  1. Crash or lawsuit detection? on Uber Will Turn Your Smartphone Into An Automatic Crash Detector (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Just sayin...

  2. Supported by the paper mill lobby and logging companies?

  3. We've reached peak Bells & Whistles on 'It's Time to End the Yearly Smartphone Launch Event' (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Surprised it's lasted this long. The reason we're not seeing "innovation" is because a smartphone is a smartphone is a smartphone. We're pretty much topped out on what the useful purpose a smartphone is for. Everything else is just maybe nice to have, but not absolutely necessary. However, I'd like to see more advancement on the camera side. Like a real optical zoom in a reasonably sized package.

  4. Great, now how about bringing back the Marble FX? on Logitech Is Acquiring Blue Microphones For $117 Million In Cash (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Got a bunch of rabid fans that want the Marble FX Trackball brought back Logitech! Please bring it back newer and better (well just add USB connectivity, it was pretty much perfect the way it was): https://www.facebook.com/Bring...

  5. I'd like to volunteer! on New Zealand Firm's Four-Day Week an 'Unmitigated Success' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd be willing to work 3 days a week and get paid for 5. I'd even cut that back to 1 if asked.

  6. Don't drop this one... on The iPhones of the Future May Be Wireless, Portless and Buttonless (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    It's molded from a single piece of glass. Front, back, sides.. ALL GLASS!

  7. Mickey Dees has the best popping straws on McDonald's To Test Plastic-Straw Alternatives in US Later This Year (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Hope the new ones can be popped like the old ones.

  8. So small caliber weapon? on Guy Robs Someone At Gunpoint For Domain Name, Gets 20 Years In Jail (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    How do you get shot 4 times in the chest and still make it to get 20 years?

  9. Cyrez Corporation did it better on MIT's AI Uses Radio Signals To See People Through Walls (inverse.com) · · Score: 1

    "GET DOWN! GET DOWN, NOW!!!" https://youtu.be/HCeCVZqcpnE?t...

  10. There's already artificial intelligence in the WH on President's Most Senior Technology Advisor Says the White House is Quietly Pursuing an Aggressive AI Plan (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 0

    Actual intelligence would be welcome change.

  11. Little squirt is all it takes at the fire's origin on AI-Enhanced Weed-Killing Robots Frighten Pesticide Industry (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Now do the same thing for fire fighting. Have a solar robot stationed and patrolling a given area. When a fire ignition is detected, it sprays water to extinguish the flame at the source.

  12. Waiting for the Cantina bartender's origin story! on A Star Wars Boba Fett Movie Is In the Works (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Where will it end? Seems like a dilution of the brand.

  13. Will it allow you to rate CEO's too? on Elon Musk To Fight Fake News, Rate Journalists' Credibility Via a Site Called 'Pravda' · · Score: 1

    Hope they're not going to limit it to just journalists. How about having a rating for CEO's too?

  14. "Wingtips! You barbarians!!!" on Boeing's Folding Wingtips Get the FAA Green Light (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    Still a classic!

  15. For watching movies, but not for productivity on Are Widescreen Laptops Dumb? (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I suppose 16:9 works well if you are consuming or producing media in that format. However for most productivity apps like wordprocessing or coding, I would rather see more vertical pixels in order to display more and scroll less.

  16. Notch...schnotch!! on Slashdot Asks: Should Android OEMs Adopt the iPhone's Notch? · · Score: 1

    OMG, enough about "The Notch" already! It's an insignificant sliver of the screen!

  17. Why stop there? Why not just go all the way and do dormitories? Workers could subsidize their living with being onsite 24-7 and agreeing to have the company monitor what they do.

  18. The King already beat them to it. on 'Flippy,' the Fast Food Robot, Turned Off For Being Too Slow (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 1

    I think Burger King already has a working burger cooking robot. It's called a charbroiler.

  19. Ah, so that's pee cancer... on Spread of Breast Cancer Linked To Compound In Asparagus and Other Foods (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I knew something smelled funny.

  20. Great but what about reliability? on Mazda Says Its Next-Gen Gasoline Engine Will Run Cleaner Than An Electric Car (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

    That's all well and good, but I doubt it will compete in long-term reliability against an EV. If you take a look at the myriad of sensors that they added just to make Skyactive-X's sparked HCCI happen, there was *a lot* of complexity and computer monitoring and control to make that happen. Each of those added sensors and connection points is now a new failure point. That can't be good for long-term reliability.

  21. It's changed now, so don't bother trying it. on A Photo Accidentally Revealed a Password For Hawaii's Emergency Agency (qz.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    The password's been changed to "Warmingpoint3" now, so don't bother trying the old one, it won't work.

  22. The one who tracked it... on New Ingestible Pill Can Track Your Farts In Real Time (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The one who tracked it.. cracked it.

  23. Would love to see Xiaomi phones here on China's Top Phone Makers Huawei and Xiaomi In Talks With Carriers To Expand To US Market (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Xiaomi has made some awesome phones for the overseas markets. Would love to see them add support for T-mobile FDD LTE bands in addition to AT&T support.

  24. That's a bunch of bullshit.. on Toyota's New Power Plant Will Create Clean Energy From Manure (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Had to be said.

  25. V-ger seeks to merge with the creator... on Voyager 1 Fires Up Thrusters After 37 Years (nasa.gov) · · Score: 2

    Yeah well that's all well and good until it comes back looking to merge with the creator.
