I thought Aereo TV did have DVR.

I believe the main difference between them was that Aereo "hosted" the antenna's themselves and sold you the stream, whereas Plex is a "set up yourself" service.


That's interesting. I've got the larger iPad Pro that I take to meetings for notes. My coworker has the 9.7" and his seems more manageable / not as cumbersome. Perhaps it's due to our meetings being in large community rooms without tables, but there's something that's not sitting right with me. The grass is always greener, I guess.

As far as apps, GoodNotes is where I landed. It's handwriting recognition / search is pretty good, and I like the way it handles importing PDFs and Word documents.


I also use GoodNotes. I chose it because it's relatively low input latency and has handwriting recognition.


Google retired it in July of 2013 and made it a part of Google+.


This Android Central article says that it can use a standard Qi charger: http://www.androidcentral.com/moto-360-hands-redux


While I agree with your sentiment, the TSA agents are not the ones to be packing heat. They are asking for more local police presence.

"The screeners, who earn up to $30,000 annually, have not requested to carry guns themselves, but they do want an armed security officer present at every checkpoint, Cox said."


Armed security officer is not the same as a police officer.


I'd prefer to see armed citizens myself.


There are already plenty of armed citizens in the US. If this incident follows precedent, gun sales will have spiked dramatically.


Those armed citizens are not allowed in airports by law. There's a reason airports, along with schools, post offices, the state of California, etc, are called 'victim disarmament zones' by the concealed-carry crowd.


I've heard that argument. For me, it breaks down in that it assumes there's a correlation between the number of people carrying guns, and the number of responsible people carrying guns who will actually react properly when something happens.


I've yet to hear of a lunatic trying to shoot up a police station, a gunshop, or a firing range - places where guns are prevalent. Also, Israel arms their teachers[1] and school shootings have 'magically' gone way down. I'd like to think that the deterrent effect would play a significant role in keeping our kids and ourselves safe, aka the "an armed society is a polite society" argument.

Your examples are irrelevant because they're controlled environments - in a gun shop most of the guns are locked up behind bulletproof glass. The police make certain they're the only ones with guns inside a police station. And nobody would be stupid enough to start something in a place where people are practicing shooting targets with already loaded weapons.

The point about the teachers is a good one - though culturally and politically I don't know if that would work very well in the United States. But to be fair to your point, we would have to also allow the students to carry guns to protect themselves against the teachers, who now represent an oppressive and violent arm of the state after all, and we're down to the same problem - how does one tell the difference between a trustworthy, armed person and an untrustworthy armed person?
