive glasses.

It’s not going to have the 1280×720 limit on 3D. That limit was because to do glasses free TV you have to show multiple images on the screen at one time and beam them to different eyes. Even though this 4k resolution gives you a lot of pixels, you only have so many 1280×720 pictures you can display concurrently.

The beauty of a 4k TV is that now you can have a passive 3D and not lose the resolution like you do with a 1080p display. There’s really not much need for 4k on a display this size except for doing passive 3D.
