YouTube already revealed that plan, they just haven't implemented it yet (to my knowledge).

Either way there will be ads, I just don't know if they'll be in-video or just page ads. I did say "IF it's ad-free" though...

If they make 25 times as much per thousand views, do you think they'll care all that much? Separating their videos into for-Vessel and for-YouTube could turn them a considerable profit, and possible push them to only showing trailers or much older videos on YouTube as an effort to push users to Vessel... That's why…

It's not about "YouTube videos", it's about better content. Right now, YouTube producers make 55% of the ad revenue from their videos. It amounts to less than $3 per thousand views. Alternatively, Vessel video producers stand to make 60% of the subscription revenue and 70% of the ad revenue, amount to somewhere closer…

Well, a) if it's ad-free, there's some benefit and b) if content creators make more money from it, it's likely they'll generate better videos (like mini-tv shows)...

That's what I thought this was designed to fix... Now I'm sad :(

Yes, but what can damage batteries is temperatures and amperage. The QuickCharge tech doesn't harm the battery any more than your average 1-1.4A charger...

There's some misinformation here worth mentioning: "QuickCharge" is a Qualcomm technology that doesn't have a negative impact on batteyr health. In fact, it uses higher voltages (not amperage) to charge the phone significantly faster.

To be honest, extremely difficult. The connections between the modules and the frame are proprietary, so it's not like you just take certain pins from the motherboard and associate them with certain pins on the module's hardware, this took a lot of time. I recall seeing a video of them showing off their spiral 2…

I think the appeal is for people/businesses that are looking for extremely specific features. Also, look at how many people flip their shit at the thought of a smartphone with a non-removable battery... Ultimately, this comes down to users being way more able to decide what's important to them, as well as replacing…

I don't know, I just look at it as a logical step for Ford. They found a way to use their newest, most efficient motor in a "supercar" and still pump 600HP. That's crazy. I'm a Mopar guy, so I look at the Pentastar engine as the tech that Mopar will likely start pushing into their higher-power cars at some point,…

As long as they don't put Ford Sync in there... UGH

Why are people so hung up on the amount of cylinders an engine has? It's a ground-hugging, 600HP, crazy lightweight, "supercar"... The V6 is a LOT lighter than the V6 they could have stuffed in there, which means that for maybe 80-100HP less you're saving a crap-ton of weight.

Looking at my place of employment (Air Force), I could see something like this being useful, except for the refresh cycle (there's no way in hell any military contract would agree to a 6 month upgrade cycle, the current one is something like 3-4 years minimum for computers, and the replacements are always a year or…

Can you rewrite this article, but replace all of the references to TVs, movies, and images so that they instead refer to music and sound quality. I DESPISE when certain music apps or hardware force equalizer settings onto users that distort the original music. Look at Beats, for example... Way too much bass compared…

I'll join in: The distinction being made here is that a "real computer" according to them (an opinion I tend to agree with) can run applications which don't require Chrome in order to function. This includes programs like Skype (the desktop version, I know they just released the web version), Microsoft Office, and the…

I like the notification and copy/paste options that come with S-I-C, but does it have any of the same pop-up options like LastPass has? I really love that feature, but I feel like it doesn't work all that well (if it sees a single Facebook icon that always ends up as the top suggestion in the Fill helper, which does…

Maybe North Americans statistically have larger rooms? An upright makes a lot more sense for multiple rooms throughout a house that are all carpeted.

I'v read through as much of the discussions between you and others on this, so I understand that you're pretty educated on how all of this works, but I think you're making a false comparison here.

True, but that was a significantly small portion of their customer base, I'd imagine, since most big city residents get cable broadcast for cheap compared to rural / suburban residents.
