Note to parents: If you track your teenager's location using their phone, they will start turning off their phone and saying the "battery died". If you take their phone, they'll consider it a worthwhile sacrifice to not have their every move watched and cataloged by their parents. If they're smart, they know how to…

I use Chrome on my Mac and PC, but I use Safari on my iPhone. Why? Because of Apple's restrictions, Safari is just objectively better. It renders pages more quickly and handles JavaScript much better than any of the third-party browsers. This is annoying, and I wish they'd change it, but it doesn't look like that will…

Look at little more closely at the source. 55% described themselves as very satisfied, and an additional 21% said they were satisfied, meaning the actual favorability rating- as of March 2012, at least- is closer to 76%. Only 9% said they were unsatisfied. The rest were ambivalent- which could be more of a function of…

50%? Wow! That sure seems like a lot. I wonder what study you got that from. Or maybe it was just a rough, anecdotal estimate based on your own experience and colored with your bias? That works too!

Yeah, that was my first thought. It's a nice thought, in theory, to be able to protect my phone this way, but they need to leave that hard reset option. If enabling such a feature disabled hard reset, I'd immediately regret it if the phone ever locked up.

I think it was probably the drinking more than the drugs. Some of his most brilliant, lucid, searingly insightful passages were written under the influence of various drugs. It was in his later years, after he'd essentially given up writing, that he gave in completely to his most alchoholic and misanthropic…

So, you're saying it's just like Mailbox, but uglier and without all of the other features?

Not quite.

There's a phallic subtext here somewhere, I just know it

Madison Square Garden is a hideous, stupid monstrosity that replaced a beautiful train station with a soulless monument to consumerism. There are a thousand concert venues already in NYC, but if they wish to rebuild the arena once it is rightly torn down, I hear there's plenty of space in New Jersey.

Unfortunately, any flood would not have damaged Madison Square Garden.

I've been using the beta for a while now. There are a few rough spots and some strange inconsistencies that I don't think will get fixed by the stable release- they're design decisions, not bugs. That said, it's a great improvement overall. It's generally fresher, prettier and more functional. Using it is, for the…

The problem where I live is that none of the mental health providers in my area seem to be taking new patients. At least, they weren't when I called around a dozen of them six months ago. I have to drive an hour to Albuquerque to see anybody, and as such, I currently have a psychiatrist and no one else. I did see a…

snip, misunderstood your comment

Lame. The Galaxy S5 will have a quantum coprocessor. You can use it to crack your neighbor's wifi and shit. Samsung will also be implementing "S Cat", where your phone will change certain behaviors based on whether a simulated Schrödinger's cat is alive or dead.

Well, they do have those weird tents that you can fit onto the back of an SUV bed. But yeah, I'm only 5' 10, and the Explorer fits me fine. I just assumed that a full-size SUV like a Suburban or Expedition would have a significantly longer bed with the seats down.
