There's actually a big difference. The indiegogo thing streams content from your device to the TV. The Chromecast receives a "link" from your device, then streams the content directly from the web. I'm sure the Chromecast stick can be hacked to do the same, but out of the box, it's rather...

Awesome. I bought my TV last year (although not a high-end model), so I'm guessing it'll be able to draw power directly. Win.

Ordered from Amazon, although they don't even have a shipping estimate at this point. Also, no mention of the three months of Netflix that I can find outside of the announcement. Is that gone already, too? Jesus people...

I have 5 invites for ChicaNZB. PM me your email address and I can send an invite.

Yeah, you're going to end up paying a lot more than $1 for the POS. On top of what has already been said, you might also wonder if the government is going to use eminent domain to take your property -- either to "downsize" the city or because a friend of the major wants to build a supermarket.

Given what else is on TV most of the time, I'm really happy to have a show that goes with smart dialogue. The West Wing was pretty much the same in that regard. The people in government are neither that idealistic, nor that eloquent, competent, or motivated. But who wants to watch a show...

That's good to know! And what about the prescription lenses? *zing*

I think it takes a much darker twist in the second season. Keep in mind that you're seeing it from the perspective of Kira, who appears to have a pretty well-paying job. From the posts, I suspect most people follow the Canadian schedule...

They're not disabling the recording function, so amateur POV porn is still a go! As for people wearing glasses: from what I understand, you will be able to get glasses with prescription lenses either at or shortly after launch?

Still trying to decide whether I should get Killzone or Watchdogs as launch title. I won't have that much time to game around release, so by the time I'll have given one a serious shot, I presume the other will have gone through a price drop already. Leaning toward Watchdog just because it...

That was true in the first episode with the oil spill... but after that? I guess they didn't call Gifford's death, but I don't think that's hindsight bias: you really shouldn't call that with one unconfirmed source and everyone else quoting that same source. There wasn't any hindsight bias...

I just leveled mining up to 6... what a horrible experience. On the upside, that should ensure a market for high-level gathered items. Is crafting any good? Alchemy seems like it could be useful.

I was talking about episode 9! This season actually has 13 episodes.

I find the combat infinitely more fun than Defiant. I can see how there isn't a whole lot to progression -- there aren't any raids (yet?). This is especially true if you pay $$$ and get a founder's pack that includes all the advanced classes. Unlocking these classes is a big part of progression...

I didn't notice the buff icon when I cast the spells -- thanks, this makes combat quite a bit easier. There were some odd issues early on. For example, a level 3 quest gave me an item only wearable after level 5; and when I lost connection, it wouldn't let me log back into the same character...

Just finished this... wish there had been another Maeby episode. I think her character is hilarious. The whole "I'm a movie producer!" spiel should have gone on longer. Has a fifth season been confirmed already?

Ok, this show has crossed into pure awesome. Lines of good and evil aren't so clear anymore... 4 more episodes left this season.

Super newbie THM here, but I noticed that chaining my fire/cold spells increases their MP cost -- but also seems to increase their damage, though not by as much. Is the proper strategy here to alternate elements?

Just got an invitation to the beta myself... hurray. Does anyone have a good link explaining the class system? From what I understand from reading the wikia guide (which may actually refer to version 1.0), I pick a base class (e.g. caster) when I create my character. Then, I can switch between a...

For those who haven't played in a while, they recently added pockets with new resources and you need to do missions/do some crafting to get keys to go there. There's also progression in that you can get new classes after leveling up the "basic" classes. You then have to research (costs cash) new...

What's the problem with a hardwood floor for gaming? I don't have my console on the floor anymore, but I used to. That floor even had under floor heating, and I never experienced any issues.

Someone asked about evidence that the NSA was spying on Americans, not just foreigners:http://www.aclu.org/blog/national-se...tent-it-claims Also shows a potential downside of using VPNs: So anything you do via VPN can be stored forever.

I like the layout of the 360 controller, with the left stick where the PS4's d-pad is. Are there any good comparisons of those two, rather than PS3 vs PS4?

The ACLU is suing the government for more information on NSA activities. I know the organization is not popular among conservatives (although I don't know why), but if you can spare $20 and think this is worth fighting for, head over to their site and throw some money toward the...

Here's to hoping he can get there safely.

While bitcoins themselves are possibly (hopefully) going to stick around, much of their use is contingent on being able to buy (and sell) them. Not everyone can be a bitcoin miner after all. That's where regulation kicks in. Anyone exchanging USD for Bitcoins is subject to federal regulation...

Say goodbye to VPNs:Mastercard and Visa Start Banning VPN Providers

I think his answer was fine. Of course he's not going to admit to this in public and whoever asked the question is a moron. But if that information was also withheld in private meetings, which seems to have been the case, then that's a much more serious issue. You can't withhold this information...

It's not clear to me how knowing that the NSA collects metadata of calls and fully records some calls is a threat to national security. It's well known that intelligence services monitor financial transactions to certain Middle Eastern charities and that they monitor message boards affiliated...

A billion per day doesn't sound like much? According to wiki answers, that's about 10% of global phone calls. That seems fairly substantial for one agency.

Diverting a diplomatic flight seems like a pretty drastic measure. Moreover, wouldn't the plane be "protected" space -- e.g. even if he were on the plane, I don't see how it could be searched or how he could be forcibly removed. Nor could you detain a foreign president until he allowed such...

I haven't been following the case and have no idea about this person's competence. But I'd suggest that many of these things are entirely irrelevant: whether she worked with medical residents, for example. Similarly, it didn't say whether prison deaths weren't actually homicides. I'm sure the...

The amazing thing here is toward the end, when they showed SWAT with assault rifles and nobody with one of those riot shields. Way to bring the wrong tool for the job, unless the idea was to just gun down 200 teenagers... edit: also, I hope The Newsroom gets renewed for a third season just to...

New Article in Der Spiegel just went up:http://translate.google.de/translate...-a-908517.html(Google Translate) The NSA monitored on average 500 million calls, emails, and text messages of Germans in Germany -- i.e. civilians, not affiliated with governments. So, basically, a more extensive...

Some talk starting on how this may delay a EU-US free trade agreement that France only just agreed to let the EU start working on. If so, the NSA caused considerable damage to the US economy - probably more than that caused by terrorism. We're looking at $700bn in annual trades and $2.4tn in...

Loads fine for me with the latest beta version of Chrome, Windows 7, and with Adblock.

Everything at E3 is heavily scriped and rehearsed. And the couple times when someone goes off script, there's a media outrage (e.g. the supposed rape comment) -- so there's no way they're going to move away from scripting things, no matter how fake they sound.

I watched it and I get that they called Jonas Jonad. What I don't get is the joke... did I miss a line or something? Jonad doesn't seem to mean anything.

I'm clearly missing something... Jonad?

This episode just made no sense to me. 1) Tom just decided to go to this base after they had sent snipers... ok. 2) Could you make it any more obvious that the others are working with the aliens? But maybe the real question is why the allied alien didn't resist more forcefully... I'm hoping...
