With billions of sensors deployed worldwide, the amount of machine-generated data will soon exceed what our networks can handle. But consumers and businesses will expect seamless experiences and real-time responsiveness. What does this mean for IoT devices and the infrastructure that supports them? More of the data will need to be handled at - or closer to - the devices themselves.

The pieces that don't necessarily fit
This free agent market doesn't match the Yankees needs. We know that. It's been discussed time after time, day after day, but this morning the good people at MLBTradeRumors listed the 11 players remaining from their initial list of the top 50 free agents. It paints a pretty convincing picture of just how little is out there. Here's their list.
1. Rafael Soriano — Significant cost, in dollars and draft picks, for a setup man.
2. Carl Pavano — There was never a real chance of the Yankees bringing him back.
3. Jim Thome — Hasn't played the field in three years. DH spot isn't available.
4. Vladimir Guerrero — Another designated hitter, best kept out of the outfield at this point.
5. Manny Ramirez — Probably a better defensive option than Guerrero, but still questionable. Plus, Manny in pinstripes?
6. Andy Pettitte — This one's not up to the Yankees. It's all up to Pettitte.
7. Brian Fuentes — If he wants to close, he won't come to the Yankees.
8. Kevin Millwood — Amazing how quickly the starting pitching market falls into the questionable zone. At least Millwood has been fairly durable.
9. Grant Balfour — Another setup man who would cost a draft pick.
10. Scott Podsednik — Left-handed, speed-oriented left fielder. The Yankees already have one of those.
11. Johnny Damon — Probably a better defensive option than some of the other guys who are primarily DHs. Might prefer an everyday role. A right-handed hitter would be a better fit.

(FAUCETT, Mo.) Randy Williams first season leading the Mid-Buchanan Dragons came with some growing pains.
"I think we learned a lot last year," Williams said. "I think we all learned a lot last year."
After a 3-7 campaign and just one KCI Conference win, the Mid-Buch players are a year wiser, and are buying into what Williams' coaching staff is selling.
"I feel like we are more prepared this year," offensive and defensive lineman Jacob Lawhon said.
Now one year into the new system, the Dragons can focus more closely on the red zone struggles. Mid-Buchanan scored more than 14 points just once during conference games last season.
Williams says that's something that has to change in a hurry.
"It was a new system for everybody last year, and it took until the end of the year for everybody to kind of understand what was going on," Williams said. "And we definitely had some troubles. That's something we have to definitely improve on this year."
Lawhon's leading the charge up front. He believes his line combine with the talent in the backfield can do some damage in the coming season.
"Definitely more experienced up front I believe, and hour skill guys are phenomenal this year," Lawhon said.
With the talent on the 2012 Dragons squad, and one year of head coaching on Williams' resume, Mid-Buch is ready to get back to work.
Williams: Looking forward to this year now. Looking forward to the second go-around.

The Castle Valley Special Service District received a $172,600 grant from the State of Utah Drinking Water Board State Revolving Fund. CVSSD manager Jacob Sharp said, "The purpose of the grant was replacement of the existing pipeline that has deteriorated due to the gasoline contamination in the ground. Since the discovery of the gasoline contamination in June of this year the District had repaired three pipeline failures, the last of which was the night of Sept. 13.
At this time the District felt it needed to do something or the line could continue to break and cause further damage. In addition to the culinary water line breaks the secondary line in this same area had failed and been repaired in two places, beneath State Street from Canyon Road to Molen Road and across Molen Road at this same intersection. The District had also replaced approximately 150 feet of mainline sewer that had been infiltrated by the gasoline contamination.
The District applied, and was granted the funding at the first of October. The project was then added to the District's Drainage and Waterline Project for 2010. The contractor for the project was Terry R. Brotherson Excavating from Mt. Pleasant. Brotherson had also done some waterline replacement in Castle Dale as part of the 2010 capital projects.
The total cost of construction and material for the project was $133,353.24. The engineering and inspection costs have not been finalized.
Any remaining money from the grant will be kept by the State.

Monday began the third installment of the BBC's impeccable update of the master detective (and one of my favorite shows): Sherlock.
Though the show adds modern language and setting to Arthur Conan Doyle's stories, their popularity is nothing new. Sherlock is the most portrayed literary figure in history in film and TV.
This popularity isn't limited to the screen, there have been numerous adaptations and continuations of Sherlock's adventures, and with his recent entrance into the public domain, this will only increase.
The following three eBooks feature Holmes going in directions that Doyle never dreamed.
- The Game, features Sherlock aided by his wife, Mary Russell
- Success Secrets of Sherlock Holmes, reveals the traits that made Sherlock successful, and helps you cultivate them, as well.
- In No Place Like Holmes, Griffin is sent to live with his uncle, who happens to live at 221A Baker Street.
Happy Reading.

We're also releasing three new CITY 45s this month. Blues groovers will plump for 'She Wobbles When She Walks' by Paul Clifton and Boyce Cunningham's 'Too Young', both previously available only on CD; vinyl DJs will dig having them to fill their floors. The most sought-after vocal to an instrumental in Northern Soul history was undoubtedly the Magicians' glorious '(Just A Little) Faith And Understanding'. It's finally available to the public on vinyl, in a superior mix to the very limited vinyl copies pressed to coincide with our recent "Kent 30" CD. Sherlie Matthews' song 'Rising Higher' is on the flip, sung by the redoubtable Marva Holiday with just a hint of the summer of love coming through. From the catalogue of producer Dave Hamilton, modern soul fans are going to adore the relatively unknown 70s and early 80s grooves of Nightchill and Romeo & Juliet that they may have missed out on previously.

When Cherry Hills Christian School fifth-graders return from spring break April 2, they will get a taste of what all students between first and eighth grade at the school will enjoy next year.
The taste of technology.
Upon returning from break, each fifth-grader will walk into their respective classroom with their own personal iPad waiting for them.
The pilot program, which will last the remainder of the school year, will go into full effect this coming fall when every student gets their own iPad as a learning tool.
"How to integrate them into the classroom, that's the big emphasis of the pilot program this spring," said Leza Shupe, CHC communications manager. "The first year will be a big test."
A test that is bringing a lot of excitement to staff and students alike thus far.
All the teachers at the school received their iPads just prior to Christmas break this year so that they could start searching for apps tailored for the classroom.
"We've been doing a lot of research figuring out what we like, what works... there's a lot of game apps," said first-grade teacher Amy Kirchner, who has seen an increase in motivation in her classroom as she has begun to integrate using her iPad into lessons even though each of her kids don't have their own yet.
"You have to prepare them for the real world. It's not an end-all, be-all for me at all, but it's an amazing tool," Kirchner said. "The self-pacing aspect is huge. There are so many apps where you start everyone equal and they grow as they grasp the concept. To be able to give them what they need is perfect. Instead of 'let's meet somewhere in the middle and you're going to struggle and you're going to be bored with the iPad you can self-pace.'"
Kirchner said she has found a lot of science apps and math apps, as well as some vocabulary ones that are ideal for her age group.
"If there is an app that seems to cross a large group of people, that they all want, we can get huge discounts on those apps and work that into our curriculum budget, and through the data management system in the building do a mass download to everybody's iPads," Shupe added. "There will be some apps that are just on teacher iPads and some we will just get across the board."
For those worried about the cost, the initial plan is that it will be $300 per year for each student, $200 for a second student in the family, and nothing for any additional student if there are three or more kids enrolled at CHC.
"If you bring your own you will have to clear it to factory settings, and you can sync it up later when we give it back in the summer. They have to be all the same," Shupe said.
For those who need financial assistance, the school has a program set up with King Soopers to help cover the costs, which for now, are in addition to enrollment.
"We have been doing a lot of school studies and have had teams go out to California to visit high schools that are using them," Shupe said. "It's hard to find schools where elementary schools are using them."

Have you ever been in a building where everything was gray; the walls, the floor, the trim? How did you feel as you walked into that place?
Those who are aware of their feelings are likely to find they felt less positive, are somewhat fearful, maybe weak.
Imagine a place that is all blue or all red or whatever color. Become aware as you imagine it how you feel physically and emotionally. Then imagine a place with a variety of well placed colors. See what you feel like now.
It is likely that the last was the most comfortable, where you felt happy, energized. That is likely. But if someone had grown used to only living with one color, any addition might seem wrong, uncomfortable, until that person got used to the difference. If they refuse to look at the new color or colors, they will never accept them.
We can relate that to the way we deal with people who are different from those we have known. A child learns something of differences in the family, especially if s/he has brothers and sisters. But they are family with a certain similarity. In beginnings of school and neighborhood relationships, other differences in people are noticed. In the on-going process of learning these may be accepted as a finding out what this world is like�unless something else intervenes to cause the child to label this difference as bad, as something to be looked down on, avoid or destroyed. Adult remarks and actions often do this latter.
We know there are a multitude of characteristics that consciously or unconsciously are labeled negatively at times. To name a few of these distinctions�it might be; age, ability, nationality, race, religion, dress, shyness, etc.
The kind of conversations we talked about last week will be occasions to talk about the benefit of variety. It is a way to head off negative ways of responding to differences. Discussion can take place as to what each child can do at their age level to stop name calling, shunning, mean teasing whenever they see it. That talking about will include reflecting on what happened, how the child or adult felt when they did act. If the incident happened within the family, the discussion can be carried on even further. Both sides will be able to give their thoughts and feelings. Forgiveness can be actively sought, given and received by each.
Parents need to warn their children of dangers re. strangers. But this can be done in such a way that the child can distinguish and trust other people.
Are you and your family enjoying a multicolored world of people?

National writer: Rangers have been 'most aggressive' team in Josh Hamilton chase
If the Rangers don't re-sign slugger Josh Hamilton, it doesn't sound like it'll be from a lack of effort.
The Rangers have been the "most aggressive" team in pursuing Hamilton so far, according to FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, who noted that bringing Hamilton back would help ease the loss of Mike Napoli to the Red Sox.
Rosenthal also said that the Brewers were on the "periphery" of the Hamilton chase.
Despite the perception that the Rangers won't go beyond three or four years on a contract for Hamilton, many executives around baseball still seem to think Texas has the best shot of landing the former MVP. A poll of anonymous baseball executives conducted by ESPN's Buster Olney had the Rangers edging out the Brewers as Hamilton's most likely landing spot, and our Evan Grant recently predicted that Hamilton would re-up with the Rangers, too.
Losing Hamilton and Napoli would sap some serious power from a lineup that hit 200 or more homers for the third time in four years last season. Hamilton led the club with 43 home runs in 2012, while Napoli tied Nelson Cruz for third on the team with 24, although Napoli needed 51 fewer games to get there. Napoli and Hamilton alone accounted for one third of the Rangers' homers last year.

The best in North Maine Woods remote hunting adventures
toll free 866 552 2038
We are Stoked for 2016 season. It was great to see you all in Harrisburg and Ohio.
Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in Maine bear hunting. Please review the information here and let us know if you have any questions. Our guided bear over bait hunt in Maine is a terrific experience with high success rates. For the time being, 2016 for Maine bear hunts the weeks of the 28th of August and the 4th and 11th of September are open for bear hunters.
Deer hunts will focus on the week of the 13th of November for guided hunters but camps can rented in advance anytime.
If you are Lucky enough to pull a Moose tag in units 4, 8 or 9 call us, we know where the big bulls are! Moose hunting is very successful. we also rent camps for Moose and Grouse hunting throughout the varied seasons.
Deer hunts for Northern Maine giants are conducted in November. We offer fully guided deer hunts at $1200.00 and semi guided $550 per hunter per hunter. We have many faithful hunters who consider our camp "theirs". We use stand, still-hunting and tracking methods and perseverance is the key to success on these elusive trophies. Guided hunters may look for 25% to 45% success, which are good odds in this area. Incidental bear hunting is allowed at this time and the hunt can be a combination opportunity especially the first week as bears seek their dens soon after that. The November bear tag must be purchased with the Big Game hunting license required for rifle deer hunting.
Our camp is about 4 hours from Bangor and 5.5 to 6 hours from Portland. Portland is serviced by more airlines and has less expensive car rentals so it may be the better choice. We do not pick up at the airport. If you fly in you must rent a vehicle. You can make it to camp in a car and (if you drive slowly on the 55 or so miles of improved dirt roads) should have no problem. Take the Golden road west from Greenville road or Millinocket to the NMW Caribou check in gate or East (right) from above Pittston NMW check in gate and take a Left from Pittston way or a right from Caribou way, up on the 490 road and come 13 miles and there we are. Right on the shore of Russell Pond.
We have had a terrific bear seasons these passed years 2015 ended up with a 90% shot opportunity and great kill rate, 2014, 2013 and 2012 went very well too. Back in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 we had increasingly higher shot opportunity percentage the first and second weeks than ever before. 2011 was a tough year for all Maine black bear outfitters and hunters with all the natural food. The Good News is we took 100's of pictures of fat, happy bears that went to den ready for our 2012 hunters who capitalized on the opportunity.
We certailny specialize in youth hunters. In 2007 we even had 5 kids 12 and under with their dads kill 4 nice bear and miss one. In 2009 hunters under 18 went 3 for 3 - We are very proud of our Junior Hunters!
2016 is filling up fast so if you want to come on a great hunt, as soon as you decide let us know so we can pencil you in. our Bear hunt over bait is only $1600 and covers food lodging stands or blinds full guiding and caping service as well as woods transport. Its and EXCELLENT value! A check is the best safest way to go. We also offer Credit Card payments through Paypal on the make a payment page of this website. 3% cc fee will apply The deposit is $400 per hunter to reserve space and then in May of the year prior to the hunt another $400 per hunter is due. Final payment in full is due by July 15th year of the hunt. Deer hunts fully guided are $1200 and Semi guided is $550. half is required to hold space per person balance due 30 days prior to the start of the hunt. Please do not hesitate to call 208 245 2458 direct if you would like to book a spot or need more information.
We offer high quality hunting and recreation opportunities from our lodge, 70 miles from either Greenville or Millinocket behind the North Maine Woods gate system. There are over 4 million acres of undeveloped working forest under this system. Our NR guests need to check in at the 24 hour gate and pay the access fee of $40 (reduced from NMW normal NR fees) per stay with us. We are located 200 feet from the shore of a Native Brook Trout fishery, which is fly equipment only. Many of the surrounding bodies of water (well within a short drive) allow liberal tackle. Baker Lake and 4th & 5th St. John now contain Muskie as well as the native trout.
Bear hunting over bait has always been a Russell Pond specialty. The season starts the Last Monday in August every year. We have exclusive bear baiting rights on about 430 square miles and maintain over 100 bait sites beginning as soon as the law allows. This gives bears the greatest time to establish a regular feeding patterns. This hunt is $1600 per person and that includes guiding, transportation to and from your stands, all lodging and 3 full meals per day. Success rates have been close to 80% overall and we do take many bow hunters. Fall bear hunters will not need bug netting. The only real bugs in the fall are the 'skeeters and they are not too bad (depending on your stand). We can and have accommodated groups up to 30 with notice but also welcome single hunters and often have guys come by themselves.
The current cost of license and bear permit is about $172.00; deer or big game license is $102 and currently includes incidental bear tag. The total hunt cost for 5 days of hunting and a 6-night stay for bear is $1600 this price includes transportation to baits and hide preparation for transport. Non Hunters may join hunters for $500 (based on availability) for the week in bear season or $450 (if space allows) for deer. Gratuities for your guide and cook are not included in the price of the hunt and are encouraged but are at the discretion of the hunter. Please call us at 208 245 2458 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions or would like to schedule your hunt.

Worth it.
"These aren't a bright red in person as they seem in the picture, but they're still beautiful. My biggest complaint is that I wore these out once so far, and one of the spikes fell off before I even left my house! I think it's a bad sign, but i love them too much to return them."

By far, my new favorite shoes.
"I've had my eye on these since early November, and kept my eye on them knowing that I wouldn't be able to purchase them until after the holidays. Once the holidays came and went, that was the very first thing I did. I could not have been more satisfied with my purchase; these shoes are gorgeous. The spiked toe is quite sharp, the spikes aren't dull, but that's what I was hoping for. They're edgy and whimsical, but with that perfectly classic shape of a pump. They're quite well made also, and the soles are pleasantly padded for a pair of heels. The only downsides are that they are quite slippery on carpet (fine on hard surfaces, the bottoms have a solid rubbery-type finish), and they run a tad narrow."

This conversation between Caterina Fake and her taxi driver is priceless and a much read about how she probably isn't going to be watching the Super Bowl
Oddly enough despite being a passionate NFL fan, I probably won't watch the game either. Â My problem is that I start to care about the NFL draft on Monday and I go strong all through the off-season and keep it up until about week 15 of the NFL season before I burn out. Â By the time the Super Bowl week hits, I can't handle anymore football which means I only pay a passing interest in the game itself unless Denver is in it. Â In other words, I'll be back caring about football on Monday.

Skip to comments.Trump steakhouse in Las Vegas fails inspection
Posted on 11/17/2012 6:06:55 PM PST by Daffynition
LAS VEGAS (AP) A Las Vegas Strip restaurant bearing the initials of celebrity financier Donald Trump was briefly shut down after health inspectors found violations including month-old caviar and expired yogurt.
DJT, the signature steakhouse at the Trump International Hotel, reopened Nov. 2 with a restored "A'' grade several hours after Southern Nevada Health District officials logged 51 violations during a routine inspection.
Thirty violations merit a "C'' grade, district spokeswoman Jennifer Sizemore said Friday.
Inspectors reported finding outdated, expired, unlabeled, mishandled and improperly stored food, according to a summary posted on the health district's website. The closure was first reported by KTNV-TV as part of a "Dirty Dining" segment focused on area restaurants.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Month-old caviar.... aka little fishies.... heh
Yuck. I'll get my porterhouse somewhere else if I go to Vegas, thanks.
My job used to involve visiting a lot of businesses.
I can remember some restaurants would look really nice and then when you went into the back they were pretty bad. I was surprised they had passed inspection.
I also would sometimes find one to be immaculate.
I've got a buddy who is a salesman for a food supplier.
He has some great intel on local restaurants, and as you say, you can't always tell by the serving side of the operation.
Methinks Trump's restaurant was singled out, gee I can't imagine why.
It would be nice to have inside info on restaurants cleanliness.
I know a guy who runs a huge food service which serves several thousand people at a time tho usually it is not that many. I can remember when that place used to have a case of food poisoning about once a Summer. The food was great but the cooks were not very clean.
After this guy took over, there was never another case. He was a fanatic about cleanliness.
how can month old caviar not have a stench about it?
"The food was great but the cooks were not very clean."
Guess that's part of the art ... ;-)
Maybe someone froze it?
eh, probably not...
good question... but it's Vegas how can you smell anything over the crowds?
Then look at the bathrooms. If they are out of soap or paper towels or the bathrooms are not clean, then you can bet the filter basket on the dishwasher only gets emptied when it's full.
I've worked in a lot of restaurants, I'll eat in very few.
Inspectors are coming soon to a GOP donor-owned business near you.
(Barack-O -Claus knows if they've been naughty).
The Donald to the restaurant manager "You're FIRED!"
If they're out of soap or paper towels then the employees' hands aren't clean from bathroom visits, either. An absence of hot running water in the bathroom sink is a problem, too.
I too have gotten to where I will not eat out any more than I have to. When I do, I try to be very courteous to the waitress etc.
That was my first thought, too.
As for month-old caviar, it kind of depends how it was kept, I should think. Sealed jar in an icebox?
If I could afford to put caviar in my refrigerator these days, I wouldn't be in any hurry to throw it out.
There was one store on my route a discount grocery chain I think it was called Super Foods that was even worse OMG, I wouldnt buy Rat Chow from that dump.
The cleanest stores I ever called on were Giant, a Maryland chain. They were very well run and very clean, exceptionally clean and thats where I shopped when I lived in Maryland.
That means they found one can of outdated caviar....which may not necessarily be unusable, a frozen package of something with a rip in it and a partridge in a pear tree.
What a joke....
I remember a bar in Western Kansas. I actually closed it down.
It did not look particularly good in any way but I was a bit shocked when I went to the back. There was a beer tap which actually looked nice but on the other side was just a large bucket like container, open to the air tho it was in a cooler.
There was several dead insects inside the bucket.
I travel a lot and there are so many places I go where I bring my own food because I will NOT eat at any of the establishments. Be they restaurants or grocery store food service.
A friend and I exchange notes on places we will eat at and it usually starts with...well, I didn't get sick there. Doesn't matter if it's a high end place or a 'dive'.
And I agree...you can usually tell about sanitation by taking a trip to the bathroom. If it's not clean...I'll just have a drink and then go w/o any food.
Re Trump...he's a loud mouth jerk...but I'm not going to blame him for the restaurant in Vegas. It's not like Trump is a chef. He just licenses his name.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!
and the problem was????? (the insects were small and on top....the beer dispensed from the bottom)....who cares? (was it cold??)
You must have been one of his regulars.
"Poppy got sloppy"?
The bacteria on the menus far outweigh the month-old caviar. Research points to nasty! Have the waiter/waitress read the menu to you!
The place I mentioned earlier where every Summer we all got food poisoning was also a place I worked during the Summers.
All the cooks were Black. They were a nice bunch and as I said, turned out great food but I do blame them for the food poisoning. I remember one time I got it, I awoke during the night with my insides hurting. My roommate was already up and he asked if I had it too?
I asked what he was talking about and he said everyone had food poisoning. Within seconds I was on my way to the toilet.
Maybe a half hour later the retreat Dr. (we had a staff Dr. back then) was in the boys dorm recreation room passing out medicine out of gallon jugs. It contained heroin I was told. It did work but boy I was sick.
On the other hand, I ate at the training table at Troy University. We ate in the main dining room after everyone else had eaten. They would close the line and we would go through. We got the same food the students got plus a few extras such as steaks. These cooks were also Black but we never had a case of food poisoning there and we ate for 9 months a year.
I have never been a fan of turnips but they really knew how to cook them at Troy back then. They were delicious.
I once went to a French restaurant, and there were actually snails on my plate....can you believe that?
good thing they don't inspect houses (sshhh not so loud). my kitchen wouldn't pass in 20 seconds and if they ever watched me cook. i am very careful with thawing and handling fish and chicken but how many of you wash your hands BEFORE emptying the clean dishes in the dishwasher?
i am also old school and was brought up that a little dirt wouldn't kill you but would make you healthier. i think some of the childhood ailments today are from too saniyary conditions.
I rest my case. . . .
I've closed down many a bar. But funny... I don't remember them... ;-)
I was just thinking. Neither I nor any of my 4 Brothers and Sisters ever got food poisoning from Mother's cooking. That would cover around 18 years for each of us plus the many times we ate with her after we were grown.
Mother was very clean but you would think she would have messed up at least once. As near as I can tell she never did.
The one I closed down was permanent. We had the locks changed.
It's probably *pay-back* for his intrusion into the messy world of politics.
Round these parts...inspections are not that frequent....due to cut-backs in personnel...perhaps annually.
Don't get me started on how filthy hospitals are...and lacking in common sense sanitary practices.
The Donald being such a narcissist is probably stinging from this event....he being so proud of his brand and all. He should stick to real estate development IMHO....and just fade away.
So, we have local union inspectors and Worldwide Yahoo attacking Trump. Before long the Donald will disappear into a secret prison gulag. Mark my words, people will start disappearing anytime now!
It's been going on for a while now, least since Clinton. and let's not forget Marilyn Monroe.
For several decades the number of unusual deaths surround high ranking Democrats has been statistically aberrant.
Methinks someone is going to get fired!
Jesse Jackson admitted spitting in the Food served to White People when he worked in a Restaurant as a young man.
Nowadays, Blacks just Vote for the Commie who gives them other people's stuff. It's easier than having to get a job so you have the opportunity to spit in the Food.
Oooh, was that a racist comment? Check back with me when Romney gets ONE VOTE in Philly.
I just got back from a week in Vegas for work. The food wasn't great anywhere I went. Very expensive, very ordinary.
I just got back from a week in Vegas for work. The food wasn't great anywhere I went. Very expensive, very ordinary.
The Denny's at the South end of the strip (near Circus Circus) is pretty good. Handmade burgers, friendly staff, the manager checked every table at least twice. This was last Wednesday afternoon.
Sure, it's Denny's, but it was a pleasant surprise, to say the least.
JMHO, ymmv.
Good thing no one *inspects* the stuff in the back of my fridge! Heh. I once had yogurt that was 6 months past expiration...it tasted fine.
The joke around here...is that the only time my fridge really gets a through cleaning....is when we have a power outage...so since our last *big* one....just B4 Halloween.......I'm all good for a while. :)

WebRTC is about the data channel as much as about video and audio conferencing. However, basically all commercial WebRTC applications have been built with a focus on audio and video. The handling of "data" has been limited to text chat and file download – all other data sharing seems to end with screensharing. What is holding back a more intensive use of peer-to-peer data?
