You mean the box that Amazon just announced 3 hours ago?
If I still lived with Peter, I'm sure it would be in my house RIGHT NOW.
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm thinking of getting a new monitor--it's to put in my living room so I can hook up my work or home laptop to it for more real estate. What's big and subtle? There should be a market (that I can afford) of furniture computer accessories.

Anyone good at panoramic cell/tablet pictures? I tried a few times to get my living room, two pieces that I could stitch together as 360 degrees.
Then I noticed Google Photo Sphere in the 4.4 tablet , and walks you through the space, by telling you how to align and where next. It did some weird stuff in the bottom corners, but otherwise I'm pretty impressed with the result.
What cheap to free tools are out there?

I'm sorry but I have nothing useful to add on either of your recent questions ita. I have noticed that most of the TVs I've been shopping for look pretty decent. Almost zero bezel.
I'm trying to resist buying a 4k monitor already. Too soon, I know, but so many pixels!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anybody use Acorn as a Photoshop replacement? Lifehacker sez:
Mac users who don't want to shell out for a Creative Cloud subscription have some great indie Photoshop alternatives available, and one of the best is on sale for $15 today (normally $50). Acorn can work with PSD files and will handle most light to medium editing tasks you throw at it.
For only $15, I'm thinking of getting it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I use Pixelmator, and I'm quite happy with it.

Got my replacement Acer Chromebook today and the prong that plugs in to charge it is broken off. Unfortunately, it was not already charge up, on, and running when it arrived like Zen's. ::cries::

I know, right? I'm pretty sure I have some kind of charger with a bunch of adapters somewhere in my house, so I can probably get it to work, but i still have to find that before I can see if the device itself works. Frustrating!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I've run into a real puzzle on a network install. WIN 7 pro workstation (call it A) hosts shared accounting program. Accounting database is in directory that has been shared - full read, write, delete, change rights for EVERYONE group.
New workstation also Win 7 (call it B)- same workgroup (program ported from DOS requires use of workgroups not domains) can see existence of directory cannot access that directory, cannot even read contents. error message is that it does not have permissions. Except it can read files in another directory on the same hard drive of the same computer to which read only permission has been given. So workstations B cannot read a directory on Workstation A to which full rights have been given to EVERYONE, but can read a directory on Workstation A to which read only rights have been given to EVERYONE.
