Why not make the watch go to Dracula mode? Put an Apple Magsafe connector on the back of iPhones and iPads. Plug your charging cable into your phone, turn it over and "stick" your watch to the back of the phone. You likely have your phone and your watch near each other at night. This approach is just a bit more…

If they had used the admittedly more rare Boeing 737-100 (first model introduced) for comparison, the Dreadnoughtus schrani might be bigger and the chart far more impressive.

I've been successful with a one pedal method to start off with. They soon develop a touch for the clutch when the car is idling (1 pedal only). If they stall the car with the RPM's under 1000 RPM the clutch is undamaged. After 50 clutch engagements let the instructor shift from first to second. It's still painful…

"F1 is testing their new tire design, which features relatively normal 18-inch wheels" as if they didn't know? The cars work well with 13" wheels as they have for decades. The problem for potential F1 tire manufacturers is that the small wheels and tires look nothing like standard equipment tire muchless the…

My limited experience with Uber in NYC and Houston suggests that they can soon charge higher rates than licensed cabs because they offer better cars, better drivers and better service. I'm sure some have had a very different experience with Uber but I expect that is a small percentage of the rides. For myself, the…

Speak to African or Caribbean blacks and you may get a far different picture. I work with black foreign born engineers who without exception have deep disdain for American blacks. They speak of discrimination in their home countries (by other blacks) which is far worse than what is found here. All of those I work…

There are many environmental laws passed in California which get copied by other states to one extent or another and the politicians are proud for the state to be a trailblazer. In some cases California moves the goal posts so far no other state is willing to follow. The California Environmental Quality Act is such…

This is happening because they want to sell tires in large wheel sizes and greater margins as they will face less competition. It was hard for them to form a compelling argument for larger wheel sizes when almost all of motorsport use relatively small wheels. The advent of carbon/ceramic brake disks allows designers…

Let's get some perspective: in the past year Oklahoma has had 819 earthquakes, California has had 7,631 earthquakes of the same period. Even adjusting for differences in area Oklahoma is far from disaster. Texas has had far more drilling activity which includes water disposal and has had 70 earthquakes for the same…

A well thought out and cogent argument. I argue that if the cost of gasoline and diesel fuel were $8.00/gallon of which $2.00/gallon went to the highway fund many of environmental options you favor would be welcomed by a public with a new found interest in efficiency. I live in Texas where literally hundreds of…

Soccer is not a sport, just an excuse for men to leave their wives/girl friends to meet with their friends and get drunk. Many arrive at the game drunk and drink heavily before the game at at half time to keep the buzz on. To avoid even more drunken behavior no beer in the stands nor sold during the game. As a…

What's really important is that HK's subways as well as Japan's are privately owned. We know Asians are smart but how can they build and operate clean, air conditioned and on time subways at a profit when those in US can build only with massive cost overruns and poorly operate at a considerable loss? Tokyo's subway…

If this is but another Takata (Japanese manufacturer of airbags) failure like we have seen from Toyota, Mazda, Honda and BMW then I think the Cruze should be given a pass. Takata admits of egregious errors in the manufacture of the airbags compounded by poor record keeping which is forcing many car makers into…

Free absolute winner of an idea. Add a low profile charging port on the back of the phone. At night you plug in the phone to charge and you place the watch on the back of the phone. They both charge together and the phone gets updates daily. The charging port is powered even if not on charger to allow the watch to…

If it proves to be as reliable as their T87 they will have a winner. I own 2 Series 1 Nest thermostats which are far from the reliability one expects from a mission critical device.

Everybody understands that it is football and men's basketball that pays for the rest of the sports at elite schools within a conference. More than likely they are also the schools with big sold out stadiums and arenas. More than likely the bottom half of the same conference has smaller venues that are rarely sold…

If you could get PSA and Renault to bury the hatchet and jointly market their cars in NA they might have something. At any one time it doesn't seem that their individual lines are compelling but if you could cherry pick between them you would have a strong line up. Getting them to cooperate would be nearly…

One thing, Honeywell understands that thermostats are typically installed by contractors who have learned to expect the legacy products to last 20 years or more. I fully expect that Honeywell might be light on graphic design but will be heavy on reliability engineering to meet the expectations of those who will have…

Patch Management has little hard data to support their case. They extracted one chart out of a 223 page 1993 study by the Strategic Highway Research Program that doesn't appear to be using the same patching material. The study didn't see the big labor or cost savings that the web site boasts about. Since state and…
