Considering that Apple, arguably, has had the greatest impact on the Swiss economy in watchmaking... you’d think they’d find another tone.

Can you do a follow-on piece on why these pipes are still a thing? In fact, why is there steam in pipes in the summer? I can see central heating systems that are shared between buildings, we have cooling ones in Chicago - one central plant freezes ice overnight as it’s cheaper electrical rates and thaws during the day…

Do a search on Everolimus. That drug has been looking for something to apply to since they invented the damned thing. First, it was the end-all cure for Neuroendocrine cancer (the one Steve Jobs died of). But those patients quickly found it made them feel like they had a permanent flu when taking it and the…

Screw the mirrors/cameras... give us laser lights! DOT is so far behind the world - it makes the FDA look like rocket scientists.

Hmmm.. $10 for the chance to increase insurance $500 per year? No thanks. You want data - make it meaningful and discount the monthly payment a real amount and leave insurance out of it. Let insurance companies offer their own monitoring programs and related discounts to those who want them. Chances are drivers in…

Considering the Yoga 720 15, with i7-7 (now i7-8) 4k display, nvidia 1050 and intel graphics, 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM and same form factor with a Wacom pen was $1200 - what news is this?

The charging “may” not - but since Qi protocol is a pulsing electromagnetic coil YMMV. However, most of my Qi mounts are magnetic and hold the phone with rare earth magnets to the base. Those will nuke the stripes. That being said, in the last 2 years, I’ve swiped maybe 10 times out of 500 uses. Most of the time it’s…

This may be the most short-sighted thinking I’ve ever seen. Case in point. Herpes comes out in the 80s... Herpes gets cured in the 90s. HIV starts taking up shop around the same time... 2010, HIV gets cured. Neuroendocrine Cancers pop up, they get cured. Zika.... cured. It’s not like nature will stop doing shit to…

Thumb-based TBs are a pain on the joints. Please make more full-hand trackballs! There is so much that can be done to innovate that industry. I still keep an old Kensington laying around at the office so it mixes up my mouse use from traditional to track helping keep carpal tunnel syndrome at bay.

Have had Apple Watch 2.. it worked. I got 1.5 days of battery out of it - which for me is fine. I have no interest in wearing a watch in bed. But I hated, repeat-hated, the marxist attitude toward watch faces. C’mon Apple. Let us in on the game. Even developers cannot make watch faces, let alone users. Second, as far…

E30 and the BMWs of that era had a “deadbolt” in the doors of sorts. If you locked to position one (using a key) it would leave the handles inside the car functioning. If you locked to position 2, you could use your car as a jail since it disabled the handles internally. Kinda miss that - would love to see the face on…

I’d like my 6 minutes back. Didn’t even finish that bag of heap. Seriously? Fashion discussion? What’s that about?

It is the “US” EPA right? Why is he going to Israel? Did the EPA get sucked up by the state department last night? I agree with many, flying international business is the new economy. This ashat shouldn’t have done it domestically for the reasons stated. But net-net, stay the fuck in your own polluted country and…

Um. Kind of tired of seeing this so please get it straight. Opiod - synthetic. Opiate - natural. SO Morphine = Opiate. Hydrocodone = Opiod. It’s oxymoronic to say natural opiod. Sort of like saying that’s made of organic zinc. The miseducation of these drugs harms those who need it. I am, on the other hand, thrilled…

Hopefully Apple has blog post readers on staff... How about an option on that pop up... call it - “Install this at XX:XX O’clock. I understand it will reboot regardless of what is going on at that time and if I didn’t save my document, tough luck for me...” or some other friendlier version of that concept. My issue is…

Fanboy(tm) since 1981. Had pretty much every piece of hardware made - wish I kept them all for my personal museum, alas only have the 128k mac left along with my current gear. But I have to say, Apple Watch? Massive fail. Hated the thing. First - it’s a WATCH. So why am I stuck with Woody, Mickey and some abstract…

Really would love to know if they finally fixed the issue of OIS (optical image stabilization) built into most phones since circa iPhone 6? Osmo 1 made a mess of videos with a phone like the X or a modern android phone with OIS because the gimbal fought with the phone’s stabilization. The only real fix for Osmo 1 was…

FYI, not stRing ray... stIng ray. And not really towers, but boxes the size of circa 85 portable PC.

This year (only?) is even more pathetic than usual. Typically scientists capture sick birds in Asian migrations. Test them for influenza and then use those results to make immunization shots. But this year, we copied what was given to Australia a full half year ago (their winter is upside down of the northern…
