That's a foul. You can't jump into the shooter even if you appear to just have your hands up.

McLaurin and Griffey getting blocked twice in about 3 seconds was super sad.

Griffey and Richardson with back to back 3s. If they're hot, we're good.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 02:45 PM) I thought he got the extra three games for a second DUI? That counts as substance abuse apparently.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 02:17 PM) The thing is, this guy is going to have to stay clean, but considering the contract and the terms, it's a great deal for the Bears and he should be super motivated. Williams' numbers looked great when he played full-time. But since he's nearing 31, you have to wonder about his physical abilities deteriorating, especially since he might not be on the juice anymore.

Annual SOXTALK Bracket Pool!
QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 07:35 PM) Even though I've been right on a couple of things I could have been wrong on, it disturbs me what little evidence I use in my head to make these decisions. "I was up late one night and saw Oregon beat someone (can't remember who, I think they were good though!) so they must be pretty legit" Wasn't Oregon ranked 25th in the AP poll to end the year? How the hell were they a 12 seed?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 06:47 AM) LinkedIn somehow recommended Tex's profile to me despite neither of us using our real names on this board or ever having communicated outside of it. Creepy...

Technology catch-all thread
So Google has already developed Google Now for iOS...the caveat is that it appears that Apple may not approve it. I guess this is really a double-edged sword for Apple. If you approve it, it'll be one less advantage for Android vs. iOS, which could result in higher sales of iOS devices. But if you're Apple, doing that basically says, "yeah, we'll allow your great app in our App Store, even though it sort of goes against our guidelines, but it better be really really good or else we won't approve it". If they deny it, people might get displeased at Apple being anti-competitive. Plus, iOS users lose out on a great feature. They lose something either way.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 04:51 PM) New theme: Having a lead with under 10 seconds not being able to keep the ball in bounds. Had they kept that ball, they would have won easily. Stupid mistake.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 04:40 PM) Hybrids are underpowered to handle the software? I don't think any laptop can run a VM farm effectively. But the hospital thing he was talking about can definitely work better with hybrids.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 04:09 PM) They enabled it to read OAuth tokens which is a pretty standard protocol for mobile apps these days. Theirs is a little ahead of the curve so its a bit rudimentary in the back end but its essentially a mobile app that stores your preferences as attributes and then relays them back to an identity store for replication. I see, so it'll require internet access.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 04:04 PM) I added to my post with an example. We enabled this company to do that with encrypted tokens that can be revoked immediately upon loss of the device. But you have to communicate with the car somehow, what did you guys do for that?

Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 03:52 PM) I meant the "plug and play" capability. Lets say they have docking stations or something of the like. Dell will want all the components to be Dell, same with Lenovo, and others like Apple. They've tried the laptop converted to a tablet before and those were some of the obstacles. Personally I think there will always be two classes of users and not a whole lot of blending in the middle. I've helped Pharma companies deploy thousands of ipads to end users so they can securely access information and applications, but surprisingly there was still a HUGE need for laptops and PC's or enabling them to use they applications on a personal computer. IMO, data and computing power will move more to applications and the "cloud" then on the actual device. The need for an internet connection is the only downside of that model which i think will go away in the next 5 years. I believe you will be able to get wireless anywhere. Smartphones will become the identity store for most people as well as vendors, cars, etc begin to have the ability to read your identity off of the device. I've seen this in action and its incredible. With that technology I honestly believe that you will be able to walk up to a kiosk of sorts ANYWHERE in the world and it will authenticate you to your "desktop" and you can work just like you were at home or on the road. Why would docking stations even be a big issue though? Proprietary charging and docking ports shouldn't be that big of an issue. Apple uses them. Lenovo uses them. Samsung uses them. If a company keeps to one brand of devices that wouldn't be an issue at all. What you just said in your example is exactly why a hybrid can work. You have one centralized application on the device that can allow for touch/pen input as well as input through mouse and keyboard. Why buy a tablet + desktop/laptop when you can have one device? Why setup several devices when you can just setup one? And that last point you made sound an awful lot like NFC or technologies like it. I just recently bought some NFC tags and they're actually pretty damn useful. I have a tag by my door that sets a profile when I head out the door. I also have one on my desk that sets a profile when I'm back home. I have a keychain with a tag that toggles WiFi when I'm around campus (too many wireless spots = lots of connecting/disconnecting) and it can also toggle airplane mode when I find out I'm in a area without any signal (having your phone search for signal wastes a lot of battery). Plus, you can pay with your phone using Google Wallet, which is also kinda cool.
