It's also cheap to turbocharge or do a million other things. But if they each cost a dollar, that's a million dollar car. And they probably cost more than a dollar.

Of course Apple's maps will improve, but I think it's perfectly fair. Someone should actually do some quality videos comparing extant mapping apps in real time. And continue to do so periodically. This is pretty useless. Among other huge complaints: the hand is not tapping the buttons at the same time, and whoever is…

I think the reason why you think you're correct and nobody knows what you're talking about is that it's such a subtle set of notches. I've been using this port for nearly a decade and I had to look at one on my desk to see what you're talking about. My opinion is that this is not a user friendly design affordance,…

Very slightly on topic, SF author Frederik Pohl had an essay of a binary counting system. I'll have to dig that up, but the TL;DR version is that you can count to 2^10 (a thousand and something) on ten fingers. Mutiplying or dividing by two and multiples of two are really easy, as is basic counting. The drawback is…

If it's any help, I agree that seems too long. I have not seen that on OS X or Win7.

I agree with you that turning a physical page is not lag, though it is interesting to consider it as such (and then dismiss it). But I always look at e-ink devices and think there's a better way.

We could also not build environments that they are better adapted to than we are, or just learn to co-habitate with other creatures like every other creature has done.

Agreed. Even if they did everything right, which we know they didn't, it's still a pretty presumptuous thing to do.

That's some logic right there.

I should hope that theft is thievery. Any other way would be very confusing.

Would have made for a much worse photo, but they should have "sharpened" a Turnip. Doing this to a carrot is asinine - all the good stuff is in the skin. Wash don't peel.

Yeah that's basically what's happening. HBO and Comcast are basically locked into a kamikazi spiral of death, while non-subscriber fans of True Blood, Girls, Game of Throne basically spend their money elsewhere.

This is not meant as a big critique of your non-misogyny, but you're stating things a little more accurately in your first sentence than your last sentence. "Greater athletic" ability is impossible to prove, where as specific speed records are quite easy. Some people consider video games or even golf as athletic…

I'm going to be charitable here and just say that there are less offensive ways you could have said what you mean.

I hope you sold the 4S or gave it away to someone who can use it. Who replaces a perfectly good phone?

I would definitely pick the quadruple divorcée for a marriage counselor, especially if she is currently unmarried. Keep the options open... especially as marriage counseling is usually a last ditch effort.

Selfist vs selfish, egotism vs egoism, we all get it. All of us that like food and survival that is.

Swiss Minigun, meet American minigun.

Yeah, it's the achilles heel of these types of toys. Something must be done.

Much obliged to you as well, good point. I came here to further note that the proprietary dongle of which you speak, while technically proprietary in that it's an Apple standard, is probably as ubiquitous or more so than micro-USB. 3rd party product makers are not complaining about making connectors, docks, and…
