I think Elon Musk is messing with us. The real design will be revealed later. Clearly this was put together in a weekend in a workshop to spoof the media.

The original Razr came out at a time when people (particularly Americans where SMS, MMS, and WAP hadn’t taken hold) were primarily talking on their mobile phones. For a limited time, the flip phone was the best form factor, as it put the microphone and speaker where they needed to be.

Pedantic point alert!

Correction: The Nazis did not exist until after WWI.

It’s not safe to assume that, but I won’t reveal my sources. You are perfectly entitled to dismiss my comment, but a simple test with an IR camera would be able to discern the difference.

Google’s 3D scanner system has a lot less points than Apple’s. I’m not sure how the attention detection works, but they may struggle to get this working if it requires the 3D point cloud, and not the selfie camera.

Why the public fixation on flying? It’s responsible for 2.5% of greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, cement production is responsible for 12%, and animal agriculture 13-18%.

If you read the f***ing paper (or just the opening sentence) you’ll see this is for Long Wave Infra Red imaging (8-12µm band).

I saw this at CES in 2010.

People keep pointing to air travel for its environmental impact, when it’s contribution to climate change is quite small.

This won’t result in better lenses. It will simply speed up the optimization process.

“The proportion of strict creationists is up 2 percent from a similar poll done in 2017"

The real price he pays is living with the knowledge that he killed the woman he loved, and the eternal question of whether he could have done something to “save” her.

While it’s true that “Bullet Time” was new to most of the audience, the technique dates back to 1980 (with some similarities to Eadweard Muybridge’s work in the 19th century), with Tim Macmillan’s student work at the University of Bath. He subsequently founded Time Slice Films to commercialize the technique.

I’m pretty certain Jar Jar Binks is dead. He lived a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

Strange! I wasn’t for a moment drawn in to “love fascism”, nor to root for the beautiful teens.

Coincidentally, I had a nuclear apocalypse dream last night. It woke me up at 4am, and it took me 90 mins to fall back to sleep.

Who’s worked up?

“Finally”?

You missed the first smartphone (IBM Simon, 1992), and the first phone with a capacitive touchscreen (LG Prada, 5 months before the first iPhone).
