If the main apps don't do that for iOS, then they are gonna lose a lot of potential users. In any case, you could just push the video from your computer.
YouTube, Dailymotion, websites that stream TV channels (which has been ruled legal, as long as it's not a pay channel), other streaming sites, etc.
shingi, why doesn't your mom just use the Netflix/YouTube/Pandora apps for her phone? Pretty much any smartphone that is even semi-decent has those apps directly.
This *does* use those apps on your phone.

So chromecast is just a streamer? Nothing more?
Meh, not worth $35 to me. It's interesting, but not worth that much.

Chromecast is $35. It needs to be more than just chrome tabs mirroring. I should be able to mirror any Google product display.
Still its cheap enough to be my main media streamer.
Niche Japanese developers left the PS3 a long time ago. Those games are on the 3DS now, and to a much lesser extent the Vita.
Given that the independence of Atlus is what allows them to put out such a large amount of games with such a large variety, I wouldn't be thrilled with any major company purchasing them. If I had to pick a large company to do so, I'd side with Sony just because they aren't huge micro-managers, whereas Nintendo is. I'd still prefer a smaller company like Gung-Ho or XSEED acquire them, though.Sony has a nasty habit of shuttering studios in recent years (Psygnosis/Studio Liverpool, BigBig, Zipper, Ingocnito, etc) plus they invest next to nothing into the Japanese industry these days. SCE has actually never bought a Japanese studio, they simply don't appear to value their home development community and seemingly prefer chasing Microsoft westward.
Nintendo's "iron fist" developer policies are also largely overblown, and is traditionally a western phenomenon anyway. Within Japan Nintendo funds a multitude of studios on a wide variety of projects, many with little oversight. If you look at the last Japanese studio they acquired (Monolith Soft) they're flourising these days with a lot of backing and a lot of discretion on the projects they want to do. Nintendo would easily be preferable to Sony for acquiring Atlus imo, and their track record really supports it.
Only the Safari iOS 7 icon looks meh to me. I like it the changes in general and am looking forward to the next iPhone. The battery on my 4S isn't great anymore. /first world problems
I can't really notice any major differences with Mavericks aesthetically. I think I'm still using Snow Leopard. I'm also looking forward to the next iMac, but I really want a Retina Screen. Hopefully, the rumors are true.
I'm still not fond of iTunes. I just don't enjoy using it.
I kind of like the new icons, but the problem is all (or most) of the non-OS icons are going to look very off (and do look very off) until the developers add their own Metro-inspired icons. And when developers start doing so, there are only so many icons you can make so simplistically while trying to make yours stand out. Basically they would look good as a launcher like on OSX, but I think they're pretty bland all over the screen like that. Apple did have to do something different though, bust most people that have come into the shop with iOS7 really hate it and want to get rid of it.
A source who has used a CDMA variant of the phone firsthand tells us that it features a display in the vicinity of 4.5 inches, a dual-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon MSM8960T processor, 2GB of RAM, and a removable Kevlar rear shell.
