This isn't unusual and isn't really a knock on Apple, although you can certainly knock the iPad mini for any number of other reasons. But Samsung said the same thing about GSIII sales after the iPhone 5 came out, and Apple just announced record iPhone sales, so it didn't seem to affect them much. There will always…

Yeah, very few of the people that did those things for them were actually Nazis. They were either coerced into working for the Nazis or they just did it because it was a job, but there's a difference between doing work for the Nazis and actually being a Nazi and all that that entails. A person who is educated enough…

Yes, the phone that's probably going to take the crown as the best Android phone available when it comes out.

I have yet to see a forecast of 10" of rain for anywhere close to NYC. The National Weather Service is forecasting 4-6" total (over the next five days, not all at once), which is also what I've seen on the local news stations:

In addition to what others have said about the sensors in the bridge, trucks themselves have a low-tech but effective sensing mechanism of their own - the driver just needs to actually look at it. Where I live on Long Island, we have a lot of train bridges like this also, and often I see trucks in front of me where I…

I was going to say something similar. Obviously people who have no idea how to drive a truck, or how tall their trucks are.

The trucks aren't hitting the bridge. They're hitting the "crash beam" in front of the bridge that's at the exact same height as the bridge. That's why it's there.

Technology is cyclical.

Got me. And why do they buy those specific ones? Got me there too. Hurricanes last for a day or two and power outages might last a day or two beyond that (I know that they can last longer in extreme cases, but it's highly unlikely that any given specific person will be affected by an extreme outage). These people…

I don't read other responses since the implementation of the new commenting system.

But they *don't* grow faster if they profit, that's the point!

There was a little pamphlet with mine labeled "quick start guide"; IIRC it was one of those single sheets of paper folded into a little rectangle. Easy to miss, it was on the bottom of the box underneath everything else. I still have it but my box is in the attic now. Who knows, maybe they only included it with the…

Well I'm specifically talking about NYC, which is what the post was talking about too (Giz is in NYC, and they said 40mph winds *in NYC* would be crazy). I realize this storm has already done damage elsewhere and could do damage elsewhere again. But it's not going to do anything to NYC or even anywhere *near* NYC,…

there's a 55-percent chance of 40 mile-per-hour winds in New York City that day.

Hell, how about seaplanes? They do, I believe, fly and float

At the core of Metro is an idea: You don't need all that crap.

If it's a fake, it's a really good fake. I opened the image in Photoshop and yelled "enhance!" at my screen a few times until I could read the text on the preceding and following pages. It's all logical, stuff you'd expect to read about a new tablet. The preceding page talks about what's in the box. The following…

Nexus 7 also costs $199. This tablet will not.

And Android 5.0 will be called Froyo :)

I would imagine this is no more or less cramped than any of the many, many keyboard cases that already exist for other 7" tablets, including this official keyboard case for the Nexus 7.
