"there’s no mention of that crazy Nikon tech, though"
You do realize that Canon invented it and Nikon copied it right? Canon OIS is still the single most superior OIS out there. Nikon is good but nothing like what the Canon system can do, mostly because they have nearly a decade on them in R&D.
1 - non of you cheap bastards will pay $600 for a real smartwatch. 2 - because of this they make them as cheap as possible with a decent profit margin. 3 - battery technology is not there yet, so get used to charging your watch, people dont want to charge their watch nightly. 4 - app writers all refuse to follow a standard data or alert API so it's impossible to make the watch do what people want. 5 -.... 6 - Profit.
not a problem. My motorcycle can easily carry $300 worth of groceries safely. and I see people riding a bicycle home with more than I carry on this secret DARPA project they have around here that they attach to their bicycles.
It's called a trailer. SHOCKING I know, and dont tell China or they will have that secret area 51 technology and overtake us all.
Yeah, you know nothing at all about cars in general or what people do.
I know several people that own smartcars and they drive the 40-50 mile highway commute to the nearest city for work and back. Granted, the US version of the smartcar is a joke getting less than 40mpg highway while my 2007 civic constantly gets 44mpg on the highway. I also see Nissan Leaf's as well on the commute.
Anyone that believes you have to have a 8 foot wode canyonero to commute from the country is a complete and utter moron. I have driven a honda civic through snow that SUV owners were crying on the side of the road over. I walked right up an icy hill that 3 4x4's could not make it up. (The secret is in the tires and driver skill)
So please, come on back with a real example. and let's ignore all the people I see commuting on motorcycles.
Honestly Microsoft tried the tablet 5 times before then and screwed it up every single time. Granted the first time back when Windows 3.1 for pen computing came out it was a technology problem.
But everything that microsoft does is half assed, unless they BUY someone elses product and sell it as their own.. Like the Xbox.
It is designed closer to a Sheep and even runs like sheep do. I really would like to see them make one like a cat that can run, crouch and leap like a cat can. then we will have something that is fearsome.
Imagine that thing leaping a 60 foot ditch at you.
Not a whole lot anymore. I have switched away when he added a lot of annoying crap. There are other greasemonkey scripts that do the same thing but faster now
I love my BMW motorcycle, but I hate that BMW engineers are some of the worst ones on the planet. This was not always the case, before 1995 they had real engineers, but then they decided that the car guys could do a better job and utterly ruined the motorcycles legendary reliability.
My favorite failure is that on my K1200LT that the clutch is a dry clutch in a sealed box that if the seals or the clutch slave fails, the fluid can not leak out and it contaminates the clutch so you have to pay $2500 to get it fixed. German engineering at it finest.... reliability would be 300X higher by drilling one hole to let the fluids drain out.
Richard Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller had built several that are tornado and hurricane proof. He made several concrete dome homes that have taken the worst that nature can dish out and only need minor repairs.
Time to regulate government drones. They need to be required to notify citizens of their use and their location at any time they are in use above american soil.
BMW motorcycles will burn to the ground. It's actually a common failure point. the germans used crap fuel lines that will age and crack in only 5 years. The other failure is burning starter relays that are undersized by "german engineering" but they fixed that in 2005.
Try heating it. If you want to see a spectacular fire have an ignition source near gasoline that has been heated. a good car fire is highly dangerous because the gasoline starts to boil at only 120 degrees F. and once it is boiling you can easily get the whole tank of fuel to the superheated vapor point by 200 degrees, easily achieved in a car fire. At that point if you release the pressure of the container and the WHOLE LIQUID MASS will nearly instantly vaporize.
That is the nice fireball you get. Gasoline is a good vehicle fuel because it's dirt cheap and easy to make, it's not because it is incredibly safe.

Who released the photos? the police.
Not when the police does it. It's 100% legal when performed by your local, state, or federal law enforcement.
You are confusing laws for you compared to what they have to abide by.
You live in a free country, here in the USA things are not that way.
Yes, because paying attention while you are riding and being defensive is not an option. Or something really silly like wearing a helmet.

Because apple did it right.

This is why I said walk, and not drive.... DUH!
Only the insane would drive, everyone knows that is the fastest way to death.
Nope. it already has experienced a direct tornado without damage other than roofing.

BINGO!!!!
It's a better fuel all the way around, problem is the lack of education here in america keeps them from being popular.
Use rocks, they have far more structural integrity than Mush.
Yet houses like mine that are 60 years old are better built than the crap built today.
3/4" thick plywood, real brick and stone and not the styrofoam crap. 6" thick outer walls, real rafters and eaves that extend out. etc....
all homes built today are garbage compared to a properly built home from the 50's
Why? your legs broke? pack your crap on your back and Walk to montana.

Heck they are sharknado proof.

Yes they can. In fact pick any car and I can get it to catch fire by driving it over a single metal object.
The metal object will be a puddle of molten stainless at 3000 degrees, the car will almost instantly burst into flames.
Actually things like Kindles use the far more dangerous LiPo battery.
Yup in the hobby world we charge our LiPo batteries in kevlar bags that have an anti flammable lining and a metal closure to keep air out.
LiPo batteries are dangerous as hell, I have no idea why they sell them everywhere to anyone. They are little bombs if you charge them wrong.
