Yeah I really like the ambient sensor on the Moto 360. The AMOLED is potentially a good battery saver for ambient mode though, I really wish someone would make one wiht both the ambient light sensor and an AMOLED screen. I’m kinda pissed at Motorola for doing LCD again.

It’s hard to tell from the pictures, but is the screen set down into the bezel? It’s about the same thickness as the Moto 360 on my wrist, but the Moto 360 has the screen sticking out above the bezel, and the bezel is angled a bit on the corners, so on the edge it’s not nearly as “thick” as the actual thickness of the…

Interesting. In my experience it is socially acceptable, I’ve seen a wide variety of people do it, not just my small social circle or something. Perhaps it’s a thing in my geographic area (the northeastern US) but not a universal thing.

It’ll be interesting to see how the new button gets used in practice. As you mentioned, Zuckerburg has said its intention is empathy, but due to the lack of such a button so far, it has become socially acceptable to hit “like” on a sad status, and this indicates empathy. The “like” button is basically a general “I…

Still using office 2007 at work...

Bluetooth Earbuds. I got them relatively cheap (on sale for $30) and I love them in theory, especially because I have a Moto 360, which means I could use them to listen to music off my watch, no phone needed.

At $60 I agree. But sales vary, and other phones can have sales too. When this is on sale for $60, maybe the G is on sale for $80, who knows. If you can get this on sale for $60, then great. But my point was that at the MSRP, I don’t think it makes sense.

The way people count skips has always bothered me. If I throw a rock, it bounces, then bounces, then goes in, that means it hit the water three times. People would say it shipped three times. But no it didn’t, it skipped twice. So did this guy actually skip 88 times, or is it really 87?

Cool code name -> mediocre real name. It’s an annoying pattern.

True, I would agree with that. Though the fact that this article was spurred by something said by a doctor who is running for president is worth an extra face palm.

I would agree, though that’s not how most people see it when they get a ticket. I think it’s because there’s sort of a grey area there. Like if the limit is 35, clearly going 100 is wrong (could hurt other people in an accident) but is going 36 in a 35 “morally wrong”? That’s a more difficult question.

Every time I see an article like this, I get more and more disappointed in humanity.

I know they don’t write the ads. I could be wrong, but my understanding of how it works is that EA makes an ad about Call of Duty, and ESPN makes an ad for an upcoming baseball game. They both pay Google to show these ads to people. Google sees that I like video games, and so chooses to show me the Call of Duty ad.…

I don’t have kids, so I’ll admit I have no idea what I’m talking about. But I’m not sure I agree with that “no morality its just a traffic ticket” thing. If you remove the morality, and make a simple it’s a rule and you broke it, then that boils down to “it’s wrong because I said so”. As a kid, that was the most…

“For instance, Apple News doesn’t seem to be a big fan of clickbait photo galleries.”

I disagree, you should look at dollars not percentage. Percentage shows that iPhone hold their value better, yes, I agree on that point. But my original point in my original post was that iPhones are very expensive.

Does anyone remember the Pokemon Google maps thing from April fools? DID ANYONE WRITE DOWN THE COORDINATES FOR MEW FROM THAT?!?!

Haha yes, it’s the song of time!

I’m assuming she was being hyperbolic.

I find this point of view interesting. Many Apple fans want an iPhone because its an iPhone. It’s a bit of a status symbol, and they all look the same for a reason. iPhones aren’t generally about having “your” device, it’s a about having The Apple Device.
