The first time I saw this I wondered how they did it without destroying the electronics. Now that I know how they did that, I’m wondering why you would take a light weight, basically indestructible object and cover it with something heavy that will shatter if it hits the ground wrong.

For what an iPad costs, it should be able to run OS X, not just be a gigantic iPhone. I want to be able to see multiple apps on the screen at once and have the option of using a trackpad or mouse when I need more precision than a touchscreen offers. And have some mechanism for bearing its own weight so I don’t have to…

I doubt it creates /that/ much heat. Tho if they were smart, they could do auto shutoff after X time.

I’m a powertrain engineer and I’m already convinced. Mostly because we use SLM (sintered laser metal also called selective laser) for prototype components that would be cast in production. Can go from 3D model to finished part in a few days. If we wanted a prototype sand cast part it would take several weeks.

But not every public gets to vote! Isn’t that what happened with the new Braves stadium in Cobb county (that the powers that be did it on their own authority without ever asking the taxpayers)?

4K resolution on a 5-inch screen smacks of “because we can” more than any practical application.

Don’t hold your breath. After Lenovo took over I read that they said all their phones will be 5 inches or more. No small phones. :(

It’s on my last resort list but the 5.2 inch screen is too much for me. The most I want is barely hitting 5 like the Nexus 5. 4 point anything is the sweet spot for me. I have too many requirements unfortunately.

No real point in buying this phone now. Mobile World Congress is a little over a month away, and a bunch of new phones are going to be announced, most equipped with Snapdragon 820.

I’ve always wanted one of these but the damn price is too damn high! I want a compact phone at an affordable price that’s also not chunky as fuck. Ugh. The struggle.

He truly mastered minimal expressions with maximal effect.

He really was the only reason that Robin Hood was watchable. And he KILLED it. So campy. On one hand he’s so comically inept and incompetent you knew he’d lose. But he also was vicious and had power.

Exactly. Personally there are just too many on the screen. Put some shiz in a folder or something.

I am absolutely devastated by this news. Alan Rickman was one of my absolute favourites. Ever since first seeing him as the excellent Hans Gruber in Die Hard, I just could not get enough of him.

Lately I’ve been hooked on making Chipotle style burrito bowls at home. For each bowl I start with half cup each of brown rice and black beans topped off with whatever veggies I have on hand. For the protein it’s either grilled chicken or steak, along with some diced avocados, and a little salsa to give it a kick.

It’s about selling new readers #1 issues, not 6 months after some series began. Also shafting FOX on FF.
