Yet, it's still worlds better than the amount of crap that gets stuffed on an Android phone thanks to carriers.

If they put out an LTE version of this, I would think it's useful. This is 2014. LTE is a must.
It's kind of remarkable to watch how Apple reacts to the post Jobs world in how it's softened its walled garden stance in some areas (do you really think Jobs would have approved a 5.5 inch iPhone or allowing anything but Apple's proprietary keyboard on its new devices) but still holds the line way too hard in others…
The honest problem is that people who don't always get it will get all miffed that they're supposed to be seeing something that's "HD" but they still see black bars on the left and right sides of their big TV. It's why we can't have nice things. Pump up the resolution to HD quality and leave the 4:3 alone. That's what…
I'd like to poke some holes in this. First of all, everything being organic drives the price up. If the goal is to be economical, organic isn't the way to go. Especially at a store like Wegmans, where standard versions of several of the items he purchased are much cheaper than their organic counterparts. Eggs, for…
No one seems to bat an eyelash that Google has broken their services down into a series of different apps. I have a Google folder on my iPhone with 9 different apps for different things. It's all fine with me. Sometimes specificity is a good thing. The main FB app on iPhone is cumbersome. It's huge, it consumes a ton…
So it does seem like there are some gaps in what you can get on here, but I bet they'll improve with time. Plus, I already pay for Prime. I wasn't using Spotify Premium or Pandora One nearly enough to justify continuing to pay for those. If I want to just stream some music, this will likely do without having to fork…
I'm all about Costco's meat selections. I absolutely love their hamburgers. They are a very good price and the quality is as good or exceeds what you can get at a higher end supermarket around here (I'm in Central Jersey, so Wegmans is the comparison I make). You do have to be savvy about prices and know that most…
I find it most unfortunate that Facebook keeps trying to force me into what their algorithm thinks I want to see. Most of the time, it's not, and it's stuff I've seen already. Annoys the hell out of me to be honest. Let me be the one to decide what I want to see, not you.
On the flipside, though, HBO is notoriously slow to get their service onto new devices. They **just** got it onto PS3 a couple of months ago (finally!) even though XBox 360 had it for several years beforehand. It will likely show up, it may just take a while.
It's good that they're making progress on this front, but these bulbs won't be useful to me until they start getting into the 60-75W equivalent range. I'll just stick to my CFL bulbs until then. It amazes me how many people stick to incandescent in this day and age.
Strictly speaking, the Big Dig wasn't a cap project. They did exactly what they're doing in Seattle now. They built a brand new underground tunnel freeway through the heart of downtown Boston, and then tore down the old Central Artery freeway which was a dilapidated green hulk of ugly steel and nonstop gridlock. Then…
From the reports I've seen it was going fast enough to jump a safety device at the end of the track designed to prevent it from doing so. Many of those things assume that you're going a certain rate of speed and will be able to stop the train, but sometimes it's too much.
It looks like they log though. I don't know why any VPN provider would feel the need to log.
The downside is that there are just some things that Apple never rereleased as unprotected AAC files. For example, I bought a live U2 performance they did (the Under the Brooklyn Bridge set) which came out back in '04. It's simply not available anymore in the store so you can't download an unprotected version of it.…
It reminds me a lot of the Circle Interchange in downtown Chicago.
I'd bet that she'll do it through some cam site that has it in its rules that once you pay, it's final and there are no refunds.
I was quite peeved that the ACLU sued NJ to stop implementation of RealID compatible DL's. More than anything, because it has a 6 year expiration and not 4 so I wouldn't have to go back to the DMV as often to renew. I don't get the hullabaloo. The feds already track everything we do and say in our lives anyway, who…
Nice to see these guides, but some of them need to be updated. For example, you can't turn on Google Sync (access to GMail via Exchange) anymore unless you're a paying GApps for Business customer. Now you need to add your GMail account via the normal Google way and it will sync your calendar and contacts via CardDAV…
