It's very possible they had other iOS hardware, but not an iPad. An iOS developer really needs both.

Basically, there are two types of 3D glasses - active ones require batteries, passive ones don't. These would be compatible with TV's that use passive glasses.

Which 3D glasses? Real-D ones are fine for me, but IMAX 3D glasses do pinch my ears.

Yes, every company *is* at fault for the actions of their employees. That's why they have the ability to choose whom to hire and fire. And you can't say there's no way to completely deal with it, if my luggage has a video camera on it at all times that it is out of my hands, then they know EXACTLY who came into…

Did you finish reading the article? :) It lists what the problems are with the first-party apps:

Um, it most definitely is their fault. Luggage is given into their care, while it is in their care they are 100% responsible for it. It doesn't matter if "it's just some crappy employee", he was an employee of the TSA. If they don't want to be held responsible for theft, then they shouldn't have an environment that…

"exorbitant"? Sure, there are cheaper ways, but they aren't really that much cheaper than the $15 refills of food-grade CO2 that SodaStream offers.

This seems flawed. As far as I can tell they are basically giving two reasons online dating fails. 1. The services won't tell them how they match people so they can't evaluate that aspect. Um, that's not a reason it'll fail. And 2. the services don't take into account how much a person cares about a particular…

To be fair, they did "redefine" they way you use it - it's now electronic, and you press a button for how much fizz you want and it uses the exact amount of carbon dioxide to reach that level. That's quite different from the old days of manually pumping CO2 into the water over and over until you hear a buzz, and then…

As long as you are part of a well regulated militia, you're right, you shouldn't have to explain why you want such a knife.

May have been a cop following them, with a camera built-into the car.

"How To Crack the Passcode of Any iOS Device" is a rather huge exaggeration. This setup does a brute-force attack, trying each possible combination of numbers. I have the option set to delete everything on my device after 10 failed attempts. So they'd have to be damn lucky.

All he's doing is finding a unique way to advertise products that he sells. Nothing illegal about it. At worst he's probably breaking the Pinterest TOS.

At least it has something to do with cars. But Kotaku?! What does this have to do with video games?

Um, discarding half the lines doesn't make it 1080i. True 1080i means sending all 1080 lines in two steps, half the lines in each step. If you only ever send half the lines, that's more like 540p.

You do, but keep in mind that the reverse isn't true (they charge more for HD content), not all movies are available in HD, and some of the ones that are can only be rented in HD, not bought (The Dark Knight is a big example).

I don't think AirPlay/mirroring is really a big point, just an extra little feature. Because I can hook up my iPhone 4s/iPad directly to a TV, no need for an Apple TV. ATV just makes it wireless.

You can't discuss replacing Blu-Rays without discussing movie selection. And Apple doesn't even touch Blu-Ray in terms of content, even with big, popular movies from a couple years ago. For example, The Dark Knight can NOT be bought from Apple at 1080p - only rented, or bought in standard definition (ugh). Until…

I *soo* could have used this in the 6 months I lived in a tent in my parents' back yard in winter...

Yes, which is part of their plan to generate free electricity - they attached magnets to Steve Jobs' coffin...
