The google integration is super-helpful, but I would guess that even a basic-basic Android user is likely to miss the widgets. Your wife may not; I can’t speak to that. I know that my 65-year-old mother, when she switched from Android to iPhone about three years ago, complained about the loss of her Audible widget to…

My biggest problem with iOS are two-fold: the lack of proper widgets, and the locking-out of real time device information. The widget one is obvious — I have a calendar widget on the page next to my home screen, so I can look for a glance at the upcoming month and see what days I have appointments on; I have an…

There are just things that I think are poor decisions in iOS. Force touch is a majorly inconsistent feature—you essentially have to learn where and when its usable through trial and error, which seems antithetic to Apple’s software design ethos. I also really miss the app drawer. Even with folders, I find iOS…

I have a Phillips Ambilight tv from back in the day when they still sold those in the US.

I wish we could hop in a time machine and take a look at the response that got back then... it wasn’t great and a lot of people called it gimmicky but it did so much to reduce eye strain and make your tv much more engaging in the…

Didn’t Galavant already do that?

I’ll answer, for what little it’s worth. Their domains are inexpensive and I’ve never had any problems with them. If you’re a power user, you may be looking for more advanced features they may or may not offer; I legitimately don’t know. But for my rinky-dink personal website that I pay like $3/year for, it’s been…

If I’m outside with no one else around, is just sneezing into the open air (ie the first diagram) really so bad?

Oh God, I’ve literally been calling it San Peeedro forever. That never even occurred to me that it’s not supposed to be pronounced that way (even though that’s how basically everyone says it).

Well, in the 70's my dad drove his good old American car up to “town”, about 10 miles, and noticed a serious squeaking. At the gas station, they found a kitten in the wheel well. Needless to say, my folks adopted him, and named him Auto. True story, be skeptical if you want; won’t change the fact it happened.

When commenting on incompetence, it would probably be wise to read your comment before you publish it.

One of the things I hate about iPhone is that you can never ditch the Apple keyboard. Not entirely, at any rate. It’ll pop up any time Apple or an app developer decides a particular field is “sensitive”, which sometimes kind of makes sense (passwords, credit card numbers, and what not - I get why they’re considered…

Ive always put the high popularity of NAME on its timing, released close to when Harry Potter wrapped and a generation of fantasy fans were looking for the next thing that wasn’t too different.

I read the first book and got through the second until the part where Kvothe was learning sex magic from a fairy goddess...and lost interest.

So essentially, Ridley Scott muscled Neill Blomkamp out of fixing the Alien series with Alien 5 and has pooped out another bad movie instead?

Rothfuss is the one writer who’s actually slower than Martin. He has two things going for him—he’s younger and he’s only supposed to be writing a trilogy, but I’d never recommend him as a cure for those frustrated by Martin’s pace.

Face it: GRRM has his focus on other things right now.

The Randian cryptofascist who said “First of all, I don’t write fantasy. I write stories that have important human themes. They have elements of romance, history, adventure, mystery and philosophy. Most fantasy is one-dimensional. It’s either about magic or a world-building. I don’t do either.” - Terry Goodkind?

Hunger Games? Really? Really?
