I called to get support for software I was using. After explaining the problem the support person said they were confused and asked me to elaborate. I said the x was no longer working and I had tried a, b, & c to fix it. The tech was like our product doesn't do x! And I was like well I've been using it to do x for months. It seems a feature I had been using for months turned out to be a bug and gotten fixed in the newest release.
Your comment helps support my assertion that the OP's market is a niche market at best. I am not an avid cyclist and had no idea there were special shirts just for cyclist with pockets on their backs. I am into fitness and workout regularly so I am not completely unfamiliar with athletic apparel.
Wait! Your shirt has a back pocket? Tell me more about this marvel of modern fashion.
So your saying that the market is for Strava users who own iPhones and don't already own one of the following devices:
CATEYE
Fitbit (Fitbit Surge)
Garmin
Microsoft Band
Soleus
Suunto
Timex (Run Trainer 2.0)
TomTom
I'm sure that number is in the gazillions!/s
The truth is since the watch is dependent on the iPhone to be fully functional its market is already limited. Any wearable that limits its target audience to one ecosystem is gonna have a hard time selling a sufficiently large quantity. Samsung has already run into that wall and conceded...several times. Apple wants to use the watch to increase iPhone sales but it may ultimately alienate potential watch customers because of this.
I agree...the issue isn't retransmission although broadcasters would love to be able to make it about retransmission. It's about who is doing the retransmission. Even though Aereo was claiming they only rented the little antenna to you and you are doing the retransmission (legal) the law determined they were in possession of the antenna and therefore the ones doing the retransmission and rebroadcasting and reselling the service not renting antenna (not legal). Semantics to be sure but different enough in the eyes of US law to condemn them.
Aereo got shut down because the judge ruled they were retransmitting the signal which they didn't have a right to do. Sling, SimplTV and Tablo do exactly the same thing as Aereo but the device is at your house so no retransmission issues. This is a different issue and yet to be vetted through the courts.
Ant Man does seem very different from the Marvel franchise. And to me that was a good thing. While the formula was still fundamentally unchanged the story was IMO compelling. The humor wasn't Paul Rudd over the top (OK a couple of places it is but they're mercifully brief) which is what I was fearing. It was more nervous tension humor which to me was balanced and complimentary to the story. The movie spends almost no time trying to explain the tech. Also a good thing. Action fans will get what they want but they will have to be patient because Marvel spends much of the movie developing the character's relationships. Had someone told me that prior to seeing it I might not have been so anxious to see it and yet I enjoyed that part as well. I went in expecting to be disappointed so I had set the bar pretty low. I emerged thoroughly entertained and looking forward to the sequel or next movie the character appears in (Hint: The post credit scene pretty much tells you what that might be)
AOL was a dial-up ISP and died because of broadband.
I would love to be as dead as AOL is. Just because a companies original primary business dried up doesn't mean they didn't survive or thrive. The ability to adapt has served them well despite what the 3lit3 h@x0rs think about them.
As for Facebook they look to be dipping their toes into every new trend on the horizon just to cover their bases. Whether they can stay relevant or not remains to be seen.
If you're going to comment at least understand the arguments before throwing accusations out there. The majority of cab drivers are already independent contractors who lease the right to operate a cab from the medallion owner who in most cases is a large corporation or a billionaire who has never set foot in the front seat of a cab. The jobs aren't being lost they are simply transitioning from Yellow Cab to Uber where they can make up to 200% more annually. And if you think a drunk pays attention to the cost of a cab ride rather than say...just telling himself I'm sober enough to drive your loony. This is all about control. Uber is disrupting the monopoly city governments have set up with a select group of individuals. Medallions are more precious than gold or real estate but if drivers continue to defect the medallions become worthless. Hilary wants to keep her contributors who own medallions happy.
Ting uses Sprint's CDMA network so only Sprint phones will work as Sprint will not authorize a Verizon phone on their network. Ting makes it easy to check if your phone is compatible.
I second the Ting recommendation. You can set up alerts and based on your preferences the alert can simply tell you when you are reaching a limit or completely disable the feature (data in this case) before you exceed the limit. If you are determined to stay below 2GB then Ting's pricing should also please. I have two lines and rarely pay over $50 a month. And if you use a referral link you get a $25 credit to apply to a phone or service. You pay for your own phone but if you have a Sprint or T-Mobile compatible device already then you should be able to use it on Ting.
I have been looking at 3M's NOVEC line of products for a couple of years. 3M claims their fluids are safe and I've seen it demonstrated a couple of times. I'm wondering how this compares. I've seen it for sale for around $250 gallon so it aint cheap but the cooling savings over time should more than pay for itself.
(which is silly because you can yell fire in a theater if, you know, the theater is on fire).
Actually I don't believe you can legally. The law was created in the belief the panic from hearing fire yelled would do more harm than good as panic stricken patrons trampled over each other to get out.
I'm not sure how you notify them without striking fear into them but I'm sure the law addresses that in the details/s
HDD, WiFi, Bluetooth. If I'm having issues with one and the light is off I know they hardware is turned off. Without the LED the OS can only report to me the state it sees which may or may not be hardware related.
We started getting the latest batch of X250's and the only LEDs are on the power button and the dot of the i in ThinkPad!? It's impossible to know if it's doing anything at times and it's frustrating as hell.
As far as OS you might want to give Linux Mint a try. They do a respectable job of polishing Ubuntu into a quite capable system.

I also guarantee that the NSA hasn't changed a single thing nor will they.
Oh contraire...They now watch their contractors like a hawk!

Good thing we don't use DAB in the US or we'd be in REAL trouble!

the Emacs vs VI war is over (Emacs won) so they needed a new holy war to rage on the pages of /.

This is a little dated so things might have changed but there is evidence their current customers can't get what they're paying for.
If you want Google to add a feature to benefit your city then offer to pay for the feature to be added. They are a business after all.
Verizon's Iphone 5 is a GSM device. Are you sure it isn't connected to the GSM network? If you installed a nano-SIM in it then it's likely you are.

YES! I intentionally put the second JUST so it could get corrected. Nicely done sire. You know your Die Hard.
Didn't he die in the second Die Hard movie?

Probably just Skynet going to the past and mucking with things. It's inevitable but just delayed.
It is believed that being a sociopath is a genetic condition so I don't think it can be taught.
