No, the characters aren’t the same ones we see in the comics, but they aren’t supposed to be.

Exactly where do you think they are ducting the exhaust from the RR engine? Mars, perhaps?

Imagine electric aircraft that are more quiet

Heh. I knew someone way back in the day that routinely raced a Gremlin on the back roads of Iowa. 110 MPH on drum brakes? No problem. The only way you get to be old doing that is to be stupid good or stupid lucky.

Good luck with that. I take it that you did not read the document I linked to. You must register that ‘drone’ EVEN IF IT NEVER GOES OUTSIDE. Yes, you. This is government run amok, and if you don’t start making noise to your elected congress-critters today, you will have to live with it.

My kingdom for a “reporter” that actually digs into a story and tries to get to the truth!!

Or - and this is really, really crazy idea, but stick with me - you could do something I call “preventive maintenance”. You see, the idea is to visually check this stuff out from time to time and take action *before* it causes a break-down. I know! Crazy, right! Here’s the even crazier thing - it works! Just pop your…

Throwing the bullshit flag on that play...

EXACTLY how does stupid people doing stupid things make my sense of security "unjustified"? Here is my reality : I have owned every iPhone since the very first one (and I was among the first in the country to get one), and I have never been "hacked", "exploited" or "attacked"…

Sorry but I just found this : https://www.apple.com/batteries/maxi…

"Your device is designed to perform well in a wide range of temperatures, with 62° to 72° F (16° to 22° C) as the ideal comfort zone. It's especially important to avoid exposing your device to temperatures higher than 95° F (35° C), which can…

O. M. G. Seriously? "Everyone else is doing it" is really your defense?

Kindergarten called and they want their excuse back.

Most of the links lead to outdated or just plain misleading information. For example :
You did notice that Apple link was dated BEFORE the 6 and 6 Plus were released, right?

Try this on for size…

What the...?

Wow.

Just wow.

Let me swing the clue bat for you. The battery does NOT regulate the charge intake. The battery - like the universe - is governed only by the laws of physics. Simply put, charge the battery faster, subtract directly from the life of the battery, each and every time.

There is a REASON Apple…

While it may not damage the *phone* there is a very real chance of damage to the *battery*.

Apple isn't shipping a 1 amp charger just to piss people off; rather it is probably what the battery was designed to handle. My bet is too many times of charging at 2 amps will reduce battery life and if Apple catches on they…

Don't care if it's to give me the winning lottery numbers for the next decade; you DON'T hit servers without telling people the why and wherefores of it all. You especially DO NOT hit your own server with no declared reason for doing so. That just reeks of being up to no good.

Doesn't matter. Could be the most innocuous reason on the face of the Earth, and entirely justified. The entire problem is simply this : there was no up-front communication. Honestly, the part that bothers me the most is 'phoning home', so to speak. You tell me you don't collect personally identifiable information,…

No thanks.

Upon starting the software it tried to communicate with :
