Whoa. Cool. What motivated you to start doing this? Got a write up about it?

I haven't used v5 so I cannot comment on that transition. However I was around for the transition from v3 to v4 and I'm pretty sure the common sentiment was it was strides more usable. Also, without malice, I find it pretty shocki

Never thought of this personally. But after reading your comment I agree this is pretty cool. I'd want the watch to be much thinner than current iterations though. Especially if we are going more for aesthetics than practicality

Voice recognition has improved tremendously for me as well. But what I can't seem to get over is that it's almost always slower than using my thumbs. Talking is slower than typing, plus the process time needed to interpret the voi

I could probably get by with 64GB if it wasn't for games. Oh, and my FLAC music archive would have to go on a separate disk as well

I tend to swing back and forth with you on this point. Like a lot of us here I don't like the idea to subscribing my entire digital footprint with Google. So I'm currently using a mix of Google products and non-Google products (so

If only there was a workable alternative eh. But I can tell you right now I would not feel comfortable letting violent sociopaths roam freely

Uh. Why do you want to pee in a salt water powered lamp?

I think a reporting system could solve that problem. Classify potential changes, and force human eyes before approving all but the most minor updates

Interesting. Makes sense, but are you aware of any data to back this up?

Scary title, but I think I'll mark this one up as a victory for auto safety. Especially considering a good chunk of death by firearms are (tragically) suicides.

Yep, classic example of giving the people what they want. I was tired of super hero movies years ago. But unfortunately I'm in the minority (and even in my nerdy peer group!)

Dump them into the ocean? That's a bit of a scary thought. Not only tinkering with the oceans ecological balance, but also the idea of our genetically engineered plankton spawning out of the control. I'd prefer to keep them in con

I'm curious about the logistics behind this. Do you have an issues carrying items to work? Spare clothes, laptop, lunch, etc. Also, do you shower and change once you get to work?
