Sweet, sweet karmic retribution for CBS ballooning up their NCAA Selection Show from an hour to 2 hours only to have the bracket leak online (for the first time, iirc) ~25 minutes in.

Yet another good reason to own a PC:

'Beginning at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, you can access the sale by clicking the "Special Offers" tab at the top of your screen. Then, click the green "Details" icon to the right of your Exclusive Opening Day Offer. (The use of a PC may be required, as not all smart phones and tablets support our ticketing system.)'

Post the link and I'll test it with my Chromebook.

But honestly, who builds a system that doesn't support mobile devices in 2016?

I happen to know who sweetcell works for and would be very disappointed with their IT dept and web team if this hasn't happened, especially with their global reach.  

yup, i can remote in to my PC at work, but video editing and photoshop are no-go's.  on a personal note, i might end up using this machine for making noise.  might be nice to make music on a laptop, instead of being tied down to the PC in the basement...

also, it pisses off smackie

You call that noise!!??!??

I dunno.  But who stops accepting print-at-home tickets?

Although, I'm not 100% sure that the citrix receiver works all that well on a chrome book
(the two star reviews on the Play store sound like it's not working that great)

This is a space I also work in and I can assure you it works absolutely fine.

yep, and there's probably a post from me 50 pages back celebrating the debut of the full citrix app for chromebooks

[vansmack]

This guy, gets it.

I bombed my SCOTUS interview yesterday. It's not going to be me...

Funny, tangential story: did anyone else know Secretary of the Interior has nothing to do with Interior Design? Because, boy, was my face red. . .

Took a little longer than I thought:

While greatly enhancing the experience, it also greatly enhances the chances of getting caught with your pants down.

i'm pretty sure smackie was somehow behind this:

Finally got around to trying this and it blew my mind.  If you have a Google Cardboard or something similar, this is the best use I've seen yet, and I'm stoked about getting an LG 360 Cam hopefully this weekend.

I'm not really sold on VR, but for the first time ever, I wish I had a higher quality VR system than my $9 Cardboard.
