  1. This is not AT&T buying Time Warner Cable. TWC was already bought by Charter. This is Time Warner the media company which owns HBO, CNN, etc. I do not see how this would have an effect on Sprint as Sprint does little business in media. This merger is similar to Comcast and NBC/Universal. It does signal that in the future there could be some changes in content delivery since you now have ISPs buying media corporations. Those carriage disputes we all see with cable could become more common with potentially exclusive content on other carriers. Although the courts did not allow a similar dispute in NY when Cablevision tried to prevent Verizon FiOS from getting the rights to MSG HD the home of the Knicks and Rangers.
  2. Went to check the latest on #Matthew and https://t.co/2Vw5gVbZ1p is down! Be safe everyone in Florida!

  3. I better not have left my #stats book on my other desk! I got work to do #science

  4. I do not know how people work with one #computer monitor. Dual-screen is great! Now I might need tri-screen! #productivity #morescreens

  5. Well @AppleSupport the last updated #MacBookPro is now 490 days old, will be over 500 days long before refresh. #Abandoned #anyonecare?

  6. The problem with 24/7 news and Twitter is the amount of sheer speculation that happens following events. Wait for facts! #chelsea

  7. I feel like a ping pong ball today. #crazyday

  8. With #iOS10 removing swipe to unlock and it taking awhile to display passcode screen, #winter and #gloves will add aggravation! #Apple

  9. I am thinking we will see a just below average #adult tick season. But remember, it is always the #tick you don't see that gives you #Lyme!

  10. The problem is not HiFi, it is your incessant complaining about the new Sprint plan because of limits on audio. You get into these patterns where you just complain and complain about the same thing. The Sprint limits are even not bad for HiFi. You have been told this repeatedly over the last few pages. If you need better quality pay the $20 more per month, after all these HiFi people can afford the greatest headphones, so they should be able to afford the $20. Also, if you are trying to convince me that a smartphone is going to give you HiFi sound through it's speakers, well then I have a bridge to sell you. You just simply cannot and will not get studio quality sound through ANY smartphone speaker currently or even in the future. You just cannot get the depth of sound from tiny speakers. Furthermore, NOBODY on here said we do not care about HiFi sound. Many of us do. You are make a ridiculous argument that people will complain about the new plans because of the audio limiting, which you have repeatedly been told that will not be the case. So just let it go. End of discussion.
  11. People are far more likely to be able to tell the difference between SD video resolution and HD video as compared to the difference in the audio being discussed here. Especially in MOBILE situations. If you are an absolute audiophile, then listening to headphones while commuting will still not give you a wonderful experience with distractions all around. Sure be an audiophile at your work desk, home couch, or on the toilet. All of those areas should have WiFi and much quieter surroundings than a mobile environment. I do not get why this discussion has been going on for so many pages. Arysyn, this is a non-issue. There are still millions of people that listen to Sirius XM and FM in their cars and portable radios, and guess what millions pay for Sirius XM, which via satellite is very compressed.
  12. I get both sides of the arguments I am seeing on this thread. On the one hand, Sprint has continued to get better with speeds, but the main problem I have had and still have is the consistency. You can have great speeds and then a mile down the road or train track have terrible speeds even with full service. These are the things that affect how people view the company. Yes Sprint is great in most locations but it still lags in many, and many of these areas are heavily populated areas. For instance, I still have issues streaming radio on Metro North coming from lower Westchester into NYC. The financial results last quarter were good but not great. I believe 2017 will be the year we see if Sprint will make it or if it will be bought out.
  13. Which is now Altice! They closed on the deal earlier this summer after announcing it last year. http://www.wsj.com/articles/altice-closes-buy-of-cablevision-1466515394
  14. It shocks me sometimes to see how Wall Street does not understand technology. I was recently helping someone with DSL and I just cannot imagine dealing with the speeds he was dealing with.
  15. FiOS 'was' their initiative to replace all copper with fiber. Wall Street did not like this plan believing that more revenue can be generated from wireless. Hence we are starting to see them sell off the landline division in many areas and slowing or terminating FiOS expansion in others. However, they did start expanding once again in Boston, but this is most likely due to political pressure.
  16. Someone in my building really loves #popcorners. It is not me. #hungry https://t.co/bFc0RkY6ic

  18. When talking about humidity remember you feel the dew point much more! #weather #summer

  19. The desk I use on campus is not near a window, so I didn't even know it rained! #gradstudentlife

  20. Wouldn't it be cheaper for #spiritairlines to have mobile app for boarding? Haven't flown them in years and won't be back.

  21. RT @Pete_Guiden: Kreyling: extreme cold matters, but species tolerance is dynamic. Late spring frosts are likely more damaging than midwint…

  22. RT @Pete_Guiden: @JustinRP37 it's that point where C and F temps are almost the same...we love our winter ecology!

  23. Wonder if @Delta will use this as a learning experience and have multiple backup systems in place on critical computers. #DeltaOutage
