Pretty much the most important number for any monitor is its size. If the size isn’t known, then the other numbers are meaningless. You not only buried the lede, you didn’t even include it. (I will say the fact that it’s a 1080p monitor is also a non-starter, but that’s slightly beside the point.)

I’m trying to figure out what part of that lighting effect is NOT covered by the hand while playing. (IOW, what’s the point?)

Those links are reported as UNSAFE-PHISHING in Chromium Edge.

The photo at the top of the article is captioned “QC 35 II” when in fact the item is the QC 35 I.

Not sold out: Just purchased it, and my gift card will arrive Saturday.

“I can’t for the life of me figure out why records are making a comeback,” Really, Shep? Maybe because they sound way better than any other medium except reel-to-reel? (Even to untrained ears, like mine.)

Wait until you break the lip of a bottle with that thing. No; don’t wait: get a good waiter’s corkscrew (i.e., double-hinged). If you can’t get a great one for under $15, you’re not looking hard enough.

Just having an airline-branded credit card isn’t enough to save the baggage fee: for Delta and United (and, I suspect, American), at least , you actually have to pay for your ticket with the card to avoid the fee.

Took me about 5 seconds.

Rather than clutter the screen with shortcuts that get covered by any open application (especially on a laptop, where screen real estate is more scarce), pin Calculator and similar apps to Start. WinKey + a single click, and your app is launched.

A couple of points to emphasize: First, if you’re on a metered connection, you can turn off updates. Second, if you’re a HOME user, it’s simple and inexpensive to upgrade to PRO, which gives you complete control over updates.

The "Essential" doesn't include a stand; the stand is part of the "Deluxe Tower."

Been adjusting my mirrors this way for over 20 years (thank you, USAA!), and I haven't had a blind spot since starting this. As for backing up, I use my windshield-mounted rear-view, and don't focus too closely behind the car—just as you do for driving forward.

Scioscia's no different from every other manager, though. They all do that, and wait for the bench coach to give thumbs up or down.

I can see automatic IBB if there's no one on base, but if someone's on, make the pitcher throw—and the catcher catch—four wide ones.

D'you think gasoline prices in the US that matched those in Europe and Japan might spur development? We could just wait and see . . .

So instead of fixing iCloud (and Apple's horrible implementation of 2-factor authentication http://gizmodo.com/heres-a-shocki…), we get this? Pretty weak, Cupertino.

These photos were not leaked, they were stolen. That's a crime, not a security breach.
