This man speaks the truth. And anyway, you *don't* want to wake up every time your kid coughs or briefly wimpers in the night.

I wouldn't consider earbuds without a mic, personally. I do sometimes take/make calls while I'm running and really like being able to make reminders/write text messages from Siri, since it's when I'm unoccupied with other stuff and getting my thinking done.

The camera is a box you attach lenses to. DSLRs were an awesome stopgap technology in that sense. It makes sense if you have a huge number of existing film lenses to reuse, a reliable autofocus system that plays nice with optical viewfinders, sensors that can't handle being "always on" without melting down or having…

Yes, but you don't really flip a proper omelet anyway.

A) Do you realize how rare kidnapping by strangers is?

Probably not. I can type almost full-speed on the iPad, which is a requirement because I'm using it as a laptop replacement. I suspect reducing the screen size makes that impossible for my clumsy hands.

So you won't buy products from companies that use litigation to protect their intellectual property?

Eggs, especially whites, don't readily bind to lipids (thats why you make mayonnaise with mostly yolks). Almost all of that oil slick going to remain behind. I doubt it's much fattier than just cooking it on a layer of oil traditional style.

This is actually an article in favor of always owning the absolute latest and greatest phone. A "$200" phone's price is dwarfed by the cost of your data plan, so you might as well have the best hardware to take advantage of your service plan. At one point, figuring in resale value of the phone, I figured out that…

Compressing the same amount of utility into a smaller pile of data is a good thing, yes.

I make enough money and can afford to buy what I want. I pay for most of my music (spotify) and buy a majority of my ebooks and audiobooks. But for TV and movies, torrents are just plain better. Better selection, near instant availability, better quality, no ads.

Is anyone really cross shopping iPhones and Android phones these days? Either way, you're in a walled app garden and getting out is expensive and time consuming.

Take a brushed stainless steel ring. Put it on a green surface. What color is it now?

There are a lot of reliable, straightforward ways to get big power in an E30 for $30K. Using nice reliable factory parts and maybe a turbo. There are probably dozens of established parts combos out there to get you well over 300hp in an E30. The idea that someone would buy this instead? Utter CP.

My penis?

My workaround: run a davmail server and use POP to connect through that. Easy enough to set up, assuming you have an always-available computer running somewhere. Gets around the requirement my organization has that an iphone must have a non-simple passcode lock that goes into effect immediately, just to use the…

There are a lot of differences between this and the Microsoft antitrust suit, the main one being that Apple doesn't control enough of the market for that to be an issue. They already don't allow full-blown browsers, or some types of apps that directly compete with the built-in ones.

The best camera is the one that's with you.

Let me guess, you're one of those people that things the largest company (by market cap) in the world has never contributed anything useful and that all its customers are sheeple who only care about how pretty they look.

I'm very disillusioned. It turns out that Apple is a corporation intent on making as much money as possible for its shareholders rather than being my best friend? I'm shocked.
