I thought it was well known that Safari has always been the fastest browser on Mac?

Oh my god that scene on the bench had me dying.

Ah yes, where they rip that guy out of his suit? I've seen much worse scenes in anime haha but it was still pretty bad.

Is that the one with them experimenting on live people?

Wow im not the only person in the world who has seen that after all.

Perfect! Now I can sit there and Google super obscures issues whose only solution is to recompile my graphics driver from scratch, even on the go!

Other phones had double-tap to zoom at the time. Palm for one example.

I'd hardly call Windows Mobile more intuitive, UI-wise, but heck if it wasn't functional. There was MS Office available which I used very often as well as many other applications. iOS 1.0 on the other hand, did next to nothing.

As someone who used Palm and Windows Mobile devices years before the iPhone was announced, it failed to compare to pretty much everything. The phone couldn't do anything at all except make calls and (slowly) browse the web. Meanwhile Palm and Windows users had tens of thousands of apps available to them and actually…

No 3rd party apps. Not just figuratively, there was literally no app store or any way to put third party apps on the device at launch, let alone them existing in the first place. No basic UI features like Cut and Paste, etc. Basically it just couldn't do anything besides make calls and (slowly) browse the internet in…

Sure, but try web browsing on a 2G phone and tell me how it goes. Pinch to zoom was pretty much the only innovation the first iphone had. Besides that, it was several years behind competition at the time.

Nobody ever seems to remember that the original iPhone was complete shit.

I have this problem with my sunglasses all the time so I might try this.

Of all the things that Amazon sells, what would they possibly put in a store? All their Fire tablets and phones? That'd take up like half of one wall. And all their stuff would take up 12 Walmarts.

Have to be extra sure no one steals them because god knows no one will actually buy them.

Thats not true at all. LED's are generally more efficient at lower drive levels, down to a certain point anyway. At sub ~10 lumen levels efficiency falls off. But in this case, that won't be an issue. The MK-R LED's used here are binned at 1.4 amps, which is their "sweet spot", but can be driven at up to 2.5 amps. The…

It's basically the same thing, but PWM is typically used to regulate brightness by changing the duty cycle of the pulses.

The flashing isnt a characteristic of the LED itself, but the control circuit. Only PWM controlled LEDs "flicker", eg, cheap-ass circuits used in cheap-ass flashlights and fixtures. Current controlled circuit powered LED's do not.

Yeah that only happens when LEDs are PWM brightness controlled. Presumably, in this application they would be current-controlled.

because, it takes advantage of the fact that if you don't update pixels, you can keep them there using transparent layers. In other words, if a pixel moves it has to be updated using a new pallet. This is not practical in a moving video of course. If you mean using different pallets for different "scenes" of a video,…
