Talk to the 3G users who were allowed to update their phones past the point that they should have. Apple giving into user demand on that just made for lots of very unhappy customers with painfully slow phones.

You should really encourage people to tick the Encrypt iPhone backup checkbox. It really makes the restoration process much easier when you don't have to re-enter every password for every single IMAP/CalDAV/SMTP/Exchange/whatever service before you can get back to work with it. I see a lot of users who aren't aware…

Really? I'm not so sure. MS has a pretty good track record of not being too heavy handed with their gaming studios. Bungie was largely unmolested by them. Same goes for Turn 10. I can't think of anything in the gaming world that was made worse by Microsoft's involvement.

New Orleans needs the potholes. Without them, what would hold all the water that smells of rotting death? Those potholes provide the city's distinctive aroma.

Cable companies are willing to spend a lot incentivizing HBO to not do this. Cable providers know that if HBO GO becomes standalone, they will lost a lot of subscribers. HBO is equally aware of this, so entertaining the notion publicly is just a shot across their bow as prelude to future negotiations. HBO aren't…

It seems like the observed violence wasn't part of the play, it was the entirety of it. Even the thinnest veneer of narrative context (for instance, "I'm hitting the doll because it's evil") completely changes the nature of the violence by attaching it to some sort of motivation. Since reality provides very little…

Sounds like someone didn't pull hard enough on their own bootstraps and is playing the victim. That's liberal behavior. You gotta learn that your if you're unable to spend lavishly on luxuries like heat, it's because of moral failings in your own work ethic.

Other than the 30-pin and lightning connectors, which bring features that just would never have worked with a standard USB cable, what proprietary interfaces has apple used? I suppose you can point to Firewire and Thunderbolt, but those were both developed in concert with other big tech companies (Sony and Intel,…

I came here to say just this. Despite all the commenters claiming they're too big, I've never had a problem fitting the Rimowa overhead. It's superlight - way lighter than softshells - and has the best casters you can buy. Criticisms about cost are valid - they are crazy expensive - but don't apply to this thread…

The choice is as much about the community of friends you play with as it is about the best version of the game.

It sure looks Fusion-ey to me. That isn't a bad thing. After all, the Fusion is a handsome car, but I just feel like Jag needs to be Jag-ier than this.

So now it's a $120k car? That's a 911 S or an R8 price. How well do Vipers retain value? That's going to determine a lot about the lease price, which drives a lot of the business. One of the things that's killing the Jaguar F-type right now is that the retained value is shit, so you end up paying as much for it as…

Thanks for that, it'll be stuck in head all day now.

There would be no ionizing radiation emitted. There is by no means a consensus that EM/RF radiation is dangerous.

It was 25% more work for a nut that nobody is arguing needs to be there.

Might be a bad truck, but it's a perfectly jalop car.

This is a "how to" article. The author is merely explaining best practices to people who may not have used this sort of password protection before. I work in IT and I often find myself explaining to users that there is no point in password protecting files or links if they are going to send the key and the locked…

This type of feature isn't unusual and it allows for password delivery through a different channel.

You mistook my meaning. It is very specifically the point that Facebook's messaging isn't especially good outside of its integration with the rest of their service. Facebook is saying that instead of building something from the ground up to be good in the way that Whats App is (which they now own, if I'm not…

It's not that it's so hard, but it's enough of a separation that it forces one to evaluate whether using their tools is a good choice. I've come to the conclusion it isn't. I assume that lots of people agree with me, because FB is now involved in this somewhat sad campaign to encourage people to do this thing that…
