This will become irrelevant when our wireless networks can reliably stream data; but for now and the coming years it's a good point.

I agree with what James says. A portable radio is a part of my emergency kit. For casual listening I use apps. By the way, I went to the Tunein website and the first station was WBUR. Nice!

I see how it is Jared! If the Verge does it; you have to do it! :P

Actually, there are a LOT of advantages to building your own desktop. You took all of my list, except; there's NO garbage-ware loaded before you get it. It's just the hardware, and the OS. That's all it should be.

Also, generally; box PCs are cheaper, but you get the bigger bang if you kit out your own.

So we're being nostalgic about being nostalgic? Pretty sweet! This is why I come back to this site. Nostalgia.

If you're referring to the whole, "Windows 8 will be tied to a unique identifier in the UEFI" thing, that will only apply to computers that ship in a box; and even then, people are free to create a recovery disc, wipe the partition, dump whatever other OS they want on it; and if they don't like it, reinstall Windows. As a matter of fact, activation will be a cinch, since the unique identifier can be passed to Microsoft and they can validate it.

It's the people that build their own computers I'm worried about. They have to continue dealing with the same licensing stuff as the last three versions of Windows.

I liked the old window that slid to the side detailing content, replies, and retweets rather than the fold-down style they have going on now. The old style had much better use of space.

What can we say, it's all being counted by volunteers. Eric of the Branson poll says the results should be widely available by the middle of the week.

It's crazy how fast the update process changed in a few months.
