As far as i am aware you can’t do that with Mac’s or iPhones with Microsofts service. Am i mistaken? I don’t believe that there is a native iPhone or Mac app nearly a year later. And while that may be true right now about googles app you can bet they wont make that same mistake. Spotify has had both dedicated Mac and iOS apps for nearly as long as they have operated in the US.
MS chose to not release those apps for Apple hardware but then whines that there isn’t an iTunes metro version
So there are quite a few differences between Googles new service and Xbox Music Pass and ill bet the Google apps for iOS and Mac come out before the Xbox Music apps do.

Actually he may be more right than you, with Aereo’s release looming the major broadcasters are going to get desperate and they aren’t going to come out the gate with Game of Thrones and The Big Bang Theory, they are going to do exactly something like this.

Aereo will have the live streams + remote DVR capability. Then things will really get crazy.

Even if it was live streaming, some of us live in apartments or don’t have the ability to run an antenna the way it would be needed. And I think that you do not realize how far streaming tech has progressed.

You do realize you didn’t even try hard to match the letters N.S.A. right?

People like me may get outnumbered but it’s only by people who now want what I already have, “iPad” but are too cheap to pay for a quality product once inexpensive versions (in their eyes) are available.
Nike is not just a trend. And it’s hardly a trend when you owned 75% of a market (mp3 players with iPods). The iPhone out sells every other Android phone if you don’t lump them all together, and comes close to it even if you do some times. So I don’t see how you say Apple is trendy considering their successes for such a long stretch.
Even their recent stock problems are going against traditional wisdom since they keep having (financially) better quarters. People are getting worried because they haven’t released something earth shattering other than updated iPads.

Why HAL killed the astronauts isn’t clearly explained in 2001, but is explained more clearly in the Book and the Sequel movie 2010.
The Monoliths were basically part of a huge plan of an advanced race that is long gone by the time of the events of 2001. At the end of the movie Bowman is transported vast distances and transformed into the StarChild he then returns to earth in the second novel. The fetus is part of the ever changing state of Bowman, again read 2010 or watch that movie for a better idea, But basically he is being reboorn and growing old etc over and over.

I agree once you go above 27’ you might as well get a LCD or plasma TV, or better if you have that kind of money get a 4K TV and use that as a monitor. My 27’ iMac is so large and the screen so good i’m thinking of moving it to my bedroom and using it as the TV in there.

There are far more people that have seen the movie than have read Arthur C. Clarkes book. It’s unfortunate but that is how it is.
And if you are going to chastise people for not reading then your grammar could use a little following of your own advice.
Finally it’s Starchild not Earthchild. Since all of us are technically Earth children and David Bowman was reborn after his trip to deep space through the monolith.

Dear god, it’s not as though we had access to a huge group of interconnected computers with databases of information at our fingertips… oh wait.
1. The Book was published in 1968 so it has been around for basically a little over half a century.
2. There is no superior being in 2001 until the end of the novel. There are monoliths. Two of them precisely fashioned to a ratio of exactly 1:4:9, or 1²:2²:3². The second of which is huge and floating between Jupiter and it’s moon Io. The first is on earth and inspires the early ape like humans to use bones as weapons and tools. Then it sends out a signal towards Jupiter and disappears possibly embedding itself in the moons surface where it is found in 1999 by humans.
3. Since this post was discussing the Movie version of 2001 all reference to Saturn and its named moons are incorrect in the movie they moved the mission to Jupiter and its moons, specifically Io.
4. There are no aliens directly referenced in the Movie version of 2001 and David Bowman becomes what is referred to as the Star Child after being transported through the large monolith in the universally (earth wise) 60’s drug like mind trip that Stanley Kubrick presented it as. Anyone denying this is likely too young to have experienced the 60’s or is possibly still suffering from LSD taken at the time.

Every country without the technology or funds to have they own Drones will cry foul like this. Right up to the day they do. Unfortunately I believe that the day Pakistan gets them will be the day a terrorist group magically gets them as well.
My opinion and to my knowledge there is no hard evidence showing they harbor terrorists.

If hat’s what he is trying to do then he should fire his handler who obviously either has no control over him or knows less about the internet then he does.

Please stop. The fact is, that is what we call them. Eventually when all phones do these things they will probably be called something else since just plain phones will cease to exist. But until then they are smartphones.

Love that clip and the fact that they actually had Stiller wear monkey cosmetics for the scene, pure comedy gold.

No you get it just fine, it’s the sad old politicians and the people who try to defend them that don’t get it who need more sleep.

Wait, you watched the Avengers and loved it, but you have no idea who Coulson is? So you never watched Iron Man, Iron Man 2 or Thor either because he was in there as well. Not to mention he has quite a few scenes in Avengers. You sure you saw the Movie? Cause he’s kind of a big deal…
Edit: Oh man now i look like a copy cat. -

A little research goes a long way. There are alternative programs to synching using iTunes and ANY ipad lets you sync with the cloud if you subscribe to iTunes match. As a bonus any mp3s you have that are low quality can be upgraded to higher quality AAC files. But then you are locked in to using an AAC compatible player once you have downloaded the new versions of the music. They are still DRM free and you do get to keep them if you stop subscribing to Match AFAIK. But for $25, the ability do download any of my music anywhere i have an internet connection is too good of a deal. Not to mention it works with every iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac and Windows machine i own.

No its not. You either have way too big of a database or an ancient mac trying to use the latest version of every thing.
Macs hold up very well but you need to upgrade them occasionally as new software comes out.My 2008 iMac lasted me until March of this year and i still use it as a secondary machine.
My iTunes database is 100+ GB and iTunes on my brand new Mac takes less than three seconds to open. There is no sluggishness to it at all.

@Roku Thats now. 7 years ago the music industry was still fighting over DRM and that caused everybody to flock to ITunes because Apple had the least obnoxious form of it.
Then they helped force the studios to drop it all together.
A lot of people that are not that comfortable with computers are more than comfortable with iTunes.

Nobody sells non DRM shows or movies, they are all forced to keeped them locked down tight. Not as though you cant get an HD copy 15 mins after a show airs anyway.

Yes aint it great when a huge company says "We wanna make X but lets do it diferently and now a young boy is at the center of things.
When you ADAPT something and change everything about it, what was the point?
It’s this mentality that led to the latest Iron Man being a huge disappointment to the core audience.

I lolled at the simpsons joke.

And you record off of cable i take it. Your point is?
If you are recording off OTA and they pull their signal off line then you will basically be stuck in what ever year they stop.
You are living off the last gen way of getting shows.
Here is a hint.
