Pardon me, but I don’t have a favorite fan. Please don’t presume that I do. Thank you.

and films like Jodorowsky’s Dune, which illustrate just how damn difficult a faithful adaptation would be

That’s odd, because the German version of Vampire is Vampir, pronounced “Vampeer”. In fact, there’s a lot of German words that use the “V” sound as we know it. Volks, Vater, Vogel, etc.

The day I meet a man who can give me one good reason why it’s better to have my text messages be in blue instead of green, I’ll vote for that man for president.

Maybe, but I have a hard time imagining that Vladimir Putin pronounces his first name “Wladimir”.

The whole “wessel” joke never really worked for me. Oh, I get it, he’s Russian and speaks poor English, but am I really supposed to believe that a Russian can’t pronounce a simple “V” sound? Especially when his native language is seemingly riddled with “V” sounds (including both his first and last names!). It’s not

There's Klingons off the starboard bow, SCRAPE THEM OFF JIM!

I’m all for the move to a digital headphone jack, however I don’t like the way they executed this one. First of all, it’s proprietary, not universal. You’ll only find this on iPhones and iPads. This means I can’t even use this on my MacBook. The beauty of the headphone jack is that it works on damn near every audio

I want them to do this with Douglas Rain:

I’m surprised it took them this long to think of this. Now they should make a iPhone case that looks like this:

First, your relying on generic useless terminology like “waterproof” and “water resistant” to try to decide what you can and cannot do with the phone rather than real, objective IEC ratings. I don’t think any phones are rated beyond IP68, which means they can only go to a depth of 1.5 meters for up to an hour. Does

I just read the fine print. “Water resistant”, not “waterproof”. Big difference. Suddenly, my interest has evaporated.

A 50 meters rating does not mean you can literally dive up to 50 meters with it, FYI.

The problem I have with this is twofold: First, right now I have one set of Apple headphones I carry with me. They work on my phone, they work on my stereo, they work on my computer, they work on my Roku, they work on pretty much everything. No adapters needed. It is the essence of simplicity. Going to a lightning

Actually, the adapter I want is the one that goes the other way around. That way I can plug these new headphones into my laptop, my stereo, or the hundreds of other things that still take a headphone jack.

Anyone who scuba dives, that’s who.

It’s my understanding that most of the functionality in the Apple Watch is directly tethered to your phone. Anyway, I’m not thinking about just swimming. I’m thinking about diving.

Okay, so it’s waterproof. But my phone isn’t, so...

There seems to be a slight flaw in the plan. They say that the lionfish will allow the electrodes to approach because they don’t have any predators and they don’t have any reason to be afraid. But when this robot starts killing the fish, then the fish will learn to be afraid of this new, albeit robotic, predator, and

There was an app?
