I could be wrong, but it just says "english-speaking" and not necessarily Americans. The group could be more diverse. Lots of countries speak english.

I must find an outlet to express my outrage at this indiscretion.

Yeah, but the iphone is running different software so it's difficult to compare. Some might argue that iOS is more efficient both in power and resources in order to hit those benchmarks. I would be included in that group.

In a smaller form, the battery shrinks too, so to keep the same battery life as its bigger brother the hardware has to get less demanding.

This app made me mad. I bought it years ago (for like $15) for use with Dropbox. I pay for dropbox and it integrates much more smoothly than GDrive does both on my work machine and my mobile devices. At the time, Quickoffice was a solid office app and did what I needed. Then dropbox support was dropped not long after…

Indeed they did. Forgot to check that.

The signal drop-out is quite annoying when you get marginal reception. I noticed it happens more if you use wi-fi, which I guess makes sense. I wish they could have come up with a fallback system of some sort, like with HD radio where it falls back to analog without interrupting the content.

Are there specific rules in place about how much and what quality coverage the networks must provide over the air? I'm sure there are, I'm just not familiar with them. Like, for example are they required to serve a certain percentage of the population in a given area with a certain quality signal?

My wife agreed to do all the laundry in exchange for me doing all the dishes.

Sync does suck, but I think their heart is in the right place. Siri while driving is hit or miss, because sometimes she will have follow up questions or try to go on the web or something. Since it's not specifically designed for use while driving it can be a little too complicated and distracting. When I bought my ST…

They did 171 billion last year... Nowhere near Chevron but still the same order of magnitude. People love their iThings...

For salaried workers, there is indeed a sense of accomplishment in finishing all your obligations for the week in 40 hours. I think my boss makes it her personal goal to keep us all from doing that.

Well, Tim Cook did work at IBM and later Compaq, so...

Everyone in the industry has access to the same parts and hardware at this point; differentiation is all done in software.

But what if my boss catches me reading this article?

Whether or not you "believe in" global warming, the consequences of no emissions regulations are real and if only given the two choices, I'd rather leave my children with debt than a broken planet.

Apropos of nothing, here is a video of (not) Bruce Lee playing ping pong.

I work on development projects occasionally, and in all of the counties/jurisdictions around here, they go through a lengthy review process including public hearings and feedback. There are all sorts of rules that developers must adhere to, including pedestrian and bike lane requirements, and so on.
