Pretty much agree on all points. there are things I would pay to see even if the home version was in my hand in 1080p. I really want to see the newest Harry Potter on a screen the size of Montana. I have a nice home theater setup, but sometimes you just want the best possible experience, you only get to see it the first time once.
Which is why open source is going to win the battle of the smart phone. Android gives the tinkerers what they want, and they are a big portion of the market, & are the people in the know other people ask what to buy.

When you see the look on the faces of the zombies as their lifeline goes blank.

My last several builds have been AMD and I couldn't be more pleased. I'm up to a 6 core, and while it may not be quite as fast as the fastest Intel, but it easily does everything I ask, at a lot better price, without trying to take over the world.
It cracks me up the sense of entitlement artists have. How come I don't still get paid residuals for the gas I pumped at my part time job in high school?

The anarchist in me sees on reason for government to know or register anything. The only real reason is to get a hand in your wallet. It is probably the way it is to avoid the same reason most yachts are registered in more owner friendly countries.
