i wouldn't bet on it - the imac form-factor leads itself to a mobile gpu. also, it will still be from ati, which is far from ideal if you're doing a lot of after effects. but tb 3.1 should finally be fast enough for an external
no, that's the slim xbox - the ps4neo is supposed to have a faster cpu, faster gpu, more memory bandwith, etc. which will probably have more advantages than running the same graphics just with higher resolution (although i hope it's mostly just that). it's definitely not just upscaling of video.
with searching last months 1000 voicemails for the specific information you need at the moment.
if you really need to get your emotion across, why not use written words? or attach a voice mail to your written message?
i prefer a quick phone call to an elaborate email where i'm pretty sure the recipient only reads every second sentence (leading to a trail of follow up and clarification - mails). but this is just ridiculous.
on social networks. works every time. and then shame them some more that you had to rant publicly because their officia customer support showed you the rhetorical middle finger.
3d - scanner: not for scanning objects but for measuring distance and size. gas/geiger - o.k., ageiger counter is a bit over the top, but as they are cheap why not having something that warns you in case of danger on your wrist. you're not going to have that lifesaving equipment on you just in case, but the watch will probably be on your wrist.
and yes, a smartwatch that's not as thethered to your phone as most of them are right now is still a smartwatch - it's mostly an I/O to your mobile carry around computing device a.k.a. phone, sure. but that phone's cpu will probably dissolve into the cloud anyway, but the IO devices will stay. (besides, the same argument can be made about a smartphone that can't do much without a connection)
the location aware grocery-reminder is already, working, so is dictation, arbitrary questions are getting there. and why look at projected directions to friends, when you can be guided by taps on your wrist ?
the aitomated emergency service call will come though, as well as the health alert ("your blood values are getting worse, eat mor celery today"), and the hazard warning (think unhealthy levels of radiation, gas, noise,...)
maybe the killer applications will also be external sensors. think: a thermometer, 3d scanner, geiger counter, gas sensors,...
@facetime camera: just hold your wrist at face-height for 1-2 minutes. bad idea.
still, an extra adapter sucks. it's another point of failure, it adds weight to your phone/headphone cable, it needs extra space, and it will probably die pretty fast if you have the phone with it attached in your pocket (and take the lightning connector with it). bluetooth in the other hand has still not the best audio quality (my wireless beats 2 sound as bad as a $30 sony bluetooth dongle. granted, i didn't buy the beats for the brand or the notoriously bad audio quality but for the form factor, but still, i'd imagined something better sounding for â160 - seems like bluetooth is the limiting factor). sure, you can use airpay, but that's not an option with lots of stereos.
- save money on the a/d converter.
- make it easier to make a waterproof phone
- save space for larger battery
- sell dongles at at least $ 30 a pop
so there's lots of reasons, but it still sucks to have to bring a dongle with you, everytime you want to connect a phone to an analogue input - i guess i have still about 7 devices with one (not counting headphones) vs. 2 with (inferior sound quality) bluetooth.
oh, the high-tech irony... calculating 598 divided by 5 in your head would have taken as much time as it took asking and waiting for an answer once, and you'd also have the benefit of light mind-gymnastics...
just tried it with an already "owned" movie in my library and tapped "o.k." instead of "settings". this freed up 300mb. maybe the iphone clears a download-cache when attempting to download something bigger than the available space? doing it for a second time went faster but did nothing.
and yet, the profit margins on styrofoam-cups are miniscule, and there's probably hidden costs associated with mass-producing throw-away cups as well (environmental impact). so apple has nothing to gain by selling cheap throw-away tablets. they've been doing fine with their 5-10% share of the pc-market for years, why should they make more for less money?
well, but you can't either with other brands. buying a tablet with better internals will usually have other trade offs (more weight, less battery, worse screen, lower built quality,...). so you can buy a better processor, but you'll get a less efficient OS (android). or buy a surface, get faster hardware still, but not the best in terms of weight, battery, touch-UI, stylus support,...
no, an apple sd-card adapter was actually available since the first ipad, and they've also always been compatible with standard sd-card readers over their usb-adapter. they only just released a new one where they bundled micro-sd with usb in one adaptor.
my words. years of teaching my parents to install updates, just to have my mother install the win10 upgrade after a popup told her to - it took me 20 minutes to explain to her the difference between a security update and a new OS, and i'm pretty sure, she already forgot it 10 minutes later. she's working from home, so it's the problem of her company's IT now, but still: asshole move on microsoft's part.
"anti hate speech" laws are nothing new in germany, there's already lots of definition, legal precedents, etc. go look it up. if that differs from the american definition of free speech, facebook is free to stop it's operation in germany or even go to court and try changing those laws.
that's also a problem that stems from driving too fast. but at least europeans tend to drive slower when the road conditions require it. also, these obstacles are only placed in areas, that are already low-speed (30km/h = 18mph limit). sure, you can drive arount those obstacles like a slalom-racer, but then you're violating the speed limit - and common sense - again. those limitation won't hold an idiot, but they'll give the rest of the population an incentive to think about what they are doing - and thus reducing the probability of accidents. and you'll probably avoid a surveilance state, where every "concerned" citizen uploads speed-trapping software to his webcam/smartphone, and hunts for sinners.
I don't know how that system works in the u.k., but usually there are only a handful of people who do this censoring/rating stuff. and they have to be paid anyway, so swapping them out every hour would be even more expensive. unfortunately, £8500 doesn't get you a celluloid-transfer - and i'm pretty sure, he didn't even make a dcp-conversion to force them to use a proprietary media-server for playback. so they probably just told the projectionist to fast forward through the digital file.
btw., i don't get his point. bohoo, it costs about the daily rental fees for a cinema-quality camera body for a feature film to get a rating? that's definitely a big deal. reality-update: film making is really, really expensive - when you're that far that you've got a completed feature film, worth showing, in your pocket, a £1000 fee is not going to stop you.

lots and lots of people - phones were the new status symbols and at $650 vastly easier to come by than a $20.000 car.

well, detia-degesch is still in business and even has an american branch, selling poison... http://www.degeschamerica.com/
it's mojo-kid, so it's probably a paid ad.
it's o.k., if it's for the greater good.
yup - i can ride rollercoasters reading a book in one hand, eatng ice cream with the other. but 1 minute of occulus had me going: "wow, easy"
