Even if he is a "has been", it's still better than your "never was". Meanwhile, those of us over the age of 14 know that when he moved into the time slot he had on CBS, he can't do the really edgy stuff that he used to do at the later slot.
The question I was answering was, "Who the hell doesn't have bluetooth headphones at this point?" Also, note my previous comment about frequently not having the adapter.
1) People who's cars aren't brand new
2) People who listen to music for longer than the batteries last on Bluetooth headphones
3) People who go into the wilderness where fewer batteries mean less weight and recharging isn't easy
4) People who DJ because you can't mix when there is a delay between the live feed and their headphones
5) Audiophiles because Bluetooth headphones don't provide anywhere near the quality that real headphones do because they recompress the audio
6) Anyone who wants their battery on their phone to last longer
I can keep going, but the point is it was an exceptionally stupid decision by Apple to drop it. Headphones weren't and aren't obsolite, nor are they going to be. Nearly every other manufacturer has backpedaled from dropping it because people want a headphone jack on a music device.
to buy a 6S while they can still get a phone with a headphone jack. I just bought one today for that exact reason. Tried a 7, kept wanting to listen to music only to remember, wait, I don't have the adapter on me.
Making stuff ugly for people. Every time I see iOS 7+ or OSX Yosemite and later, I want to vomit. I used to love Apple until they "redesigned" everything. Something finally hit me looking at the pictures: they present something very drab and emotionless and try to add a few highlights to make you think it isn't the same drab, boring thing you've been looking at all along.
Updating iOS wouldn't be "changing just for the sake of changing." iOS fails its users (and developers) because it can't take advantage of they types of things that more modern OS's (Android and Windows Phone) can. In a nutshell, the home screen is static, forcing you to bury yourself into various different applications in order to find information. People using either of these platforms have already put their phones away in the time it takes for a user of iOS to open up the app they need to get at the information they're looking for.
And if you want to be constantly spied on by Google, you go for Android. At this point, there is no good platform. You can either choose Google Spyware or an OS celebrating its 10th anniversary of not having a significant UI update other than being beaten over the head by Jony Ive's ugly stick.
There is the time taken to read the file into memory, but I'm going out on a limb that the calculated 5MB isn't going to make much of a difference were it purged.
How? It was Tesla's own engineers who told Top Gear that the range on their track given how they were driving it was 55 miles. That's factual and in fact I wouldn't expect my car to go anywhere near as far driving it on a track as compared to on a normal highway. And regardless of why the brakes were broken (broken capacitor), they were still broken.
In the case of the New York Times, he lamblasted the reporter by trying to gather intent from engineering data. For example, the reporter didn't loop around a dark parking lot to, as Musk claimed, run out the batteries, but instead because it was dark and he couldn't find the charge points.
So, given that, yeah, I don't trust reviews of his cars to be impartial.
First, thank you for (correctly) calling out Musk as the lying, manipulative douche bag that he is. If you give his cars a bad review, he goes ape shit which results in automotive journalists being very careful what they say. As such I will never never trust a review of a Tesla.
Moving on, cars GM makes that I want/could settle for:

If you travel at all (I do all of the time), Tesla's entire product line is more or less useless. In addition, their cars become very expensive bricks when the batteries die and not recyclable. Meanwhile, an ICE car or hybrid such as the Volt or Karma can run forever and that ICE car is almost 100% recyclable. That, and given that Boeing found a way to produce ethanol efficiently, the more fuel inefficient your car is, the better it will become as far as CO2 goes.
There are hackintoshes and OSX runs well in VMWare on any PC. VMWare only requires downloading the drivers and there are tools that help you do it. And the restraints on OSX? That's all Apple's doing. NextStep/OpenStep, which OSX is based on, ran on anything with the right hardware.
People in technical majors are going to be subsidizing liberal arts majors the rest of their lives, why not let them subsidize technical majors while they're in college?
I live in one of the most hipster towns in the US. I do work from one of the most hipster coffee shops in town. I'm seeing an evolution from macs to surfaces at said establishment. I've actually seen 4 surfaces and 1 mac in the shop on one occasion.
Couldn't agree more. I'm an actual real life switcher. When Yosemite came out, I realized Apple was heading in a direction I didn't want to go anymore while simultaneously I was impressed by the Surface. In the end, I bought an ASUS UX305 for a year, but my personal computer is now a Surface Book. I say the following as somebody who has used high-end Mac hardware since 2001: the surface book is the best computer I've ever owned. After a friend, who is a graphic designer, had her mac break down, I told her to try one. She'd never owned a PC, nor her family her whole life. Her words to her dad who jokingly called her a traitor: "Apple has lost its edge. This is way better."
It's only the worlds fastest car if you count the cars that aren't faster, such as the Porsche 918. This is why I have a problem with Elon Musk: he likes to manipulate facts rather than discuss his products honestly.
IMO, we should get rid of standard time. Why? Nearly everybody is awake at sunset, but not so with sunrise. As a corollary, in most places below the Mason-Dixon line, this gives you at least an hour of daylight once you get home from work to spend doing things outside with family. Yeah, I get this doesn't help when you're up north.
A few things, but it falls under nearly all of the new features didn't help me as I didn't have an iPhone nor did I want one. On top of that, the user interface overhaul left me unable to have desktop background featuring a photo because the icons lacked edges. Due to the way I perceive things, I had to consciously 'look' for icons because without edges, I just saw blobs of color blended in with everything else.
I figured out with Yosemite that Apple was moving in a direction I didn't want to follow anymore. I'm using a Surface Book these days and IMO it's the best computer I've ever used or owned.
You're acting as though this is an item that everyone has. It isn't. It's an item where most people took one look at it and said, "meh". Meanwhile in that same time period, I bought a conventional automatic watch because you never have to wind it and you never have to change the battery. It always works, it's (old) alternative energy and for me that makes it cool. One of the thing we often forget in technology is that sometimes our ancestors already solved the energy problems we're facing today, simply because they didn't have any.
I came to realize I was paying to watch one original series for a week a year, five seasons of Top Gear and Futurama. I could get everything else that I might watch elsewhere and more. It stopped being worth subscribing.

Android is just a giant spyware ecosystem for Google.

Doubtful. Iphone 6 will remain in demand because of the headphone jack.

Yep. When I travel in Europe, I set up a Skype number and get a local SIM card with data, typically for €10 for 2GB of data.
