I just wish I could have the lock screen notifications turned off, because it's annoying to have to swipe up just to access the security screen everytime I want to unlock my phone.

One day there will be 1.3 billion different Facebook apps – one for each of us.

Interesting, especially since I'm booked on a future Royal Caribbean cruise for the first time.

I would buy one. My nexus 7 is great, but the 9 is a bit pricey for yearly updates. This would be a nice replacement.

Speakers on the bottom are useless. That's the worst feature to copy if they wanted to copy the iPad.

Although I certainly wouldn't consider myself a success story and apologize if this comes off as tooting my horn, it's personally fascinating to see that I grew up in a county ranked #2904 (lower middle class) and now reside in #10 by independent means in the top 10% income bracket. I attribute this to: (1) parents…

I agree with you completely that a bachelor's degree is not a complete indicator of how good someone's life could be. Like you said, a lot of bachelor's degrees don't lead anywhere. But when you combine that statistic with others, it can start to paint a picture of an area, no? You can't say for certain until you…

I have one of Columbia's $200 interchange jackets that I bought on sale last year for like $150. It's the kind that has a zip-out inner jacket which itself is warm enough for most conditions. It's got those little reflective foil dots all over the inside.

Oh, it definitely had its faults but the way Chris Evans was talking about surviving at the end and how he almost ate you know who. Ugh.

Just saw Snowpiercer on Netflix. The parts that worked were excellent, but other parts just seemed sort of silly. To me the most powerful scenes were the Tunnel scene, and the "school" scene.

Spoilahz:

(Some people like movies like that)

I feel about Interstellar the same way I do about Minority Report. People keep claiming they're so magnificently scientific, but they simply don't hold up to the barest scrutiny, while the story turns on woo-woo pseudo-intellectual feel-goodism.

"Amazingly, Siebold's parachute deployed automatically..."

this sounds like a different system than foveon. feveon uses stacked photo-sites that still have to individually sample separate colors. whereas this uses a single photo-site for RGB.

Maybe it's because I suck at texting but if I'm having a big back-and-forth on where/when to meet with someone, it's usually way quicker and way less frustrating to just call and discuss.

A little feature you haven't noted - Cortana recognised that you were asking a question and automatically punctuated it. Nice!

Behind the scenes: We did the text message demo one at a time because when we did it simultaneously they all started talking to each other which was hilarious but not at all helpful.
