I have a problem with video (specifically autofocus). Many of my recordings have a weird “pulsing” effect where it seems the camera is constantly changing it’s focus while recording (many times per second). This pulsing effect makes the video look wobbly and the problem can’t be corrected by any stabilisation

Sony cameras suck at battery life. I’ve had to buy 3 batteries just so I can be sure I can take pictures all day. Sometimes a battery only lasts a couple of hours..

I very much doubt it! Home made cables are very unreliable compared to a proper moulded patch cable. Can’t say I’ve ever used a home made cable in a data centre installation - only at home where I’ve had to feed them through small drill-holes in walls etc.

Not really the same as you can’t receive calls and texts (and iPod will not keep it’s WiFi connected unless you’re actually using WiFi). Plus you’re limited to WiFi calling, which means you actually cannot make any calls in 2G areas (or even slower 3G areas).

If you get it on contract, you’re effectively paying around $900, not $100. It’s spread over 18 months but you still have to pay it.

Does it still have the horrible rolling-shutter/jello effect?

Chris makes it sound like they’ve changed their policy, but MS has never said anything which would imply they’re making Windows 10 completely free (for anyone) - they have always said it would be a free upgrade to existing users of Windows 7 or later. Whether you’re a beta tester or not is therefore irrelevant.

This is no longer free. EasyDNS now charge a minimum of $19 per year.

It’s mega-bloated though. It’s written using some weird browser-based cross platform framework. As such, it installs to 120MB and uses 200MB of RAM - just for 10 TO DO items. That’s more RAM for this list app than the total amount of RAM currently being used on my PC for Adobe Photoshop CS3, Word, Excel *combined*.

iMessage follows you wherever you go to. What is your point? Will Google Chat follow you when you switch to a platform which doesn't support it? No. Because it has the exact same problem.

Not in any way you could easily see. Even for full HD, streaming video is low speed (less than 10Mbps). You might save a few milliseconds of buffering at the start, but that's it. And even then, most of the delay you see when you press play on the video (on your local network) is your phone setting up the player and

Bugger! I misspelled "your" as "you're" - don't think I've done that before - and it's too late for the edit function :( #walkofshame

That's exactly the point I was making :) It could be a decade before I ever get 100Mbps here in the UK.

I'm not sure it's as black and white like you're implying. Yes there are some rich people who do next to nothing - I think they got lucky. But at 5:01pm when the average minimum-wage worker clocks off is also when the doctors, lawyers, engineers and entrepreneurs earn their money and feel the stress - they've may

Errr, they already have that! That's how your phone actually works. Wow.

If you're internet connection is slower than 100Mbps you will of course, notice no difference at all except for a few specific tasks such as iTunes sync over WiFi. It won't affect the speed of apps using the internet.

PS:

No you don't. As the instructions state, you just go to https://supportprofile.apple.com/ Select your iPhone and choose "unlink". That turns off iMessage for any iPhone you have no access to. Besides, you make it sound like ringing Apple is a showstopper of a problem - it's like a 3 minute call and you don't even

Ahh the "iMessage bug" - oh you mean you switched to Android but didn't tell Apple, yet you expect Apple to MAGICALLY somehow know this and disable iMessage for you, knowing for certain that you haven't just, you know, gone on vacation or something? That "bug"?

I agree. We need to wait and see if it gets worse. But it will have to become a HELL of a lot worse to be any real issue. This is not like antennagate where almost everyone could reproduce the problem in 2 minutes and almost everyone would be affected. It's precisely the opposite at this point. Don't get me wrong -
