Larger screen with a smaller form factor (from the Plus line) is the reason I don’t mind paying the premium.

The one situation where a smartphone is better in comparison to dedicated cameras is portability, always having it with you.

Now there’s an interesting idea, maybe they can tweak the mod privileges so that T_D can’t ban anyone. Maybe make the sub upvote-only so there can’t be brigading of comments with opposing views. Or just shut them down. They can spew their hateful bile elsewhere.

T_D is still online, so this is all meaningless

CR IMO is a whole scam. They rate a 911 and GTR as bad because they have harsh rides and are uncomfortable. They basically cater to cars that are Camry’s. Car has sporty steering? Rated as heavy steering that is tedious when parking.

And that’s fine. It’s not their reaction to the movie itself that matters. I think their criticisms of the movie are perfectly valid, especially as they are viewing it through a lens of 35 years of narrative development. It would be impossible for someone today, having experienced a goodly portion of what has been…

I think this is another example of a basic theme running through io9 for a while now — that its staff members are openly contemptuous of the very topic they are nominally covering, and the very audience they are nominally serving.

This is why USA needs gun control. Australia did it back in 1996 after the Port Arthur massacre; It was one of the few good things that the Prime Minister of the time achieved while he was in office.

You do not need semi or fully automatic weapons for hunting or self defence. It is very unlikely that a gun will save…

Denis Villeneuve said there won’t be a Director’s Cut, what you’ll see in theaters is the final version. Unlike Ridley Scott, he had complete creative control on the movie, from the shooting to the editing, so his vision is really what we’ll get, it’s not a washed down version pushed by the studio trying to please the…

Am I the only one that prefers the Extended Version of movies that I like?

That is refreshing to hear, that they seem to be trying to impart quality - even at the expense of making a child uncomfortable during the learning process. I’ve seen many schools that have bent to catering to our “instant gratification” and entitled attitudes here in the West that they fear teaching the old ways…

For most people, I don’t think non-iPhones are not alternatives. I have friends who have used my phone and will say “It’s so light, I like the shape. But I could never give up having an iPhone...”

Actually, millennials and asshats in general just love to complain. Let’s be honest with ourselves. But Bill you are on point. There are plenty of phones out there that ANYONE can buy for the cheap, may not be the latest and greatest but its still a functional phone. People can kindly fuck off about the price. If they…

Thanks for detailing why I haven’t gone on a vacation in 4 years, haven’t redone my driveway 6, or changed our window treatments in 10 years. Everything costs a fuck ton dollars. Take what you can afford, triple it, then add $2k (ish) and you’ll get the actual cost. Adulthood sucks balls.

“If you want to know the truth, I want the iPhone X because I want that camera. I wanted the camera on the iPhone 7 Plus but don’t like the giant size. ”

Build quality, shady patent offenses, built in factories that make Foxconn look like utopia. You need to understand Apple puts billions into R&D, these Chinese clone phone makers put 100's of thousands. Also they use android which is free, which begs the question.. why does a Samsung cost as much as an iPhone?

Nope... sorry... you’re shit out of luck on that.

“Even though I felt zero desire for him, it ultimately seemed less taxing to get drunk and let him have his way with me later that night.
