I think the seatback screens with the large selection have taken over and will remain the standard. Especially since they have the option of charging for them.

Yes, just like every prior version of Bluetooth, and every other interconnecting technology standard in history. 

Thank you for including Driver: San Francisco. I rarely beat games, and this is one I not only couldn’t put down, but when I did put it down, its brilliant 70s cop show-style “previously on” sequences made it very easy to remember what happened, where I left off, and what I was supposed to do next. And the gameplay…

So I’m one of the people who actually *liked* the reboot, but even so, you hit the nail on the difference in a way I could never articulate. They’re very different beasts, and this is exactly why. The original was a horror movie that was funny. The new movie was a comedy.

Odd, my experience with Surface laptops has been the opposite. The face login works freakishly well.

I have a 2016 Fiesta. It’s as close to perfect for my needs and budget as I can reasonably get. I’ve been rather happy with the company as of late, and what they did with the car. I assumed my next vehicle would likely be a Ford as well.

Looks much better. Well, Sonic does. The movie still looks meh. But we'll see. I'm a huge Ben Schwartz fan, but there's something about the way his audio is mixed that makes him sound disconnected from the events and it's really bugging me. 

“STEVE JOBS IS SPINNING IN GRAVE”

It’s not about death, it’s about quality. Yes, “best by” dates don’t mean the food is definitely bad or unhealthy, but they are a good sign that the food is, well, no longer its best. And our experience with Amazon was they were regularly shipping us things that were clearly far from good.

My wife was regularly ordering Kettle Chips from Amazon by the box until she got a box of entirely expired chips which, when tasted, backed up their expiration clearly. She complained to Amazon who apologized and replaced the box with another expired box. This happened on one further occasion before she gave up…

So, in other words, there’s nothing wrong with Nest at all in this scenario and the user’s poor password habits were just as much to blame as they are when someone gets into their bank account, Facebook account, email, etc.

This looks great, but the price seems WAY steep for what it is. Plastic and off-the-shelf adhesive strips, no moving parts.

While I also pronounced it like you, I later realized Japanese doesn't work that way and figured out the correct pronunciation. But it takes effort to say it the right way after so long. 

I think they meant it was a reasonable estimate of what they would have been charged.

I mean, we may not be seeing the software interface, but it seems like it’s pretty clear what’s going on from the context clues. It’s a combination of resistance band and generic shaped handheld thingy that, combined with the leg piece, lets it track your position and movements for exercise. Seems like a rather smart,…

Lack of proper messaging and Assistant support are the main things that keep me from jumping ship, but I’ve gotten close a lot.

While much of that was Wear OS to blame, as mentioned, it was worse on all measures than other watches I owned. Slower, and with clear *hardware* problems in the charger design. My Wear24 that I bought for $50 to replace it ran rings around it in every possible way except style. So Asus was still very much to blame…

The ZenWatch 3 was by far the worst smartwatch I owned and that's even with an original Moto 360 in the mix. It may have been beautiful, but it performed like utter garbage, couldn't make it through even a workday, and was impossible to charge reliably. I like Asus, but I don't trust them to make watches. 

...it’s 11 years since this post and comment. I doubt we’re in the same situation anymore.

A few years back I had a string of car problems and had to rent cars a few times. I stuck with economy compacts because I didn’t need more, finding the Chevy Spark to be a shockingly fun little car. But when a 500 appeared in the lot I was super excited to get to take it out for a couple of days.
