Maybe you couldn't art direct a successful photoshoot of this in a real world situation, but I probably could.

And posting pictures of trash cans, ash trays, and R2D2.

Kyle, your opinion about Sony's joysticks positioning is an opinion. Maybe all XBox owners agree with you (or you just steamroller over dissent in your own ranks), but it's not Advantage Microsoft on that alone.

I like them fine, and have them enabled on my mac (don't have to use fn key to use the function key, what a concept).

So you're saying I need to get drunk to appreciate the lightning connector? Please never set me up on a blind date.

Good to know. But it's sheer laziness on Apple's part, or worse, to not support their own devices. If you come out with a new connector on your devices after 10 years, you have Jony Ive's intern spend 20 minutes cranking out a design for the engineers to run with.

Me too. I hope that it flips out in a spectacular switchblade fashion.

I agree with you folks that lightning doesn't totally suck, but being able to flip the cord 180° is not life-changing. I don't it's a stretch to say that it was eagerly anticipated or the reason anyone switched from an earlier phone or from android. That's one feature, where I see magsafe as having three - easy to…

I think those are concerns but I don't think it's at all inconceivable to pull off. I think the unheralded bragging point of Magsafe is that's is really easy to connect. That's what I want with iOS. While others do crazy complex workarounds and overengineered solutions like NFC and Wireless charging, Apple sits on…

And why hasn't magsafe tech been implemented for iOS devices?

I don't agree with this rule.

Thanks for sharing! /s

Is there an actual problem with the stock camera app?

Off topic but perhaps relevant, as it deals with the economics of preparing and releasing two formats of media.

I will probably be adding nothing to this conversation because I don't play a lot of Japanese games, or consume much in the way of Japanese media. I fail to appreciate almost everything of the genres of JRPGs, Manga, Anime, J-pop and everything that goes along with them. I fail to appreciate having my balls busted by…

My solutions: wipe device on pants/shirts and hands on exposed sock parts every so often. Wash clothes at regular intervals. Use physical controls as much as possible. Get a nice cross breeze going.

I would love it if driverless tech taught us how to drive our cars better (or properly). Someone is trying to overtake me at a safe speed, I should get some feedback that I am should move to the right. Most American drivers, amazingly, do not fathom this.

Big stumbling block is the presence of temp agencies. One one hand they're great, they know everybody and will rep you with no shame, and if you are competent they will get you places where you might penetrate otherwise. Whereas, you know nobody and repping yourself is exhausting.

I suspect there will be some trickle down of driverless tech to driver-ful (?) cars. There will also be modes of driving on some driverless cars, and a continuum of driverless cars and several iterations of the technology.

Right on.
