apple tv can enroll into mdm to lock it right down to just being an airplay receiver, can put a custom standby image on to get it corporate friendly, generates a pin for connecting to it, proper wifi stuff can do bonjour forwarding. basically its very needs suiting for the low low price. yeah you have to use macs but if your company still uses windows pcs then you probably dont have things like conference rooms or displays bigger than 14 inch crts anyway.

nfl surface deployment going about as well as you would expect: http://deadspin.com/nflers-cannot-figure-out-how-to-use-tablets-1638324162quote:But a problem kept occurring. [Danieal] Manning would show up at team meetings, ready to work, tablet in hand. "I open it, I'm ready to go and then…" he said, staring straight ahead, "the battery is at 33%." In one instance this summer, Manning panicked when he saw the low battery. He started feverishly working to get as much in before the battery went dead all while not tipping off his teammates of his crisis. "I [thought], 'Man, I've got a little bit of battery!' I'm trying to jam as much in as I can," he said. "I'm drawing plays down and I'm doing it as fast as I can." quote:Indeed, coaches can be even more confused than veteran players. Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he keeps younger assistants around to figure out the technology. New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick—who is famous for being on the cutting edge tactically—admitted that he hasn't figured it out.

"hrm, yes, i think that taking this card with a chip that failed tests as a workstation GPU and was binned for consumer game use should get unlocked back to workstation status because i have faith that it can just magically get better also you look like you have aids, have you taken oscillococcinum for that?"

what was the card that just had a software switch to turn off the extra stuff, so you could just flash the firmware for the faster card

there were actual quadro/geforce differences besides binning but if you are doing this to a gaming card none of them really mattered, and the app in question probably didn't care about those anyway
