I still don’t understand why Apple swears off having a convertible touchscreen.
Microsoft’s iMac competitor announced this week is like a friggin digital easel.
Isn’t Apple supposed to be the home of the artists? From what I’ve seen, the actual artists are starting to switch to Surface, and that is bad for competition.

While we’re at it, let’s just not touch strangers at all and use a bow to greet each other. It is respectful, formal, and looks cool.
It also keeps germs and sweaty palms out of the equation.

By all means

To me, this isn’t a hard nut to crack:
“Please don’t send me stickers anymore. I’m glad you like them, but I don’t.”
<stickers continue>
“If you value our friendship or communication, please stop. I’m letting you know that this really annoys me and I don’t appreciate it. If you continue, it tells me you really don’t care”
…

I have a 6 as well.
I have to say that this update is far better than most other updates I’ve seen on a -2 generation phone.
The simple answer: It seems faster than 9.3.5

Agreed. I’m just glad to see the pendulum swing back a bit from the extreme view of “everyone must go to college regardless of the financial consequences”.
Some people are actually considering the consequences of such a large loan, and making different decisions based off that.
Some choose do go into another field that…

I have to shake my head whenever I hear people say they’ll just skip school altogether rather than take student loans - loans that typically have extremely low rates, can be deferred, and are going toward putting you in a career that will cover those loans and then some for the rest of your life.

Blazing Saddles was satire, though.
They weren’t saying all of those offensive things for shock, but to point out how truly disgusting that time was in regards to race & women.
They just wrapped it in comedy.

This is AT&T’s way of saying “We don’t want your business at that low of a price”.
There is a certain point that a low-paying customer isn’t worth the hassle, especially on a post-paid plan where they have to try to collect money.
They would rather you use GoPhone, which they own, and get your money up-front.
If you do…

For my data plan & phone level, AT&T and Verizon are the same cost: 16Gb for 4 phones = $150.
However, Verizon charges $5 a month extra for “Safety Mode”, which is the same thing that AT&T is going to start including for free: The end of overage fees while still allowing you to do emails and basic web browsing.
Since…

I’m seeing a lot of misinformation about the ability to get rid of the digitial to analog converter (DAC) with phones.
The DAC stays. Phones have speakers. Speakers are analog. They need a DAC for those, so analog is still in the phone.
The Apple lightning connector CAN output an analog signal. The pins are dynamically…

I have an iPhone, no Google Now, nor the time to train Waze.

You’re quite right, I was thinking of 17Hz.

17kHz is the stuff that causes their windows and dishes to rattle. That’s what gets the cops called.

I always think it is adorable when my parents ask for a manual for their new iPhone.
However, we’ve gone a bit too far to the other extreme. It shouldn’t be an Easter egg to discover there is a feature on your phone that you’ll use frequently.
In other words, why isn’t this built into the iPhone already? I’m not talking…

Only slightly on-topic, but why is jury selection a thing?
Wouldn’t a random sampling of local people be enough?
Perhaps a simple test of a logical statement being read aloud, followed by a test for comprehension, would be enough to eliminate those that do not have the faculties to be on a jury?

Depends on how close you watch it. Seems like if I let it go 30 seconds too long, I’ll see the whites creep up the sides of the yolk.
If I let it go a minute or so long, the tops will be covered and the yolks will be “medium rare”, if you get my meaning. 1/2 runny and 1/2 firm.

Much easier: Put a lid on it and cook slow (med-low on my stove). The steam from the egg itself will cook the top enough to make sure all of the white is done.
I usually use a lid that is smaller than designed for the skillet, so the top of the lid is closer to the egg.

What I’m saying is that radio is a far worse system of tracking actual “plays per listener” and getting money to the right people than YouTube, but is someone considered legit while YouTube is “stealing”.
YouTube knows exactly what has been played, and the number of times it has been played. Artists can and have…
